DVG embracing the AI art.

"...our choice is to use either AI generated ship art, or use historical photos of the ships. In either case, a human artist would not be involved."

Depressing that 186 people "liked" this and are OK with paying money for AI slop they could freely generate themselves.

Lecture du moment.

Clear, concise intro demonstrating a sample matrix game turn and the processes involved. Good pre-game briefing and a starting point for those interested in designing/running matrix games.

Minor update for Arete: Battles of Alexander today, but I did tweak the VP requirements for the Pelium scenario so you'll have to update to the latest version (1.2.10) play online.

Arete is on iOS, Android, and Steam (Win and Mac).

The Rematch begins! Roger and Patrick have swapped sides, and now we get to see another race to Gettysburg in 'Meade Moves North'!

Thank you for making this scenario the most-viewed video in a short time!

Une partie mémorable ! GoGots se fait littéralement manger par la Bête. Normal, quand on ne mélange pas assez le Jeu de la Bête, il se venge. Grand merci à GoGots, pour la partie et ses retours sur le jeu. #j2s #tcg #wargames https://youtube.com/live/uIX9gCp8pug?feature=share

@DarkestKale I still think we underappreciate what #wargames and traditional #roguelike games give us in terms of graphical freedom: people still make Wargames with the ISO tiles, and roguelikes with ASCII. Why can't we think about simplified, clear art to make these as smaller 'things' that can just be finished with the gameplay, before moving on?

Summer vacations offer a chance for history buffs to undertake a form of “staff ride,” reading books, watching movies, and even playing games...and then visiting related locations to better appreciate first-hand the places and people of our past.

I started writing down my progress of converting #Maleghast to a #printandplay format here: https://dbzer0.com/blog/magnagothica-maleghast-print-play-unit-chips/ on my own (underutilized) blog.

This piece is elaborating on how I translated the units to a poker-chip format.

I'll be writing the next few pieces soon.

Managed to get #maleghast on the table today. Against new player and without counting the rules explanation game took less than 1.5 hours to play. I'm sure with experienced players it can go to an hour or less. #wargames

German federal prosecutors on Thursday confirmed they had charged a Ukrainian national over the 2022 sabotage of the Nord Stream pipeline, accusing him of acting as an accomplice in a war crime.

German prosecutors further allege that, as an officer in the Ukrainian army in 2022, he and other military personnel "acting on behalf of state bodies in #Ukraine" developed a plan to destroy the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines in order to permanently halt Russian gas deliveries and prevent Moscow from using energy revenues to finance its war.

German investigators concluded the sabotage had been planned by a Ukrainian group as early as 2014, as previously reported by WELT and POLITICO.

Investigators believe Serhii K. commanded the sailing yacht Andromeda, from which the operation was allegedly launched. According to the indictment, he entered Germany via Poland in September 2022 using a forged Ukrainian passport before transporting military-grade explosives by yacht to waters near the Danish island of Bornholm.

I just uploaded a few more Amiga classics to the Internet Archive! "Gunship 2000", "Campaign" and "Dogfight" just went online. All of them on blue 880K DD diskettes, bootable on the original Amiga 500. 😜

Je n'ai toujours pas reçu les cartes du Jeu de la Bête. Jamais vécu d'attente aussi longue. D'autant plus qu'après, il y aura près de 200 jeux à expédier 😆 #j2s #deckbuilding #mtg #tcg #Wargames https://romaricbriand.fr/lejeudelabete/

A correction: we played #Nevsky 1e.

I actually quite like this #wargame. The rules, which aren’t very well structured or are difficult to understand, and the sometimes unnecessary complexity dampened my enjoyment of the #game.
I love it when #history is taught as a side note.

I’m off to Frankfurt for #FREERPGDAY to meet up with friends. In the afternoon, we’ll probably be playing #GMT 's #Nevsky: Teutons and Rus in Collision, 1240–1242, 2nd Ed. At least, that’s the plan. "Wood for Sheep" #games aren’t really my thing; I definitely prefer #wargames! #ttrpg #boardgames

Where does Napoleon keep his armies? Up his sleevies... Pocket General: Waterloo, Brandon Fisichella's rules-agnostic illustrated card system, lets you achieve much the same thing but with pockets. #wargames #pocketGeneral #napoleonic #crowdfundQuest #crowdfunding #kickstarter
