Cannot express how grateful I am for the team and we're so excited to get a boxed version of the game out into the world. It's a real steal - straight-out-of-the-box guaranteed hijinks for 1.5-2hrs for 1 GM + 6 players. Will you keep your own secrets in the face of daft minigames & find the mole?
Materials for a tabletop roleplaying game Spy of the Year. The Game Master handbook, a manila folder, and playing cards are arrayed enticingly.
I'm not great at social media these days, but it's been a year of hard and rewarding work to bring you a game very close to my heart...

"What worked last time?" Dunno, half the team left.
"What mistakes should we avoid making?" Dunno, half the team left.
"Who maintains this system?" Dunno, it was like that when we got here and we're afraid to touch it.
And so on.
"I must not over scope. Scope is the game-killer. Scope is the creeping-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my scope. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see the production path. Where the excess scope has gone there will be nothing. Only the game will remain.”
Me. I'm gamers here

Look, I'm not saying that your writing should be 100% motivated by spite.
But a little, like 10%, is really helpful for those days where all the other motivations aren't working.
Absolutely scathing and well worth the read.

A screenshot of a tweet by Vera Drew (@VeraDrew22 on twitter), saying: Producing is really just making a bunch of spreadsheets that people never read and trying not get mad at them for it. The word producing is crossed out and 'narrative' is written above it - as narrative folks experience the same dismay at their work never being read by the team.
I have chronic migraines, which have got worse since brain surgery! I also am a game dev (learning/training games) with a focus on accessibility and play lots of stuff, but there are certain games that are 100% certified migraine triggers that I've had to avoid.
Wish there was one of these for the UK, but this looks p legit
If your company ends up in a position where it needs to lay off 25% of its workforce (spoilers: it doesn't), it also needs to lay off 100% of its c-suite for gross negligence.
It would not be impossible. It would be slower, more expensive, and offer a lower return on investment.
whas the fucking point of even posting on here when you cant get dmed by a 24 year old e girl saying "This is us" with a picture of two rats wearing sweaters or some shit

These dogs look like the villains in a movie where a golden retriever wins a snowboarding tournament

Remote work has made employment more accessible than ever, and increased the number of disabled people with jobs.
Working from home can also cut the carbon footprint of employees in half.
Forcing people back to the office goes against workers' rights, disability justice, and climate justice.
@wonderpusgospel.bsky.social and I did a talk on Accessibility in #GameWriting for the WGGB last month - check it out to get tips and tricks to make your game writing more inclusive! www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iqi...
I'm also available for talks like this - hit me up!
i am terrible at BlueSky and somehow even worse at taking public compliments, thanks so much. AdventureX was so much fun!

bless him, my dad has started to send "try cold emailing people" articles about my job search
if you're a recruiter or know about #gamewriting jobs/narrative design gigs going, can you put me and him out of our misery?
if you don't have advanced knowledge, the only safe form of mushroom foraging is putting expensive mushrooms into a bulk bag and self-checkouting as "white button mushrooms" for $2.99
this is excellent and thank you for sharing, i hope it's real
prop cigarettes are definitely a thing - but any amount of inhalation of *stuff that isn't air* is bad for the lungs! some prop cigarettes are nicely flavoured though
