One of my favourite Dragon magazine covers - March 1989's. Always makes me think of Shadowrun's Awakening and what it would have been like for the pilots encountering dragons in the sky for the first time.

As someone who collects physical strategy guides and writes online ones as a job, this is total butt. I’d take a hundred retro guides with janky unauthorized cover art over these frauds any day.
Check out our RE9 walkthrough over at RPS instead! www.rockpapershotgun.com/resident-evi...
A little bit of personal, self-deprecating writing from me on how a boss fight made me so annoyed that I KO’ed my desk lol

Happy to hang out with my fellow bald bearded Asian game writer @pixelgrotto.bsky.social in London! I think people might have mistaken us for brothers at some point LOL.
Saw a copy of Hellbreakers in Orcs Nest and was tempted to buy it but I remembered my copy should be flying in to me anytime now!

Finally met @bigprawn.bsky.social in the flesh after having worked on multiple tabletop projects together. We ate Taiwanese chicken and went to the shops to see books we’d worked on. These are the baldies that you are trusting to make your TTRPGs!
Our next game (and the first one we're publishing) is cooking!

We definitely felt similarly, though I liked Grace’s bits more than you did. Def feel ya on how the game never truly commits to anything, while trying to convince old fans into liking it just because it’s bringing back RE2 stuff. Oh well.
Here's my take on Resident Evil Requiem. It's pretty harsh, as I mostly focus on the story and how it's a big bundle of wasted potential, but hey - there are some ideas here on how it coulda been better!

This is awesome. Wonderful to see Latin America represented on Brussels streets

I would also like to add that I chronicled almost all of Nioh 3's bosses this past month and it nearly killed me www.rockpapershotgun.com/nioh-3-all-b...
Me and the other trench-dwellers in the guides team over at @rockpapershotgun.bsky.social have been busting our butts these last few weeks. Wrapped up our complete RE9 walkthrough today. Best written guide on the internet I reckon! www.rockpapershotgun.com/resident-evi...

A woman wearing a long dark brown coat walks along a foggy green path with a crossroads in front of her. Mist obscures the cars and buildings in the distance, and towering winter trees reach towards the sky as a lone bird flaps its wings overhead.
Took this photo of my wife walking this AM and was reminded of a fixed camera angle in a PS2 survival horror game
There are plenty of places you can pick up a copy of Mappa Mundi, our award-winning debut exploration + ecology game. Our friends at @shop.peregrinecoast.press were the first people to take a chance on it, so pick up a copy from them!
And we are done with a final amount of £83,256!!! Surpassed Mappa Mundi, which is a fantastic sign for both Gallows and our future projects in the oven. Thank you dearly!
Gallows Corner is funded, at £83,255 when the last second passed.
Thanks to everyone here for your support. We start the printing process on Thursday.
Next up: City of Espers!

Sometimes I wish HW had more mass appeal, but I have to remind myself that so much of the movies, games, music, etc. I enjoy the most are those that make me feel crazy thinking about how the rest of the world isn’t constantly singing their praises. Like when I watch a low budget/indie movie with a lot of obvious heart and after it ends I’m excited and go on letterboxd only to see it averaged at 2.5 stars. Or discover a beautiful song from a band that existing for a blip in time 20 years ago that barely exists on the internet now. And it hurts to think about people spending so much time and effort on making things that only a small number of people will appreciate, but on the audience side I truly do feel like my life is so much better with these things in it. I feel like they were made for me. As much as I wish there was a way everyone who creates could feel the value of their work, I know our world is not set up for that. But then I guess they do know in some sense, because they keep making - in spite of it all. And that’s really inspiring to me.

5 hours to go now! Every little bit helps put us in a better position to continue crafting creative games that challenge the norm and bring something new to the TTRPG table!
I didn't even attempt that! Nicely done, top gamer moment 100%
A notebook showing handdrawn maps and notes for Resident Evil 2, including the Raccoon City Police Station.
More handwritten notebook drawings for Resident Evil REmake, including a little doodle of a chibi Chris Redfield running from zombies under the caption "CRIMSON HEAD ZOMBIES SUCK"
Found my handwritten notes on beating the original Resident Evil 2 and REmake while covering Resident Evil Requiem for work. I played the entire series back-to-back about 8 years ago so this isn't some childhood discovery, but I still enjoy looking at my lil doodles
GALLOWS CORNER - A PEASANTS' REVOLT RPG is in its final 48 hours on Kickstarter!

I literally CRIED at the ending of Mega Man 2, the first time I beat it (I was 6 years old, roughly).
We cannot and should not let generative AI take away these tiny, insignificant, but probably fun as hell jobs from artists
Charmed and fascinated by Chess Wars, a DOS game released in 1996 that features live-action cutscenes of medieval melee when playing pieces engage one another in battle.
Played through it early, and yeah, I agree with this. I enjoyed the interplay between him and Grace in Rhodes Hill but then the "this is an apology and also fan service and please like us" feelings ramped up way too much
I feel ya on this, sir, 100%
