Let's Play a Game! A place to discuss all things board game, regardless of genre. Everything from Scrabble and Catan to Ark Nova, 1830 and beyond is fair game! That means we have blackjack. Bring your own hookers, sorry.

Other boardgame comms:
He was very honest in an email, because it was likely the creators of that game were unprofessional to him. I've read the email, and believe he did the right thing in standing up for himself.
What BGG did was, in fact, unlawful because this was religious discrimination, period. BGG will be seeing a lot of trouble for this action.
This is a great way to raise publicity about this game.
Hats off to BGG for not entertaining this nonsense, and letting that person go.
Keep in mind their original response was basically a" he's been cautioned that this is not professional" but nothing more. It was only after there was even more outcry that they went back on that.
This glosses over how long the issue went on before they fired him. It also doesn't address how many other companies may have been hurt by his nonsense views that couldn't fight back as effectively as Falling Whale could due to size and audience.
BGG still had a lot to answer for.
Hopefully any other previously denied campaigns will now come to light.
Theres no way someone like this works at a company for 20 years and this has never come up before.
Im gonna guess this was the first time it came up publicly so they had to fire him tho.
Does that dumbass just pray instead of helping people with mental challenges get actual help?
First time seeing how religion "works"?
Lol these are hardly offensive images. https://gametrodon.com/possess-me-satan-banner-ads/
That's what a demon would say
That's it? This is run-of-the-mill game art. I was expecting more blood or gore.
