This year, Banzi Balloons took us to space! The balloon lander took over 9,000 balloons to create and raised $1,399 for our charity partners @indyreads and @gamepathways.

And don't worry, we have video of the destruction, stay tuned!

Last night at Cardhalla, you helped raise $4,809.14 for Indy Reads and Game Pathways.

Don't miss out on the balloon destruction that will also go to these amazing charities!

Excited to be featured in the first issue of Turn Order, a free magazine that you'll be able to pick up at the @GamePathways booth right when you walk into Gen Con!

[Brotherwise Games @bwisegames]

We created a magazine for #GenCon!

Welcome to Turn Order Magazine. Turn Order is a free community magazine completely funded by participating independent publishers (tagged in photo).

You'll be able to pick up your free copy at any participating publisher booth during Gen Con!

@PhantomMeeple If you're willing to work some hours as a greeter at the Game Pathways booth, we can cover your badge costs and pay you $25/hour. That should get you the rest of the way there!

Indie #boardgame publishers unite! The latest companies to support @GamePathways are @RoxleyGames, @LuckyDuckGames, @ThunderworksGam, and @ArcaneWonders.

Their donations support scholarships, grants, and learning programs for game design students from under-represented groups!

[gamepathways @gamepathways]

@kovraystudios Most of the publishers who sponsor Game Pathways are willing to donate copies to schools who make those requests, especially in lower-income or underserved areas. Here's a list of all the publishers who support our quest to share this hobby with students:

@elizhargrave At @GamePathways, we think this problem (and the closely correlated problem of minority representation in tabletop industry jobs) needs a two-pronged solution:
1⃣ Publisher outreach to correct hiring & marketing biases.
2⃣ Student outreach to promote game industry career paths.

I would like to offer some data, not as criticism of the SdJ org, but as a criticism of the PIPELINE. Something is wrong with a system that leads to these pictures: 🧵

1. Nominees for the SdJ since 1999: 5 women, 103 men (& no other gender ID AFAIK). No women in the last 2 yrs.

We're currently planning for our October 2023 Learning Program in LA. Here's a look at feedback from last year's #boardgame design program!

"An amazing program that allowed me to open a door that I have been trying to pick the lock of for so long." ♥️
