The Drift Crisis continues! In crumbling Alluvion, the goddess Triune's city domain within the Drift, the heroes are thrust into the center of tensions between anxious factions at the heart of the Drift Crisis catastrophe! By agreeing to aid a desperate android priest of Casandalee, the heroes can start to help healing these divides. But first, they must curry the favor of a community of ysoki scrappers outside of the Dark, a neighborhood where technology doesn't work that hasn't been touched by light for decades. Exploring those murky streets, they confront undead menaces and otherworldly spirits of hatred and anger, eventually restoring light and power to the cursed region, and shining further illumination as to the origin of the Drift Crisis!

What does love have to do with games? As games have developed in complexity, they have increasingly started to include narratives that seek to engage with love in a variety of ways. Whilst media attention often seems to focus on more violent emotions and behavior in games, love has always been a central part of the gaming experience. We love to play games, we have titles that we experience love towards, and sometimes we love too much, or love terrible games for their mistakes. Love in games therefore, is rather like love in life - it can be complicated, unexpected and difficult but also fun, enlightening and powerful. The authors of this collection aim for the first time to unpack the meaning and role of love in games by examining some of these aspects. Love is hard to reproduce in games, and we trace a number of ways - from coding to cosplay, in which love can be expressed in, for and around games. Investigating how games can start to think about love in exciting, in-depth ways is also key to understanding the growing importance of games and gamers as important cultural markers, since it points to gaming as growing in maturity in its attempt to address such a varied subject.

Name a more 90s-esque pastime than bingo! This flat-pack bingo game is flashback to the iconic pop cultural moments of the, like, totally greatest decade ever. Yes, this is history at its most irreverent. Any millennial will say that the 90s were the best decade - even though many were still in diapers at the time. Regardless, and putting the whole 90s-kid debate aside for a moment, they're right. Much of 90s culture dictates ours today. Without Friends or Seinfeld, would our world still turn? If Nirvana hadn't made it big, would grunge have ever reached the masses? Can anyone even pass a driving test without training in Mario Kart?? We doubt it, and this bingo game just about proves it. With 12 randomized bingo cards, and 64 tokens with 90s-centric flavor, this game can keep you and your friends playing all night long. (This box set includes more detailed instructions on how to play.)
