I (finally) wrote a thing! Been a crazy last half a year for me, but that doesn't mean you should sleep on this game if you've been looking for a #ttrpg like this.
Have you ever wanted to play in a high octane, 90s action flick adventure? Do you crave car chases, epic battles, and a plethora of explosions? Adam may have found just the game for you. Our review of the Outgunned #ttrpg by Free League Publishing:

An article about the amazing @arcraiders.bsky.social game, and the spontaneous acts of heroism that you can experience in a genre known for trolling and villainy.
I’ve been enjoying my time teaming up with total strangers to fight back against ARC. I hope others are too.

What happens when you take the extraction shooter genre, infamous for PvP violence, and encourage people to play nice?

…We have so many questions.
With the news about the upcoming release of the expansion, we’re promoting Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria in our excitement!
We've realized that half the appeal of a survival genre game is the setting you are trying to survive in. Maybe that's why we have such love Lord of the Rings: Return to Moria. It's a flawed game with so much charm we can't help but keep digging.

More good news for independent, worker owned media in the gaming space!
A Rascal sister site has launched: @roguesite.bsky.social
Former-Polygon writers have gotten together to launch a worker-owned video game journalism outlet (with a little rascally help).
If you mourned the loss of one site, celebrate the birth of another, and support the people making it happen.
