Analog Game Studies had a strong showing at The Strong -- We held a roundtable about our origins and what an open-access, curated, BIPOC-centered academic games journal looks like.

There are MANY journals in analog game studies, & journals that publish on AP! And you're in luck: @analoggamestudies.bsky.social virtual conference Generation Analog are on YouTube, where designers and academics and more share their insights and hang out together: www.youtube.com/@analoggames...

The website is restored and up! Go read your fave article and maybe a new one? analoggamestudies.org

It's grant-writing & course prep season for many of us in the analog games community, which of course means that AGS would be taken offline by a substantial cyberattack, depriving us all of crucial scholarship for our proposals and syllabi. We are working to restore the site as quickly as possible.

@analoggamestudies.bsky.social has its own Wikipedia entry now! Woo! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analog_... #GameStudies #BoardGames #NerdyAcademics

I referenced a "purple breakdancing book" in my keynote for the conference run by @analoggamestudies.bsky.social ... Edmond found the book and sent it to me. Overflowing with gratitude and emotion to have this piece of my childhood. Thank you!!!!

My article "The Separation of Analog and Digital Game Studies" has now been published as part of this mammoth 781-page edited volume Historiographies of Game Studies. Congrats to the editors and fellow authors for getting this into the world! punctumbooks.com/titles/histo...

Fresh off of @analoggamestudies.bsky.social's #GenerationAnalog2025, I wonder what'll be on the docket for @MoPOP's "Your Turn! Roll the Dice. Build the World. Make Your Move." www.mopop.org/events/table...
