Happy Pride month! Did this last year, so why not offer it this year too? #Pride #YCH featuring your #oc / #VTuber dressed as #SailorMoon! Order yours on my #VGen: vgen.co/viaravt/serv... #lewdtuber #VChill #ENVTuber #VTubersWithDisabilities #Vsky #autisticvtubers #IndieVTuber #Viart #VArtist

“I’m looking for Axis & his Allies…yes…the people you fool—not the board game!”

Today at 12pm EST join us for Cast Guidance. You never what kind of #dnd/#ttrpg topics will be on the table but always bring a soapbox, the chances of a tangent is never zero. #dmdiscussions #qna #roundtable #twitch #moonbeam

Last week we got a wing suit and learnt to fly...badly... This week we are going to see if I can fly a little better while running from zombies and chasing a super human zombie guy in #DyingLight2! #Moonbeam www.moonbeam.stream/user/TheDwarfDownUnder #Twitch www.twitch.tv/thedwarfdownunder

I’m flying to UKGE. Right now I’m flying from Detroit to Paris before I head to the UK! I’m watching Napoleon as I fly to Paris—it’s only right. 🇫🇷

It's time for your semi-regular reminder that I wrote a superhero TTRPG inspired by my favorite shows like Teen Titans and Batman: The Animated Series. You can check it out at www.brokendoor.shop/paragons or find it on DriveThruRPG!

X has become a place where all the replies are: “@Grok is this true?!?!” Geesh—that place went to hell, what a place it used to be…

It’s weird seeing other platforms use images people upload to train Generative AI without a way to opt out of this. I’d like to add a clause to Moonbeam’s ToS that explicitly states we will never use your images this way. What would artists like to see in a ToS that protects their art from AI?

The hero we need…Eddie Munson.

A great read that showcases a lot of industry truths and how hard it is for TTRPG creators to achieve a sustainable income. Hopefully things change—creators deserve better.

Honoring those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. 🇺🇸 #SomberMemorialDay

So, I’m reading a Daredevil Comic book from 1998. Kingpin’s wife, Vanessa, sells Kingpin’s Criminal headquarters too…Donald Trump. You can’t make this stuff up 😂

At 9.30pm BST/4.30pm Eastern/1.30pm Pacific TODAY @taylorannnx.bsky.social and @tsunbeare.bsky.social are going live on moonbeam.stream in the Arts & Crafts Realm for a Knit & Knatter! Make sure you sign up and grab your yarn to join them as they chat and craft!

What's this? Back-to-back crafting streams? I'm still working on the skull mesh top so come join me and Tsunbeare as we stitch and bitch 😅

I wonder what the societal impact of reruns no longer being a thing is going to have on society. 🤔

Thread: With everyone looking for an alternative to Discord to host their communities, might I make a suggestion? Moonbeam (@moonbeamstream.bsky.social) is, as I have mentioned before, trying to combine bits of Discord with bits of Twitch to make something new. Time for Pros and Cons - The Thread:

New platforms can be difficult, especially ones that combine streaming and community hubs! If you want to check out moonbeam.stream but don't know where to start, we have a handy FAQ page! Check it out here: support.moonbeam.stream

We're working on some cool content here at moonbeam.stream! Now that Multi-Realm streaming is a thing, @taylorannnx.bsky.social is teaming up with friends on Moonbeam for collaboration streams! Who do you think she should stream with? 📝👀🚀

It’s kinda wild that the Jedi’s prophecy about the “Chosen One,” is really just the Force doing a bunch of stuff just to change a bureaucratic governance structure. 😂 Like…what?

You know you want to commission me to paint this 😍

🟢 #VTuber #GoingLive on #Twitch !🟢 Clicking heads & raging out with @nevaehevol.bsky.social , @funguywerbly.bsky.social , @oauth2.bsky.social , & Friends! Come hang out! moonbeam.stream/ViaraVT is my new fav place to stream! NO ads plus I get the entire price of the subscription if anyone subs!

Wars reward.

I feel like I wanna host a few shows on Moonbeam where I discuss TTRPG creation with folks in the industry. Would folks be interested in that kind of content? It could cover game design, DMing, TTRPG history, etc.

We’re excited to announce the four winners of this year’s Diana Jones Award Emerging Designer Program!

Happy 36th birthday to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Nintendo game, released for Famicom in Japan on May 12, 1989! 🥳 It came to the US for NES in June of 89. The game, released by Konami’s subsidiary Ultra, alternates top-down and side-scrolling perspectives. 🧵1/4

Moonbeam finally has Multi-Realm streaming live!! It’s been a long time coming but I’m so excited to see this core feature out on Moonbeam! Also, live streams appear on your user profile! That was a great suggestion from the community!! See you on Moonbeam! 🌕 🚀

Warhammer 40K Crusade Apocalypse game!!! The Imperial forces are decimating the xenos on this Necron world!

Tomorrow I’m hosting a Warhammer 40K Apocalypse match to mark the end of our Crusade. 6,000 Points v. 6,000 points! Here’s the board setup almost done and my 2k army!

HORIZONS 3 IS HERE! It's got quests, magic items, battles to the death, philosophy footnotes, anime references, a fiendish fantasy Uno game, and more! ❤️‍🔥

Our colleagues in the Vox Media Union have put together a Go Fund Me. Please, if you've enjoyed what we do... If I've ever helped you in some way... If you've ever loved something more because of what we've written... Please give what you can. The next few weeks and months are going to be hard.

Had a blast during our first Moonbeam Town Hall yesterday! We had 38 folks tune in live and chat with us about Moonbeam!! Love seeing our community growing each day—we will def be doing Town Halls regularly! 🌕 🚀

Let’s circle back around to this shall we? If you have run a World of Darkness game in the past (or want to run one in the future) then this realm is for you. We’re gathering together a bunch of people to run streams and mod (yes mods will be paid) #vtm #ttrpg #rpg

Join us for our live Moonbeam Town Hall meeting tonight at 8pm ET / 7pm CT / 6pm MT / 5pm PT! See you there! 🌕 🚀 moonbeam.stream

This feels dirty to say honestly, but If you want to support a worker owned tabletop journalism outlet that will never sell to future capitalist ownership, support Rascal.News.

I am no longer with Polygon, my home for nearly 13 years. I am proud of what my colleagues and I have accomplished over that period, and I am especially proud of the role the @voxmediaunion.bsky.social and @wgaeast.bsky.social played in it all. Organize. Now. I am immediately available for hire.

If anyone who wrote about tabletop for Polygon has a pitch, reach out to Rascal. We'll make something happen with the budget we have.

Rascal is small, but we will do everything we can to support the freelance tabletop writers who suddenly lost a platform and source of income. info@rascalDOTnews Or hit up any of us in DMs.

There are roughly 18,000 of you who follow us on BlueSky, but aren't subscribed to www.rascal.news! It's completely free and gets you two weekly newsletters as well as our growing number of free articles. It also guarantees* that you'll roll better in all of your games! *Not actually guaranteed.
