So wish we could go, Orca Con was super fun last year!

It was close @levimote.bsky.social!

Look at the turn out here! Welcome to Bluesky, for those of you new to the party. Lovely to see you all :)

Boardgame friends! I have a quick question for you about rulebooks. Can you tell me one thing you look for in a quality rulebook and one thing you can't stand in poorly written rulebooks? If you have more to say on the topic, please feel free to message me.

📣 2024 Featured Speaker: Sarah is the owner of Creator's Companion freelance editing services and more. She is an editor and writer of rulebooks, RPGs, and genre fiction. She is also a roleplayer, boardgamer, bookworm, foodie. #GenCon #GenCon2024 #GCWS

Proud to announce that I will be a panelist at this year's symposium. Can't wait to see you all there! @genconwriters.org

📣 Announcing our Featured Speakers for 2024 - we will be celebrating each over the next few days - let us know who you’re excited to see this year in Indy! ✨ genconwriters.org/guests/ #GenCon #GenCon2024 #GCWS

@phantommeeple.bsky.social Any chance you’re interested being a panelist for the Gamestorm convention in Portland? End of March? If so, let’s chat.

@marcusross.bsky.social let’s have a chat about Gamestorm!

This was surprising to me. I knew Funko wasn't doing great but I hadn't expected Goliath.

Gamestorm, March 21-24 in Portland, Oregon, is actively seeking BIPOC members of the boardgame community to be panelists this year. They want a diverse and inclusive lineup of speakers. If you are interested, please email me and I will connect you. It's a blast and we could play all the games!

I should clarify, please email me. Not PM (duh Sarah, lol).

Hello all! ISO of a book cover artist for a lightly spicy urban fantasy with a mythical creature bend. The author's budget is $300. Please PM me for more information if interested.

As the mother of a person on disability for life, this is a huge deal. It's already a travesty the breadcrumbs the government expects those on disability to live on, and then to take it away because they want to marry or manage to save some money. Please read and lend your support.

Others have said it better than me. But Killers of the Flower Moon is not FOR the Osage people or even Natives more broadly. It's FOR white people. White people need to watch the film. Watch and learn.
