Just heard #PaxUnplugged is going full Human Made. Proud of em, it's my favorite gaming con. And it's nice to know they'd prefer to present the works of real creative human beings. That's one less sign booths need to make, but if you'd like to anyways, here's a free icon hinokodo.itch.io/human-made

New lil' mini prints of my girls that I'll have at NYCC. Fun fact, I originally wasn't chosen as an artist for MLP and was a writer because my ponies look like llamas. I decided to just lean into the llama and here we are.

Folks tanking the rating for our game (which isn't out yet) because Aragorn is depicted as a Black man. 🫠 But, if nothing else, it's too bad because their anger is gonna prevent them from playing a really awesome board game. It's their loss.

4.8 rating badge from boardgamegeek.com because people are rating it low because our game presents Aragorn as a Black man.

1 ratings have been deleted but it doesn't seem to change the topline rating. It is what it is.

I've heard a lot about "Got Five" (Yoann Levet, Blue Orange) and got the chance to play it during a recent game day. This is on my shortlist to pick up. Accessible logic experience in a relatively small box and a play time that allows players to pick up another round immediately afterwards.

Solidarity with and empathy for the "Cornell Jane Doe." (I, too, am a Doe.) #MeToo #MeTooAcademia

Solidarity with former Cornell University student "Jane Doe.”

School campuses are sexually violent places. From frat houses to English departments, rape culture thrives in colleges and universities - just as it thrives in the world more generally. Too many victims suffer agony, hardship, and even death as a result.

We need rape studies. We need more memoirs by survivors. We need more academic books on rape. We need more classes devoted to the study of rape culture and sexual violence. We need more conferences where those of us who work in these fields can share ideas and build solidarity. We need # MeToo.

By “we” I mean all of us, because rape culture harms everyone - including you.

Grabble is so much FUN!😍 Grab pieces one‑handed into your cup & slap the table. First to slap gets the big pawn. Don't be last! That player gives up a piece. Next, a piece is called out and anyone who doesn’t have it is OUT. Last player standing wins! Fast, fun and no injuries. It's a keeper!
