Hoping to re-record the lost episode but I do have to give a special shoutout to The Wide Open Sky is Running Out of Catfish, a delightfully funky ecosystem of critters and systems. At once a whimsical escapist fantasy and a reminder that escapism alone is not sufficient. @zipit-games.bsky.social

Live now on Kickstarter: we recently highlighted this project on the podcast amidst our discussion of nature/ecosystem themes. Orbitstar: Expedition to Darwin IV is bringing a speculative sci-fi spin to the genre with gorgeous alien illustrations.

Hey, listen!! It's me again, on the podcatchers. I really need to invest in a good headset for my PC. I'm dragging down Mark and Daniel's otherwise impeccable audio quality. Also need it for Big Walk too.

We discussed TTGDA's announcement regarding creative attribution on our most recent episode and they continue to set a strong precedant for artists' rights
Tabletop Game Designers Association@ttgda.bsky.social · 3w agoToday TTGDA released what we believe is our most important effort so far - our Licensing Contract Rubric. This is an objective scoring metric that can be used to partially evaluate the quality of a contract. We applied it to a huge swath of the industry, and this chart shows how they scored. 🧵 🎲✂️
As a bonus course on our most recent episode, we dredge the shores of Pralaya, an evocative little set collection game amidst a sinking landscape. www.omnigamers.club/2026/08/152-...

I really enjoyed Evolution, but never played Oceans or Nature. Enjoyed this discussion! I do kind of like the idea of modules so you can craft the experience your group will prefer, but part of me would always wonder what the "best version" of the game would be.
The Omnigamers' Club Podcast@omnigamers.bsky.social · 4w agoThis week we put the theory of evolution to the test and see how Nature competes against @northstargames.bsky.social previous generations of biological tableau builders. Plus pushing your luck amidst the sinking isles of Pralaya, fighting for physical media, attribution of game creators and more!
Nature let's you put 'survival to the fittest' to the test, tooth by tooth, claw by claw. It rewards experimentation with the gene pool and the module pool but is adaptability enough to thrive in the cut throat world of board games? We compare our thoughts on the latest episode of the podcast 🐯🫎

As discussed on this week's episode we had the chance to try Boreal Tenebrae (on a CRT no less!). It renders the liminal haziness of small town weirdness through analogue horror aesthetics. Also you can play as a cat.
Boreal Tenebrae@boreal-tenebrae.bsky.social · last mo.Boreal Tenebrae Act 0 is finally here! A indie narrative adventure, set in a forgotten Canadian town. It's available now on Steam. #indiegame #horrorgame #analoghorror #psxstyle #lowpoly #indiedev #gamedev #steamwishlist #indiehorror #weirdcore
Finally, a project we discussed our excitement for in a previous episode and is now live: Children of Time lets you explore evolution and culture over aeons

One more project we shouted out on this week's episode was that Tigris and Euphrates has once again been unearthed from the sands of time. We covered this classic very early in our run so now we get to feel old too.
