Finally, this TITANIC news is out, and I'm proud to say I'm the lead designer of the game. It's an incredible honor and privilege to be part of this adventure.

"Wishlist quality" is a handy shorthand that implies:
1) Some sources are lower quality
2) Some wishlisters (people) are less committed
But really it's all about YOUR GAME. Some games will get more "hell yeah" wishlists than others. Some games have a more attractive launch offering.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

I have some free time in my schedule between now and December. I'm renewing my invitation to anyone with a game design resume or portfolio to review: feel free to contact me. Of course, I'm doing this for free.
And if you are not directly interested, feel free to spread the word. #indiegame #gamedev

I made a "barebones" version of Cairn. Sort of. It's the 2e rules but with swingy and random character generation (no tables, no implied setting). I'm still tweaking it a lot so expect some changes.
It's SRD only now, but here you go I guess.

So, I'm thinking a lot about how a horror is different than a fantasy-action, and about failing a roll.
Why does rolling badly mean failing an action? How can this add tension to the game? I have no answer :D
For Eye of Leviathan, I drafted this, pushing on the costs and consequences of the actions.

So the artist, the visionary, the one who points the way for the video game industry, is actually someone who's afraid to take a stand and is cringing at the controversy raised by Turkey? I wonder why I'm not surprised.

You don't need gen AI, not even if you're not an artist. I'm not an artist, but I wanted to make an illustration of a monster's eye... something like an "eldritch eye." I cannot do by scratch, so I downloaded free images, and mixed them until I got something I was happy with.
Here the result:

I honestly feel that out best defenses against toxic AI, and may other things, can be found in the disciplines of design. So much so that someone more conspiratorially minded might attribute some intent to the multi-decade attempt to crush the souls of its practitioners.

I'm not sure if I will ever use it in one of my hundreds of incomplete games, BUT I had fun trying this out.

Well, 100000000 in binary. But still, that's twice as many as 10000000, which, you must admit, is quite impressive.

Every Rob threat is a must to read.
Ok, so up front, this is a response to another post, but it's not intended as a sub-skeet. The original poster has disabled quote posting, and I am interpreting that as (very reasonably) looking to avoid internet drama and I want to respect that.
