Fantastic palaeoart in a traditional Chinese style, used as a figure in a Royal Society publication, describing a false sabre-tooth feline, Taotienimravus songi. I hope this buckles the trend again "stylised" art in publications and press releases.

My favourite thing I heard of like this is a debugging feature in Alien Isolation where instead of hissing the Alien states aloud what it's thinking about.
"I heard you. I am hunting you. I am hunting you. I am hunting you. I have found you."

As much as I love buff badass lesbian Samus, I also really love the version of her from that one Super Metroid gag manga where she's this weirdo obsessed with round objects and hiding in small spaces

Another peek at Shadowrun in Japan, this time from the mid-90s, with artwork from the Entangled Betrayal scenario.
This artwork is a fair bit less cutesy than that of the SR manga I previously shared, but still has those unmistakable anime vibes.

5E gets called rules light which is when I realized the phrase doesn't mean anything outside of very specific conversations where participants are familiar with everyone else's preferences. In some circles, GURPS Lite is rules light, which is a laughable statement in other circles
But also I loathe “rules light” as a term because it tells me nothing useful
The same term is used to mean “a very few, extremely precise rules deployed very strictly for immense effect” and “idk man it’s improv-driven consensus loosey-goose pure roleplaying magic, it’s so cool”.

Made a series of squad insignias back when I was working on Solstice Rain. Many Union squads are named after alcoholic drinks. This Sagarmatha is from Squad Highball, a ThirdComm unit formed from the remnants of Squad Whisky, a SecComm era unit that was almost completely destroyed in the civil war.

writing an important and tense point of character decision making into the game only to have people dismiss the empathetic option as pointless, thereby completely affirming the entire point of this decision being in the game.

Why am I so against generative AI in games?
Because I simply do not want my initial reaction to art to be one of suspicion and scrutiny, AI slop is fundamentally damaging my relationship to art and artistry, and I am deeply resentful that it is forcing me to be guarded when I should be wowed.

The cynic in me thinks that mechanical design has little impact on the success of an rpg. The vast majority of consumers don't actually care about mechanics because they just arent very marketable. The things that sell games are:
- recognisable branding
- nice art
- social capital
