I want to talk about playing #boardgames with #MECFS, or other disease limiting a persons ability to sit at a table for a long time. @isotriajayne cannot leave her bed/recliner/supported position to play games for very long so we've had to adapt.... thread:
We are over on threads now as well. Trying to skeedaddle out of here, but need to make sure to go through and follow everyone on threads. In the meantime we did the mid year challenge created by @rolling_reggieyoutube.com/watch?v=8tMyohub…
Looked at the @bgg@Gen_Con preview last night. So many good games we wish we could demo at #gencononline. @25thCG we are so excited for Fika, and eying agueda. If you demo them online, we would certainly buy if we liked them. We aren't alone in this. #makegamingaccessible.
HUGH Thank you and shout out to @smirkanddagger for including #gencononline in their @Gen_Con plans this year. More publishers should follow! We are signed up to demo #Tesseract!! THIS is how you make cons inclusive so homebound ppl can attend too. #makegamingaccessible
#Gencon online schedule is out and there are 46 #boardgames out of 678 events. Some other good stuff but really disappointed that more publishers aren't participating. How hard would it be to find volunteers to lead some games at @gen_con online. #makeboardgamesaccessible
A smart strategy for online game sellers like @CoolStuffInc@TheMiniMarket & @GameNerdzcom would be to host some plays at #Gencononline. We buy games online so we can shop together since Jayne is disabled & homebound. we WILL buy games we demo & like at @gen_con online
People who are neither Black nor gay telling us that the Supreme Court is actually very moderate and very cool makes sense when you realize their takes stems from their total inability to give a shit about anybody else.
Hey @IGDN_Official, would you share this ask? Indy publishers please include your games in #gencononline? My wife has #MCSFS & we can ONLY participate in @gen_con online. We'd love to try and buy some indy games! #makeboardgamingaccessible
Hopefully some of the big guys like @FFGames will be "at" #gencononline. We WISH we could go to @gen_con but chronic disabling illness makes it impossible. However we will play allllll the games at GConline and buy the ones we like! Day8 of operation #makeboardgamingaccessible
Big fans of @ElfCreekGames. Please participate in #gencononline so its accessible to people who are prevented from traveling due to chronic disabling illness (or other reasons??) We are guaranteed to play your game and probably buy it lol. @gen_con#makeboardgamingaccessible day7
We love @25thCG, so many great titles. Would ABSOLUTELY sign up for their games @ #gencononline. And probably buy it lol. Day5 of operation #makeboardgamingaccessible asking publishers to participate in @gen_con online so ppl with chronic illness can still be part of the fun!
Hoping our fav publishers like @garphillgames demo games at #gencononline so we can try them and buy them! Boardgames are the ideal hobby for chronically ill people like @isotriajayne but we'll never get to another @gen_con in person. D4: operation #makeboardgamingaccessible
Day 3 of asking publishers like @alderac to help make @gen_con accessible to people with disabling chronic diseases by demoing games online at #gencononline. We spend $$$ on games and always buy ones we like from online cons. Operation #makeboardgamingaccessible
#GenConOnline is very important for a lot of reasons, this being a big one! If you're a publisher and you'd like to run some games online please submit an event!
Everyone deserves to be a part of #GenCon!

Day one of me begging publishers like @luckyduckgames to demo games at #gencononline as well as @Gen_Con so me and my disabled, homebound wife can participate. We WILL buy your games after playing online.
