ZERO PREP by salubriousbrew
Style of TTRPG that puts prep fuly into the player's hands.
salubriousbrew.itch.io
I just released a document a style of play where the Game Master does no prep for the session. Instead this is a guide for the Players to do all the prep.
It's an improv exercise, a design experiment, a bit of a goof, but not a complete joke.
Check it out! Thanks!

Recently picked up a couple of #C64 games from #Psytronik on itch.io and have to say....the Queen needs to chill about her missing diamonds okay. I tried to rescue her after freeing the three musketeers but noooo she needs ALL of her diamonds. Being serious I'm having a great time with these though

Mario 65 is a fun little Mario fan game that recreates the classic Mario 64 intro screen, but with Mario a little older and worse for wear.

Had a chat with Genndy Tartakovsky about how his idea to make Primal's third season about zombies came to be, his grassroots effort to get Black Knight greenlit, and why he wants the future of the animation industry to be driven by bold original works instead of legacy sequels, franchises, and AI.
![Tartakovsky says it's especially complicated for bigwig business execs to greenlight original animated features, in part because studios are making fewer and fewer movies theatrically. In an era defined by legacy sequels and franchise building, Tartakovsky hopes the animation industry shifts to allow bold, original concepts to spearhead the media's direction in the next decade.
“I don’t want the world to be IP-driven with just twos and threes,” Tartakovsky said. “Before Zootopia 2, there was Zootopia. Before Toy Story one through five, there was one Toy Story. Despicable Me: all these things were original and inspired giant, multi-billion-dollar franchises. So why have we given up on those [originals]?”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vy6xpujujv3lmlrwuhplzq2q/bafkreigxna7zaldbtiv4qnzc75lusfnpe5dz5qpnkpkxu4brz2go3mfd5e@jpeg)

It's very easy:
Just don't. The idea that Copilot or ChatGPT are suddenly essential tools is just buying into the corporate ad blitz.
Games were made just fine (well, relatively) up through...what, 2023? 2024? They didn't suddenly become VITAL for budgets or design docs in the last 2-3 years.

Sometimes you need to make a weird freak OC loosely based on a commedia dell'arte archetype, as a treat.

Unsurprisingly, the best games of 2025 came from the fringes of the industry. Here's what The A.V. Club's games critics loved the most this year.

I keep coming back to these tarot inspired mechs because I had so much fun designing them and thinking about the world they are from.
I think I'm going to try and make a game about them. That way I can have my friends pilot their own make-believe-cool-robot assigned by fate.

Amidst all the recent talk, Larian's AI use, general LLM and GenAI stuff, I have been thinking about David Lynch saying how the work is the talking. The work is the Thing.
As an artist, a form of conversation is you making a thing and giving it to another for them to interpret and interface with.

the thing that drives me insane about genAI/chatgpt bullshit is that brother, the process IS the work IS the entire thing. no artist comes to art for the final result. the final result is inextricable from the fucking labor that came into making it

Most of us did not choose to write or draw or design so that we could put products on the shelf. We chose to do it because it’s a set of skills we enjoy exercising, that give us fulfillment.
It’s like asking a pro pitcher to just let a machine pitch for them. Fuck off and give me the ball.
