I was fortunate enough to be invited to speak at Highline College yesterday for #IndigenousPeoplesDay, and I gave a new presentation called Decolonizing Your Gaming. Its positive reception has really inspired me and I have some fun ideas that will grow from this.

I'm aware, thanks. And I do. But they'll make money regardless and if that money can help some struggling Native creatives, then there's no reason not to do both. I'm not supporting the film. I'm asking them to give credit where credit is due. It's the same fight.

Happy Indigenous People Day!

Did you know that Indigenous women go missing and are murdered ten times more than average? They don’t even get a quarter of the attention that a white woman going missing would get. Please keep these women in your mind. Don’t forget them

Happy Indigenous Peoples Day! Today we celebrate the heritage, beauty, and perseverance of hundreds of cultures and nations across North America that have thrived and endured here for thousands of years, and will be around for thousands more.

Every time an educator tells me they used Coyote & Crow Games in their class and had a great response or when a student emails me and says they're doing a paper on C&C and can they ask me some questions, or when a Native shares art of their OC, I know I'm going to make it through the day.

‼️🚨KICKSTARTER WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE🚨‼️

As of 8am this morning, the workers of Kickstarter United/OPEIU Local 153 are on strike.

WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A BOYCOTT! Creators and allies, please continue using and supporting the platform.

Kickstarter United is on strike!
We are not asking for a boycott! Creators & Allies: Please continue to support & use the platform
swipe for ways to show your solidarity

Why We're Striking
A codified 4-day work week.
We simply want to protect the way we've been working for over 3.5 years. The 4dww has proven benefits, such as increased productivity and improved employee satisfaction. It's part of what makes Kickstarter a special, innovative place to work.
Fair pay for our lowest-paid workers.
We're fighting for livable minimum salaries for roles that are undervalued by the market but crucial to keeping Kickstarter running. We believe none of our workers should struggle to make ends meet.

If you're feeling like you want to support small and/or minority owned businesses as we deal with more and more unethical and awful behavior from major corporations, you can can great games from Coyote & Crow! Get them here:
www.allplay.com/board-games/... #NativeSky #tabletop #ttrpg #rpg #games

Our award-winning tabletop roleplaying game! Almost 500 pages of an alternate future where colonization of the Americas never happened and Indigenous nations rose to prominence. Great if you want to roleplay in a world where Donald Trump and, in fact, all Republicans never existed at all.

A quick roll-and-write, push your luck dice game reminiscent of Yahtzee and other classic dice chuckers. Plays in less than 30 minutes and the dice even double as set for the Coyote & Crow RPG. (Pronounced NAW-see)

Let me be clear:
Indigenous designer makes a game with an Indigenous theme? Indigenous Game.
Indigenous designer makes a game without an Indigenous theme? Indigenous Game.
Non-Indigenous designer makes a game with an Indigenous theme? Not an Indigenous Game. It's a game ABOUT Indigenous people.
