Thanks for letting me know about this, Ben! I have been lax about distinguishing between albino and white squirrels, but I have seen grey squirrels of both kinds. Many thanks for your comment! Chris.

There has been some talk about a Ghost Master 2, Friendsofsandwiches. I really can't say any more than that, though... Chris.

Thanks for dropping by, A! I am envious that you got to meet Pannikar, who has been highly influential in my life. I've written several essays about his work here, and also on my new philosophy blog, Stranger Worlds: https://strangerworlds.substack.com/p/disarming-culture Again, thanks for sharing your comment. Greatly appreciated. Chris.

Hi Douglas, I like the idea that the Heretics Kingdoms is not very famous in Brazil... I would say it is not very famous anywhere! 😂 But I'm thrilled to meet a Brazilian fan of these games, and as for future games... never say never! Games Farm and International Hobo have pursued a number of possible additional Heretics Kingdoms titles and although we haven't landed one yet, we've never stop trying. Many thanks for your comment! Chris.

Always great to hear from a Ghost Master fan, Tom! If you're interested in a possible sequel, the ihobo Games Discord server is your best rumour mill: https://discord.gg/AQh8PrE Stay wonderful! Chris.

Thanks for dropping by, Samuel! It's true, not many people discovered this in the year of release - although there were a lot more players in Poland and the surrounding countries, thanks to a release by CD Projekt Red that was much better promoted than the Vivendi release. Always great to hear from a Ghost Master fan, no matter how long it took them to find the game. :) There's a fair number of other fans at the ihobo games Discord. https://discord.gg/AQh8PrE All the best! Chris.

Thanks for your comment, Luise! These are troubling times. You don't mention who Rebekah is, though... if you see this comment, I'd be grateful for a link to her Substack. Many thanks!

Hi Luqman, Thanks for taking an interest! Feel free to cite this interview, that'd be grand. Chris.

Thanks for dropping by, Bruce! There has certainly been some eclectic articles on this blog over the years. 😄 We still get a lot of hits for the card game Cho Dai Dee (Big 2). All the best, Chris.

Thanks for the link to the Madison abstract, Graham - I have some sympathy with this view, in that I agree that we can reject essentialism without falling automatically into 'incommensurability'. However, all talk of a 'postmetaphysical universalism' seems to me to jump the gun... as long as we're still trying to escape metaphysics, we're jumping the philosophical shark. Metaphysics isn't going anywhere. The challenge is how to get back to living with that, but that is (I would suggest) soluble in principle, and certainly more soluble than the problem of how to restrain commercial power. I enjoyed writing this piece, which I feel lays out some unexpected ideas for solving contemporary issues... it is pragmatically unworkable, but that doesn't make it any less interesting to mull. As for Dewey, I dabbled a little with some of his essays, but found him hard to work with. Thanks for commenting, Graham! Chris.

Thanks for stopping by, Mark - always great to hear from a Ghost Master fan. And never say never! As it happens, a sequel might not be entirely out of the question... Chris.

Postscript We can no longer imagine any alternative to private property except public property (state property) - yet the commons are neither, they are non-property. Calling for Eternal Commons is not to demand the end of private or public property, but an invitation to discover the immense possibilities entailed in reinventing the commons. To any Christian reading, I ask you this: who actually owns a church…? It does not belong to the state any more than it is private property. If it is authentically a church, it is and can only be an Eternal Commons, and there are many more examples like this just waiting for us to re-open our minds to the power of community. With unlimited love, Chris.

Hey Ludwik! Thanks for leaving a comment! Always great to hear from a Ghost Master fan. There's a small community of these growing on the ihobo games Discord, if you're interested in hanging out with other fans: https://discord.gg/AQh8PrE As for a sequel...? Never say never! 😁 Chris.

Thanks for playing, Sophie! Chris.

Hey ArcLamp, Many thanks for the kind words, greatly appreciated - very sorry it has taken me six months to reply to this! I really ought to be checking Only a Game for comments more often, but since I moved my philosophical base camp to Stranger Worlds, I am here less often. I'll check your piece - thanks for sharing it! With unlimited love, Chris.
