A quick statement from the Dungeons and Dragons talk was that "we all played in school".... I think it's important to note that no, "we" did not all get to play in school. Let's not ignore the historic barriers and gatekeepers.

I play D&D now because my partner and friends were not only supportive but inclusive. 5e was my entry, and I maintain that the changes made to 5e both make for and reflect a community-driven desire for a more inclusive space. #g4c

Day 2 begins with Asis Burak, chairman of @G4C. Talking about how people critique the term serious games...that we are making games too "serious." #G4C #G4C2023 (contd)

I have a bias towards the term serious games, obviously, but one thing this critique misses is that gaming audiences have a long history of intensity and labor. Just because it's play doesn't mean it has to be superficial or that it isn't meaningful. #G4C #G4C2023
