Hey remember all those articles about de-extinction? I have a game about it! Play portions of the last (first?) of a species as it lies dreaming in a lab. Relive your past life. Then escape!

the password to the louvre surveillance server was "louvre"

according to the liberation newspaper, documents dating back to a 2014 inspection by the French National Agency for the Security of Computer Systems reported a staggering detail: "the password of the louvre's video surveillance server was simply " louvre. "

I've been glad to hear that folks have enjoyed this interview. My favorite parts, personally, were Thomas's questions about the differences between solo RPGs and puzzles. And I have been thinking about these questions nonstop since the interview.

I really enjoyed the latest episode of Yes Indie'd from @newmadras.bsky.social interviewing @backwardsttrpg.bsky.social

The conversation on anchors was particularly interesting, I think it's a good framework to look at ttrpg mechanics through

Ithaca in the Cards: Second Expedition is a storygame about doomed travelers on a perilous journey home. It's inspired by The Odyssey, and blackjack, and it's about how you deal with loss and the vagaries of fate as you desperately reach for home.

It is not every day that your game is called "the best TTRPG I've read or played all year," much less by one of the best reviewers out there.

I know I've asked a lot recently, but I'd be additionally grateful if you would help me share this review.

Spine is probably the best TTRPG I've read or played all year, and — unbelievably — it's a solo TTRPG. Find out how this remarkable piece of work changed me, even as I changed it! idlecartulary.com/2025/10/30/i...

I Read Spine

I Read Games reviews are me reading games when I have nothing better to do, like read a module or write or play a game. I don’t seriously believe that I can judge a game without playing it, usually…

My short story 'we find stories in the columns of light' is another fairly nerdy piece of spec-fic inspired by ham radios, camping and cyberdecks.

The Jays and Dodgers will break for Christmas Eve to share a drink in no man’s land, show each other photos of the family they left back home, before heading back to their respective trenches.

What we're witnessing with #Melissa is ultra rare in the history of known hurricanes in the Atlantic. This level of sustained intensity and feasting on every joule of ocean heat content without any real disruption is incredible.

Not hyperbole: Jamaica is facing a generational catastrophic event.
