Watch Secrets of Magic Liveplay on Thursday!

While the Pathfinder: Secrets of Magic liveplay is usually on Wednesdays at 6 pm Pacific, we are taking the night off to support and call attention to the growing problem of hate raids on marginalized streamers. In short, there has been a “recent explosion of ‘hate raids’—in which trolls overwhelm streamers’ chats with bot-powered fake accounts that spam hateful messages.” We are standing in solidarity with other streamers to take September 1 off to say #TwitchDoBetter. We need Twitch to make additional tech tools to create a safer space a top priority. You can join us tomorrow, Thursday September 2 this week.

Gaming Is for All

Whether you are the GM or a player, participating in a tabletop roleplaying game includes a social contract: everyone has gathered together to have fun telling a story. For many, roleplaying is a way to escape the troubles of everyday life. Be mindful of everyone at the table and what they want out of the game, so that everyone can have fun. When a group gathers for the first time, they should talk about what they hope to experience at the table, as well as any topics they want to avoid. Everyone should understand that elements might come up that make some players feel uncomfortable or even unwelcome, and everyone should agree to respect those boundaries during play. That way, everyone can enjoy the game together.

Pathfinder is a game for everyone, regardless of their age, gender, race or ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, or any other identities and life experiences. It is the responsibility of all of the players, not just the GM, to make sure the table is fun and welcoming to all.
