It's become hugely dispiriting how frequently I'm having to contact other tabletop news sites asking that they -please- cite BoardGameWire as the source of the story they've just directly lifted, slightly reworded or run through ChatGPT before slapping it on their site without attribution.

Sony court take on ownership is the "let them eat cake" of modern days. I think it's time to revisit French revolution.

@edwinet.bsky.social hope you feel better soon! In the meantime, I can offer my grim dawn character to the maw.

Just bought Horses to support a great studio (also one of the most bold and courageous here in Italy) and to fight against this Puritan censorship going around in the gaming industry and more broadly in our whole society. Fight fascism every day. www.horses.wtf/BannedFromSt...

I have written a new blog about what an OSR is. I am told there is a lot of discourse about this, but am confident that this should settle the matter once and for all. thegardenbelow.blot.im/what-is-an-osr

I am extremely cross about this behaviour. Steam continues to arbitrarily censor people for spurious reasons - even NO given reason - and leave developers no recourse

Never underestimate the power of leaving a positive comment/review on a piece of art/media you like is This week has been rough, but I got a really lovely heartfelt comment on my old slice of life/escapism game They Live Here Now and now I'm feeling a little less alone 💜 Kind words have power ⭐

First time building gunplas with @mlemcorice.bsky.social, lot of fun, more than what I was expecting at the start. Might go buy new ones sooner than anticipated 😅

Two posing gunplas, one red, black and gold with a shield and a rifle, the other one is white, blue, red and yellow with a katana and a rifle.

To clarify: a huge THANK YOU to everyone who's come out in support and solidarity over this CGE/HP issue. I didn't expect much, let alone CGE feeling it in their wallet so soon to have to follow up with another mealy-mouth non apology. The lesson here: cis folks in board games, KEEP SHOWING UP

By that I mean: trans people have been banging the drum since 2018, w/JKR and other trashbags and bad actors in the board game space. And they can't do it alone. For true allyship to work, cis folks have to care about & support trans people as much as they care about and support non-trans people.

this is not to say that banning porn games isn't a stepping stone to banning non-sexual queer content: it definitely is. but it would be nice if we could actually hold solidarity with porn creators, instead of only caring when we think things we like might be affected.

So world athletics will introduce a mandatory genetic test for women athletes. We've come a long way around but finally we have eugenics too. Sometimes I think nazis have won more than we care to admit.

During Gen Con, I will have 250 of these zines with me. The goal is to inform normies about what’s going on with CGE and a call to action to join the blacklist. No buying, pitching, or covering CGE games until they give the community a proper apology and response on how they plan to make good. 🎲✂️

A spontaneous rally for free Palestine just formed outside my building. This is highly unusual for any small city in Italy, let aside a periphery of said city, and it's even very Christian / right aligned. I'm very impressed but also touched. I'm regaining faith in humanity. Free Palestine!

I've just discovered that I'm also blocked by the person running recommend.games and they have blocked a bunch of other queer folks? Someone knows something about that person or just transphobes coming out the sewers?

Marta @luna-storta.bsky.social · 27/07/2025

So Codenames (and thus CGE) has blocked me, a Trans developer and designer, because I had the nerves to send them the two replies you find below. Judge for yourself if these are worth a ban. This is their way of dealing with empathy and care in this ongoing conversation.

This is so true. Here in Europe, especially south/east countries, we struggle a lot with taking a stance, affirm values and hold true to these. It's like we always think everything is an exaggeration and end up just not doing anything socially. And this is not only boardgame related, it's cultural.

Any politician that throws Palestinians under the bus, will throw transgender people under the bus, will throw queer people under the bus, and people with disabilities, people of colour, women, the poor, the elderly - whichever group they can scapegoat will be next when the old one is exterminated.

I finally rolled credits on Blue Prince. My opinion is the same of 10 play-hours ago: I'm conflicted. I wished to love it more, but I cannot say it hasn't left a mark. There are still a lot of mysteries to figure out which feels to me more interesting than the main resolution. Will see how it goes.

I wrote about this a bit in my last book but it really shakes me that a defining feature of this catastrophic era is that we just keep going to work. We work through pandemics, we work through natural disasters, we work through economic calamity, we work through coups, we work, we work, we work.

Board games, as most media, are inherently political. The theme and setting, the manner in which (characters, names, visual representation) you present the content, the way you message it, and the things you leave out... all cultural and political. Being unwilling to recognize that is a you problem.

One of the things I missed out most about Twitter was content from queer/marginalized designers, glad I've found back that here on bsky. I left Twitter when it became the transphobic shithole that is still to this day, I finally feel in a safer space. Thank you all for caring about this place.
