📖 THE GAME NARRATIVE KALEIDOSCOPE ❄️ is out NOW!

www.inklestudios.com/kaleidoscope

100+ essays on writing & narrative design, with articles from the writers of Baldur's Gate 3, Control, Call of Duty, Prince of Persia, Tomb Raider, Sam and Max...

ALSO the Kaleidoscope Podcast with 2 full eps!

🔈🔈 Roll call! Looking for folks who are…

– attending #UKGE 2026
– comfortable standing under the umbrella of ‘woman’ (however you choose to define it)
– creatives who have been negatively impacted by AI
– interested in sharing these experiences in public

BIPOC/BAME women prioritised, as always.

This kind of thinking really strikes me as the problem of what crowdfunding has become: it’s not Kick*Starting*, it’s Kick*Finishing*

And boy howdy does that reinforce systemic systems of privilege where only people who already have the capital to expend can meaningfully participate in the market.

If you are in Glasgow and want a treat, go try the Glasgow Radical Tours walking tour. One of the guides wrote "John Maclean; Hero of Red Clydeside", Henry Bell and will indulge endless questions like a champ <3
All their tours are great.

Need seizure pills. Getting pretty bad for me. Emergency care + infusion again would dig a deeper hole. Please help.

Take care of yourself, hope all the results are good!

I have editing and sensitivity reading slots available again now! If you're looking for a qualified, experienced editor or SR for your next project feel free to drop me a DM. I have money saving deals for small/ indie creators and can always work within a client's budget 🥰

I don't know if I'm particularly good but I just love focusing on words and choosing the right ones for what I want to say and for the feelings I want to evoke.

I spent an evening editing and improving an older short story and all I want to say is that AI "writers" don't know the pleasure of trying different words and choosing the right rhythm to the sentence. They don't seem to know it's possible.

Their lives are emptier for it. Just like their "writing."

This offer is still available and I’m very flexible on what it’ll cover and making sure to do right by your project - just send me an email to start a conversation!

I'll be watching out for that!

Hi Bluesky!

I’m Anzal, an independent game developer from Scotland. I’m currently working on Pip Pepper Park Planner, a thinky video game in which you design places for animals.

Also, I wanted to quote the next post in Quinn's thread here but I clicked wrong and now it's too late.

This also works, I guess, but look at that whole thread.

I think ttrpgs are an exciting medium because creativity happens on two levels here: game design and using a game to tell a story/create certain experiences by people who pick it up.

To me, one of the most interesting things in ttrpgs is what happens when people pick up a game and use it as a starting point for their own creativity - coming up with ideas within its framework or tinkering with it, taking it appart and mixing it with other ideas they bring.

That's part of what I'm getting at when I say that I see designing games as a proposition/invitation.

To me, it's like saying: "here's my ideas for something you could explore and play with" and it's up to others to pick which parts of what I'm presenting they want to engage with and how.

I think we do, my process is pretty slow 😅 (mostly due to being overwhelmed with day job and always too many plans). That's why I never managed to actually participate in a game jam.
But I'll be watching what others create with interest!

I unfortunately lack energy to create something quickly now but I hope this will lead to some cool things being made!

gothHoblin's Birthday TTRPG Jam A game jam from 2026-03-03 to 2026-05-03 hosted by gothHoblin. It's my birthday in a couple of months and like many cool TTRPG folks before me, I'm running a game jam to celebrate! The Theme Make some...

My birthday game jam starts in less than a week! Check it out:

I wish more people playing TTRPGs read the games thoroughly and made a point of understanding what the game is trying to do before playing. GMs and players both. I love Actual Play. I love one-shots. But neither are going to teach the game better than reading and analyzing the actual game text.

Atlas Imprecatis A horror TTRPG about ritualistic urban legends, and the people who are drawn to them.

Atlas Imprecatis is live on Kickstarter! Create and explore a ritualized urban legend in this new No Dice No Masters game for 3-6 players inspired by movies like the Ring and Candyman, as well as podcasts like the Left Right Game and Archive 81.

There are plenty of such people! And right wing has a whole thing about Europe "falling behind" due to such things as workers' rights and any kind of protections against unmitigated capitalism.

AND IT IS HERE!!! Vermillion Vespers, the modern vampire #TTRPG based on the SNAP! SRD!

Pull up those Docs, put on that eyeliner, and dive in for maximum mood.
