Symposium: Pentiment, October 19, 2023
For our October Symposium, we’re discussing Pentiment. David will be leading the discussion; I imagining that the theme of the game alone will lead to quite a bit of discussion, but I’m also curious to talk about how the game … Continue reading

Symposium: Dicey Dungeons, November 3, 2022
This month we’re going to discuss Dicey Dungeons. Its store page describes it as a “deckbuilding roguelike”; do we think that a characterization of it as a dice-based deckbuilding roguelike accurately covers what’s interesting about the game, or is there … Continue reading
