Alex MJ 🎲🎃 - Fight or Fright out now! @mixuppixels.bsky.social · Oct 22

Kia ora! I'm Alex, a Game Designer and Podcaster from Aotearoa/New Zealand, currently living in Vienna, Austria!

I make a podcast called Wait, Roll That Again!, which is kind of like a game design behind-the-scenes documentary for TTRPGs, currently about my first game, Fight or Fright!

A Pink cartoon scarecrow is the focus of this book cover. The Game's title, Fight or Frgiht, is in orange spooky writing. A subtitle reads "A Halloween Trick-Or-Treat RPG" A Smiling Jack-O-Lantern Pumpkin is in the top right, with text around it reading Alex Marinkovich-Josey

A Green and white six-sided Die sits on red background. One face of the die has the numbers replaced with bold text that reads Wait, Roll That Again!

Today Dice Exploder kicks off a miniseries on actual play, where each ep we cover one moment of play. First up is @rowanzeoli.bsky.social on the very beginning of My First Dungeon's Orbital Blues series, and an overview of where AP is at as a medium. Plus: is AP a fiction or nonfiction medium?

Actual Play: The First 30 Minutes (My First Dungeon: Orbital Blues) with Rowan Zeoli — Dice Exploder

It's a new series on Dice Exploder all about actual play. For five episodes, instead of breaking down one mechanic, we're going to break down one moment from one actual play show. This week: the openi...

What a week!! So glad this is finally out there - I spent much of my time at the IWGB supporting the workers at ZAUM with unionising and them getting the *first recognition in the UK videogame industry* is such a historic win. So fucking happy!!

Unionized workers with @kickstarterunited.org are poised to strike if the crowdfunding platform's management doesn't approve their new contract.

The union has demanded a four-day workweek, minimum living wage salaries, and protections against generative AI encroachment.

Kickstarter United workers will strike beginning October 2

Demands include enshrining the four-day, 32-hour work week in their contract.

We should receive our official approval letter for the new apartment this week, but we're still short on expenses. In particular, we're really hoping to hire movers because the last move was a lot on us physically, and the new place is a (lovely) 3rd-floor walk-up

If you enjoyed a game on Itch, leave a comment!

Honestly, it really brightens a creator's day. And it's a big encouragement for others who may be interested in getting that game.

Itch hides reviews from the game page, so I find comments more useful in the long run.

Like a game? Comment away!

I'm thinking of running a game jam over october to tie in to Fight or Fright's Release!

Does anyone have any good tips for setting up and running a game jam?
