There's this recurring question that comes up in RPG spaces among people looking for design inspiration.
"What genre hasn't been done as a RPG?"
And the answer is clear to you when you encounter a game like Alone With the Fucked Up Guy Looking At You.
"Almost all of them."

lane battlers are just area control games which are just auctions which are just drafting

i like to think of the kitchen as the “food zone,” because it’s where you store your food, it’s where you cook your food, and depending on your layout it might be where you eat your food. at first i was annoyed that this wasn’t getting any engagement but then i realized that i hadn’t posted it yet

every company that signs a branding deal with Harry Potter would be one thousand times better off doing the same thing with Dragon Ball

the thing about writers is that we love it when there are three of something. the thing about game designers is that we also love it when there are three of something. so when you have someone who's both? you better believe we love it when there's three of something.

Namestorming "Naming things is hard" -some gaming guru on a mountain top, hundreds of years ago, probably Coming up with names for things is hard, particularly when (like us) you play collaborative creative games...

Naming things in games can really slow things down.

We needed to come up with a lot of names during our playtest of This Means War, so we tried a different approach to take the pressure off.

No one should be creating partnerships with HP at this point given the ways JK Rowling is spending her money to actively harm our trans friends.

Hopefully Avalon Hill, a game studio within Hasbro, will steer free of this nonsense. I'll reach out to them and put in my 2 cents.

A promotional image for The Dovecote Episode 85, featuring icons for, from left to right, Marn S. Lastname, Will Jobst, Thursday Garreau, Farmer Gadda and Caro Asercion. The image features a new logo which reads 'EMERGENCY!!! DOVECOTE' in bold, dynamic font. Below, in fantastical font, reads "Ep. 85 - The Great Neopets TTRPG Caper." Eclipse is pogging in the corner, with a surprised look on her face. In the background, there's a stony dovecote, some blue and gold curtains, and distant stars with a crescent moon.

Gotta give the "eye catching" award to @chiptheorygames.bsky.social for Wroth. In the midst of the heavy hex-and-counter wargamers - many people wandered near to find out what the impossible-to-ignore game was. The stylish meter hits 11 with this one.

Key illustration containing the title of the webcomic (The Carpet Merchant of Konstantiniyya, 10th Anniversary Edition, by Reimena Yee). Within a stylised depiction of Istanbul's Blue Mosque, a tearful Zeynel is embraced and comforted in the arms of Ayse, his collar and neck soaked in blood. His long coat, a kaftan embroidered in gold florals and flames, is splayed on a floor-sized Usak carpet. The couple is surrounded by gold-foiled tulips, roses and poppies. Woven and sitting amongst the flowers are Zeynel's pets (a white raven and black rat); his English friend Alfred; and his vampire sire, Mora Strigoi. Lanterns are hung from the stems and leaves. Behind Zeynel and Ayse, their family members watch from the columns of the mosque. One of them is a young woman weaving a carpet, the other is a stately grandfather writing a book. A mysterious shadowy figure looms further away. A giant nightingale and bat face each other, framing the title. The illustration is in mostly monochromatic shades of blue, save for the gold of the flowers and embroidery; the bright red of Zeynel's turban, blood and Mora's attire; and finally, the white of the raven, moon and title.

The demo for Operatives: Revolve is out.

It's a cool indie game made by Malaysians which I'd describe as Slay the Spire but in the aesthetic of Metal Gear Solid and STALKER.

One of the most promising projects from a local indie imo.
