It's not just AI-generated art anymore. Now, Agentic AIs are in our emails, and they really really want us to buy their D&D "module." If AI can so easily subvert spam safeguards, it's the beginning of the end for our inboxes.

An “AI Agent” is begging us to buy their D&D module

iLands has been inundating the inboxes of journalists and publications… and now it’s Rascal’s turn to take out the trash.

Rise Up (From the Grave) Comus @riseupcomus.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

In the early D&D, there was a lot of stone soup. Imagine that Star Wars had been out, and someone said "Can I have a lightsaber?" and Gary said "Sure." Imagine you didn't know Star Wars, and thought lightsabers were FROM D&D. Read the Appendix N to learn how much of REFERENCING D&D actually is.

Happy Solo September!!! 🎉 As appreciators (and designers) of solo RPGs, Bri and I wanted to take a minute to shout out our single-player games at the top of the month. We're also celebrating by refreshing our pool of community copies on Itch! Check out the links to each page below 🥳

A mockup of the cover for Terminus, featuring a spectral human outline set against a forested, mountainous landscape. Text reads "A tarot-powered ritual game about the dying ghost of a liminal space."

a cover mockup of I Crave the Loop, showing spilt milk and cereal, with milky pawprints leading away into the dark. Text reads "A snack-powered roguelike about a hungry ghost cat."

A mockup of Crash Café, featuring a green trifold pamphlet RPG with a goblin sipping from a cup of coffee. text reads "A one page game about running a restaurant with your goblin pals."

A cover mockup of Tipsy Whispers, featuring gold foil art nouveau lineart of a woman swirling a drink. text reads "A roll and write game about a secret, magical speakeasy in your home."

System matters in TTRPGs. For example, if you buy DIE RPG, I make money, which definitely matters.

I think it is important for ppl to know about it, so i said my piece. The Rascal article was also really good! But please do not spen all that emotional currency on this game. It actually isnt worth it. There are many many many other games more deserving of your time and energy. Help them!

In which I unbox and review the new (ish) D&D starter set, Heroes of the Borderlands. Does it live up to there legacy of its venerable predecessor? Or is it an offence to the holy memory of E Gary Gygax? The answer may surprise you! idlecartulary.com/2026/06/15/i...

I Read Heroes of the Borderlands

I Read Games reviews are me reading games when I have nothing better to do, like read a module or write or play a game. I don’t seriously believe that I can judge a game without playing it, usually…
