Great timing for CGE to amplify super-TERF Jay Kay Rowling w/HP Codenames days before heading to GenCon.

For those in Indy, a productive way to counter CGE's online stonewalling of (trans) board gamers & content creators is to visit them in person & respectfully tell them how you feel.

OMG this is incredible—CGE BLOCKED ME!! 🎲✂️

Imagine me: a trans game designer, a fan of their games, being genuinely hurt and disappointed in them producing a new edition of the Harry Potter Codenames game.

AND THEY BLOCKED ME.
My quote reply to CGE’s announcement of the new Harry Potter Codenames edition and they blocked me.

gotta say, when you can't even name the thing or the person that's ... something!

let's make it easy:

1) HP author really doesn't like trans people
2) HP author explicitly states that buying HP stuff (like HP codenames) is an endorsement of her viewpoint
3) HP author funds anti-trans legislation

Happy Juneteenth, OFPG fam!
May this day remind us all of the importance of freedom, equality, and fighting for what's right.

...although the fight still hasn't ended, it's also important to hold fast and never give up! Have a great day! #boardgames #juneteenth
A Juneteenth graphic with Our Family Plays Games' logo at the top, and "Happy Juneteenth 2025" written at the bottom in bold letters and featuring the Juneteenth colors of red, yellow, green, and black, as well as some white for visibility. On the left side of the image is a pattern in the Juneteenth colors styled after traditional African print designs, and on the right side of the image are snippets of a flag in the Juneteenth colors.

Lots of new followers despite barely having time to play games nowadays, let alone post.

Just in case we're pulling followers for the wrong reasons, let's make it clear:

One of the things I keep seeing Americans say is that American soldiers won’t fight Canadians, and one of the things I keep seeing is Americans getting really mad at Canadian boycotts and yelling at Canadians that they hope they get invaded.

Five HP. We were five HP from finally beating the darn Martian Invader in @restorationgames.bsky.social's Unmatched Adventures.

Jeez, it had been nearly four years since we played Calico as a family, although The Kid played digitally w/ @annamariaphelps.bsky.social... whoa, three years ago?!

This is our first family play in a month as life keeps interfering. Mom crushed us.

Mom thinks hard during a play of Calico, a board game where you create quilts for cats to sleep on.

Another PSA to please identify board games you post by name, and to not assume everyone knows them by sight (or can see the image at all).

I don't want to play a home-brew version of Connections whenever I see posts that neither identify the board game nor use Alt Text.
Bernie Sanders "I am once again asking" meme. He stands outside on a suburban street wearing his brown winter jacket. Meme has been repurposed to read: "I am once again asking that board game bluesky use Alt Text when posting board game photos"

Molly House is a strange and meaningful beast, at once a celebration of queer love, a critique of imperial power, and a call to solidarity. More than that, it is a game that can't help but be personally meaningful to the lonesome and tired. My review: spacebiff.com/2025/02/12/m...

K! So! We spent this week figuring out how the tariffs, inflation and other bullshit is going to affect business. Time to thread.

For those not in the know, I'm the Director at Hachette Boardgames USA and I import games for foreign publishers and market and sell them in the US.
