Among many delightful things: Goblin Markets: The Glitter Trade came out in 2011 and cites many pieces of media I loved around that time in its ludography, from Ted Naifeh's Courtney Crumrin comics to Kelly Link's "The Faery Handbag". It even features art by Something Positive's R.K. Milholland!

Of course it’s also possible it was done on purpose, in which case this still would not have occurred to a bad actor to try if the Rascal community press releases were not visually identical to the editorial work

Chloe @ Small Stories @smallstoriesgames.bsky.social · 01/03/2026
Several things can be true at once: - this probably was not on purpose from the MCG team - whoever put this together should have done better due diligence - this might not have happened if Rascal’s community press releases were not presented in visually identical ways to the editorial work

The thing about ebooks as a substitute is that it ignores two major needs of teen readers: autonomy (the ability to get a book without going through parents) and community (the ability to pass a book around to all their friends.)

Five Tiers of RPG Publishing
Hasbro’s annual earnings came out this week, so I took a look. It is truly staggering how much Wizards of the Coast has changed the company since they were acquired; when looking at unadjusted earnings the Wizards of the Coast and Digital Games division was the only one that turned a profit in the entire company. Not only that, but Wizards is responsible for roughly 47% of the entire company’s revenue and over 90% of all revenue growth over the last year.

Exactly. When you play a game you don’t just play rules or a system you also play people and ideas and media and society. System is blurry, games are blurry, play is blurry. All theory can provide is a lens. Long live play. Long live Sonic the Hedgehog.

In 2026 I hope to make a positive difference for how people perceive & talk about fat characters in TTRPGs - Include “no body shaming/fat phobia” in lines and veils. Bring it up in your session zero - Ask artists to give your character a double chin or belly. if it’s not right give clear feedback
