Is Sovereign Tower from @wildwits.games going to be in my top 3 video games of the year? Let's wait until December but let me tell you right now - as a writer AND a video game journalist - I love it, I recommend it, this is a brilliant game you shouldn't miss.

"I’d highly recommend Odyssey of the Giant. Play it if you like cozy, meditative, story-rich games, with prompts that give you lots of inspiration to wrap a story around. It’s more prompt-leaning rather than mechanics-leaning, and like so many solo RPGs, clearly a labour of love." Thank you!

#mörktober Cape // Day 5 Put your cape around my naked body Rock me gently to my slumber Chase away the scary monsters Hold me tight when I hear the thunder Tell me stories of what once was Colossal dreams and weary souls So I can make peace with what I've done Then burn for me the Unholy Scrolls

#morktober Day One Goat Once a little goat Tried to cross a road But a man with sword Took a swing that mowed Again a (headless) goat Tried to cross a road But a wind then blowed And its spine was showed Undying little goat Still tried to cross a road Bravely on it strode Ending here this ode

A (pre)final revision of Hellpower script is ready to head for proofreading. We do that, do a pass through the layouts, proof them and release the game! So close! You'll be able to fight the superpowered villains soon. Meanwhile, see this AMAZING character sheet from @elkowalczuk.bsky.social.

Khthon
A brutal, suffocating TTRPG set in dark underground depths. Old-school at heart, black in soul, and steeped in mysticism.

Quick reminder that Sony: 1. Fumbled with Concord and is still making game-as-service titles 2. Don't do shit with Bloodborne 3. Killed the discs, initiating an epic backlash 4. Just lost Kojima 5. Is working on dynamic pricing And they were once the best in the business. What a joke...

What do you usually do when you feel burnt out? I know, tricky question, because being burnt out means we usually don't want to do ANYTHING. And yet - any interesting things that works for you?

We are slowly coming into the last week of crowdfunding for Khthon but there is still some cool stuff to unlock! Also, all backers will get a Kickstarter exclusive surprise so... it is worth it, I promise! 🙂 Already pledged? Share so more people can do the same! www.kickstarter.com/projects/hel...

Single best series in the history of television and streaming. Smart, beautiful, mature, imaginative, empathetic. Perfection.

That's pretty funny as I just recently wrote a comic book on a very similar topic.

We don't do "typical" classes in Khthon. Instead you'll play as a Potbreaker (hunter-cook), Suneater (blessed by the power of the sun) or Torchbearer (explorer)... and that's only a few out of eight available classes. Sounds cool? So go back the project on Kickstarter and see you underground!
Black and white, scruffy and heavily textured art by Vault Crawler. Four characters: a torchbearer with his helmet lit on fire, holding a spiked weapon, a hunter with a bot acting as a helmet; a digger, crouched in a tight tunnel with his pickaxe; a geomancer, summoning crumbling rock, his head black as a void.

My favorite Dolly Parton meme.
A twitter interaction where someone posted a photo of Dolly Parton looking hot as hell in black and red lingerie. Someone else replies to the photo with "Well then wha the hell did Jolene look like???"

What's a piece of culture (game, movie, book, comics etc.) that you know has lots of qualities, you understand why many people love it but you just can't get into it yourself? For me it's the Godfather (and also The Sopranos), musically Slipknot (and I like metal), and jRPGs in general.
