War-Torn Ice Moon, the TTRPG book whose development teasers spawned all the Europa Ice War posts in 2025, is finally out to backers digitally! It looks SO good with all the art & layout, but the text itself is really substantial too - and makes me want to run a FIST campaign *so bad*!

As it is Skynet Day, it seems as good a time as any to share that data center based LLM Ai is caught in a death spiral which is going largely unreported in the media. In short, major insurers are creating carve outs for Ai, refusing to insure it, causing corporations to abandon its front facing use.

For all of the FF7-ifcation that Heroes of Might and Magic 3 has been getting over the past several years, along with multiple spiritual successors like Heroes of Science & Fiction or Songs of Conquest coming out, I wish even a fraction of that attention has been given to HOMM *4*.

-IMPORTANT- Gumroad has recently updated their website with the intention of phasing out the ability to manually edit your storefront and allowing you to only edit your storefront via AI agents. I will be dropping gumroad support entirely in the near future. More to come as I sort things out.

A very real problem we're having now is that the medium is no longer new, the new creators are inspired by other video games instead of other art. Miyamoto made Pikmin because he liked being in the garden, but every ONL game is being made because open worlds are cool and UE5 has nice visuals

As a games journalist, I try to avoid saying “this game looks like this game plus this game” because it feels dismissive and kind of mean but holy shit I need some studios to start making games that don’t look like “this game plus this game”

disclaimers: placeholder logo, preemptive proof copy for showing off to visiting family, bought from Lulu instead of DriveThruRPG also they (or FedEx) seem to have mishandled it, and they fucked the bleed, and the colors are super washed out on every page but 1. so. But Still 🤩

it truly was wild to learn that THEE creator of the famous Europa Ice War was considering turning the setting into a supplement for FIST and the final result is downright incredible. it's an awesome start for thirdparty FIST crowdfunders and it's also just cool as fuck like damn 🥂💖 you rock lolt

everyone is really mad at r/rpg for having a rule that the bulk of your posting should not be self-promo and as someone who's followed that rule while self-promoting extensively i'm genuinely at a loss over the discourse
