Had a really good few hours today with @davidjmortimer.bsky.social, playtesting this game of mine and one of his. Both are starting to feel like they are solid games - still work to do, but I think both are solidly in the last 90% of development. 🎲✂️

Here's something I found interesting: a knitter who is also a digital game designer musing on the meaning of the word "fun" and what would be a better term... www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEFC...
Great article from @spookysyntax.bsky.social. Seeing these anti-AI signs around UKGE was heartening, but it shouldn't even be a question. AI slop took up valuable space at the con, and punter's money that could have gone to real creators went to this crap instead.
MCM, Dragonmeet, and DragonCon take a stance against AI, but the UK’s biggest board game con stays silent - despite pushback from attendees.

I've been researching #UKGE RPG safety procedures for an upcoming video.
If you've GMed or played an event in the last two years I'd really like to ask you a couple of questions re. your experience.
Feel free to DM or email anonymously :)

Without even getting into the ethics of AI art in general, I can tell you that it's a bad idea to put placeholder AI art in your board game prototype you're pitching to publishers. You're trying to sell them a playable game framework, not art direct their final product for them.

Does anyone working in the indie ttrpg space have a working theory for why the standard of writing is... pretty high? I've always been struck by how often the imagination, stylistic chops & effort are, on average, solid or better. That's not been my experience in, say, indie fiction or poetry.
