US gamers lose out through nasty De Minimus postal fee gotcha

A recent executive order in the United States is set to have a dramatic impact on gamers who purchase from overseas, particularly from smaller, independent creators. The White House has announced a suspension of the so-called “de minimis” rule, which had previously allowed parcels valued at less than $800 to enter the country duty-free. This change, which takes effect on 29th August, means that these low-value shipments will now be subject to ta…United States · United States Read Article

Genre Police: Rule-ing Power

Last article, I was looking at different types of rules, why they exist and what to consider when hacking and homebrewing a system. I covered why it’s important to look at why a rule exists and talked about rules of consistency, agency and theme. Today, I’m going to finish that process by looking at four more different types of rules to see if we can learn to think more holistically about games and the process of creating our own rulesets. Let’…Hacking Read Article

Music video: Starbrry City

Starbrry City is a high colour low-fi music video made by DOMROM. It’s the story of a delivery woman whose sunbathing is interrupted. The music is by foxxdye, and you can get to it directly via Spotify. DOMROM made the video a few years ago, but reposted it on YouTube to catch the summer vibes, and it’s done well. Credit, though, must be shared with foxxdye for the sometimes alien-like lyrics and calming music which accompany our moped delivery…Music Video Read Article

Rolling for Connection: How TTRPGs combat loneliness

It’s August, and Geek Native’s team is stretched thin to cover the Edinburgh Festival season. As a result, this blog explores off the beaten track a bit further. In July, I was touched by an article a friend shared on social media. LGBTQ Nation wrote, “Trans man’s ‘culture shock’ after transitioning provides critical insight into male loneliness. I’m a cis-male; unlike the author of the piece, I can’t compare male friendship to female. However, …Edinburgh · Edinburgh Read Article

Routinely Itemised: RPG #321

It’s August and Geek Native’s “quiet month” as the team covers the Edinburgh Festivals for other blogs. Good news, we’re still keeping an eye on TTRPG news elsewhere, though! Speaking of which, on with the summary of summaries! Brennan Lee Mulligan is (for now) taking over DMing for Matt Mercer. A Diablo TTRPG is on the way. Draw Steel is a new TTRPG gaining attention. The top tip for getting Geek Native news quickly is still RSS but on the so…Edinburgh · Edinburgh Read Article

Where does it hurt? (Medieval Crime Scene Investigations)

I hope you never have to deal with a real-life chart from the doctors where they ask you, “Where does it hurt?” I came across this alternative chart and thought of a fantasy RPG, although I believe Redditor Ekj_133 first shared it on r/swordlady. Let me know in the comments if you know of an earlier version. So, should you find yourself in the unenviable position of needing to describe your injuries to a medieval physician, this chart proves inv…Read Article
