RNG vs Skill is a false dichotomy. There's so much more to talk about when it comes to RNG in games, and my third article for @wayward.bsky.social 's blog discusses exactly that. waywardstrategy.com/2025/03/03/r... Take a look, tell me what you think!

Because there’s been some confusion; all of our presenters have been selected already for this event, but you can apply for the next one via a link on the meetup page. Also please don’t come unless you RSVP as space is limited!

i have been asked "what are cool tech/art/games spaces in NYC" a lot; today I made a big triangle (and a blog) to answer that question lmk what i've missed!! (all the places are great, placement on triangle is just my impression of vibes) blog with details: eieio.games/blog/the-nyc...

This is a bit of a late post but I recently played the phenomenal Quadrilateral Cowboy and through @gumbonyc.bsky.social got the chance to ask Mr Chung himself a few questions about it. Really excellent and inspirational game, you should all play it 😁

If ya haven’t played Betrayal at Club Low, it’s cheap during the Steam Winter Sale and one of the best RPG designs I think that’s ever been conceived and shipped Just a DELIGHT. Can’t believe it took me this long to get to it. store.steampowered.com/app/1885750/...
