Really, *really* dislike what I'm seeing of the new Dark Sun. OG Dark Sun had some seriously cool, *very relevant* themes (life under tyranny, life after genocide, life after ecocide) + bondage glam rock Jojo-pose aura-farming. This new stuff is busy-gore + generic metal + cyberpunk (???) Urgh.

for me personally my best solo game is probably Hinge. most people consider it a dating app but for me it seems to be largely a singleplayer experience
What's the deal with games needing monsters you can kill with no remorse? I keep seeing TTRPGs touting this in their marketing ... There was Obojima, a while back; now Deathbringer with its pig-faced orcs. I genuinely don't get this! What desire is being served here---and whose? 1/
my face when I googled something about my game darkwebSTREAMER and the genAI response declared that a man designed the pioneering language system that I, a woman, designed we were talking about erasure of women's achievements by LLMs YESTERDAY and today i see this? goddamn.
When utilized in literature review, LLMs consistently 1. fail to mention female authors in female-led literatures, 2. insist that men are more influential or more heavily cited when this is contradicted by objective citation counts, and 3. attribute women’s work to hallucinated male scholars.
Another Cataphracts character, another costume. This time Antoni "Tony" Grammo from the wonderful world of Vanitera. The game did NOT go well for Tony, but at least I got a sick outfit out of the deal.
EN World has banned discussion of Deathbringer, the TTRPG they supposedly voted as their "Most Anticipated of 2026". Masterful gambit, Dan "Professor DM" DeFazio and co.
Me: And it goes pecker, prick, dick, cock, hog. That’s how I see it anyway. The alien prodding my junk with a glowing implement: BzzZGONADSzzZB Me: Ow. Yeah. Not quite as many fun words for those though.
The deathbringer demo crowd was all 30-50 yo white men. Chanting, laughing—prof DM really puts on a show. Deathbringer’s art shows you what they find funny. Women are funny. Enemies that look like black people are funny. I am Red Box D&D old. And I thought we ALL had grown up more than this.

talking about "culture of play", exogenous rules for roleplaying, and s*st*m m*tters edmocat.bearblog.dev/my-exogenous... (and Miro boards)
My Exogenous Rules
Culture It doesn't take much browsing of (non-5e) tabletop roleplaying hobby spaces online to see that much of the conversation on games is centred around...

Just read this and it's phenomenal. Incredibly well-drawn characters, and a situation that rests on the knife's edge of Violence. I hate everyone in it and feel desperately sad for them at the same time. Good shit.
ICD-10 Code W54 is my entry to the Violence jam hosted by @lukegearing.bsky.social. It's about an illegal teenage dog fighting night in Forres, Scotland and is, perhaps, my grimmest work yet. Photos taken with @moodcamera.bsky.social. You can get it on my Itch: rmrondel.itch.io/icd-10-code-...
I don't know, just feeling a little burned out over the battle nun doing so well, the reminder that r/rpg doesn't like us, and the tone deaf webinar invite from Backerkit about DCC (no, the other one). Just feels hard and bad right now as an indie designer.
ICD-10 Code W54 is now available for pay-what-you-want - if you read it, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
