A screenshot from educational 1996 puzzle game "The Logical Journey of the Zoombinis"

A number of Zoombinis - small blue round creatures - serve pizza to a trio of pizza trolls. This is done using (a) a large, stoney pizza machine that belches out orders and (b) some level of deduction around what each pizza trolls wishes to eat

While described as pizza trolls, the eaters are most certainly of a goblin disposition

I was trained on the knowing of this at a young age.

If your NRV4.n.4 handheld isn't working, make sure you have the current koan build installed, and be sure to downgrade Samsara to 3.8, as the latest cycle simply doesn't work.

Also, *clean your prayer wheels*. Most of them have drums that pop right off the spindle, so it's not hard to do. And you can't accumulate karma if you're just accumulating pocket lint

I made this in a couple of hours and posted it a few days after another piece which I spent a full month on. While the latter got a pretty mute response and sold few prints, this little critter ended up being one of my most viral pieces. It's was a good lesson in learning to have no expectations

Me: Have you heard about the killings?

NPC: Right nasty business. β€˜Orrible!

Me: What can you tell me about the local religious sect?

NPC: Strange lot. Give me the creeps. What’s it like to be real?

Me: Huh?

NPC: To kiss a bloke.

Me: Uh

NPC: To feel a bloke’s β€˜and on the nape of yer neck.

I guess this is more a me thing; my PS1 died years ago, and I could never afford a PS2 as a kid, so I just skipped generations until PS4.

I could probably find a workaround, but I'm not a PC gamer, and I crave the convenience of them on a modern console...

Far Side cartoon by Gary Larson. 

An astronaut stops cold at the top of a ladder exiting a landing shuttle and makes eye contact with a large alien creature who was in the middle of picking astronaut-shaped fruit from an alien tree and eating them head first.

A photo of a handrawn cave network with various annotations, notably the final cave is labelled "crystal cave"

Drawing a map of the cave system started out pragmatically but became crucial to the reflective atmosphere of playing the game, with each player immersing themself in the map of the caves as they imagine them (this beautiful example courtesy of @gunpowdertim.bsky.social )(4/12)

The Deepest Dark The Deepest Dark is a tragic, GM-less horror TTRPG about being trapped underground.

It's time for a thread about The Deepest Dark, the GM-less zine that @georgiacooked.bsky.social and I are funding for #ZineMonth2026 with layout work from @psychhound.bsky.social and a soundtrack composed by @tincanaudio.co.uk

We need 100 people to get us over the line. Come be one of them! (1/12)

In these dark days of February, a little something to look forward to.

A hand drawn cave.

The scientists delved through an underground rainforest, bioluminescent fungus, tombs, sheer drops, waterfalls and flooding, cave paintings, fossil sediments, an underground lake, and finally drifted into eternity under a sparkling sky of crystals

I got a chance to playtest this on Sunday (though it was described to me as "humans should never go into a cave" rather than "the deepest dark")

Honestly one of the most heartfelt games I've ever played, and a real lovely close to a week of gaming with friends
