I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

No takers for my Reverse Mrs Doubtfire screenplay in which an elderly Scottish woman pretends to be fast-talking improvisational stand-up Robin Williams.

Imperial Diplomacy is at Carnage!
It's the first time this giant 25-player variant has been played in person over a board. And when I say giant I mean it - it's 9 meters lengthways!
Very sad I couldn't be there but I'll be following the commentary - will link that when it's up

Excited to share that my first published game design has been officially announced!!
Diplomacy: The Golden Blade card game is a new twist on the classic. Plays 2-7 and ~15 minutes per player but keeps a lot of the backstabbing fun!!

#LEGO #Diplomacy board. Over 21,000 pieces. So large it's split into six sections underneath the map.

To the 20 other people who stuck with Genius Game UK through episode 7, I made an Extreme Ways edit for the reveal of Ken's move since there was finally a moment deserving of the song

So incredibly happy that #GeniusGameUK is airing - it might be too niche to be a hit here but man it's exactly my kind of show. And they seem to be sticking pretty close to the Korean version!
My early winner pick is Amanfi, feels like he's doing a great job on the social side.

I'm over the moon with how much enthusiasm there's been for the variant design contest; I think it's really acted like a game jam or Nanowrimo in encouraging people to bring their ideas to life.
Creating a video that'll do 40+ variants justice is going to be one heck of an undertaking though.

I really love sharing something non-diplomacy related and getting these comments.
Diplomacy will always be my focus for the channel, but there's so much that really appeals to me as Diplomacy-adjacent, and it's awesome to see that it appeals to other Dip players too

Something I'd never thought about until I saw this (really good) comment - as per 5D Diplomacy mechanics, the original timeline will never have any evidence of their technology's success. To them, anyone who attempts to time travel just vanishes forever.
Fun to think about from a story perspective.

It took. So. Long.
But we've now got the full 5D game fully sandboxed for commentary!
