Star Trek: Ariel

We certainly annoyed the miners. But we got them off the planet that started to self-destruct after we looked at something, so hey.

It's a Banksy
Banksy steps up from wall art to install a statue in central London overnight.

Description note rather than dialogue for later
I just described turning away disapprovingly as a full-body eyeroll.
SE!ZE
SE!ZE is a new boardgame “blending ideas from chess, draughts, tafl and Mariokart, with powerup spaces on the board” quoting designer James Wallis, created to advertise Chivas Regal whisky inspired by and with input from F1 driver Charles Leclerc.
Zach Cregger's Resident Evil
Zach Cregger (Barbarian, Weapons) rebooting Resident Evil films to somewhat resemble the games in tone? Teaser which amusingly starts rather like Barbarian.

Bring me the head of...
See a great suggestion for a head for a custom action figure, look on eBay, find the figure unusually cheap, and the seller notes they took the head for a custom. (Rose McIver as RPM Yellow Ranger for Olivia Holt.) I wonder if it’s the same person.

Summer games, 2026 edition
Vampires? Vampire Slayers? Something else?! Thoughts are forming.
Vampire: Straightforward plot, not an open city. Anarchs or outcasts, Camarilla peons. Doing some specific thing.
Buffy: One season. Graveyard Shift? Sounds Like Hell? Prepare?
Other?
A PC for NPCs
A computer I can be heard over in video chat could mean running games online again. Hmm.

Can a conspiracy survive an idiot?
Greg Stolze plans out a Delta Green plot hook about recent government slash and burn tactics.
OK, my idea for DELTA GREEN, which someone else could definitely write or homebrew is, in short, DOGE found The Program.

The Buffy RPG history
Rascal looks at the history of the Buffy The Vampire Slayer RPG, some of which I heard through the same recent source but some also news to me.
Thanks to David Chapman. “As someone who worked for Eden, and worked on the Buffy RPG, there is a heap of info in the article even I didn't know. Really fantastic read.” And to Gar Hanrahan for reupping the link.
