So in a letter Tolkien said that LotR ended about 6,000 years before the modern day, and the genes for white skin didn't appear until around 7,000 years ago... which means that if you wanted to be a stickler for "accuracy," Rings of Power should have zero white people.
it has some Gray Encoding feels to it, but it's not Gray

Big news! 🎉
My second Gaelic horror game Grease Trap ’99 just got funding from Creative Scotland’s Open Fund!
Retro PS1-style horror set in a Scottish chippy. Fully voice-acted in Gaelic. You’re frying fish, making curry sauce, taking orders… while something malevolent grows beneath the surface 👀🐟

The Weight is Right! is our submission to Duck Sauce Jam 2026. 80s arcade-style puzzle game, coded in 10 hours.

I'm at a 40 hours game jam and after the first 22 hours we had to scrap the multiplayer prototype. So at 5pm I put on Ghosts I-VI, tweaked the design, and after 5 hours I'm almost done. Except for scoring and a bit of deterministic procedural generation I'm done.

Hive Mind, I need help.
The new grimoire is about exorcists and demon hunters.
I was thinking something like:
Scourge of the Otherworld
On Hounding the Fiends Away
or even something basic as
Spirit Slaying Primer
I printed it and stuck self-adhesive copper tape to it. There's copper tape with conductive adhesive so you can add multiple overlapping pieces and it counts as one conductive surface. Then I used the second part of the mold to shape the copper, so that it sticks inside the recessed traces. Then I used sandpaper to file away at the raised ridges. The copper traces are now electrically independent of each other. Done! But if I want, I can remove the extra copper tape.
The companion mold at the bottom. This second 3D-printed part pushes the copper tape down into the recessed trace channels so it conforms to the shape. The two parts sandwich together with alignment spikes to keep everything registered.

I made a tool that turns PCB designs into 3D-printable molds. you sandwich copper tape between the parts, sand the ridges, and you have a real working PCB. no etching, no chemicals. I am losing my mind

you missed the AD&D Lankhmar starter set
I hope the Gang rescues fair Ghita and young Riccardino, kidnapped by the goons of the evil wizard and famed hydrotherapist Sebino, and brings them to safety back home to Battista the Fowler. /fin
The names of the PCs were picked at random from the list of the first 100 popes. /
For our tastes combat drags on for too long. I migth divide HP by four; this puts the average beginner PC's HP at 12, which is a couple of sword strikes, or the average of a twhander fell swoop. Armour reduces damage up to 4 (plate+shield), it's not uncommon for starter characters to get armour. /
We played it RAW. An interesting mechanic: ten minutes at the table (not counting fights and breaks) is one hour in the game world. This creates an interesting time pressure. Also, you get 4 XP for every day you are in this strange world. That's 1 XP per hour at the table, plus xp for travel times /
The game ran well, very good vibes, the adventure was as weird as expected, and the gang was initially a bit weirded out by the avatarism (you play yourself in a collective dream), but eventually took it in stride and went off to adventure. /
it's banging!
but the artist apparently hates it, and it has nothing to do with the game
Last night we played Kata Kumbas instead of Stonehell. KK is my first RPG, dating back from 1990; despite trying, I only managed to play one session oin the nineties, and then nothing. 🧵
