Coming to #Dragonmeet this weekend?
Bring cash!
I hear the wifi at the Excel centre is dogshit so I foresee a lot of stallholders having trouble with their card readers, and you don't want to miss out on a great game because your electronic money is temporarily indisposed!

There are four days until Dragonmeet and I'm getting excited, if by excited you mean "Wondering if I've forgotten anything".
I'm on booth E15, just behind Chaosium. Come and say hello. Here's an amazing map of where I am by @jogbrogzin.bsky.social.

Challenge: Go through every post and either identify a game that already does that or make one yourself.

I'm terrible at getting jobs so I just sort of bounce around doing whatever I can get.

I am choosing this one post to advertise this thread because it's the one that had me nodding along most vigorously, but you should read the whole thing.
But to get there, we not only have to get past the dogwhistle aspect of "we never even touched the dice", we also have to teach ourselves to look closely at our own good feelings, to examine WHY we like them instead of just accepting "yeah, feels good, let's chase it" and even embrace discomfort.

Made a page on my website with instructions on how to disable AI features for a variety of services (mainly the ones I encounter at the moment, will append to the list as I go).
The list so far includes Github, Google Services, Firefox and DuckDuckGo.

A short thread of posts about which Pokemon most resemble the playbooks in the game I'm currently crowdfunding. I'm sticking to Gen I for now because otherwise I'd have to look through about 3000 pokes and I don't want to do that.
Gravity: A Roleplaying Game
A one-shot TTRPG about powerful people in a bad situation.

Only £580 left to fund this game!
I was going to do a thread on which Pokémon exemplify the various playbooks but I got stuck on the Faithful because Pokémon are beyond the light of God.

Hey folks, I often do posts calling for indie developers to link me their games so I can signal boost them. Today I want to do something similar for all trans creatives.
If you are a trans game dev, artist, writer, streamer or YouTuber, reply here with a link to your work. Only one rule: no GenAI.💜

I think a lot of my personal game design theory boils down to "systems are inescapable, and if you think you're not using one you're just using one you can't or won't acknowledge".
God help me I'm thinking about game design theory again. 🙄

On the one hand, academic writing from the 1940s sucks ass. It's all digressions and bald assertions, some of which are utter nonsense upon which crucial arguments rest--

I have way too many things to promote. I'm going to end up diluting my message! 😓
Let's start with the Kickstarter for GRAVITY, shall we, which is doing much better since the self-pity boost last weekend. Still need £640 to fund though -- that's 32 more hard copy sales!

I've never really clicked with Scrivener as a writing tool, but I'm happy to give credit to a company which isn't using AI at all.
Unlike most apps these days, Scrivener does not use AI in any way. However, if you’re on a Mac, you may see an AI prompt.
