"The industry's finest sustainable storyteller" is an appellation that we'll wear with pride. Thank you, @jeremypeel.bsky.social and the Edge team, for this wonderful profile in January's issue.
"The product of writing is not words but meaning. And generative AI can’t understand meaning, or perspective... It can only algorithmically guess at what you expect to hear, with varying levels of success."
Thanks RPS for talking to our Narrative Director @chrisgardiner.bsky.social for this one.

These are perfect "play while vaguely nodding and saying 'uhuh' around relatives over Christmas" games. Highly recommend.
One last thing from us this year! A cheeky Switch sale on all of our games. It'll last two weeks. Enjoy.

The Failbetter sunless games are one of those deals where I don't think everyone will love them but if they ARE your thing they will become a part of your personality. If you like worldbuilding, weird bullshit, reading a lot of text, and feeling very small and out of your depth, give em a look

sometimes i am freshly reminded of what our game sounds like out of context
Since getting a Hellworm in Fallen London finally, I am amused that the two items I have gotten the most from milking are beer (Magisterial Lager) and Poison (Vials of Cantigaster Venom) with 6 of each.

The winds are wild, the lacre deep.
The snarling stones arise from sleep.
The Fifth's tales may exalt the suns
but never hope to halt what comes.

To all Fallen London players: thank you for everything this year. From the roleplaying game taking a tangible step towards materiality with the Kickstarter in February, right up to the collective efforts to burnish our wilting tree, we're so grateful that you're still enjoying the old beast.

Fallen London support responses will be minimal over the winter period. Expect normal service to resume from the 5th of January. Thank you for your understanding and patience.

These are starting to arrive with people and I'd like to ask you to open them carefully and tell me if you spot the Easter egg 😈
Thank you to everyone who's picked up the new Fallen London merch! The presale on the Arcana and the new Mysterious and Indistinct t-shirt will be open for a while, and it's going to help us be prudent in how many of these things we make. There will be some stock, too.

There's danger in the dark, but at least we're giving you a lantern.

Fallen London downtime will start in ten minutes or so.
For the half an hour it'll be unavailable, why not enjoy the trappings of the Surface? There must be a real horizon you could gaze at. The wind on your face, etc?

I think my favorite in this category is a tumblr post about FL’s coy attitude towards cannibalism that broke containment and several people in the notes wondered why cannibals in Florida “have poor table manners”.

Last personal comm of the year for a very talented Fallen London fanwriter! I had a blast figuring out the worst assembled skeleton in the world. To the proprietors credit, he lacks personal experience with the anatomy
