Tim ClareBoardgame folks: can anyone recommend excellent articles / books / videos where people talk about issues with & experiences of sexism / racism / other related issues of marginalisation when playing tabletop games or roleplaying games? All advice welcome.
matt@TimClare Shelf Stories largely focuses on those concepts as relates to games themselves — so it might not quite fit the bill. But it’s well worth checking out. https://youtube.com/@ShelfStories
Shelf Stories
A channel that tells tales about games, books, and life. I feature videos about culture, history, mental health, and other “above the table issues in the board gaming hobby. I also interview all sorts of folks in the gaming industry. Shelf Stories is your channel for education, inclusion, and compassion in our hobby.
Jane Aerith Magnet-Dale@TimClare I don't know about excellent, but I wrote this about the language used in board game manuals often defaulting to he/him when describing the players.
