I can't remember if I did an intro post, so here's another one for the new followers!

I'm Joe, Director of Communications at @hoodedhorse.bsky.social - we publish games with strategic and tactical depth. I'm the "PR guy" but I do a few marketing things, and I'm ex-games press. Here's me in a suit.

Out of everything I've done since joining @hoodedhorse.bsky.social, getting Olden Era on the cover of @pcgamer.com is the closest I've come to having a "made it" moment, and i'm over the moon. Thanks to @robertnjones.bsky.social for the op and GG to the Unfrozen team. Great stuff!

The cinematic trailer for Menace is brutal and gorgeous - created in partnership with Syama Pedersen (Warhammer 40K fan video “Astartes”, and contributor on Amazon’s Secret Level).

NGL lads Gauntlet mode in BF6 is dope. One of the most refreshing modes since extraction became a thing. I just wish BF6 had given extraction another go as while RedSec is fine BR isn't always my speed. But then I tried Gauntlet and it stole the show for me.

Against the Storm has consistently featured in @pcgamer.com's "Best PC Games" coverage, one way or another. A testament to how genuinely great this team and this game is, and I'm humbled that I get to help them achieve their dreams.
We can’t stress enough what an honor it is to see Against the Storm included in PC Gamer’s Top 100 Games list 😌

We’re grateful to the @pcgamer.com team for this recognition, and to our players for helping us shape a game worth playing!

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

Are there any editors taking tabletop pitches these days? It’s been a minute since I’ve done freelance tabletop coverage so I wanted to see if followers had a pulse on what’s out there. I have a great idea for a Pokemon TCG story that I need to find a home for. 😈
