The amazing QQ Discord mods have arranged a review jam for the month of September! Super excited to offer tips and help give some awards at the end. (August can be for playing stuff you might wanna review, but it's not mandatory)

Months of work, a lifetime of learning, but the Levelling The Playing Field 101 Courses program launches right now. Eight €40 courses launching 10 days apart, I aim to make the critical less-spoken parts of indie gamedev accessible away from expensive visa-locked hotel bars. courses.ramiismail.com

Levelling the Playing Field - Courses by Rami Ismail

Practical, focused courses for indie game developers. Business, marketing, budgeting, production, pitching and more - by Rami Ismail.

Public Domain Art is the lifeblood of small tabletop rpgs, but it can be a nightmare trying to find the right art and license. This week, I’ve re-uploaded my old list from 2020 (with updates) of public domain websites. That's 500,000+ public domain paintings, photos, maps, and film. Link below 🔗👇

how hard it is to learn an rpg based on format (easier to hardest): box of cards zines spiral bound book hardback book in a funky size box with no cards softcover book above 100 pages softcover book under 100 pages big ass fucking book games explained verbally (9:00pm) other zines pdf

At its worst, it's a very talented team trying to fit into a Disco Elysium-shaped box. At its best, the writing, twists and humanity reach... not the peaks of the first game, exactly, but different peaks. It's a different story. I think it's also a sadder game, which is quite the achievement 😅

How does the writing compare to Disco Elysium? I know there was some hubbub over some of the original staff departing/being let go from the studio after DE released.

Really enjoyed ZERO PARADES: For Dead Spies. John Le Carre but with the same cocktail of irony and authentic enthusiasm you find in Metal Gear Solid. Super cool work

Pleased at the non-existent crossover between the nominees here and the games coming up in Quinns Quest season 3. There are too many great games out there for us to be doubling up publicity!
