Due to the changes in the schedules of Playability team members, we are placing the show on a temporary hiatus. You can enjoy all of our previous episodes at https://t.co/6ZWZX6chvH
Thank you for understanding and we look forward to expanding perspectives in the future!

I recently completed my 100th game project since starting freelance in 2011, and it felt important to say thanks to some very important folks: game designers. Without your enthusiasm and craft, the last decade of my life would’ve been much less awesome.

Retweeting this for no particular reason at all: https://t.co/jzxbBGyC9o

GAMA did the right thing to cancel Origins Online, and made a bold and righteous statement to meet the moment.

However, their official statement unintentionally erases the POC who took a stand, and this is teachable.

Long form response attached:

@TheBGWorkshop @JohnduBois Yes! One of our hosts, @ToPlayIsHuman, suggested it. It's incredibly helpful to have captions (even better if they are edited for accuracy) and to know which videos have them. All videos having them would be stellar!

I know the show is sadly on hiatus, but do you know what is still fun and not on hiatus? Birthdays. Specifically, the birthday of our amazing co-host @cgsunit. Consider popping over to her twitter account and wishing her a fantastic day! 🎉🎂

@ABlueGreenGXY Please let us know if that doesn’t answer your question, or you would like any episode recommendations for a specific topic.

[Playability @PlayabilityPod]

@ABlueGreenGXY Hi. Well, it depends a lot on the designer and the game, as the guest drives the direction we take. Sometimes it’s visual or physical impairment/accessibility, other times inclusivity, or neuroatypical accessibility. Just sort of whatever direction our guest would like to go.

Congrats to @MarriedMeeples who won Brew Crafters and Microbrewers!

Hello Friends! I’ve been saving these for a themed giveaway, but now seems as good a time as any to just give them away. Like, retweet, or reply to enter. That’s Brewcrafters, Microbrewers, Homebrewers, and the OverkilledStorage insert for Brewcrafters.

Our first winner is @erked! Congratulations! And yes, I said first winner. As Eric already has Brew Crafters and Microbrewers he's asked that I share the love more, and so I get to give those away separately.

Last chance! I’m be doing the drawing and announcing the winner Monday morning. They’re starting to lock things down more here, and if I’m going to get it mailed out it has to be soon.

I’ve been asked how long we’re leaving the giveaway open. Rebecca pointed out April 7th is National Beer Day and would be a fitting time to do the drawing. Should we wait until then?

[Playability @PlayabilityPod]

@PawsvsPawns Of course!

What games come to mind when you think of stellar board game art? @ToPlayIsHuman talks to @moregamespls about board game art and artist visibility within the hobby. Ross also shares some of his personal favorite board game artists. https://t.co/NiyOF673m3
