Nate Crowley of RPS has a wonderful running story on the Basement of Curiosity. I think the best thing about this is Nate writes it in a way that everyone can enjoy regardless of Dwarf Fortress knowledge. Link to the first entry below. Read more

There’s a succession game of adventure mode on their forums called something like “The Museum”. The premise was that each character would go collect an artifact and bring it back to the Museum. There’s some average stuff in there on a very, very long thread. However, the climax of the thread and the game is… Read more

Oh man, I’ll never forget one moment. It’s not much of a story, but it’s really a testament to the AI in this mess of letters and UI. Read more

That strip for Bronzemurdered is fantastic. More of these! Read more

It's amazing that a succession game I was part of over a decade is still fondly remembered.  Read more

Gita, I really appreciate your playing this game so I don’t have to. Mobile games almost never stick on me, but I’m very glad to know what this one’s about.

I was hoping this article was going to end with the restaurant management aspect saying “characters you don’t need anymore can be fed to customers for in-game currency.” Instead, they just make more food. Read more

I am 1000% serious when I say this article, in addition to Jason’s reporting on Anthem and Bioware, are why I love Kotaku. Read more

I have to say I love the idea of infusing afrocentrism into the RPG genre which by and large is mostly eurocentric. Clearly there is a nice amalgamation here that works well and I look forward to seeing more from this in the future! Read more

Expand your horizons...Play it and have fun. I’ve played D&D since third grade and ran out and bought the oriental (cringe) adventures supplement when i was a kid and didn’t feel the need to be of Asian decent.

I really appreciate Kotaku keeping us informed on these things. And keeping this in the forefront of the news. Read more

You should definitely get it (I’m a white guy backing it), it’s filling a hole in our public imagination but it’s for everyone. Play whoever you want, but if you are wondering about the politics of playing a person of color as a white person, you can find several thoughtful articles online about the subject. Read more

Process and protocols require appropriate staffing, but at least having some process is a step in the right direction. I expect I’ll be able to cook up some popcorn with the ongoing dumpster fire that is gamer toxicity. Read more

You should check out Yohancé if you’re interested in original Afro-Futurism. It was created as a comic book, but they’re creating a movie that they’ll be releasing for free on YouTube. It’s a big ol’ space opera, like Star Wars but with African roots. Read more

This looks fucking amazing but the first sentence ‘art book kickstarter’ is confusing, is this KS for a book or a game? Read more

A good “one more thing” video game binge is definitely a favorite high of mine, and has definitely been a coping strategy for surviving bad jobs. Now I ration them out as smartly as possible, because I am An Old and sleep is worth more than gold most of the time.  Read more

One-More-Turn-Itis. Minecraft, Dwarf Fortress, & Civilization. Perennial games that drive me toward sleepless nights. Eventually I’ll burn out and want to do/play something else. But I always come back eventually. Read more

Gita is narrating my life right now. Read more

The same thing happened to me this past weekend but my game is XCOM2: War of the Chosen. It’s 11pm i should go to bed but lets do one more mission and, well, this research is about to be done so let me pass some days here and then I’ll go to... OH! a mission to push back the Avatar Project! Gotta do that...
