RPS used to have a boardgame column and we still regularly get people asking if they can write about tabletop games for us. There will soon be a better location for that kind of work, however. Gamer Network - the corporate overlords of RPS, Eurogamer, GamesIndustry.biz, and more - are launching a tabletop website and YouTube channel. They're now hiring for all sorts of roles…
As John carefully detailed before his departure, RPS was founded by four freelance writers who were frustrated by the falling rates they were being paid. Though those founders are gone, almost all those of us left behind (abandoned, dirty, grieving) were freelance ourselves at one point or another and have dealt with the same frustrations. So here's a thing: we're increasing our freelance rates. If…
Feature: A thing you should definitely do
Hello! We regularly receive pitches from freelance writers. Many of these pitches are excellent, many of them are bad, and many more forget to include the article idea and just yell at us at length for stopping them from ad blocking on the site. If you're interested in pitching an article of your very own to us, read on, as we're about to explain how…
I have a lot of conversations with a lot of people about what RPS is, and after years of trying to sum up this dumb website, I've settled on using the same answer each time. I say: ask ten people to describe what RPS does, and you'll get ten different answers. One will say we're that website which writes silly, in-jokey nonsense about PC games.…
You might have already heard, but the day is here: today is Alec's last day at RPS. Come say farewell in the comments below, while I pick through my feelings.
EGX Rezzed will be opening its 2019-flavoured doors later this week, and one of the first things you'll be able to do at there is come and hear us chat to developer Blue Manchu about their upcoming strategy shooter, Void Bastards. Taking place at 1pm on Thursday April 4 (tomorrow) over on the main Developer Sessions stage, art director Ben Lee and narrative director (and…
Say hello to Nate Crowley, RPS’s new full time features writer
Much like a football manager (I assume), we here at RPS are always on the look out for fresh talent, especially if that talent a) is a very good features writer and b) you all really liked them and took to the comments to say they were good. So it is my distinct pleasure to reveal that we have hired Nate Crowley full time!
EGX Rezzed 2019: Join us at the RPS Mixer in association with Fishing Cactus
EGX Rezzed is the UK's loveliest gaming event, attended by gaming's loveliest people - and also the staff of RPS. That's why every year we hold the RPS Mixer, as an opportunity for all those lovely people (and also the staff of RPS) to hang, to chat, to prattle and jabber. This year is no different: we've teamed up with developers Fishing Cactus to hold…
EGX Rezzed is filled with indie games, which means it's also filled with indie game developers. It'd be foolish of us not to trap some of those developers onstage and make them share their secrets. That's what Rezzed Sessions are all about: giving you a peek at how games are made and how you might do it yourself, from the graft of starting a studio…
We've posted a lot of job adverts over the past 18 months, for hardware editors and guides writers and video makers. Here's one we haven't posted: RPS is looking for a new staff writer to join our ranks and write fabulous words about PC games. You can leap straight over to the job posting on GI.biz for all the details, or read on for a…
Are you a UK-based video presenter, a crackshot script writer, and able to edit your own videos? Then you might be exactly who we're looking for. The RPS video team have gone from strength to strength in the past year, and now we want to add a new member to the team. Interested? Read on.
Every year in December, the RPS team pick the 24 best games from the previous year. We then reveal those games across the month, one a day, and call it the RPS Advent Calendar. Also every year in December, the Advent Calendar Guessing Game is organised by the fabulous members of the RPS forums, in which readers of RPS trawl through our reviews, features, Twitter…

If you're already a supporter (or if you sign up now), you'll get access to a key for Faeria, the collectible card game that Brendan's review says is "more interesting" than vanilla Hearthstone and "many times more thoughtful than Duelyst."

Hello! Why yes, something has changed - thank you for noticing. We're so excited to finally show you our new-look website. RPS's design hasn't changed much over the past five years, and in the five years before that it never received much more than an occasional nip and tuck. The result was a website design that we loved like an old friend, but which didn't…
Since its inception Rock Paper Shotgun has run on Wordpress, a blogging platform built upon the very best web technologies available in 2003. That could soon change with your help. Gamer Network - the corporate overlords that own us, Eurogamer, VG247 and more - are looking for backend web developers to help unify the sites onto a single new platform. If that sounds interesting to…
