Actual Play: The First 30 Minutes (My First Dungeon: Orbital Blues) with Rowan Zeoli — Dice Exploder
Listen to this episode here.It's a new series on Dice Exploder all about actual play.

We cover an overview of actual play as a medium and the current state of the scene, we dig deep into the fine line this medium walks between fiction and nonfiction, and then we g...
Rowan Zeoli Loves and Is Critical of Her Hobby, So You Can Be Too! — Multitude
How do you keep a separation between journalism and marketing when writing about a niche? Rowan can help you with that, like she did at Rascal for tabletop roleplaying games."I graduated high school into Donald Trump's election and then I graduated college into the pandemic. Every major life milestone that I've had has been disrupted by some big unprecedented event. And I'm like, all right, well, I guess everything's gonna burn. So I might as well build something up from the ashes while it's bur...

Why We Roll × Rascal News
Join us as we chat with Rowan Zeoli—indy journalist extraodinaire and co-founder of the independent TTRPG news site, Rascal News—about the state of the industry, how Rascal got started, why independent TTRPG journalism matters. (Spoiler—it really matters.) https://www.rascal.news

Why We Roll, the TTRPG design podcast by the Stillfleet Studio, is a streaming show and podcast about designing tabletop roleplaying games (TTRPGs) hosted by Christopher Pickett (Danse Macabre: Medieval Horror Roleplaying) and Wythe Marschall (Stillfleet, PICARO!).
Chris and Wythe host in-depth conversations with professional game designers and other relevant experts on contemporary indie TTRPGs (writers, artists, graphic and layout artists, voice talent, and others). Why We Roll focuses on designers who share a broadly Leftist ideological bent. The hosts occasionally run actual-play sessions and offer behind-the-scenes looks at the games they’re developing.
Why We Roll is fun and practical in tone, combining the benefits of an informal professional chat with an advice show. Chris and Wythe are to TTRPGs what Click and Clack are to cars: passionate, funny, knowledgeable but always excited to learn. The hosts take a sensitive, curious, ecumenical approach to game design, informed by years of work on their own games.
Topics covered to date include game-design inspirations and best practices, the politics of games, narrative structures, illustrating game concepts, GMing, cards as mechanics, game conventions, games and education, eco-catastrophes, epic powers and “boss fights,” espionage in games, faction rules, genres, “medieval” settings, hit points versus wounds, “madness” rules, safety at the table, solo RPGs, the OSR and NSR, what makes a game a game, what makes a system a system, the business of indie RPGs, and so much more!
Through the show, Chris and Wythe hope to amplify new creative voices, connect with leading indie designers, and work through a range of mechanical and narrative questions that are pertinent to many designers, players, and GMs. Why We Roll is both entertainment and part of a longstanding tradition of “showing our homework” in the indie TTRPG community. We showcase of fresh and even challenging ideas about what makes imagination-based games so powerful.
Why We Roll is (usually) recorded in Brooklyn and Queens.

Revolutionary Reporting | Rascal News in Conversation with Jordan Sorcery
Rowan Zeoli and Caeylin Ellis of the independent tabletop gaming news site Rascal join Jordan to chat about the founding of the site, taking games journalism seriously, and the future of gaming.
Rascal News was founded a year ago by 3 tabletop journalists who had worked for Polygon, Dicebreaker, Gizmodo, and I09. As those organisations have been shuttering their tabletop news coverage and firing professional journalists Rascal has sought to create an online space that is tackling major news stories across the tabletop industry.
From the major business moves of massive companies like Hasbro Wizards of the Coast and Games Workshop to the smaller scale stories like union workers striking at Vallejo paints, and plenty of stuff in between, Rascal is looking to become a bastion of independent, honest journalism.

Above the Table w/ Rowan Zeoli - "How To Get Them To Talk About Your Thing"
Journalists, influencers, and reviewers play an outsized role in the attention economy. And just like you, they're over-scheduled, sitting on a too-full email inbox, and struggling to decide what to play next. In this episode, Rascal News co-founder and prolific TTRPG journalist Rowan Zeoli discusses the steps you can take to get your project to the top of the list. What goes in a press release?

Mattsplaining - TTRPGs and Actual Plays
Matt Storrs provides his questionable and inspired basis is for his Dungeons and Dragons and Index Card RPG characters. Comedian, Table Top Role Playing Game/actual play journalist, and expert Rowan Zeoli (linktr.ee/rowanzeoli) dives into what Matt espoused about the Satanic Panic and and the economic support of lead based companies. Matt reveals the best TTRPG to play if you're looking to learn how to flirt.
Matt uses the most effective alignment chart: the Brady Bunch. How many people forget about the episodes where Bobby tried to sacrifice his fellow students. Plus, how table top RPGs can be used as therapy and collaborative creativity. Rowan teaches Matt the word "malapropism" and there's a surprising revelation about James Franco.
