A Place at the Tabletop

Check out A Place at the Tabletop by @BritSaysStuff looking at issues of diversity and inclusion in tabletop gaming.

About Us

We believe there is a place at the tabletop for all people–this
includes people of all genders, all sexual orientations, all
races/nationalities, and all ability levels. We know tabletop gamers are
a broad and diverse bunch, and we think our games and game art should
reflect the full spectrum of human diversity.

A Place at the Tabletop will focus on evaluating the level of diverse
representation in a variety of tabletop games, in hopes of sparking a
broader conversation within the tabletop community.

We are deeply, profoundly uninterested in debating whether or not
representation matters or whether games should even bother to make space
for a variety of people. It does, we should.

This question bores us. It insults us. We’re over it. If you don’t
agree with this basic premise, this is unapologetically not the blog for
you. There are plenty of places on the internet you can go to debate
that. This is not one of them.

But if you want to look more closely at issues of diversity and representation within games, we hope you stick around!
