I'm two weeks from moving into my new flat, which will have an office for Rascal work. That means having space for games, hobbies, and creative work again for the first time in a solid year.

This was a tough one. We needed to balance valid criticism of the organization's military funding against a valid desire to help rebuild healthcare infrastructure. Making information public ultimately felt like the best route. We concede it won't please everyone.

A Ukrainian humanitarian group plans to rebuild wartorn hospitals using a tabletop RPG bundle, but they're also crowdfunding UAVs, armored vehicles, and tactical gear. We talked to a representative about public criticism, financial transparancy, and how this project started.

Rascal speaks to @jeffstormer.gobirds.online about Party of One's new identity. What does it mean to be an interview show disguised as an actual play?

Seeing another outlet cover industry unionization genuinely bolsters my spirit.

It is truly not my job to teach the internet media literacy, even if doing so would make it so much easier. Some of y'all act like asking for an email is ransom at gunpoint.

I worry that the structure of the modern internet makes healthy criticism cycles nearly impossible, but damn it if I didn't wish tabletop games had any kind of substantial cycle that aligned with public availability of games.

If this ban covered @9thlevelgames.bsky.social Rebel Scum but not Going Rogue, then we were clearly doing something wrong. In the meantime, we've removed all of our games from @drivethrurpg.com until they allow Rebel Scum, or forever—whichever comes first. Shameful & cowardly decision by Roll20.

Rebel Scum, a game about punching thinly metaphorized space Republicans in the face, technically broke Roll20's Product Standards Guidelines for "overt political agendas or views." Censoring political art does the fascists' job for them, no matter how staunchly Roll20 proclaims 'no politics!'

Crowdfunding charities through itch.io bundles is a flawed and often frustrating process, but several non-profits and direct action groups told us the aid gathered from bundles remains an invaluable resource.

TWU's contract wins them pay increases, scheduling protections, and most baffling that it wasn't already offered: "health and safety provisions, requiring management to respond effectively to sexual harassment and abusive customers."

Hello, internet. Looking for people to talk to me about Shadowrun™️, ideally the last 15 years of it! Love it or hate it, that doesn't matter. The important thing is you have opinions and want to share them with Rascal. Reply below or contact me via email, discord, DMs, whatever. Let's talk!

The answer to understanding tabletop's least appreciated resource might just lie with the Straw Hat Pirates and Hidden Leaf ninjas. From @therisingtithes.bsky.social

Playing KOTOR II for the first time thanks to @morecivilized.bsky.social, and it's fascinating to see all these extremely 2000s trends deployed earnestly. Technology locks video games (heck, even board games) into a material history that's much more evident compared to tabletop RPGs.

No longer paying for Spotify because poor but also fuck Daniel Ek. What's the best streaming alternative that strikes the balance between useability and gives a shit about artist royalties?
