@ttchelps.bsky.social what queens park elevator is out? This is clearly wrong on your sure there is no Eglington at queens park.

Great solo play-through of Personal Demons from @boardgaymesjames.com! With an immediate Hocus Pocus reference at the jump, I approve. youtu.be/ZxJFoVpSqBc?...

@bgstatsapp.bsky.social I imported my bga today and it erased the jar 3 days of data :(

Updated just now with wider exclusion of online games, and the Community screen now is more clear and Top 10 bgwrapped.boardgaymesjames.com/boardgaymesj...

@rottentomatoes.com why can't I review movies that are at film festivals?

I just backed Marsh Hallow on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/mar...

Anyone know what reserve means in big stats list? @bgstatsapp.bsky.social

As Frankenstein one of the top movies I want to see says "ITS ALIVE" You can now plan out your @tiffnet.bsky.social #tiff50 #tiff25 experience! tiff25.onrender.com This is all saved local so only on one device, the timeline works best on iPad and larger screens.

TIFFR is MIA, so I am working on making a @tiffnet.bsky.social planner, it's almost done! #TIFF25 #TIFF50

Anyway - if you're not comfortable with loud and messy protests and activism around inclusive gaming... I suggest you try to remember where it's coming from. Your discomfort at the protest is far less than the discomfort of those suffering at the hands of systemic bigotry, harassment, and exclusion.

Does this board game bag contain treats? Paw means no

Wrote a piece over on Board Game Geek about my experience over the last week with all the CGE stuff and some of the hurtful comments I got, then just imagine what trans people have faced this last week :( boardgamegeek.com/thread/35527...

The new @paverson.bsky.social game is here!!! boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/45... #boardgames

This was shared on BGG in the CGE HP Forum and I really like this longer form explanation of the paradox of tolerance, and why it is important to indeed use the tactics they've always used on us, on them. werd.io/leaving-the-...

May the responses on CGEs post make you realize what we queers have said all along. This hobby has a lot of work to do to truly be inclusive and welcoming to non cis white males. #boardgames

Progress, and truth I am one of those persons they are working with.

If you were blocked by the @codenamesgame.bsky.social account I did a data analysis and indeed this looks to have been an automated process, likely they were subscribed to a moderation list that users were added to and auto blocked. Or they have their moderation settings set too high in bluesky.

I have been contacted by someone at CGE on how they can tackle the issue. They are indeed under a gag order from IP holders, and allegedly many in the Czech republic are/were unaware of how awful JK Rowling is and what she does with HP royalties.

Defending CGE/HP IP, is not neutral. You are choosing to protect a brand and a license that directly funnels money to someone who uses it to harm trans people. The USA and EU are 70% of the global #boardgame market. This is where the money comes from. This is where the pressure has to come from too

For the past 6 months CGE has been a sponsor of The Cabal and it's been great. I love their games and the people I've worked with have been awesome but in light of their recent bullshit, I can't in good conscience continue our relationship and chose not to renew our contract.

Here are 10 magical #boardgames that aren’t Harry Potter boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/361...

The thing about #accessibility that bothers me the most is that when I reach out to Con's and other #boardgame related folks it's always a "let me help YOU" instead of change the design so everyone can access accommodations without having to do the self-advocacy. Accessible design is good for all.

I wanted to share a few thoughts recent discussions around CGE’s decision to partner with JKR for their upcoming @codenamesgame.bsky.social game have prompted. Thankful to those who spoke early to this issue (Marceline, Tiffany, @nopunincluded.com et al) for helping this get the needed attention.

Y'all I didn't know some of you stream! What's your Twitch'es witches!?

Gosh it must be nice to just enjoy your hobby without it being interrupted by “politics”. It’s not politics for us, it’s our lived experiences we don’t get the escape you do because you refuse to “be political” #boardgames

If you grew up with HP, if you love HP, if it's a special interest, etc, I have empathy for that. I would deeply encourage no new purchases, though.

JKR is funding life-destroying legislation. When you license HP and put it on your product, the money you pay to do that is literally ruining lives. This isn't ambiguous, it is direct, measurable harm. I will never give a penny to a company who chooses money over the lives of my friends.

I've now added trailers to my little #tiff50 planner app tiff25.onrender.com @tiffnet.bsky.social #tiff #tiff25 #filmfestival

tiff25.onrender.com Updated, Midnight Madness added. Updates: To Victory - Image Swiped - Desc Sacrafice - Desc Retreat - Language Monkey in a Cage - Image Fuze - Desc Babystar - Image As We Breath - Image @tiffnet.bsky.social #tiff50 #tiff #tiffto #toronto #filmfest

I am nerd hear me roar, made a small @tiffnet.bsky.social app to mark the current released films as favourites until TIFFr gets up and running tiff25.onrender.com

I'm not here much, anyone going to #ukge2025?

Latest #nvidia driver just knocked out my entire pc can’t boot.

#boardgames that is all

Good. stonemaiergames.com/we-are-suing...

Advanced polls are busy this morning!

YouTube shorts is now bringing in double the views of my tiktok, it’s not even banned anymore but that and the protrump support the CEO is giving seems to have sent ppl away.

Change of plans Steve isn’t feeling well so no stream today as I dont have anything solo prepared.

Today we're playing Studies in Sorcery from @weirdgiraffegames.com and Leaf from @weirdcitygames.bsky.social it's going to be a "weird" Saturday! boardgamegeek.com/live

Wana know why #diversity and #accessibility in #boardgames matters? Just look how many comments have been deleted by BGG mods on my post I shared here yesterday boardgamegeek.com/thread/34935...

Wooooooo

Oops I did it again lol

If board games are your escape and lately that space feels heavier, that discomfort is real. It’s okay to want a break from the world. (1/6)

Board game groups keep saying “No Politics”. These aren’t distractions they’re part of the hobby. The problem isn’t the topic, it’s the trolling. Moderate that. If your community grew, your mod team should’ve too. Let people be angry. Don’t silence discussion moderate the hate or step down.

104% pass that shit on. Your backers are not all liberal, look at your comments section on tariff updates they’re pro trump its gross. Sorry, not sorry but if you want to keep making games you need to pass it all on. Tell them how to contact their representatives for the non pro tarrif folk.

Interesting stuff very accurate lol #boardgames What's yours? apps.quanticfoundry.com/s/mnd44s/

Good ol @gamefound.bsky.social moderation at its best.

Live now playing galactic cruise from @kinsonkeygames.bsky.social twitch.com/boardgaymesj...
