Advent 2: They Are Speaking To Us
Over the past year I’ve discovered a bunch of cool TTRPG blogs and news outlets that are absolutely worth keeping up with. Below are several of the blogs I enjoyed reading this year.
Rascal News
A great TTRPG news site which is my favourite way to see what is happening across the wider TTRPG community.
Rascal is a tabletop roleplaying game and culture outlet striving to sustainably publish voicey journalism that is compelling, deeply-report

Rascal News is well worth your money:
Well it's been a month. I waited and watched and thought ah you know if the lowest sub was less than $5 then maybe just maybe. But I did want to support because Rascal is setting a course for the direction TTRPGs as an arts industry can be steered in, whether I personally am on board or not (though my funds would certainly help).
Like I said, it's been a month, and they've now implemented pay-per-article if there's something you want to see or you can't justify $5 – which is a pretty smart move considering "paywall tho" is the thought terminating refrain in the twitter replies and one of Rascal's stated intents is to do more Real Important Journalism in an industry rife with corporate exploitation and abuses of power, which is the sort of news that needs both funding and low access to entry.
It's also worth saying that their articles are a good read.
"While there are still some crunchier elements to the final product (exemplifying what AP scholar Dr. Emily Friedman refers to as the medium’s “ambitious middle”), the subtle production details and the highly intentional performances in GUDIYA are a beacon of what is artistically possible for video-born actual plays."
Using Magpie Games’ Bluebeard’s Bride, this award-winning actual play is the closest I’ve seen to an AP art film (so far)
"GUDIYA (the Hindi word for doll) overwhelmingly plays into the horror of not only its source material, but the horror of being both a woman and South Asian in the highly gendered and xenophobic world of the English Empire."
I've now signed up at $50 for the year, or £3.29 each month which is Really Quite Good, so for your consideration I wanted to share the article that made me commit (above) plus a couple of choice picks for tumblr:
For some buckaroos, TTRPGs peaked at AD&D and that’s a unique, wonderful way I had to know more about.
