The map book for Distant Skies
Distant Skies is a massive upgrade from base Sleeping Gods. But I blame @patrickleder.bsky.social for flying us into the terrible frozen north.

Hey everyone! If you are a player of Earthborne Rangers at any stage in your campaign, we'd love to hear from you!
This is a quick survey for us to collect some fun facts and other data about how you are playing. Keep an eye out and we'll be sharing some fun infographics using the data we get!
With news of more games media layoffs, this seems like a good time to share my Indie Games Media starter kit β itβs more important than ever that readers directly support their favourite publications and writers.

Actually, I want to quote this again, because I think some of us are making the misstep of allowing this conversation to proceed on Dancey's terms.
He insists he was only talking about *ideas*, not finished products. What goofballs we are! Except...
Now I'm sad I'm not going!

Spread the word! Thanks!

Yeah, it can work well as long as it's in the correct context in the design. To the point a lot of people make in response to Dan, I think the flavor of *why* you're randomly moving is important. In a cartoon race? Makes sense. In a whodunit, why is our movement so variable?
23.02.2026 20:55 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I couldn't come up with a reply for Dan because my personal philosophy is very "there are no bad mechanics, just mechanics that are right or wrong for a specific design." But I think there are some very insightful replies in here!

Hey folks!
With just over a week until our second campaign - a 2nd printing of TOKC, a brand new expansion called Songs of Home, as well as a couple of upcoming surprises ; )
we've posted a new Gamefound update covering some of what you can expect before and during!

Teaching @maxcbrooke.bsky.social Sorcery. He had me pinned with a massive bone dragon and I saved myself by awakening a living island that had lay dormant since the beginning of the game.
I love this game.
I'm the design director on π π³π and β¦οΈππ.
I'm the lead designer on β¨π²π.
And I've got a prototype for π π³βοΈπ² underway!
Nick's design on this is clever and thinky. I've got a copy from Indie Game Night Market if any local friends want to check it out!
(I also heard Nick might have a few copies left if you go bug him on the Woodland Warriors discord.)

Lowkey one of the best illustrations of the fundamental flaw with LLMs.
Can complete truly uncanny tasks in certain contexts, but fails at something every programming student could code after 1 week of CS 101.
