It was a true honor to give the keynote at DiGRA 2025 at the University of Malta.

The audience was deeply moved, some in tears and many asked: “What can we do to help Palestine?”
That question alone meant so much.

Re-watched the trailer I made for @gua-le-ni.com 's experimental game Doors. And really enjoyed the David Attenborough-eque narration I added.

Also play the game, so I can tell Stefano, how well the trailer worked. 😅

Today's #TTRPGRADAR is Goblinz! I had to pause because the description was so close to my own project, but totally different engines. Phew. I thought I better share a fellow goblin game. We need more shenanigans in the world!

I submitted the Bazaar of the Gods illustration for an urban landscape competition on @domestika-org.bsky.social

Insight into the artistic process (and less about the design process) you can have a look at the studies that went into it. Give it a ❤️ if you can!

I am working on my new book on game cities design with CRC, but it won't be out for a while. So, for now, why not get this free 148-pages ebook with game urbanism articles & talks by me.

You know what? I've been working far too hard, and I believe I've earned the right to buy (and read) 'What We Owe the Dead' by @gua-le-ni.com.

It's a beautiful and experimental detective novel, with some lovely @demigiant.com illustrations.

Really liked the random image that popped up on this random game from #GGJ2015 by @ultrarat.bsky.social. Great way to use public domain illustrations, and Charles Dana Gibs linework is fascinating. (Just look at that hair!)

GM Tip: Silence is a powerful tool. After describing a scene or asking a question, wait. Players often come up with their best ideas in the pauses.
