I’m working on illustrating the Swindle, and unfortunately it seems like something indie artists and designers just have to anticipate these days. Sorry that happened, and I can imagine how discouraging that must feel. For what it’s worth, I watched it unfold in real time and you did great work!

"A Journal Noteworthy" is an architect's workbook for the award-winning puzzle video game #BluePrince by #TondaRos. I designed the notebook to help my partner and I explore Mount Holly together, and I'm really pleased with it. Check it out! #rawfury #dogubomb #steam #lulu

This game still lives rent free in my head 🙏 It’s a master class in minimalist interactive storytelling. The sense of place, the methodical slowness, the tactile UI, the curiosity and fascination with naturalism… It’s an ode to the human urge to explore precisely because of the limited POV.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps. If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

I'm very excited about EVERYTHING we are doing with Lost in Cult, but I'm especially into doing a beefed up boxed edition of Spindlejack. It's the first Citizen Sleeper thing where the star isn't a sleeper, and its actually a sci-fi bike-courier game with a strategic grid (!!)

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.” What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.” Funny how that works.

I played the demo and was hooked as soon as the old-school module opened and the game zoomed in on the art and let you move around inside it. It's clear the demo's just scratching the surface, has a dark sense of humor, and feels like classic dungeon crawling in the best way.

Blades '68: Player Principles handout.
A letter-sized handout titled "How to Play Hard and Have Fun in '68". The principles are:
1. Go in boots and all. The campaign will be shorter than you think. Make stuff happen now. Don’t wait, pull the trigger.  
2. Dig the other characters. Dial in on the other player characters, pay attention to their narrative, and get your own character involved. Be their fan, or be their foil.
3. Make the GM sweat. Think of the game like a physics toy, and push the levers you have as hard as you can, just to see what happens. Rattle the cage, jump out the window, don’t look down. Move so fast the GM can’t keep up.  
4. Sell the punches. Always choose the bigger reaction. Let your character be changed by the world and by the other characters. Let them be upset, emotional, irrational. 
5. Fuck around and find out. If your character dies, they can come back as an echo. If they have to retire, you can always make a new character. The crew cannot be stopped. Act first and think later, make bad decisions, let the chips fall where they may. 
6: Learn to stop worrying and love consequences. Most rolls are going to have consequences. Wouldn’t it be boring to succeed all the time? Embrace consequences, and create consequences, then roll them up in a giant ball of chaos and surf on top.
