Celebrated cheese day, I mean @cardboardtime.bsky.social’s birthday, last night!

Consider it prep for the cheesy goodness awaiting us at PaxU!

I’m thrilled to share we have a special video going through *every* game at the 2025 Indie Games Night Market (at PaxU)!
We’re working with @dnlnwmn.bsky.social, some awesome designers, playing some games, all to give you a thorough set of previews & reviews to see the games you won’t want to miss~

Indie Games Night Market — New Mill Industries

Many games available at the event are made by creators self-publishing for the first time.

Indie Games Night Market is incredible for indie makers to lower the barriers to game publication.

There will be true, one-of-a-kind items that never get printed again. It’s an event you won’t want to miss!

If anyone tells you that you can't become your authentic self and be truly happy, they're full of it.

Charlie had a big weekend, must’ve been some party! @cardboardtime.bsky.social

It's a basic point, but one that needs to be repeated:

If right-wingers and their views were popular, they would not be so desperate to control mass media & social media nor to use government power to silence everyone else, and they wouldn't need oligarchs pumping billions into amplifying them.

The Personal, Political Art of Board-Game Design What can board games say that other art forms can’t?

Amabel Holland has designed board games that tackle the struggle to end slavery, women’s suffrage, and the highly personal topic of gender transition, referring to them as “political art.” What can board games say that other art forms can’t?

A sweet baby who just wants to have breakfast with his friends.

My favorite bit

Gavin Newsom suggesting that 25 years of age is too young to transition and agreeing to right-wing entryism of concern trolling about trans people in sports. This is your opposition leader?

I will never vote for Gavin Newsom anyone who thinks trans people are actual humans will follow suit.

The leadership of the Tabletop Game Designers Association was disappointed to see the publisher CGE touting Codenames: Back to Hogwarts, a new Harry Potter-themed version of Codenames.

I’m a little sad to be skipping GenCon this year. I could’ve been a menace to those TERFs.

CGE | Why we created the new licensed version of Codenames

This woman actively funds programs aimed at ending my existence, which CGE will now indirectly help fund. She certainly has no empathy for me. Pardon me if my community's fight to survive interrupts your enjoyment of your "magical world". 😮‍💨

Board Game publishers claiming that inclusivity is a priority without throwing trans people under the bus challenge 2025.

We're well past the point of any plausible deniability that propagating Harry Potter is support for bigotry and hate.
