Great article from @lincodega.bsky.social (@rascalnews.bsky.social) on the limitations of being excited for D&D when Wizards is only showing talking points instead of the actual updated books. As an aside, are people referring to this as 5.1 or 5.5? Does it depend on how much of an update it is?

Wonders of the First's AI art is only the tip of the iceberg. $1.25 million in funding, a Kickstarter cancellation, and likely brigading bans, all in the name of creating the collector’s perfect card game. Or so one Web3 evangelist says.

From Darrington Press, ⁠Daggerheart's playtest proves it has a solid foundation, but its double-duty narrative and stat-based character generation creates unnecessary pain points.

Quick reminder: Rascal's basic subscription is free. So don't get turned off by the "subscription" wall. They are doing some great articles so far. :)

On this week's Table, @lincodega.bsky.social writes about their long-standing Orbital Blues campaign, the characters that inhabit the shipping vessel, Dead Moon, and what it means to play a game that mythologizes our gig economy by giving it spaceships and laser guns.

Forgery, by @bananachangames.bsky.social, is a solo, paint-by-numbers, journaling game about an artist struggling to survive in a niche arts scene... and is, at the same time, an incisive satire of working within the TTRPG space.

Everybody's a critic. @lincodega sits down with @Quinns108, host of Quinns Quest, for a (slightly unhinged) discussion on the need for serious TTRPG criticism, "dangerous games," and why rules aren't as important as vibes in finding the D&D killer
