Weekly Links #183

Hello, everyone! This week, issue #18 of The Spectrum Show Magazine is finally out, with my coverage of a game jam from two months ago. It may seem glacially slow at the pace of the Internet, but it's the price we pay for a taste of the old days. More timely, Emily Short covers the Introcomp 2017, a still ongoing event as of this writing. And still in the way of events, the XYZZY Awards may have been late and without a ceremony this year, but they were still live-tweeted, and David Welbourn collected it all.

Next, in the way of tabletop RPGs (always an important source of inspiration and game design experience, if nothing else), we have an article about The Call of Cthulhu as historical fiction, and another about the balance between character death and character creation.

Last but not least, going back to adventure games, there's a brief interview with Brian Moriarty

And that's it for this week, because I'm tired, not in the mood and with relatively few links due to a busy schedule in the weekend again. See you.
