When things like this are posted in blogs that are seen by a large population, it really discredits women in game design overall, and like much nerd culture, is such a male dominated society. Danielle Lauzon Harper, Anastasia Marston, and Dr. Sarah Lynne Bowman are all amazing women who have contributed so much to tabletop and larp communities.<br /><br />As another female game designer, this hurts us because it makes us feel invalidated. When you mark these remarkable women as "friends of friends", it really devalues who they are in the game design world, much like the rest of the world does that the female athletes and scientists. This is why we need more women designers in the spotlight, and oversights like this really disappoint all of us who are trying to get our name in the world. Especially when you are a game designer yourself, it really devalues your amazing female colleagues. <br /><br />As for the amazing women (and nonbinary folks!) game designers that are reading this article, keep doing the good work. Keep fighting the good fight! Keep being the representation we need in tabletop. We need more people like you! Let me know who you are so I can support you personally! :D <br /><br />- Morgan NuncioAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01778419612283879263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5629259376300364506.post-1300009462273862802017-02-02T13:27:55.719-06:002017-02-02T13:27:55.719-06:00The other panelists at the GMing panel were (from ...The other panelists at the GMing panel were (from left to right looking at the panel) Sarah Lynne Bowman, Anastasia Marston, and Danielle Lauzon Harper.<br /><br />I think its important to recognize them by name.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04426672592199904419noreply@blogger.com
