Of course it’s also possible it was done on purpose, in which case this still would not have occurred to a bad actor to try if the Rascal community press releases were not visually identical to the editorial work

Several things can be true at once:
- this probably was not on purpose from the MCG team
- whoever put this together should have done better due diligence
- this might not have happened if Rascal’s community press releases were not presented in visually identical ways to the editorial work

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally β€” almost certainly incomplete β€” includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

When the Supreme Court allowed immigration agents to consider race during sweeps, Justice Brett Kavanaugh said that citizens shouldn’t be concerned because agents will β€œpromptly let the individual go.”

For these Americans, that wasn’t true.

The thing about ebooks as a substitute is that it ignores two major needs of teen readers: autonomy (the ability to get a book without going through parents) and community (the ability to pass a book around to all their friends.)

Five Tiers of RPGΒ Publishing Hasbro’s annual earnings came out this week, so I took a look. It is truly staggering how much Wizards of the Coast has changed the company since they were acquired; when looking at unadjusted earnings the Wizards of the Coast and Digital Games division was the only one that turned a profit in the entire company. Not only that, but Wizards is responsible for roughly 47% of the entire company’s revenue and over 90% of all revenue growth over the last year.

Exactly. When you play a game you don’t just play rules or a system you also play people and ideas and media and society. System is blurry, games are blurry, play is blurry. All theory can provide is a lens. Long live play. Long live Sonic the Hedgehog.

In 2026 I hope to make a positive difference for how people perceive & talk about fat characters in TTRPGs

- Include β€œno body shaming/fat phobia” in lines and veils. Bring it up in your session zero
- Ask artists to give your character a double chin or belly. if it’s not right give clear feedback

It’s really wild to read the millennial optimism about technology here (Deliria was published in 2004) in this modern day but it spoke to me at the time, when I was a lonely preteen who made a lot of friendships through the internet

I am rereading Deliria, the TTRPG that made me fall in love with TTRPGs, for the first time in probably 20 years/since I was 13, and at the time I did not appreciate how genuinely great an approach this is. Tbf when I was 13 I didn’t know Brucato was best known for writing Mage the Crunchcension
