I just played Amazing Tales with my kid and it got weird quickly. Also a bit squicky with all those references to needles and sharp points (kid got vaccinated last night and that bled into the game). I'd still say it's one of the best TTRPG for kids, because... (1/2)

An interview with @montro.bsky.social, who led the Japanese-language localization of MÖRK BORG by @nohr.se and Stockholm Kartell, talking about all the the ways you can push design to translate graphically and grammatically.
Localizing MÖRK BORG required a deft hand and a dedication to the details
An interview with Malstrom’s Montro on translation, new fonts, and how to create an aesthetic.

Going to Finland at the end of the month, so if you have any gaming related recommendations... (also not sure if I should learn even a single word because their English will probably be excellent anyways. yes, collective they)

I especially like the localization of the title/ logo there.

Picture Monday: busy week, because I finally finished producing an episode (yeah, this podcast is a one person show) and started editing the next one, also this weekend we went to the old shoe factory with their iconic d20 lamps.

Good I am not in Lisbon right now because I would spend sooo much money at that booth. But related to that, I finally started editing the interviews for that other Portuguese speaking country (yes, I know there is more than two, my cousin works in Mozambique)

My kid just accidentally said "Jurassic Pony" and that sounds like a mash up that needs to be made.

Hey I usually don't teaser upcoming episodes much because I rather want to get things done, but after a three month break - I finally got Episode 23 ready and I'm now proofing it. I interviewed people who worked on a bunch of games in this Humble Bundle: www.humblebundle.com/books/magpie...

Picture Monday: only three or four people on this planet will understand this.

Since it's obligatory these days, here's a picture I took in July 2023. It's titled "reconnoitre", to use a French term.

Picture Monday: most disappointing sword shop ever

I have to say, regardless of your feelings towards WOTC and D&D (and I really don't care much for the game), that "gay D&D" image is an amazing litmus test. I've blocked so many homophobes on FB and Twitter over their reactions.
October 19, 2025 at 9:31 PM
I just found out this exists and it's so far out it could even be... no it's probably not good.

Kickstarter and Backerkit gives you automatic share to Bluesky options, but I guess I gotta do a screen share for Gamefound. Was a bit on the fence about this game, but then one of the few reviews started a long section about House of Leaves and I was sooo in.

You might ask yourself why there's no new episode. I've just been swarmed with work and needed to priorize family and rest over editing. In the meanwhile, some relevant games for Episode 23 are in this bundle: www.humblebundle.com/books/magpie...

Exhausted after reading 35 pages of Wizard of Oz with different character voices to my kid.

Had my first dream about this podcast. Was visiting some small towns in Germany (will actually do in November) and ended up in Bucharest, where I found two zines from Romania and Bulgaria in English. Unfortunately I only remember one of them, and only that it had a really convoluted dice mechanism
