Forget Starlight is being printed by Shane at Grub Grub Press who did a killer job and is absolutely delightful, helpful, and professional. If you are working on an upcoming TTRPG please consider working with them instead of any of this horseshit. grubgrub.press

Forget Starlight is modular game that is as much about Courtiers, Disavowed Assassins, and Emblazoned Gun Nurses as it is about how we generate stories by finding a throughline when faced with ever-shifting locations and circumstances. Truly something special, can't wait for folks to check it out.

Perfect Tides: Station to Station comes out today on Switch! I'm very proud of what Edmundo and I have accomplished getting this AGS adventure to console, and I can't wait for more people to play it.

Edmundo Ruiz Ghanem@edmundito.com · 3mo ago

Launch day for Station to Station on #NintendoSwitch! We can only do so much to market under all kinds of variables like budget, the economy, other games launching, and people’s mindset. I still stand by this timeless classic that @meredithgran.com has created, and hope people play it when they can.

Finally wrote about Perfect Tides: Station to Station, far and away the best game I’ve played this year.

Kotaku@kotaku.com · 3mo ago

This 2026 masterpiece brilliantly accomplishes something few games even attempt: "This is a game that knows what life is made of; all the perfect nights with friends, all the loneliness, all the grief, all the frustration with ourselves and others, all the searching and wondering and wanting."

Here's a post on my blog w/all relevant links to the Perfect Tides: Station to Station Switch release + Steam discount, plus a small Q+A about how this relates to PT1: meredithgran.com/perfect-tide...

Amberspire is a city builder that understands "city" through a narrative assemblage of historical fragments informing & enriching architecture, population, and challenges. Place, in all its wooly facets, is beautifully realized and feels so far removed from any tabula rasa infrastructure simulator.

🌖 Amberspire is OUT NOW! 🌇 A dice driven science fantasy city builder. Grow your city atop a mausoleum moon, interact with strange weather and ecology, gain influence to make deals with powerful off-world factions, experience the history of a future city. PC, Mac, Steam Deck s.team/a/3350750

i think any discussion of getting into games needs to acknowledge the difference between pursuing game making as a craft vs game making as an industry

Dreams on a Pillow is the game that the establishment doesn't want you to play. A game made by Palestinians about Palestine. This game needs to exist, and we can make it happen. Please back, share, and talk about this game. We must amplify the voices that they're trying so hard to silence.

I wasn't expecting one award, let alone two, but deeply honoured by the recognition from my peers, and thrilled to see @imirt.bsky.social recognising the power and potential of ttrpgs. (this award is shared with @deptofmeteors.bsky.social, a wonderful editor)

Hey, I'm gonna be speaking at @narrascope.org in Albany in June! I'm delighted to team up with fellow editor Marissa Koors to dig into the hot new trend of having your game edited and how you can get in on the craze. 2026, year of the game editor! Full schedule: narrascope.org/schedule/

it feels like such a massive concession of ground for ppl to be constantly defending "learning" and "gaining experience" as good things. like the teacher is letting their worst student stop the whole class dead every day.

Cameron Blevins@cblevins.bsky.social · 4mo ago

This is so, so well-articulated.

Realis is the sort of incredible game of possibilities and weirdos where you can play as “what if the bird in a bowler hat from Une Semaine de Bonté was a grad student” and still encounter doomed knights, living ships, aggressive fog, sniper battles, blood magic, and surprisingly graceful moments.

surely some of you are interested in a podcast that asks "does Georgette Heyer have the fujoshi spirit?"

Let's try this again (I broke the link the first time, I'm soooooo good at this). For my sins, I have started a podcast! Come listen to me and my friend Devan talk about why we think Georgette Heyer's career is worth discussing, in spite of her terrible opinions

seeing @narrascope.org updates coming through, unfortunately can’t make it in person this year but a) last year’s was incredible & highly recommend attending for anyone considering it, and b) I gave a talk that people seemed to enjoy and involves Station to Station m.youtube.com/watch?v=AekY...
