#4 | Video Games - The 2026 Release Window
Because of the work I do over on Bluesky posting about indie games, I keep a running list of upcoming games. The list includes release dates if I know them, but most of the games have a vague release window. And when I say vague I mean this: Looking at my spreadsheet right now, there are 23 titles that are scheduled to release this year so I would like to highlight 6 that I personally hope come out this year.

#1 | TTRPG - Age Them Up Then Kill Them
Recently, I had to figure out how to have a player revisit the day his character's younger brother died without breaking my own GM rule: NO HARM TO CHILDREN. I am the GM for an ongoing game of Blades In The Dark that I play with my partner & two friends. When we started the game in the Spring of 2025, none of us had very much experience with TTRPGs. My friends had played a few sessions of D&D years ago & my partner & I had zero experience. As a person who enjoys a good story, I knew that the cha...
