You didn’t write me back (if we’re airing grievances) — I am sure it was lost in the deluge of messages you are likely dealing with. Let me know if what I sent is reasonable or moronic; either way.

Another "haven't posted for ages" returner although in my case it's just because I'm rubbish.

I fully approve of this change. There's a real need for high quality written content at the moment.

A few thoughts/questions/ideas.

Have you considered the occasional bit of accessible game theory/ludology type stuff? Obviously, not loads of it or as a major focus. But I actually think there's an unfilled gap between the really dense academic Board Game Studies Journal type stuff and the 101 type things. Basically at the moment it's Greg Costyikan and nobody else doing that and he's busy a lot.

Does the change of name suggest an openness to other types of games as well? Obviously, video games are already covered, but rpgs etc.? I have a vested interest here. One of the reasons for my lack of posting is that while I still boardgame, increasingly it's what I do between LARPs. And I recently started megagaming and feel like a giddy teenager playing Junta for the first time again.

10 Year’s ago when we first started we avoided using the terms “rpg” or “video games”because that would get an entire site auto blocked by net nannies, like websense, in nearly all work places, government offices, schools and libraries. Boardgame, one word, would not. This informed our choice not to cover these types of games or have forums for them.



Now blocking is more sophisticated, so Boardgame, one word can get you blocked. On the other hand, some of the better net nannies are getting more sophisticated, so they won’t auto block by certain words, but rather by type of site. Therefore, the net nannies that don’t block “Boardgame” also won’t block “rpg” or “video game.”The places that will block “rpg” or “video game” are blocking us anyway for “ Boardgame”

Plus, everyone is on mobile anyway. So screw it, We are writing about and discussing all kinds of games, net nannies be damned.

Over the years I've dropped in and out of here. I'll continue to do so, and I feel grateful that people care enough to take a great site and keep it going. Thank you.

What I don't understand is, as a F:ATtie from the Before Time, why "F:AT" monogrammed underwear hasn't been offered to mollify a longstanding case of uncontrollable nerdrage? Since when did underwear become the enemy?

Thank you,

Don't know what the traffic looks like or anything but I just wanted to *chef kiss* at the quality of all this front page content. It has been *fantastic* to see and you guys should be proud.

Shellie, on mobile (iPhone, Safari) I cannot seem to ascertain the location of a link to my mailbox.

I searched for like 10 minutes, went to my profile, and yet cannot find it. I’m probably just blind, daft, or a combination of both.
