Ubisoft just postponed its earnings report and halted the trading of its shares. Unclear why at this point but could indicate a major announcement related to the company.

Figures in action! Honestly, these kinds of character pieces are often pretty challenging, but when they come together it's really enjoyable 😀
A Serberys Raider charges forwards A Wolk Kin leaps towards his next target A Tzaangor Shaman... well, I don't know what his plan is. You don't know. We'll just have to hope we're not involved in any way. A Sister of Battle purges her foes with bolt pistol rounds

Various paintings from the 40k ttrpg Imperium Maledictum
Outside a hive city, an Eversor Assassin emerges from his drop pod to make his way to the target. Mudwalker, a walker platform for 'fishermen' to go hunting giant tardigrades. A hive worker on a quadbike speeds to, or perhaps from, her job. She seems to have heavy mining/cutting equipment with her. 12 Imperium Maledictum faction icons. And yes, those are more tardigrades, skewered and roasting in one of the merchant icons.

BREAKING: Yesterday Grand Theft Auto VI maker Rockstar Games fired dozens of people, all of whom were involved in union efforts. A British union calls it "blatant and ruthless" union-busting. Take-Two Interactive says it was due to misconduct.

Here's the scoop: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Yeah, this Dispatch game is incredible.

The AdHoc crew really built something special. I've only finished the first episode and I couldn't be more excited about this series. The writing, performances, animation, and art are as good as it gets.

#portfolioday is here again!
Hi everyone! I'm Sam, freelancer and illustrator on a variety of Warhammer tabletop roleplaying games. Here's a tiny slice of what I do:
Voll Adventures cover for Imperium Maledictum - a Vigilite interrogates a cultist at the site of a massacre, while our heroes prepare to intervene! An Ash Drake ambushes a rather overmatched Chaos warband. Aeldari factions combine forces against a horde of Orks in this cover illustration for Aeldari - Inheritance of Embers for Wrath & Glory. The Skaven Blistrox, with readied spear and braced shield!

Positionspapier zur Etablierung einer Spielwissenschaft
26 Spielwissenschaftler:innen aus verschiedenen Disziplinen haben gemeinsam das Positionspapier "Zur Etablierung einer Spielwissenschaft: Potenziale, Perspektiven und institutionelle Anforderungen" verfasst. Es wurde am 2. Juni 2025 in der PAIDIA. Zeitschrift für Computerspielforschung veröffentlicht. Das Papier ist ein Versuch, die Fähigkeiten und Potenziale der deutschen Spielwissenschaft darzustellen und zugleich zu skizzieren, was es braucht, um diese Forschung besser institutionell zu fördern und zu verankern.
