Tension by Adira Slattery queer cat and mouse romp

You ever chew on a game concept all day long, and then slowly realize you're beginning to reverse engineer Tension? Yeah same

I'm glad to hear it! Happy hunting!

Also, if you're interested in chatting with some other MONSTER GUTS folx, we do have a small Discord community (linked above).

Theme: Monster Hunter

As I've stated before, video games for some reason happen to be the strongest in terms of themed #ttrpg requests and recommendations that I do. Let's take a look at another excellent example!

Monster Guts 2e, by @dubdubpub.itch.io, uses the punchy, quick-to-learn LUMEN system and builds your character options around the most important question you'll ask in a Monster Hunter game - what weapon will you wield?

It's official! Ketchup Entertainment has purchased the worldwide rights for COYOTE VS. ACME from Warner Bros., and will distribute the film in theaters.

You know that you're really designing a monster hunting game when you realize that one of your monster's visual descriptions is: what if the Grand Coulee Dam had a pelican fursona.

NEVER.

I am seriously considering cancelling my Office 365 subscription over this. I've been an Office subscriber for years, but tbh Publisher is the one thing that Office has over suites like LibreOffice.

Office 365 used to be a no-brainer, something I'd recommend to folks interested in getting into ttrpg design. OneNote, Word, Excel, and Publisher are phenomenal tools for dreaming, drafting, testing, and finishing games.

The loss of Publisher changes all of that.

The fact that MSFT is using this as an opportunity to shill for their new genAI-powered "Microsoft Designer" is just the icing on the cake. It's a worse version of Canva, filled to the brim with genAI visual slop.

What's more, Publisher is one of two (2) layout programs I know of with right-to-left text support. I'm in the middle of a machzor and siddur redesign project for my synagogue. Without Publisher, my choices are spend a chunk of change on InDesign or make a book in Word.

Both choices suck ass.

Microsoft getting rid of Publisher is utterly infuriating, and their suggestion that Word, PowerPoint and their Canva knockoff are suitable replacements is laughable.

I have years' worth of work in .pub files. Come October 1, if I want to change anything, I'll have to fully remake it in Affinity.

Very glad to see @nellraban.com featured today on Rappler Gaming to discuss her experiences and contributions to the latest installment of Sid Meier's Civilization! I'm a dyed in the wool series fan so when I learned she was on the dev team, I was very excited to suggest our editor talk to her.

Briefly going to use this as a jumping off point to talk about art! There's a concept in art history called kunstwollen or "will to art" introduced by Alois Riegel, who was a late 19th century Austrian art historian. It is often used to explain why certain motifs appear at certain times in history.
