Two different things I believe:
1. MtG is cool because it is non-deterministic and has this ever-shifting card pool.
2. Wouldn't it be cool if MtG froze the card pool of modern for a couple hundred years - just long enough to have treatises written about specific play patterns (Finkel Gambit, etc)

I'm starting to think the game of chess might be... good? Please let me know if there's truth to this or if it is boredom-induced fantasy.

I spent 45 minutes with silksong and these are my first impressions: is this real? Events appear to transpire beyond some sort of barrier or screen I cannot influence aside from pressing buttons on my "side" of the dividing medium, but if these bugs are really doing all that it should be on the news

AN HOUR OF WOLVES, a Wretched & Alone game that I designed for the OATHSWORN finale, is out now.

Marshall your forces and make a final stand against the dark.

Roll 100 D6 dice, draw cards, and decide what you're willing to sacrifice to survive.

A greyscale image of a holy warrior lifting her sword aloft. The knights around her raise their swords and cheer.

Hey there Delilah
It sure is dark inside this cannon
A circus for the first date
Is a choice I'll reexamine
If I'm found
After I am launched by this clown
Clear over town

The first bed ever designed for non-monogamy was prominently displayed in the waiting room at my childhood dentist's office.

No sledgehammers - we followed the kids to the afterlife (the school). Only one teen was allowed into heaven. The rest went to Hell - the walls covered in black paper mache and there were these fans blowing red paper streamers up like fire. The devil was there and he teased the teens as they burned.

Hey did anyone else's high school do the scare tactic thing shortly before prom where they wheel in a destroyed car to warn about the dangers of drunk driving? Also did they follow that up by letting teens use sledgehammers to smash the shit out of it like mine did?

a screenshot of a submission to the new yorker cartoon caption contest. the cartoon depicts a man and a woman walking in the woods, stumbling upon a giant mousetrap. the caption reads:

a life will end here. these trees will be the last thing it ever sees. this bait, the last thing it smells. it will not see it coming. it will not understand. it will not have a chance to. a hole torn in the world. I bet I could just grab it, though

Hello all you new Bluesky folks. Thanks for hopping on the boat. It's chill over here and sometimes we talk about Twilight Imperium. Here, have a meme

It's a meme of someone about to put a mogwai (from the movie Gremlins) into water. "What harm could it do?" is the caption, with the water labeled as Tech, the mogwai labeled as Nekro and the hand forcing it under water as Jol-Nar. I just realized in this moment that while I believe in alt text, I never want to caption a meme ever again, so I guess this was the last meme I ever post on Bluesky. RIP.

But that's not all - today is the debut of PAPER LABYRINTHS, a new show from @nictringali.bsky.social and me that features conversations about cross-disciplinary game design. Tabletop, board games, immersive theater, video games, and the people that work and make art where those disciplines meet.
