  • Rascal is THE gaming news source

    Rascal is a PHENOMENAL news organization for gaming and TTRPGs and often shares an interesting perspective that I hadn’t considered and hadn’t heard elsewhere. The Rascal Radio Hour is a great extension of their already excellent reporting.

  • Rascal Radio Hour, the new podcast from the team at Rascal News, provides an excellent critical look at the tabletop industry, from RPGs to Actual Play podcasts to Wargaming and more. If you care about tabletop game design and the news of this often bizarre industry, you need to be listening to these journalists' voices. The podcast both stands alone as an explainer and source of news and insightful commentary, and also provides important supplementary material of their stellar journalism.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 15: Soft Moves and Soft Power
Q: Could TTRPGs become more mainstream despite D&D's influence?
D&D remains popular and these new games will likely attract players from D&D's audience, expanding the market rather than replacing it.
Episode 15: Soft Moves and Soft Power
Q: Are these awards really meaningful in the tabletop RPG community?
All awards tend to be popularity contests, but they can serve as a mark of legitimacy for the industry.
Episode 12: Laissez-UNfaire
Q: Do you foresee creators leveraging more unique monetization strategies or simply cutting their prices just to see people playing their games?
I think we're going to see a big shift to digital in terms of like PDFs and a rise in people making time to play games together, because it's all about escapism during tough times.
Episode 10: Don't Upset The Furries
Q: What's the pettiest thing you've ever done in a tabletop RPG?
The hosts recount various instances of their amusingly petty behaviors in role-playing games, including sabotaging fellow players and manipulating in-game dynamics for personal vendettas.
Episode 10: Don't Upset The Furries
Q: What do you make of Wizards of the Coast making moves to get back into publishing more campaign settings?
The hosts express skepticism about whether this is a genuine effort to diversify D&D's offerings or simply a way to draw players back who miss older settings.
