Cishet white male aspiring card and board game designer. I'm sorry.

Black lives matter.

This is probably my favorite holiday song, about awkward family dinners!

So if I'm searching a handle on another instance and can't find it, that means my instance doesn't speak to the other instance (or vice versa), correct?

And the simplest resolution is to migrate instances?

Here's some pics from Cleveland playtesting night at Tabletop Cafe. Low turnout as we approach the holidays, but one new face as well.
I kind of relapsed to the bird site for a while, but it's an ethical wasteland right now. 2nd attempt to change my habits in Mastodon's direction!

Just in case anyone on this server is in the Cleveland OH area, our local playtesting night is thursday, 11/17 at Tabletop Cafe, 6:30pm EST!

Anyone have a good following list for people in board games that are NOT on Tabletop.social? No need to transcribe the list, I'll do the work from your profile!

Going to try a thing: white guys, please boost!!

Comment here if you're: queer and/or BIPOC and you are interested in talking about #TTRPGs #GameDesign #LARP or #games #art so we can create some discoverability for marginalized folks trying to find community with each other

I'll start! I'm a queer trans nb person who designs and publishes tabletop games and LARPs about gender and queerness. My jam lately has been happy games about queer people finding love and community

My advice to new game designers: design lots of games. I recently looked through some of my ideas and prototypes from the past 17 years that didn't make the cut. But enough of them did to keep me churning out new ideas, prototypes, and the occasional published game: https://youtu.be/nFFbLLI6Myg

I guess I should do a formal #introduction. I'm Steven, I live in the Cleveland, Ohio, USA area. I love board games, and like to design them and mostly fail to convince others to publish them. Never really fell into the TTRPG habit, but would like to some day.

I believe diversity is vital for the health of every community. I believe representation absolutely matters. I hope to meet a wide range of people in this space, and become better for it.

Please tell me when I screw up!
