Slimy Hog posted:Listing out some games designed by non-white/non-male folks is a good idea, but representation in game design isn't the ONLY issue here. No, but they're auxiliary to the "OP in the games forum of recommendations of games for new people", being that the primary focus is "games for new people only that aren't on Kickstarter, are commonly-available, and cost less than $100", which is what I recall everyone talking about before. It wouldn't be auxiliary if the thread is was in D&D and titled "Social commentary and representation in the board game industry", but that covers a different set of ideas. That's how the terms primary/auxiliary (secondary, tertiary, whatever) work when discussing an essay or other written piece.

FirstAidKite posted:What is it that bothers you so much about a new op having a section addressing current issues in the tabletop hobby regarding discrimination Nothing, just that if the purpose of the OP is "recommendations for board games", that should be the easiest information for someone coming through to find, and the information that's most accessible, especially to someone skimming the OP and not wanting to wade through a wall of text. It's not a content question, it's a layout, usability, and editing question. The primary information (whatever that is) the OP tries to convey should be the most visible and accessible. Ex, "board game information and recs" in the first post, and the first reply to be everything related to social issues, representation, The Broken Token, etc. This clearly breaks the OP into the primary (recommendations) and auxiliary (social issues / etc) sections and visibly delineates each part to the reader, even at a glance. Magnetic North posted:I feel that it is a huge mistake to even respond to your bullshit, because it appears clear to me that you are just trolling. But just in case you're actually that loving insulated from how bad the trad games world is, here we go: See, this is good information to have. It adds context to the messages and shows relation to board games specifically, especially if you're a "new player looking fore their first modern game" that has no context or understanding about anything the industry has been doing the past few years.

Jabor posted:If you don't actually understand the thread's norms then you're not really the right person to be giving input on how they should be conveyed IMO. Then I guess I was confused as to what who was the primary audience for the OP, and the OP's primary message, especially after reading the draft posted earlier. I was under the impression from reading the thread that the primary audience was "a person new to board games who wants recommendations for modern games" and the primary message was "recommendations for new players that are sub-$100, non-KS, etc."

Morpheus posted:The rulebook was also pretty dang terrible and poorly laid out. I wish Kickstarter stretch goals would be "hire a professional copy editor / rules reviewer / layout designer" instead of "this thing was cardboard, now it's wood"

If anyone's actually interested in Black board gaming, ABCon was a few weeks ago: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/cowriegames/ab-con-the-african-boardgame-convention/description https://theabcon.com 60-some games released from 7 publishers this year. Sorry to goons that hate kickstarter, guess you missed the backing
