“High Tide is a strategic stacking game for 2 players. Cover your opponents pieces, only being allowed to move up! Each set is hand painted and stamped by the designer. There will be 20 sets available for purchase.” More info on the event here: www.newmillindustries.com/ignm

This is still very much a work-in-progress, but @msoucy.gay has started throwing around some pretty cool ideas for an RPG set on the generation ship in ExoShip... ... so of course I had to make a cover:

The Winter Rabbit Kickstarter campaign is officially live. We need $20,000 to make the game happen, and once we fund, we have a bunch of stretch goals lined up to improve the quality of the components to deluxify the game. Let’s make it happen. www.kickstarter.com/projects/941...

"The problem (AI) is solving is that greedy people want their money. That's the problem. The CEOs are like 'What if we could get drawings without paying an artist? ...scripts without paying a writer? ...music without paying a musician?' It's solving a problem for like 8 people."

EXCUSE ME COULD YOU REPEAT THAT PLEASE

there really aren't words to express how much contempt i have for "generative ai" from the clear intention to replace creative jobs with a cheap algorithm to the theft necessary to train them to the climate effects to the enshittification of previously useful tools. literally nothing good about it.

Marcy is a rockstar board game designer and developer. If anyone has, or knows of, an opportunity for her... she would be massive benefit for any team.
Sad to announce I’m no longer working at Underdog Games, who gave me a positive and generous farewell. My personal skills have accelerated two-fold working at a publisher—and I want to do more. If you have any offers or leads on design/development work, I’m open for business!! 🎲✂️

Clarifying this one a little because it could be easily taken to have like an Ayn Rand message. I don't mean this. I mean that all your life people will be telling you who you are. And you'll be miserable living up to those expectations. Once you choose to be the person you want, shit gets better.
