Great solo play-through of Personal Demons from @boardgaymesjames.com! With an immediate Hocus Pocus reference at the jump, I approve.

At a glance I thought this was One For Sorrow, to be fair

We’re making a lot of assumptions that it’s more than one person.

Less clothes.
Shinier hair.
Bigger rictus grin.
Deader eyes.
Deader.
Bigger box.
Bigger.
Bigger still.
Melt the background.
Melt the foreground.

Publish.

I, Ming, AKA Brother Ming, and everyone associated with Brother Ming Games, unequivocally denounce the use of Al Art. There is no ethical use of Generative Al to create art. We strongly disapprove of any board game publisher who use Image Generation tools in their process. Board games only have 2 components: written rules and printed physical components. The visuals in board games carry much more weight than in video games. To use Al art in board games is to treat them as nothing more than a product to be shoveled out for the sake of profit. SAY NO TO AI ART IN GAMES

What a statement! This is what we like to see on a crowdfunding page @brotherminggames.bsky.social !! 💪

Fuck AI in boardgames and fuck those that use it!

Less than an hour to go! We'll see you there!

For the Kickstarter video! But I’m going to get as much mileage out of them as I can, so expect them at cons and in my how to play vid too!

Demon puppets are happening!

- They want to avoid hi-res assets being scraped resulting in counterfeits reaching market prior to legitimate copies (just ask Wonderbow)

I’ve sent over a pro-forma crayon drawing of the celery stick with peanut butter, please acknowledge receipt.

Gotta respect the grift of charging people to do “AI work” that you could literally do yourself with no training and no skill in about five minutes. Or, if you’re strapped for five minutes, hire a toddler to do it for a celery stick with some peanut butter on it.

Your feedback on the solo mode scoring tiers would be useful! Still workshopping those amounts!

I've added an important item to my company policies.

Hot take: GenAI is a consumptive process, not a creative process. It's the equivalent of flipping channels on your TV until you find something you like and then yelling "I MADE THIS!"

I'm sorry you're having to deal with that.

Prototypes arrived!!!

Brown offers similar insights into the question of politics in games. ‘Players have all kinds of preferences when it comes to games: dice or no dice, three-hour epics or speedy thirty-minute sessions, solitaire or plays-up-to-eight. And people generally don’t say, “Keep dice out of games” or “Stick to making party games,” do they? Certain players seem to confuse their natural right to express preference with a more authoritarian might to police certain content. Because it’s not “politics” but a certain kind of politics that elicits this reaction from a small group. I think the few but loud people who say “Keep politics out of games” are demanding that we all shrink ourselves down to their very narrow, sad view of the world and of power, and doing that would make games way less fun and interesting for the rest of us.’

I shared my thoughts about "Keep (your) politics out of (my) boardgames" with @danthurot.bsky.social for @wyrdscience.bsky.social

We Stand with Our Community A few months ago, my coworker, Alex, moved from St. Louis to Minneapolis. This week I spent some time with him in person for the first time since the move, and we had a long chat about the horrifyi…

I started with physical media! I only just ProCreate for colour.

I thought this was about the other D.T. and it all still rang true except the people trying to gingerly explain why he’s wrong bit- that’s when I go back for context.
