Many 20th Century board game designers remain uncredited. This year I've tracked down designer info for 18 games. It's required artifact acquisition, access to newspaper archives, books, and even a trip from Detroit to Connecticut. My patreon producers made this possible. patreon.com/amabelholland

The @dias.ie contingent had a great time this past weekend at the Fourth European Symposium in Celtic Studies, organised by the Societas Celtologica Europaea in Bonn, Germany.🇩🇪 If you’re curious about our work, you can hear more on our podcast “Ní hansae” www.dias.ie/series/ni-ha... 🎧 #DIASdiscovers

For no particular reason, here's a lovely island off the coast of Kerry. An Fear Marbh - the Dead Man.

The draft of the game board for Shakespeare's First Folio.

If you don’t know what the short version of someone’s name is don’t guess.

What's this? Oh, nothing, just some artwork for our Shakespeare's First Folio game.

We are not trivialising LLMs. Copyright theft is not trivial. Environmental damage is not trivial. Unreliability is not trivial. Risk to human cognition is not trivial. Ignoring consent when shoving it into every fucking thing while making us pay our hard-earned money for it is not trivial.

There's a REALLY quick and easy survey for the public consultation on the Basic Income for the Arts scheme - it only takes a few seconds, anyone can fill it in, and it could make a huge difference to arts workers in Ireland. Take a few ticks to places a few ticks here: ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/run...

Irish artists/ supporters of the arts, please check out and fill in this short survey. The Gript/ far right dudes are already sharing it on X and I'd be worried it'll get brigaded. If we want it to be retained and expanded we gotta drown them out.

Come and join us in Oxford! We're advertising for a two-year full-time departmental lecturer in Medieval Irish Language and Literature. Full details here: my.corehr.com/pls/uoxrecru...

Today’s learning session: I, Napoleon.

If you're an artist based in Ireland, this survey relates directly to you. It'll take three or four minutes, if that (it's actually too short). Please check it out. ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/run...

Kathy Barry one of Corks famous women of the Coal Quay this is her standing at the door of her shop on Daltons avenue behind the shop was her little pub which she kept open all through the night it was famous for it's menu of pigs feet and a home made brew known by some as jungle juice.

Saying this with as much love as possible, but please stop using AI generated graphics for activism. Plenty of artists willingly donate their time and work designing for activists, and always have. It's not necessary to step on an increasingly struggling group in order to promote worthy causes.

Another Pride and Prejudice remake on the way and still no Muppets version. When will the world get the Miss Piggy as Mrs. Bennet we deserve

I wanted to share a few thoughts recent discussions around CGE’s decision to partner with JKR for their upcoming @codenamesgame.bsky.social game have prompted. Thankful to those who spoke early to this issue (Marceline, Tiffany, @nopunincluded.com et al) for helping this get the needed attention.

I'll be launching Dr Rebecca Shercliffe's Old Irish: A Beginner's Guide @ria.ie tomorrow eve at 6.30pm. If you are around, do pop into 19 Dawson St. to help celebrate the publication of Dr Shercliffe's new book!

We found that AI tools - both general like #ChatGPT and research-specific like #Elicit - lack the reliability, relevancy and accuracy to summarise research for teachers. This is important because we have been sold the idea that AI will make research more accessible.

Hey, do you have a moment? We need profesional illustrators! Send us your portfolio to [email protected]

Now you have a chance! Please, send us your portfolio! 🥰🧐

We found a pallet that contained 94 copies of Hexasim's Great War Commander, which was previously sold out. We have now added the 94 copies to our website and made them immediately eligible for 25% off Loyalty Sale purchases. Get yours while they last. www.gmtgames.com/p-709-great-...

Hey folks - I am looking for paid graphic design help on a small side project for Gen Con. We need 6 fabric tension tables to be designed for our booth, so this is just a one-time project. Any graphic designers out there looking for something quick? Thanks!

Here's a lovely point to point map of Europe by @domhnallh.bsky.social for the game "1848: The Springtime of Nations", designed by Jules Félisaz and Peter Evans and published by @gmtgames.bsky.social. This is a CDG that builds off the ideas of Twilight Struggle and 1989.

Super excited to announce that @phalanxgames.bsky.social is starting the production of A Very Civil Whist and that the game should be available early this summer! Thanks again @domhnallh.bsky.social for your amazing work on this 👏

Are there any Scottish artists out there? I have an upcoming project that is set in Scotland and I would love to work with folks from there. Need a background artist and a sprite artist. And possibly a composer. ONLY want Scottish creators at this moment in time.

And we end SD Histcon with my own game - Battlegroup Clash Baltics, where some awful rolling on behalf of the Reds meant that Blue was in the driving seat. Thanks everyone at @sdhistcon.bsky.social for a great event!

This is a super video. Very happy to see the new edition of Unhappy King Charles getting so much love from the great man!

I have a pal making an Old West Gold Rush set #BoardGame. It's been in dev for awhile but folks who like Balatro might find it appealing. They care about being inclusive an including a diverse character set. Illustrators sought. I will NOT reply to replies. But they will be noted/shared.
