Tabletop Gaming has a White Male Terrorism Problem

I am a gamer. I followed the call of Cthulhu and ran in the shadows with hackers and shamans. I traversed the ancient lands of Greyhawk, Faerun, and Eberron with companions new and old. I swung from an airship and buckled swash over London for the Kerberos Club. I threw dice and flipped cards and ground men into dust playing table-top wargames.

I don’t do that anymore.

Since July of 2015 fans of the game Malifaux have been attempting to overwhelm me with death and rape threats for no other reason than I am a woman who has opinions on the game. Wyrd Miniatures is silent on this matter and hangs up whenever anyone attempts to discuss the harassment. Given that a large number of threats identify the senders by name as Wyrd staff members, I do not find this surprising.

But that’s not what this article is about.

If you care about the tabletop gaming community, or basic human rights, please read.  And if, like me, you’re a white male in the gaming community, please listen to those around you when they tell you there is a problem.  We don’t get to say there isn’t.

Nothing says "I like to go hard but I am also currently a parent so I really hope this ends at a decent hour cause traffic around the PNC can be brutal after a big event" like buying korn tickets on groupon. @laskyjedneplavovlasky

In French we don’t say “Marry me,” we say ted cruz est le tueur du zodiaque which roughly translates to “Let us never separate” and I think that’s truly beautiful

Tons of hardcore Gods of Egypt-heads coming out for the midnight showing!  You can spot the true fans cause they’re the ones dressed as Europeans dressed as Egyptians.

Okay, that was unfair.  I’ve looked it up and many of the actors are also Australian.

I don’t know the context for this, but it isn’t necessary. A more truthful ad has never been printed.

The Making of the American Museum of Natural History's Wildlife Dioramas

Via The @newyorker:

The dioramas at New York City’s American Museum of Natural History—those vivid and lifelike re-creations of the natural world, in which the taxidermied specimens almost seem to breathe and the painted horizons seem to stretch for miles—are very much products of the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth-century milieu in which many of them were created. Temporally and aesthetically sandwiched between the cabinet of curiosities and “Planet Earth,” the dioramas grew out of the intersection between a nascent conservation movement and an age of swashbuckling adventurism.

Read the full story about the Museum’s dioramas.

Dream job. Anyone need a wildlife diorama?
