This game is worth it even just for the people working on it. It's got T.L. Simons (Bloc by Bloc), Henry Audubon (Parks), Margaret Killjoy (Live Like the World is Dying), and Meg Lemieur (who, among other things FOUND ACTUAL DINOSAUR BONES): elevationscience.org/field-journa...

This review of Defenders Of The Wild is remarkable. To clarify: It's a favorable review of the game, but I'm talking about the quality of the review itself. @tombrewster.bsky.social has a fascinating take on how the game explores intersectionality to create drama.

First attempt of Defenders of the Wild done.
I lost. Pretty badly. Solo mode seems solid, but I think I played it far too aggressive, and got a lot of bad rolls on the hit dice, which ended up with bodies piling up quickly.
