"What beautiful creatures we have found in the bog! What lovely songs they sing." A painting I did for the folk horror TTRPG "The Woods at Blight's Hollow" I co-created with Oli Jeffery, now available for pre-order 🧜‍♀️
Two gaunt, feminine humanoid creatures with luminescent skin and mermaid tails, each sporting 6 glowing eyes in alien looking heads. They sit in repose in a pond with glowing, shimmering water, in the woods at night. In the distance you can see a light in the window of a lone wooden cabin.

Hey look! I'm giving a talk this year! It's about Reactivity in Roguelikes, building characters that can feel alive and responsive to player action. You should come see it!

This is one of the many neat details that made it into Pentiment! (You should play Pentiment 🥄)

Every time #WotC does something or publishes an announcement that makes me dread the enshittification of the #TTRPG hobby, one of the real ones comes and does something like this. Atlas Games is dropping a net positive for the game design community, *whether you're interested in Ars Magica or not.*

Crusader Kings 3 adds a similar armor in a DLC. You should all try CK3, it's a great RPG.

I checked out this Art of Ray Harryhausen book from the library and there was a lot of cool stuff in it. I learned a lot about early film special effects, too! Having fun isn't hard when you have a library card!

Take a look at Mothership's homepage and just look at the range of bylines it's already enabled. One of only a few, green shoots in the games media right now and as the last few days have highlighted, its existence feels absolutely vital.

Not for the first time, I'm struck that Thomas Aquinas was wasted as a theologian and should have been a trad game designer. This was prompting by seeing he defined 5 sub-classes to Gluttony.

I have a lot of discussions with people who just don't believe individual action can have much of an impact even though world history is full of examples proving otherwise. By the way the two women who spearheaded this were Mary Manning and Karen Gearon. Nimrod Sejake was in Ireland in exile.
