Teaching thing I find useful: if a student stops showing up for class, make the subject line of your email "Is everything OK?" When people are overwhelmed they'll often avoid even opening bad-news emails (cf. me & my bank statements). This way, they know I'm reaching out to help, not chastise.

After a pause, we are once again accepting pitches for games.
If you've designed a TTRPG (especially one built on PbtA, Forged in the Dark, or Fate) that's near-complete, you can find details about how to pitch us (and the services we provide) here:

Been following this and it’s wild to compare the global aspect of how an obvious scumbag can be given enough power to hold an industry hostage. This guy has a long history of being a misogynist at best, so to see it escalate into this shouldn’t be too surprising to those who pay attention.
BREAKING: ANGOULÊME 2026 cancelled, Bondoux defiant
Angoulême 2026 cannot go ahead. In a message from his lawyers, Franck Bondoux places the blame for the festival’s cancellation entirely on public funders, and demands to have his company 9e Art+ remain as festival organiser for the 2027 event

Listen, I have pretty high standards but damn, does CBT+PNK exceed them. This is one of the best physical products in the TTRPG world, like... Ever. Great, concise rules, and amazing vibe, sure, but again - the product. Art, layouts, package design, all the small details. Just absolutely stunning.
If you have something cool to say about CBR+PNK, *please* do it as a review on this page.
That would help a lot fighting against a couple of misguided "reviews" the game has received.

While it's true you can't fully trust player opinions on balance for this reason, devs in charge of game tuning must also realize that data lies too.
Balance isnt real. Only the perception of balance is. It's all vibes. Balance isnt a viable OR desirable goal. You want fun, variety, and retention.

One of the producers on Guilty Gear Strive said it was basically impossible to source player feedback on balance changes online because nobody had original opinions and would just parrot what the most popular content creators said and so they had to rely on data and I think about that every day.

Great thread and investigation. Exactly what we all assumed: the ‘confidential information’ was wages and work conditions discussed in a worker-only Discord, not leaking anything about the game. Pure union busting.
EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".
PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made.

We did something different with the credits for Demonschool. We used this format: name, title, lengthy description of what they did. Often you see credits in games where you don't know what the credited developer was actually responsible for. We wanted to give people proper, actual credit.

If you are paying an invoice to a nsfw artist, do NOT mention NSFW in any way, keep it blank even. you risk both your account and the artists.
