Welcome to another episode of Reckless A-Talk, our TTRPG interview show where we sit down with some of our favorite writers, players, GMs, and streamers to get to know a little bit more about what makes them who they are.We are very frick-frackin excited to present to you this very good and fun and perhaps even educational episode, as we got to chat with TTRPG creator, charity streamer, adventure writer, and generally cool person JesTheHuman.Jes is probably most known for their regular charity game streams, where they have played with multiple scores of different TTRPG folks and raised multiple thousands of dollars over the last two years.They are also a writer of D&amp;D adventures including “A Murder in Mossbank,” a murder mystery one shot featured in Dragon magazine’s online edition, as well as whole TTRPGs like the very wild Uncaging Nicolas, the multiversal adventure game Nathan got to GM and playtest on Jes’s stream a little while ago.As of this recording, their latest charity TTRPG bundle “TTRPGs for Palestine” is live on Tiltify, so please find a link to all of that great work and more in the episode description and support their efforts as best you can.In this episode we get into their personal and professional fundraising passion, the details of putting together a charity event, how to safely put a table of strangers together for a game, bullshitting your way through, the benefits of being just a silly lil guy, and lots more.As always if you enjoy this episode please go check out some of our other Reckless A-Talk interviews and maybe even our actual play episodes.Thank you for listening!—Edited by Nathan Lurz—<a href="https://linktr.ee/jesthehuman" rel="nofollow">https://linktr.ee/jesthehuman</a>TTRPGs for Palestine bundle (through May 7, 2024): <a href="https://tiltify.com/@jesthehuman/ttrpgs-for-palestine" rel="nofollow">https://tiltify.com/@jesthehuman/ttrpgs-for-palestine</a> <a href="https://jesthehuman.itch.io/" rel="nofollow">https://jesthehuman.itch.io/</a> Uncaging Nicolas Playtest: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TjJYJBV5Y8" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TjJYJBV5Y8</a> Monster of the Week fundraiser stream: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9B5h9OK12Y" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9B5h9OK12Y</a> Other VODs: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@jesthehuman" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/@jesthehuman</a> A Murder in Mossbank: <a href="https://www.dmsguild.com/product/303409/A-Murder-in-Mossbank--A-One-Shot-Whodunit-Murder-Mystery" rel="nofollow">https://www.dmsguild.com/product/303409/A-Murder-in-Mossbank--A-One-Shot-Whodunit-Murder-Mystery</a>

The Guilders, in an attempt to get the stars to align in their favor, enact a daring plan to get Quincy and Violet together as quickly as possible.  Unfortunately, while the “Cliff’s Notes” version will give you the main plot points, some skipped details could cause other, unforeseen problems. <a href="https://rebrand.ly/9tx3hfh" rel="nofollow">https://www.recklessattack.com</a>Want to hang out with other fans?<a href="https://discord.gg/QsQA2MnRRv" rel="nofollow">Join us on Discord!</a>Like the show?

Hello listeners! Welcome to another episode of Reckless A-Talk, our TTRPG interview show where we sit down with some of our favorite writers, players, GMs, and streamers to get to know a little bit more about what makes them who they are. I am as always your host GM Nathan, and I’m so excited to be back for our first full episode of 2024, PARTICULARLY with this wonderful and DARE I SAY NEWSWORTHY interview. I got to once again be a huge nerd about tabletop games AND about journalism, as I got to enjoy a very fun, very thought-provoking chat with co-founder of TTRPG news outlet Rascal Rowan Zeoli. Rowan is one of the big, independent news voices in the space, with phenomenal work done particularly in the review and interview spheres. In this episode, we talk a lot about her experiences doing both for Rascal, a new independent, reader-supported, worker-owned outlet covering tabletop games and shows. But we also talk a lot about identity, creativity, the twists and turns of life, collaborative critique, and what journalism as a service means. Most interestingly and refreshingly, we talked a LOT about the importance of news coverage and critical review in the tabletop and actual play world. Rowan just has some really wonderful perspectives and is so clearly a very thoughtful AND funny person, so this was frankly a very easy interview to conduct because talking to cool people is easy and good and fun turns out. Before I throw you to the episode, I want to do a small appeal to everyone listening. I was a hyper-local journalist for many years, and I cannot stress enough how important I personally believe small outlet journalism is to the world. Please find outlets in your hometowns, outlets that cover things you care about, and other people doing the hard work of shining a spotlight where there is darkness. And then, if you’re able, pay them money to keep doing what they’re doing, or at least subscribe to newsletters and otherwise vote with your dollars and attention. Anyway, that’s enough from me - as always if you enjoy this episode please go check out our other Reckless A-Talk interviews and maybe even our actual play episodes. We have links to all the stuff we talk about in the episode in the show notes including lots of links to Rowan’s journalism. With that - I’ll see you next time! — Edited by Nathan Lurz Rascal: <a href="https://www.rascal.news" rel="nofollow">https://www.rascal.news</a> Selected Rowan work:Queer Dungeons &amp; Transgender Dragons: Exploring Gender Through Imagined Worlds: <a href="https://www.autostraddle.com/queer-trans-dungeons-and-dragons/" rel="nofollow">https://www.autostraddle.com/queer-trans-dungeons-and-dragons/</a>   <a href="https://www.rascal.news/d-ds-short-lived-latam-ambassador-program/" rel="nofollow">https://www.rascal.news/d-ds-short-lived-latam-ambassador-program/</a> <a href="https://www.rascal.news/what-is-the-future-of-dimension-20/" rel="nofollow">https://www.rascal.news/what-is-the-future-of-dimension-20/</a> <a href="https://www.rascal.news/marvels-giant-sized-special-is-a-super-powered-ad-in-an-actual-play-mask/" rel="nofollow">https://www.rascal.news/marvels-giant-sized-special-is-a-super-powered-ad-in-an-actual-play-mask/</a> <a href="https://www.rascal.news/faster-purple-worm-kill-kill-is-your-improv-uncles-new-favorite-actual-play/" rel="nofollow">https://www.rascal.news/faster-purple-worm-kill-kill-is-your-improv-uncles-new-favorite-actual-play/</a>  Harlem Hellfighters Never Die: <a href="https://www.queenscourt.games/streaming/harlem-hellfighters-never-die?ref=rascal.news" rel="nofollow">https://www.queenscourt.games/streaming/harlem-hellfighters-never-die</a>WriteHive: <a href="https://writehive.org" rel="nofollow">https://writehive.org</a>

The Guilders devise a plan for identifying and getting the two books that are SUPPOSEDLY in this section of the Agmar Library. But the thing about plans is… no plan survives first contact. And very few plans have had to deal with the game show section of the city library. <a href="https://rebrand.ly/9tx3hfh" rel="nofollow">https://www.recklessattack.com</a>Want to hang out with other fans?<a href="https://discord.gg/QsQA2MnRRv" rel="nofollow">Join us on Discord!</a>Like the show?

Hey everyone, welcome to the first episode of our new side-series, Reckless Adjacent!. In this series, we&#39;re going to be trying out some new games and giving you all a taste of what they&#39;re about. This time, we&#39;re playing 13th Age, a d20-based fantasy game that was created by the designers of D&amp;D 3e and 4e, and was described to me as a middle ground between D&amp;D 5e and Pathfinder.This episode will be the only episode available on our main feed, but the rest of the adventure, along with our Session 0, can be found on our Patreon at Patreon.com/recklessattack.
