Forget Starlight is being printed by Shane at Grub Grub Press who did a killer job and is absolutely delightful, helpful, and professional. If you are working on an upcoming TTRPG please consider working with them instead of any of this horseshit. grubgrub.press

and here's the game! you can pick up a copy from the Bathers Library table at the book fair or order online. tinyurl.com/3ctm8m27

excited to do a performance of air light water moon shadow sky this Saturday at the SF Art Book Fair. recorded excerpts of sessions from the game (a collaborative game of narrative generation inspired by experimental film, dream logic, and other omens) with live synth. sfartbookfair.com/Programming

For the summer issue of Bookforum, I wrote about the life and work of the painter Celeste Dupuy-Spencer, who died in April. www.bookforum.com/print/3301/p...

Would you like to contribute an OBJECT to live in a WAREHOUSE GAME? I'm working on a parser fiction game where you play as a worker in the warehouse of the gods- sorting, storing, rearranging objects, meandering. I need so many objects! Maybe even: one of yours? docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

immediately started thinking "wait, I really like dune imperium uprising - what's the board game equivalent for BotNS" and realized a minute later that I was just re-inventing COMMONWEALTH modality.itch.io/commonwealth

it is really something special. appreciate you pointing out how it handles children; that was an aspect that really landed with me upon a replay (and I later wrote about) www.crossplay.news/p/pentiment-...

Perfect Tides: Station to Station is just 5 reviews away from 200! If you've recently played it during the sale, a review (of any length!) would be a big help re: platform visibility. store.steampowered.com/app/2088810/...

Which should be soon! It will be available digitally directly via enceledean.itch.io/forget-starl... and also in an initial print run of ~200 lovingly run off by grubgrub.press and published via a new small imprint I'm starting up.

Forget Starlight is modular game that is as much about Courtiers, Disavowed Assassins, and Emblazoned Gun Nurses as it is about how we generate stories by finding a throughline when faced with ever-shifting locations and circumstances. Truly something special, can't wait for folks to check it out.

@danielleri.bsky.social you are here too!

Shoutout to @litvac.com for letting me know one of my posts showed up in a Narrascope talk. AND I STILL STAND BY IT. WE LOVE YOU EDITORS. 🩷

Streaming right now on YouTube: the Game Workers Conference, "an entirely new game industry event made by and for the countless workers who make this massively influential industry and artistic medium succeed." www.youtube.com/live/CFF97Oj...

I'm so excited for my upcoming NarraScope talk with Marissa Koors @criticalkitten.bsky.social. It articulates a lot of my thoughts about the role of editors in game dev and the benefits of fostering an "editorial culture" in the industry. narrascope.org/schedule/#we...

Perfect Tides: Station to Station comes out today on Switch! I'm very proud of what Edmundo and I have accomplished getting this AGS adventure to console, and I can't wait for more people to play it.

Finally wrote about Perfect Tides: Station to Station, far and away the best game I’ve played this year.

Here's a post on my blog w/all relevant links to the Perfect Tides: Station to Station Switch release + Steam discount, plus a small Q+A about how this relates to PT1: meredithgran.com/perfect-tide...

Amberspire is a city builder that understands "city" through a narrative assemblage of historical fragments informing & enriching architecture, population, and challenges. Place, in all its wooly facets, is beautifully realized and feels so far removed from any tabula rasa infrastructure simulator.
