Now onto number 5! This little idea has grown into over 100 LGBTQ+ people attending the events. If you'd like to support this little venture, get in touch #BGG #boardgames #TTRPG

Calling all #Gaymers! Birmingham Gaymers is back at @ChanceCounters on 7 April for its fifth edition. Yup, that's right number 5. We've got a bit of organised play on the go and are starting to talk RPG nights #LGBTQ #BGG #Boardgames https://t.co/YqK0WMmUeu

[Polaroids and Polar Bears @brumpolarbears]

This is a really interesting read, especially as so many TTRPG stories have a default setting of white characters. Diversity, inclusion and correct representation only enhance stories - it never takes away

Birmingham Gaymers is celebrating its first birthday this November and to celebrate we're hosting a special Halloween meet-up at @chancecounters. Plenty of spooky games and of course fancy dress too https://t.co/UcDJELYgPN #boardgames #lgbtq #bgg

[Polaroids and Polar Bears @brumpolarbears]

After plenty of planning, Birmingham Gaymers launches its Dungeons and Dragons 101 tonight. Completely sold out!

[Chris Brown @pipedownmrbrown]

Birmingham Gaymers is launching a brand new meet-up tonight. Dungeons and Dragons 101. Completely sold out! And people have turned up! Super pleased

[Chris Brown @pipedownmrbrown]

A week until Birmingham Gaymers September meet-up. Fancy joining us for some board game fun, including the rather outrageous Epic Spell Wars of the Battle Wizards 2? Get booking #gaymer #lgbtq #PRIDE https://t.co/Aen44HAE0x

[Polaroids and Polar Bears @brumpolarbears]

If you're after some more queer representation in your comic books, @ProudGeekStore have given us the low down on some September new releases featuring LGBTQ+ protagonists and narratives #lgbtq #comicbook #pride #lgbt https://t.co/jpZcPDTtn6

It's here! The first trailer for Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves @dndmovie https://t.co/VGUFaov66o #dnd #dungeonsanddragons

[Polaroids and Polar Bears @brumpolarbears]

Bit of radio silence for the past month - a tad burnt out. But, tonight Birmingham Gaymers is back at @ChanceCounters. Come play board games and eat delicious food https://t.co/XlV4JtLMWc

How amazing are these!?! Every Warlock needs its patron contract in ink (or possibly blood)

[Polaroids and Polar Bears @brumpolarbears]

Can't believe it's been a week since UKGE. While I had an amazing time and met some amazing people, I also met some rather rude people as well. Just because you own a publishing company does not mean you can interrupt and then ignore people. You're not better than anyone else

[Polaroids and Polar Bears @brumpolarbears]

Bought lots of fantastic things from some amazing makers at @UKGamesExpo, however this has to be one of my favourite purchases. A selection of health potions, with the perfect amount of dice from @levelbedded #dnd #5e

[Polaroids and Polar Bears @brumpolarbears]

Just a small haul from @UKGamesExpo this year. Not just mine thankfully, also other halfs. Fab weekend filled with amazing people and games. This weekend was needed for the soul! #UKGE2022

[Polaroids and Polar Bears @brumpolarbears]

I'm in the @UKGamesExpo programme! #ukgamesexpo #ukge2022 #gaymer #boardgamea

[Polaroids and Polar Bears @brumpolarbears]

Onwards to @UKGamesExpo Press Preview. This is one very happy gaymer. If you're about this weekend, make sure you say hi! #ukge2022

[Polaroids and Polar Bears @brumpolarbears]

Love this!

If you're hitting @UKGamesExpo this weekend, don't forget the Birmingham Gaymers will be meeting at the Open Gaming Area on Sunday from 1pm. Come say hi! #ukge2022 #lgbtq #gaymers

[Polaroids and Polar Bears @brumpolarbears]

@BoxedMeeples Sunday is usually shopping (but to be honest we do that every day). Don't leave it until the end of the weekend if you've seen something you want to buy. People often think prices get slashed and sometimes they do....but things also sell out.

[Polaroids and Polar Bears @brumpolarbears]

Out of office on! A week off topped off with 3 days at @UKGamesExpo. Cannot wait!!! Time to plan what to visit and of course buy!

Who's going this year then eh? Looking forward to anything in particular? Anything we should see? #ukge2022 #ukgamesexpo

[Polaroids and Polar Bears @brumpolarbears]

@BoxedMeeples You'll have a great time! We've been a few times now and its become a staple in the calendar. Definitely worth planning. What we normally do is have the first day for walking round and finding things we want to play, then using Saturday for play day....

[Boxed Meeples Libby & Julian @BoxedMeeples]

@brumpolarbears We will be there, and this us whats got us all excited ...

https://t.co/cLk1z0MCZR

Any tips ?

[Polaroids and Polar Bears @brumpolarbears]

Gamers Christmas is almost upon us. @UKGamesExpo is this week and I couldn't be more excited. If you're a bit out of practice with the big expos, we've published our own survival guide to help out #BGG #boardgames #ukge2022 https://t.co/D5o4WeJma2
