I and a good number of very talented game devs were laid off by Obsidian as part of the Microsoft sacrificial rituals this morning. If you or anyone you know is looking for a Senior Writer/ND with more than two decades' experience in titles like Dragon Age and Mass Effect, please let me know!

INTO THE DARK: SONGS FROM AFTERLIGHT will be released on 5 June, featuring a soundtrack of 35 original songs made for the podcast. As a bonus, a whole second album will be released the same day! BEYOND THE MIRROR: SOUNDSCAPES FROM AFTERLIGHT will feature 23 original horror soundscapes from the show

Hugely sad. We've lost John Blanche. It's hard to know where to begin. He set fire to a generation's imagination, and those fires show no sign of stopping burning. His work very much illuminated the darkness.

Due to the continued issues with Kickstarter & the recent announcements around censorship, we are announcing the move of @navaarsnp.bsky.social's Soothwardens to @backerkit.com This was a unanimous choice by Navaar & entire team. It means starting from 0 and rebuilding. ttrpg.link/soothwardens 1/3

did a new ttrpg starter pack get posted? woke up to a bunch of new game designer followers and it’s awesome! excited to check out everyone’s work! but also where are all y’all coming from

there is a throwaway visual gag in the show Widow’s Bay where there’s an old 60’s era tabletop game called TEETH and the only thing inside of it is a pair of pliers and idk how to explain it but that is exactly the vibe i’m trying to capture with my games

The “direct relationship” line is such paternalistic bullshit. It just means “we prefer conversations where we can tell you to jump and you have to ask how high.” A union is still a “direct relationship” - just one between equals instead of one between superior and inferior.

Wizards of the Coast has issued their first response to our announcement of unionization. I am glad that they agree that workers are the lifeblood of the company, however it is important to note that we tried and failed to raise our voices for years about this stuff and were unheard.
