i did not think i had anger to spare this week, but the thought of raiding Portland's democratically created climate fund to give a cut to a sports team owning billionaire is making me realize otherwise.

Other than that eternally-relevant advice: we’re entering a period of standardization, where AI-generated outcomes mostly just reinforce existing creative norms. To develop a career that subverts this it’s in your interest to be a sicko, making work for other sickos.

Among other things, I was asked to give advice to young designers www.softlabor.biz/the-soft-lab...

What is the most rewarding aspect of working in your industry? The most challenging?

The most rewarding aspect of working in my industry is learning about everyone else’s, because you can’t design something you don’t understand. The most challenging aspect is that sometimes those industries are dreadful.

There's a Q&A with me in the latest Soft Labor, a newsletter on creative labor. It covers some thoughts on AI, advice for young designers, and only a tangential mention of games because that's not actually what I'm known for, even if it's all I want to talk about www.softlabor.biz/the-soft-lab...

Huge day for coilbound rpg partisans, huge huge day. I’ve been on this beat for ages and I’ll never stop, coilbound is the correct binding for reference manuals absent affordable true lay-flat binding and subject to some caveats regarding size and page length, whoooo!! Get pumped

It feels like the energy in games post-lockdown has been on short form games, but I'm also really only here for the committed campaigns full of character development and surprises (β†’ Realis). My children (6, 12) are old enough now to look after themselves at night, let's gooo
