For the Shadow of the Colossus story, we interviewed 14 people including project leads Fumito Ueda and Kenji Kaido, hired Gravity Rush concept artist Takeshi Oga to illustrate the cover, and put together a 10,000-word story with help from @milkman.bsky.social @shmuplations.bsky.social and others.

Celebrate the 20th anniversary of Team Ico’s masterpiece by looking back with 11 people who worked on it (and three who didn’t).

I don't know. Will you keep blaming Argentinians for a speculative play between rich folk coasting off of the misery of millions?

Speak plainly, yankee, since that is certainly not what you said.

SPINE has been released on itch! You can download your PDF or a printable booklet today to start playing!

I'm keeping it FREE through the end of October.

SPINE is a solo tabletop RPG that looks like a book. It is your anchor to the fictional world, a prop, and a work of art — a keepsake — that you co-create, all in one.

In SPINE, you quite literally embody a researcher who is reading and marking up the physical book in front of you.

@machineiv.bsky.social and the crew behind an #iHunt short film have big aspirations for the scrappy, satirical tabletop RPG all about a monster hunting gig economy.

The 20 billion is not going to Argentina, you bumbling buffoon. It's being swapped so that YOUR Treasure Secretary can keep his friend Rob Citrine doing carry trade, which is exactly what he's been doing since the end of 24'. Dumbass.

How about “Argentina shit the bed and will only squander the $20 billion in stolen American tax money without first going to rehab and making effective amends”? Is that close enough to the mark for you?

Saw this N(N) belt and realized that they made a fatal mistake in their model picture by not letting the light shine on the buckle, makes the belt look way less cool than the other pics

You don't get it. The depth of this piece is that it invites you to simply go out, with no phone, no laptop, no nothing, and just that can of beer, and enjoy it wherever it is you arrive. Really, it is liberatory if you think about it.

Things are really tough right now in Argentina, and even with Milei's fuckery, your dollars going into folk like Duamn are incredibly valuable - please consider supporting him if you're on the lookout for sick character art for your games. Maybe gift your group a party illo!

-Games produced outside of a corporate model

-Often with low count print runs (no more than a few thousand units, usually unable to reprint)

-Made by small teams where the intellectual property is owned by their makers

No, Call of Cthulhu/Fate aren't indie games. Red Markets is.

Prof Murder, Your Host @profmurder.bsky.social · 1d

So It's certainly a question of "what makes an indie?"
Is Call of Cthulhu and indie game? Was it at one point?
Fate?
Probably Red Markets was the Indie Game that best inspired me to get more, even if I wasn't going to run many of them. Just to read for their own intrinsic value.

Thought Punks 🎲 TTRPGs + Punk 👩‍🎤 @thoughtpunks.com · 1d

For tons of folks, there was that -one- game that blew the doors open and showed what #TTRPGs could be. The one that started the #IndieGame rabbit hole.

What was YOUR "gateway" indie #TTRPG? The first one that made you realize a whole other world was out there?
