at this point I'm convinced that any advantage the US has on the world stage is due to how stupid our investors are and not due to, like, any of us being good at stuff. If you're an American company who can throw together a pitch deck for Sleem - the magical sleep beam (AI powered) $$$ will arrive

@rathayibacter.itch.io is one of the greatest slept on designers in the game space, imo. They've got a 13-person Halloween larp that looks incredible. Check it out. Buy it and support their shit. rathayibacter.itch.io/children-of-...

every time i see one of my best friends of over a decade he asks to guest on my podcast. i say sure if you want to read and discuss a tabletop game. he goes can we do a play instead. i say so you’ve fundamentally misunderstood the premise of my show

In 2017, Criselda Vasquez painted this portrait of her parents and titled it "The New American Gothic." Last month, her father, the man in this portrait, was abducted by ICE after being in the US for 30+ years. The family is now struggling with bills. A GoFundMe has been started: gofund.me/456d8a193

In an ancient forest, shallow pools reflect not the trees above, but a luminous city of elsewhere. My shortlisted entry for the Cheltenham Illustration awards. Inspired by the changing landscape, childhood (and adulthood) fantasy, reflections, exploration of strange places... #art #illustration

Live now, it's The Dovecote! Tonight, I'm reading through @anxiousmimicrpgs.bsky.social's GIRL FRAME, a tabletop roleplaying game inspired by a variety of mech works and other excellent TTRPGs. I've heard great things about it, and I'm excited to give it a read. Tune in!

Tomorrow, Monday 3/16/26 at 7:00 PM EST, it's The Dovecote Episode 86, and the first ever Dovecote Workshop. Workshops will have a focus on designing and reading! This episode, I'll be reading through and giving my first impression of GIRL FRAME! I've been very excited to check this game out.

today #PlayHighguard dies, and thus we begin the search for its reincarnation. one early candidate is The Legend of California, a first-person action-survival gun game set in the Mythical Unpopulated Island of California.

some, however, have their doubts: The Legend of California plans to have an open beta, displaying a fragility of will and character that Highguard stood above. others also point out that its thirty-four developers are too few to make up a small indie team like Wildlight.

regardless, we remain optimistic, and if The Legend of California truly can carry on the spirit of Highguard, we trust that the #PlayHighguard nation will accept it into their warm embrace.

today #PlayHighguard dies, and thus we begin the search for its reincarnation. one early candidate is The Legend of California, a first-person action-survival gun game set in the Mythical Unpopulated Island of California.

the signs are there: four years in secret development, fixation on guns and horses, mining, axes, terra nullis fantasy, and even the day-one blessing of Geoff Keighley.

before being confirmed, the successor must be able to indicate a premium currency belonging to the original Highguard from among hundreds of others, among other challenging trials to weed out pretenders.

Starting a thread to showcase other neat games I know are in the No ICE in Minnesota bundle. Feel free to chime in if you have (or want to recommend) a game in here I've failed to mention

Wizard War is in this bundle, alongside a bunch of other great stuff. Please consider donating $10 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota in exchange for my game and many more itch.io/b/3484/no-ic...

[BXLLET> by @rathayibacter.itch.io is a post-apocalyptic Western Gunslinging game that doubles as a meditation on violence. It has one of the most elegant and brutal combat systems I've ever seen: "If you point a loaded gun at someone and pull the trigger, they die." rathayibacter.itch.io/bxllet
