Call your senator if you see them on this list and tell them no to KOSA.

Experts raise privacy concerns over Michigan bill targeting pornography and VPNs Rep. Josh Schriver, the bill’s sponsor, says the law is designed to target only producers and distributors of pornography, not everyday internet users.

Buried in Michigan's antiporn bill is a provision to effectively outlaw "circumvention tools," such as VPNs.

Mark my words: legislators will increasingly leverage porn panic to restrict or ban VPNs, and to limit internet privacy far beyond adult sites.

YouTube video by A.A. Voigt Deathmatch Island, Squid Game, and the Tension of the Prisoner's Dilemma [TTRPG Video Essay]

My latest essay is on @olddog.games's "Deathmatch Island!" I talk about how the game designs its climax around the Prisoner's Dilemma, and how, despite the fact that the game wants you to break that cycle, that initial tension is the best part of the text.

check this game out! I playtested it! it’s a rly interesting experience, that simultaneously puts your character in a fraught situation and asks you to explore it with your eyes open. congrats to the data sparrow team on putting this out!

One hundred one-page RPGs later, Grant Howitt isn’t ready to quit Don’t you dare call it a legacy.

One hundred games is a heck of a lot of games to play, or even to own, but it's a staggering number to write, even if they're only a single page long. Chase chats to Grant Howitt, designer of Honey Heist and many other one page games, about the game jam he's running to celebrate the milestone.

stop asking me to review things!!! "tell us how we did" it was a dentist appointment. I cried and bled from the mouth. the maintenance of this decaying flesh vessel is tedious, humiliating, and ultimately in vain. bathroom very clean. four stars.

Multiple sets of images in a collage. They depict sections of the game, with 3 panels per section. Going left to right, top to bottom, they are: The Worlds That Were, The Weapon (which is firing), The Fool (giving a speech), The Worlds That Are, The Great And Terrible Nature, Your Companion And You, and The Miracles.

This unit finally finished all the page art for its current game project, "My Hands In The Fates Of Gods"! The game is inspired by several animated films, including a handful of Ghibli works, and this unit tried to capture the vibe of the art in them!

I was genuinely surprised by the interest and positive response.
Here are some of my favorite entries:

Crypt Of The God-Gilded Chalice by Deric Bindel Seek the Chalice, Become unto Gods in this Cassette Case Dungeon Crawler!

Crypt of the God-Gilded Chalice (by
@dericbindel.bsky.social) is an excellent short dungeon delve you could just have ready at the table in under five minutes. I love the simplicity and mood of the graphics.

#Mechatober2025 No.2 Mercenary.

And, apparently, nothing screams "mercenary" to me more than a demented Thomas the Tank Engine enthusiast.

I had to put some orange on the top to try and break that vibe down a little bit :D
