Just had our first Mario Karty Party. The Switch 2 is gorgeous at split screen multiplayer, although the crab and bee look like they really don’t know how to drive a kart and have been put in their vehicles by some cruel kids.

Hire Lane to draw things for you, they’re fantastic!

i think about this old cohost post a lot but i've been thinking about it even more since i've been playing shin megami tensei games for the past six months

I'm limiting myself to posting ONE image of the complete Thunder Child a day. This counts right? Featuring a bunch of cool Tripod art by: - Kevin Castaniero @norrie.bsky.social @christiandibari.bsky.social @maxdavenportyo.com Warwick Fraser-Coombe kck.st/4kHvrMl

Of course Professor X finds a way to make Jubilee’s vampirism-based existential crisis an opportunity to make it all about him. #DailyXMen

Daredevil was pretty much banger after banger once Kevin Smith left the book. This run from Waid is possibly my favourite.

Shocking but true.

Don't let the term "rules lite" turn you off from trying new #TTRPG because you're anticipating a lot of work as the GM to make them happen. Many games with that description are either tightly focused on an a dominant aspect of gameplay, or have a broad general mechanic to be applied across...1/2

What are these two weirdos up to under the right stick?

Cosmic Dark has just under a fortnight to fund. To find out a little more about the game, I asked @grahamwalmsley.bsky.social with some questions. whodaresrolls.com/an-interview...

This is coming up in my marathon and that announcement gave me whiplash. The joy of seeing Gillen and the Dodsons, then the confusion about anyone wanting to ever use Breakworld again. #DailyXMen

Happy Switch 2 Day!

AI is Getting Worse, but It's Getting Worse

HUMAN ARTISTS, Use only one piece to convince people to follow you. Here's one of my favorite comic pages I've gotten to draw

Okay, fine, today I’ll find out why everyone’s so mad about Doctor Who (this time).

Happy TFTQ Update Day to all who celebrate.

I’m back home with my beloved. Expo was fun, but there’s always a sense of joy about returning to Brighton. It was nice to chat with folks, sad to have missed some interviews. Next up, recording Casual Trek and then a lot of Expo-based writing. #UKGE

The sudden realisation yesterday that I still have books from last UK Games Expo that I haven’t read. I will try not to doom the new ones to the same fate. #UKGE

UK Games Expo Streetpass hits! #UKGE

I walked into the Expo past this Midsummer Murders looking scene yesterday. This feels like it needs to be the intro to a Brindlewood Bay mystery. #UKGE

My expectations were through the roof when I heard @grahamwalmsley.bsky.social was making a sequel to Cthulhu Dark. I’ve now run Cosmic Dark a couple of times and am pleased to tell you that it does indeed rule. Here’s how: whodaresrolls.com/cosmic-dark-...

I attended a fun talk about folklore in TTRPGs and in general. @exstasisgames.bsky.social, @loottheroom.bsky.social, @voxparlour.bsky.social and @irny.bsky.social discussed whether folklore stops at cities, big cats, beautifully inconsistent stories, bone fires and more.

I heard the audible relief when someone sat down and was so envious of it. #UKGE

Something I adore about UK Games Expo is finding RPGs I’ve never heard of with some amazing pitches. @parablegames.bsky.social “Don’t Play This Game” and @1sickpuppystudio.bsky.social’s “Dimday_Red” made for some lovely surprises this morning. #UKGE

Such a shame I’ve not encountered this fundamentally unserious human being here at the Expo. As a man whose nonsense has touched me, my peers and even friends who backed his endlessly delayed project, I do feel it good to keep folks aware of who he is so they don’t collaborate with him.

War Rocket Ajax fans can probably guess what I thought this said when I took this character.

I’ve not stayed this close to the Expo before, it was nice seeing the place after dark and the pockets of people playing games through the evening. #UKGE

Time to post it again.

Giant-Size X-Men (Vol 3) Issue One is good fun. I’ve come to expect good stories from Lansing and Kelly. That said, I had to explain the format to my comic shop who were trying to order match each one-shot to previously-named AoA, House of M and so on, not realising it was a miniseries.

7pm BST TODAY! The crew of the Thunder Child have a date with destiny. Join @matthew-hardy.bsky.social Kevin Castaniero, @simongough2099.bsky.social & I as we witness the end! www.kickstarter.com/projects/153...

Do you think this hurts Mario when it happens? It looks like it’d be painful.

What’s the cover art that got you started in the TTRPG hobby? Here’s mine:

I’m reading Collision and Mike Carey’s brought back the Children of the Vault! Also Luz has been with the X-Men for an hour or two and already gets the assignment as far as messy drama goes. #DailyXMen.
