Sky Bear Games

That’s right! I am stoked to announce that the award-winning Wonderland Nights: White Rabbit’s Diary is out on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and 5, and XBox One, thanks to publishers Ratalaika Games. It’s been great working with them to see this come to fruition. So… I dunno, buy the game or whatever 😛😘🐇

Thought I might cover my (sometimes our) thoughts on the D&D OGL situation, in more depth than I did the other day, since more stuff has come out. It’s mostly what I said the other day, but has more details and also covers how we personally feel too.

Our reaction to the changes to the OGL

Hey all, so there’s a lot going on over the RPG fan interwebs right now about Hasbro/WOTC’s changes to the OGL. There’s a lot of misinformation, a lot of people without legal training making comment, but like… this is a sign of things to come, no matter where you fall on this issue. Here’s the message I posted today on itch.io to everyone who has ever bought our Dragons of Tirenia guidebook,…

ChoiceBeat Issue #6 is out!

Hey! It’s been a while, and I have been super busy, but I thought I should help boost ChoiceBeat Issue #6, even though I haven’t contributed anything this time. Hopefully I can write something for the next issue! Anyway, this looks like a pretty exciting line up of games, with quite a few I’ve been interested in trying out. Hope everyone is having a happy holiday season. Happy New…

The most play I have ever gotten on Steam and Twitter :D

Hello SBG followers, I just thought I might let you in on what’s happening to me over on Steam and Twitter. This is kinda the most I have ever been rewteeted yet, and the most sales my games have ever made so… kinda exciting if you can’t tell. Below is the tweet thread that’s getting me noticed, and if you want to come tweet at me to add to the conversation you can find it here:…

Dirwin: House of the Rising Sun, Part Three

Down the Grey Stream Path, we find ourselves at the Ascension Drinking Hall. It looks almost like a temple, with its columned facade. A mottled-skinned gith in a frock coat and bearded moustache, named Heironymus, is the bouncer. He bars our entry since we do not have anyone to vouch for us, and takes out his flute to practice, ignoring us. Even reminding him that someone obviously got into…

Dirwin: House of the Rising Sun, Part Two

Just to keep her informed, I send a raven with a message to Narcovi. Wouldn’t do to not keep her informed after promising to do so. Then it’s off to the library to see the fourth murder location. On our way, we see a cultist wearing a Lady of Pain-style headdress getting beaten up by some rough cutters. I polymorph the guy into a ladybug to hide him, and Blander casts some sort of paladin whammy…

Dirwin: House of the Rising Sun, Part One

This is the first episode of Dirwin participating in the adventure “Harbinger House”. On my return to Sigil, I saw many diverse people, as is always the case; a morbid-looking leprechaun follower of the Morrigan, an orc with a tray of food he was selling, a Doomguard preaching decay, and four deibus, the groundskeepers and messengers of the Lady of Pain, painting a house blue. What was strange…

ChoiceBeat Issue 4 out now!

I’ve contributed again to the fourth issue of the ChoiceBeat zine with just one article this time, on a lovely little gem of a game called “The Lost Oregon City Gold”. Also, “Her Jentle Hi-ness” gets a write-up and a giveaway, so check it out! https://choicebeat.wordpress.com/issues/

Nominated for awards! (isn’t Impostor Syndrome ridiculous?)

Hey! Her Jentle Hi-ness was nominated for two awards at the Pavs this year, the one for Excellence in Narrative Design and the one for Excellence in Representation. This news comes to you two days late because of impostor syndrome 😀 how ridiculous, right? I’m absolutely thrilled to be a part of the Pavs line-up again, and with an amazing cohort which you can check out here:…

OMG, I’m in Indiepocalypse #28!

So I have been keeping a few awesome little pieces of news close to my chest lately, and the first of these that I can announce is that Nine Lives of Nim is in Indiepocalypse Issue #28. This is an amazing initiative where every dev contributing to the zine gets a cut of the sales, which is just like… honestly just such an amazing thing when you are an unknown indie dev. So if you hop on over…

Indie Game Showcase 2022 – 21st May!

Hey all, I’ve just got the word that I have been accepted to the Indie Game Showcase this Saturday 21st of May at GridAKL. You can get tickets completely FREE here: https://events.humanitix.com/indie-game-showcase-2022 . Come check out the works of brilliant local talent! I had so much fun last year when I presented an early version of Her Jentle Hi-ness. I got to try out a bunch of fun games…

At Tessa’s instruction, Buddy and I traveled to Sylvania, the gatetown to Arborea, and came early to get a room before the modrons arrived. I should have guessed at what I was about to see, but nothing I could have imagined would compare to what I saw: Sylvania was Party Town! There were satyrs drinking, a djinn with a giggling hookah, a pool full of bullywugs, and so much more. Unique buildings…

Even if you've never read my blog posts before, you might want to read this one.

Even if you’ve never read my blog posts before, you might want to read this one. Trigger warning: Suicidal /self-harm ideation, anxiety disorder. (Also like, super middle class privilege, good god…) This has been a long time coming, and I have been wrestling with how to say these things for close to three months now. I even considered going to an indie games festival and giving this as a talk,…
