some wacky roommates do ongoing podcasts/youtube/livestream analysis of ASOI&F & Dune (mostly), & one of them busted out a graphic novel so I backed it

The guys making Overlord found that they couldn't trademark the name Overlord! So they're changing the name of the game to Overboss

I backed Dr. Magic Cards's game Antematter because it looked cool. Did he used to go by another name? I feel like I used to know this.

Can you just release a game without a trademark? What happens if you do?

You can, and nothing, except anyone can just decide to make a game called Overlord 3, which is gonna be annoying for you.

I received All Bridges Burning. Counterinsurgency in Finland -- this game has a mechanic where all players lose if they let "Polarization" get too high

Luckily, continental drift is very slow so it will take a very long time for Finland to be polarized.

Good news, if polarization is high enough then it's Klondike bars for everyone

The Terra Invicta kickstarter went live today. I am a little hesitant. I was expecting something tactical like Long War but this doesn't look like that. It looks like there's a lot of emphasis on top level strategy i.e. the tedious part of XCOM. Combat featuring orbital mechanics sounds novel and I'm glad somebody is doing it but I'm not so sure it's going to be fun in practice. Hmmmmmm

I got the first wave of Etherfields stuff, "the first wave" being the core game, the fifth-player expansion, and a Kickstarter box of minis for certain enemies that normally don't have minis. The true expansions to the game will come in a second wave. Anyway, I got the game and holy cow does this game come with a lot of cards. There must be hundreds

I'm not kickstarting this, but maybe some people here will be interested:

Rebecca Guay art book project.

Why I'm posting it though is the middle picture. I'm not entirely certain but I think it may be a room in her house, and if it is, it is just conceptually very cool. A warning, it is ever so slightly NSFW.

EDIT: Looking at it a bit closer it's not a room, but it's not just a painting, it's more of an installation. And still just very cool work of art.
Pour like Hemingway's last call.
