QRP your spies/rogues! πŸ•΅οΈ This is a kind of spy...it's even one could argue, a Rogue. One Rogue, perhaps? Hmm. Something about that's not right...

Ahhhhh this looks cool as hell

appreciating that @rowanzeoli.bsky.social indulged my inner academic & let me quote Benjamin & Le Guin and also 2 texts i was reading at the time of designing Going Rogue that were influential on it (Picturing Power by @arielleangel.bsky.social in @jewishcurrents.bsky.social + Blessed is the Flame)

Wow, this looks fantastic! If you love Rogue One or Andor, maybe check this out!

it's rly gratifying to have jess explicitly call back to us talking abt this! to my memory, it was a very classic-but-difficult development conversation of "hey: here's something your game is saying. it's ok if you want it to say that, but if you don't, it's important to change it"

This interview became way more timely in the course of a literal day. Good game, good thoughts, good interview.

i so appreciate @rowanzeoli.bsky.social giving me the chance to speak about my thoughts on Going Rogue as political project it's been interesting & challenging trying to be thoughtful about how i approach (& market) this game in that respect, & getting to talk its *limitations* was actually v nice

In the second installment of Rascal's interview with @jumpgategames.itch.io, designer Jess Levine dives deep into the politics of Going Rogue. "Resistance is worth it even when the cause is impossible, because the act of resisting provides us with a feeling of humanity that is irreplaceable."

What are people saying about Galactic & Going Rogue? @emcandon.bsky.social, author of the novel Star Wars: Ronin, said she "literally could have used it as a study guide for Ronin," & she "immediately brought it to nearly every play group I know"! Check it out: www.kickstarter.com/projects/gal...

Morning folks! We're officially just $15k from our 2nd stretch goal: having award-winning designer @jmstar.bsky.social, creator of Fiasco, Night Witches, & more, write for our setting supplement! Jason literally wrote a LARP abt COINTELPROing a left org & I want his take on The Intelligence SO bad.

Less than $50k away from unlocking my supplement story!

@hauntedtable.bsky.social my first thought

Aaah! I could not be more excited for this!

"I AM YOUR HOST...DUKE GAREN OLES. AND TONIGHT, I AM GIVING YOU A PREVIEW, OF WHAT IS TO COME. FROM STAR TO STAR, FROM WORLD TO WORLD, PROJECT ORCHESTRION WILL CHANGE...EVERYTHING."

it’s actually pretty funny that i’m in two bob double books. what’s going on there

We are 8 backers away from the big 500, in just our first 2 days! That's SO exciting!! Who wants to help us hit that milestone?

@aavoigt.bsky.social & @rowanzeoli.bsky.social now both know the pains of asking me interview questions in a written format (and both did an excellent job cutting in down into something digestible, the sign of a great interviewer)

This is one of the coolest things ever And yes I keep saying that cause HAVE YOU SEEN THIS SHIT

I'm incredibly grateful to @rowanzeoli.bsky.social for the fantastic questions she sent me, then for taking the absolute novel I sent in response & turning it into a tightly-edited 2 part interview. It was such an honor to try & tackle these topics, and I hope people will give it a read!

I LOVE to see an animated trailer! This rules!

In the first of a two part interview, Rascal sat down with @jumpgategames.itch.io to chat about Galactic and Going Rogue, the failures of Star Wars as a revolutionary story, and reclaiming beloved worlds from their corporate owners

a pretty absurd amount of effort went into this trailer. over a hundred man-hours from Leandro, Cris, David, Drak, myself and more. it was so new & so delightful to write for a visual medium, bit of a dream come true. im VERY proud of the result & i'd love if people gave it a lookβ€”and maybe a like!

The itch.io edition of Galactic was a huge part of what inspired my first novel; it taught me that I could take what I liked out of science fiction & replace the rest with better messages. A mess of lovely people are working on this new edition (and its companion game). You should go support them!
