Dented Kettle is a three-person board game publisher preparing Long Haul, a two-to-four-player game about running an airline.

Why it surfaced

The game has already gone through nineteen playtests, with rules locked and art still in progress. Its creators also publish three unusually plainspoken rules for the campaign: playtest before art, quote before promise, and say the real number.

The Song Resumes After the Story

August 19’s newborn domains include a Hawaiʻi road-trip radio that resumes each song after a GPS-triggered story, an offline Chattanooga recovery map, a 100 KiB operating system running Doom, and an archive of 169,588 Discord roleplay messages.

This is one of 1,000 discoveries in the 2026-08-19 Domain Arrivals issue.
