Hey, so I'm starting a new tabletop RPG website with @lincodega and @RowanZeoli called Rascal. We're really excited and also nervous for this project, and I'd super appreciate y'all's support!

We're gonna do some cool shit.

[Rascal News @rascal_news]

Hi, We’re Rascal, a new, independent, reader-supported, worker-owned outlet for journalism about TTRPGs, actual plays, and the people who make them.

We strive to sustainably publish compelling, deeply-reported, and fearlessly honest journalism

We’re also a little cheeky.
