DiploStrats @diplostrats.bsky.social · 11/04/2025I'm over the moon with how much enthusiasm there's been for the variant design contest; I think it's really acted like a game jam or Nanowrimo in encouraging people to bring their ideas to life. Creating a video that'll do 40+ variants justice is going to be one heck of an undertaking though. 231

DiploStrats @diplostrats.bsky.social · 09/03/2025I really love sharing something non-diplomacy related and getting these comments. Diplomacy will always be my focus for the channel, but there's so much that really appeals to me as Diplomacy-adjacent, and it's awesome to see that it appeals to other Dip players too 140
DiploStrats @diplostrats.bsky.social · 21/02/2025Something I'd never thought about until I saw this (really good) comment - as per 5D Diplomacy mechanics, the original timeline will never have any evidence of their technology's success. To them, anyone who attempts to time travel just vanishes forever. Fun to think about from a story perspective. 140
