"Wicked" Tabletop Games with which to Loathe Each Other
YouTube video by A.A. Voigt
youtu.be
My latest video is a brief overview of some duet games I think slot well into comparisons of Wicked! This is unabashedly an algorithm play, but I still shout out "Tangled Blessings," "Break Up on ReEntry," "A Knife to Your Throat," "Soft Shell," and "It's Been a Long Time Coming."

a type of content that makes me want to launch myself into space and is huge part of why everything is so bad: TikToker goes down a “rabbit hole,” makes 9-minute video. The “rabbit hole” was she found an Eater article. The Eater journalist did all the work: www.tiktok.com/t/ZTruBS8cp/
allow me to take you on a journey where, once again, we learn we have no idea what’s in our food. at least we know corporations are pure of heart so I’m sure it’s fine🫶🏼🤡

I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that Rascal is the most important source of tabletop news in the hobby. If you can afford to subscribe, I highly recommend you do! My upcoming big video draws HEAVILY on the work of Rascal journalists, and would be much worse without their reporting
At this moment, we have 2430 paid subscribers. Can we get 2500 by the end of 2025? You can subscribe right now for only $1, and support independent tabletop games journalism.
New subscriptions to Rascal News will be rising by $1 in 2026. If you've been waiting to support us, we're currently running a holiday sale where the first two months of our entry tier is only $1/month!
Independent journalism on the cheap? Yippee-Ki-Yay, Anklebiters!

I think it would be fun if writers who love language started intentionally writing more strangely as AI flattens written "content" into a mono-voice. it would cool I think if writers responded by focusing their individual efforts on cultivating a really unique voice that's hard to copy

Working on a thought-tool called "stupid drunk guy in a bar". Works like this: If the take you're responding to is essentially being mumbled by a clearly very stupid drunk guy in the bar you're at, is it worth starting a big public discussion with him?
Today we've decided to center:
- some genre author with fewer than 2k followers who said something insipid about an industry where he has no relevant experience or connection
- a Cato Institute ghoul with the handle "normative" and a substack smugly saying we need to be more serious about eugenics

Breaking News: A federal vaccine committee voted to end the decades-long recommendation that all newborns be immunized at birth against hepatitis B, a highly infectious virus that leads to chronic liver disease in most infected children.
An End to Hepatitis B Shots for All Newborns
A federal panel voted on Friday to recommend halting the at-birth shots for all infants, in a step toward Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s goal of upending the nation’s vaccine policy.

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

I have gotten on these exactly once in my life and the satisfaction dissolves like cotton candy on the tongue. Not for nothing i have multiple games acting as Notes To Self to find fulfillment in the process and not the result
gentle reminder that just because something you made didn't make a "best of" "year end" list doesn't mean you didn't make anything important in 2025

Why is the hepatitis B birth dose vaccine so important? Because it gives your baby protection when they need it most.
Let’s talk about it – and why delaying the vaccine could result in serious risks.👇🧵
