Really enjoying my games of Dewan on BGA (still in alpha). It's got the ideal turn weight and game state complexity for an asynchronous game for me.

Citizen Sleeper 1 & 2 are on sale on Steam. These are two great science-fiction RPGS. The second one came out so early in the year that it's missed out on the game-of-the-year discourse but it should be in the conversation. store.steampowered.com/curator/3302...

If those orphans didn’t want to be crushed they should’ve just opted out of the Orphan Crusher program.
The Orphan Crusher is here to stay. If we don’t feed more Orphans to the Crusher the Orphan Crushing industry will die. It’s time to wake up to the reality of the Orphan Crusher. The Orphan Crusher is worth billions. We need to teach people to use the Orphan Crusher. It’s here to stay.

The best way to honor Charlie's memory is to continue his work: engage with each other, across ideology, through spirited discourse. In a democracy, ideas are tested through words and good-faith debate — never through violence.

I feel like I'm about a 6/10 at game design and a 1/10 at communicating with publishers to sell those designs.

Finished Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream. Another great video game this year from a small studio, this time an isometric stealth game with the feel of a puzzle game and great characters.

This part of the Harry Potter Codenames debacle seems to have mostly flown underneath the radar of the Anglophone boardgame world, probably because the localised version is not (yet) listed on BGG. As far as I can tell IELLO still hasn't commented. ludovox.fr/produire-ven...
