I am on holiday. Please come to this and tell people to come to this so I can enjoy my holiday and not worry about people not coming to this.

You can all stop DMing me about the similar site to Local Wikipedia that apparently has been popular on CSAM sharing website x dot com. There are no laws against being a twat!

A year on from me starting it, I complete my list of 101 TTRPGs I played before my 50th birthday. How did you spend your birthday? I bet it wasn't doing your work and then hammering out 3.5k words about the chatgames with funny dice (or no funny dice, or no dice.) #ttrpg

I need an artist for graphic design work: 1) For Maraoke: Poster design for now & future. Creating a template that we can rework + reuse, FUN 2) For a game: think future-retro aesthetics, old arcade cabinet flyers, COOL Budget is small but non-zero. DM / stemail at google's popular email service.

2) The game is a retro-futuristic vector racing game. You can find it in my timeline if you scroll far enough. Sorry if you do that. I'm looking for someone who can make support materials that embrace the game's aesthetic and wrap it in 1980s print design. Good fonts, good layout - not illustration.

Also: I have people already messaging with AI work. If I wanted that I could do it myself. Please link a portfolio that shows you are human (and that you've done this kind of _design_ work before - the illustration work I've been sent is great but neither of these are illustration projects!)

Lots of DMs about this (thank you!) so will answer here: 1) Maraoke has strong logo, icon + elements that we like; we're looking to embrace those + better comms in a template for our regular shows that can be remixed & still stand out. I made this - your work needs to be (much!) better, obv.

I'm pleased to report I've still got it. The Royal Writ is out now on Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox and Game Pass. Really happy more people now have the opportunity to play this brilliant deckbuilder.

I reviewed Wolverine - it was… ok. It reminded me of that Philip Larkin line, "A sense of falling, like an arrow-shower, Sent out of sight, somewhere becoming rain." But I didn’t put that in the review because I didn’t want to end up in Pseud’s Corner again www.theguardian.com/games/2026/s...?

theguardian.comMarvel’s Wolverine review – a gloriously conflicted lead is let down by crude, boring battlingLogan is well realised by Liam McIntyre and some exquisite character art, but there are lapses in narrative and emotional arcs and some of the combat feels like a chore

I was saying exactly this to someone today. Zach is right. I mean I was saying what he is saying. I wasn't saying Zach is right, I would literally never say that out loud.

Zach Gage@stfj.net

Ok im gonna say something here that is going to draw a lot of different feelings from everyone, and I want to be clear i'm not "in support of this" or "against it". i'm just saying it as an observation that seems true to me: I think with the latest frontier LLMs, the “music” era of games is upon us
