This is part of why I'd like to see more local creative scenes with regular meetups and small events that provide an alternative for networking to large, expensive cons.

There is nothing to be gained from purity tests about how your game is too videogamey or boardgamey.

With solidarity, class action lawsuits and strong legislation, they're fighting to protect their livelihoods, and pop culture, from big tech.

I firmly believe, with every single atom of my being, that instead of amplifying unreliable information that discourages helping, our focus as 42 million Americans face hunger must be on providing factual information that enables people to help.
