Huh! First I've heard of it. Do you know where I can find out more?

This trailer gave me goosebumps. Netrunner is one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had - and the only "lifestyle" game I got really into, despite trying loads.

Still one of my favorite take-and-makes Verdant Arizona by @robindavid.bsky.social

Last night, I made some custom tokens for my MTG Super Heroes deck. Turns out it's pretty hard to transfer ink onto shiny cards, but the effect suits a gritty street thug.

While I agree that most games, mechanically, take the first approach, most absolutely work as more of a conversation when it comes to themes and narrative. Glass Road or Imperial don't instruct you in how to feel about their themes...

I've not done print-making in years - but just put this one together. The original is from an old book of poetry. I hope it prints well!

Really sad to hear. Gambrinous do a lot of cool and new things in the tabletop-esque videogame space.

Shopkeeper Boro looks out of his tea shop’s round window with a cup of tea. A spring morning sumbeam illuminates his head. Two pluffin birds approach him joyfully.A drawing of pokenon bulbasaur standing on a little rock and just absolutely BASKING in the sun. Taking it allll in. Surrounded by green lush leafs and tropical venusaur flowers. Tropical leafs cast a shadow.
 A colourful sunny line art drawing. You see the top side of a beach. on one side, on a cliff there is a dog sleeping peacefully on the grassy surface. Eyes blisfully squint, surrounded by flowers and birds. In the distannce. On a rock in the sea, sits a merman, looking lovingly at the dog. Sun shines in their faces. Today is good.A colourful chill isometric drawing. hand drawn and coloured. Optimus is chilling, sitting behind a barn in a farmland. looking at the birds that just landed on his arm. It’s a nice summer sunset.

Definitely a heron. In the US, it's probably a blue heron. They're always so leisurely looking around for fish.

Yeah. Nowhere near as good, IMO. Having all the options dilutes the tension, and progress in that game means more forests.

Robin David @robindavid.bsky.social · 14/05/2026
Glass Road. Mechanically masterful, while also saying something - progress is relentless and your board will transform from greenery to clay pits and clear-cuts. After you wreck the Black Forest, you'll have like... 11 ½ points.

Singapore has something like this too. It starts at the science center, with a model of the sun. I know, because I once spent a day visiting the different planets, but I cant find any info about it online!!!

My six-year-old daughter did a "pick any card" trick, chaotically shuffled the deck and then pulled the correct card from the middle. Incredible! I was so proud - thought she was a magical prodigy! Turns out she just got lucky. In her first ever card trick, she just randomly pulled the chosen card.

I think that is a pretty rural example - I've never come across it. More common examples of that kind of repetition would be phrases like, "I did [thing], so I did." But I don't speak Irish, so maybe someone wants to correct me too...

I'm super excited with what they've done with the game. Mine and Chris's game system is there, with this awesome thematic overhaul, missions, minis, and alien spaceships. They're in the last week of their campaign now. Give it a closer look. www.kickstarter.com/projects/idv...

Eventually, Chris pitched the game to idVenture, who started making it fit their own brand. NeoTokyo was switched for Alien Tech Ancient Rome (incredible!). We had deck-building and player alignments, and these were removed in favour of narrative cards that build upon each other (v cool).

I absolutely love the police drones in the game, and how they escalate as the game progresses. As a player tries to hack, the drones hunt them down - it's a tense endeavor!

Robin David @robindavid.bsky.social · 07/03/2026
We designed a system where there were tons of viable ways to play, and like A Feast for Odin, wrapped all these in a simple central mechanism - dice based hacking and combat.

Robin David @robindavid.bsky.social · 07/03/2026
I mentioned this to Chris, and we very quickly had a theme based around hackers in near-future Tokyo. The player could go about hacking corporations, trying to lay low, or they could invest in their strength and start shooting down police drones. Or maybe they want to be a bounty hunter, or maybe...

Robin David @robindavid.bsky.social · 07/03/2026
I *think* this one started with me talking about how much I like A Feast for Odin, which lets players play in so many different ways. You can run a farm, or make jewelry, or go exploring, or just build houses! And at the end, you have this record of the path you chose in this sandbox.
