Money where my mouth is: I’ve just bumped up my support of Dan over at Space Biff to five bucks a month, and I heartily urge you to both check out his frankly unparalleled work, and throw him some cash, if you’re able.

Absolutely solid rave from the children, just like this Maurice Sendak story! www.openculture.com/2015/09/maur...
Letters of Note also tweeted a quote from a Fresh Air interview with Sendak in which Terry Gross asked for his favorite comments from his fans. Sendak told the story of a boy from whom he received “a charming card with a little drawing. I loved it.” In reply, he sent the child a postcard of appreciation and drew a Wild Thing on it, just as he did on the envelope of his letter to Hogrogian. The boy’s mother then wrote back to say her son “Jim loved your card so much he ate it,” which Sendak considered “one of the highest compliments I’ve ever received. He didn’t care that it was an original drawing or anything. He saw it, he loved it, he ate it.”

In tonight's Old King's Crown the Clans took the victory from the Uprising and the Gathering, thwarting a gunpowder plot with a swift and fiery raid.
And end state in the board game The Old King's Crown. A gorgeous card game that takes up entirely too much table real estate.

Very Sad News Indeed. Brainwaves did important work covering news in the BG space and they will be missed.

Oh this absolutely rules. I can foresee many games ahead where I scheme with my evil old cronies to take the crown.

Played my first game of the old king's crown last night, thank you so much @theoldkingscrown.bsky.social. A beautiful setting appears to hide beneath it layers and layers of intrigue waiting to be discovered and meaning I cant wait to play it again...

The Old King's Crown is totally my jam. Plots and schemes. Confrontational to the extreme. Trying to ride the wave of chaos to squeak out precious points. And the art is beyond luscious.

Today I investigate three more indie games, all of which are ambitious and explorative of what games can accomplish. These are good'uns. spacebiff.com/2025/11/18/h...

Yesterday on BlueSky, Marceline Leiman asked a great question. Using only one or two extremely vague words, how would I describe the titles on offer at this year’s Indie Games Night Market? N…
