Rascal is a lifeline for me, and it is because of the subs that I was able to do some really cool work for the TTRPG space. Please consider tossing a coin or two if you can afford it!

Adobe InDesign’s generative AI feature is a sneaky, unhelpful mess, says tabletop designers“I won't ever trust Adobe to roll out new features without defaulting them to enabled.”www.rascal.newsSingaporeans - our govt is planning to mow down parts of Maju Forest, a place that's home to several ENDANGERED species, to make way for new houses.

Why is everyone talking about Maju Forest?The mature forest has been marked for development – here’s what people are saying.www.timeout.comHere's a perfectly regular review of an almost perfect game, which is Moss: The Forgotten Relic report.wand.com/reviews/moss...

I appreciate the consideration to cultural sensitivities when talking about a Chinese game! Homophobia, however, is ultimately bad no matter where it stems from

Just read this piece and it's outstanding writing that speaks to the collective anger we have against Microsoft. Microsoft is *bad* at videogames if it can destroy legacies so quickly, so easily.
Wes FenlonWhat Microsoft did to id Software this week was a tragedy -- a failure to safeguard the lives of its workers. But it was also a telling failure of vision to have *that* legacy in your hands and to discard it like so much nothing
Super swell that this is up! For Design Room I delved into Inscryption's spooky music with Daniel Mullins and his frequent collaborator, Jonah Senzel

Hey there! If you're a TTRPG designer who found that their work has been messed up by Adobe's AI alt-text (or any other weird AI features they injected to their software that nobody wants), hit me up please! kheehoon (at) rascal.news
Evil HatNote: We do not use AI. Period. We pay humans to create our games, end-to-end. Adobe recently implemented a feature that quietly injected AI alt text into Umdaar. We've removed it, updated the PDF, and disabled the feature. We apologize for the error, please download the latest PDF. Also: Fuck AI.
