Has anyone made a train game about capital using a wildly popular high speed rail project as a vehicle for transferring tax dollars to political ally contractors, ensuring the railway never finishes so they can milk it for eternity? Or are you always incentivized to actually finish the trains?

Houdini's Last Act is a magic trick of an indie game, an investigation of medium hucksters and wavering teammates. It isn't often that we get a small game this handsome or intriguing. My review: spacebiff.com/2026/07/28/h...

Revealing the Medium’s Secret

Houdini’s Last Act feels like a magic trick. And not only because designers Chris Zinsli and Suzanne Zinsli (no relation) (okay, maybe there’s some relation, but it’s rude to assu…

It's not enough to be against AI, you need to be pro art. You need to be a champion of the art you love, you need to share that passion and joy, and do what you can to support the artists who make it, because it's not enough to hate AI, to hate what it's doing to art and media; you gotta love.

I was thinking about a fight I had with Big Sticky and realized: arguments aren't always something you want to "win," at least, not with loved ones. That's the genius behind the game Conviction by @xoe.gay. It recognizes that quarrels can have more outcomes than just win/lose. You should try it.

Narrative outcomes are one of our favorite ways to explore game end states. Win/Lose makes sense for some things, but the games we play are ultimately the stories we write, solo or together. It can be pretty cool and impactful to see how your story ends based on the choices you made through play.

Happy pride like do any of you ever forget I'm a trans aroace pile of autism? Because I feel like I'm already pretty damn loud and proud about it all year round. I feel like this should be the month where the cishets deliver to us offerings to signal they have not yet folded to fascism.

"I denied your ad request on BGG because I spend my free time curing demonic possession, and also I think you shouldn't publish your game which I think you made in ignorance of the real depravity of Satan and his works" is a fucking insane thing to write in an email www.reddit.com/r/boardgames...

Me watching Brave Little Toaster as a kid: "I will watch this VHS on repeat til it breaks, I love it!!!" Me as a young adult: "What nonsense. The toaster is emotionally responsible for a flower??" Me post transition: "High art criticism of wasteful consumer culture. Animism for western audiences."

ANNOUNCING: Swords Against Beginner's Box Replica Edition Coming in June, this is a reproduction of a specific, incomplete, unplayable copy of this 1979 game found at an estate sale in 2016, including replicas of personal effects of the former owner.

Box cover is a field of blue with yellow text: SWORDS AGAINST. Beneath that in black text: COMPLETE BEGINNER'S BOX WITH INTRODUCTORY MODULE "THE VANISHING OF SERLO'S KEEP" BY W.T. SCHAUSS. In yellow frame, there is a fairly poor reproduction of J.R. Skelton's painting of Beowulf and the dragon. Underneath that, in a yellow border, I have added REPLICA EDITION OF 1979 RELEASE - NOT A PLAYABLE GAME, and a faded Hollandspiele logo which I hope is a tasteful addition.The reverse of the original box was blank, so I hope you don't mind me filling up the space with some context. In 2016, a few days after we had started Hollandspiele, Mary and I went to an estate sale and came across this box. I had never heard of it before, but I assumed based on the title it might have something to do with the Lankhmar books, or that, based on the repurposed J.R. Skelton illustration, it might have something to do with Beowulf. Both of these were things I was fairly obsessed with at this time, and the box felt fairly heavy, so I gave ten dollars to the daughter of the deceased. The box had been sealed with heavy strapping tape. When I cut it open, I found most of the box's heft came from the previous owner's personal effects. The core rulebook was missing, as was the "Dictionary of Devils". The only piece of the original game left in the box was the adventure module – but not its dungeon map, or the answer key for its many obtuse puzzles. The game was unplayable. I went online to try to find PDFs of the missing material, but there were none. No downloads on DriveThruRPG, no entries in databases, no forums, no remembrances on groggy blogs. It was almost like it never existed at all. But the box was proof it did. And in those personal effects there were a few clues that enabled me to piece together the story of an RPG publisher that existed for a few months in 1979, and the novelist who wrote an adventure module that in all likelihood was played by maybe a dozen people. More than that, I learned about the person who had owned my copy, and had annotated the module book with a puzzle of their own. The box was proof they existed, too. It occurred to me that all of this was worth preserving, and a few years ago I set about securing the necessary permissions to publish this replica edition. The original publisher, Michael Lord, was still alive – he passed only very recently – and even sent me a copy of the missing materials. I went back and forth on whet…

Been a while since I girlmoded so hard. I forgot I gave my usual eye liner to a freshly hatched egg and had to improvise. And it was to go to an event mostly for dads lmao
