This part punched me right in the gut. It’s sad and true that I deal with this every day.
I try my best to not let it beat me down, but I’m only a human with feelings. I wouldn’t wish this unfair treatment on anybody.

Yesterday @eric_lang spent a decent chunk of the day endorsing me for a seat on the GAMA board on Facebook, and reminding folks of the situation for minorities in this industry here on Twitter. This morning? He's bombarded with harassment, death threats, and his FB is hacked.

This is a sad (and angering) report of abusive treatment in our hobby. I share this to remind myself and other men in this hobby to be mindful of how you use your power, and how other men around you use their power. We have to correct from within, or we're complicit.
@GailSimone My neighbor started me on 1st ed of 7th Sea, and I absolutely loved it. I got to transform into a bear!
But my actual first one was technically a Dragon Ball one I subbed for someone. I had no idea what I was doing, and got their character killed.
@thettexpress@TabletopiaGames Killer Bunnies and the Quest for the Golden Carrot for me. I loved this game, then our friend who had it moved, and while one of my friends rebought it, it wasn't the same.
