Occasional TTRPG designer. Secondary author of The Dungeon World Guide. I have Opinions on tabletop gaming.
The YouTube algorithm recommended me a video without a title from a channel that also somehow manages to hide its channel name in the thumbnail. There's about 20 videos here with no titles. Most of them are minute-long slightly distorted music over grainy footage. Did I stumble across a new ARG?
Someone on Reddit posted a collection of unproduced DC movie scripts and I cannot overstate how *abysmally bad* the 1999 "New Gods" script by Kirk "The Croods" DeMicco is. This is what Darkseid has instead of his goal being seeking out the Anti-Life Equation.
Claremont-era X-Men. I don't remember exactly which issue was my first one, but the earliest one I distinctly *remember* reading was issue 150; "I, Magneto!"
I love timeline synergy that only I and a few other people would find funny.
If I may add one more: "Don't Make Me Think!" by Steve Krug is a great book about usability and interface design. It's about web and (now) mobile design, but the ideas in there can apply to anything you make that someone else needs to use.
These arrived last week from @ndpdesign.com Now to sit down and read these and not design anything!
Seriously it's the mental equivalent of the "Here's what happens when all your medical conditions try to get through the door at once" gag from The Simpsons. Every critical thought you have tries to run to the front of your brain at once.
You can't tell me you don't want to see a live-action little kid in a Wolverine costume saying "Golly gumbuckets!"
I'm not going to talk too much about the basic mechanics apart from saying it's based mainly around getting worker cards to generate resources and meeples, then spending said resources and meeples to build structures, complete parts of the canal, and fight barbarians.
I particularly love this book: a small 32 page not-Planescape type setting that can be used in most dungeon fantasy games, just slightly larger than a deck of cards. Also it's based around a living city that absorbs other cities in the multiverse into itself, which is EXTREMELY my jam.
I found these while cleaning my apartment; I actually forgot this whole format existed. I really love compact design, it's a shame this small digest format kind of died out after the early heights of Dungeon World.
Started working on my movie backlog tonight with Godzilla Minus One, and holy SHIT what a phenomenal movie. I never thought I'd be *this* scared, or even brought almost to tears, by a Godzilla movie but goddamn.
