So will NAP (now I'm sleepy) mirror Brown University's policy of allowing interested biomasses (or is it biomassi?) to self identify as people of color or womyn in order to get hired and help them create the games and worlds we want to play in? That would like, be so teh awesome!

Am I supposed to want to support a company whose opening statement says the color and gender of the author is more important than the quality of the product?

No thanks, no interest in SJW gaming.

You know a company is destined for greatness when their opening announcement contains nothing other than a racially-charged opening statement and no product information or teasers of any kind. Then again, with a name like "New Agenda Publishing" at least they're being pretty transparent that making good games is obviously secondary to pushing their own ideology, so I expect nothing of note to come from this group.

I haven't looked at anything by Misha Bushyager, but I liked Eloy Lasanta's AMP series. Everything I've gotten from Jerry Grayson has been excellent.

As a designer and gamer who is the farthest possible demographic from this group’s target audience, that I am exceptionally excited about this development, and depressed about unsurprised I am at the reactions to it. Games that appeal to a broader and more diverse audience are objectively and unequivocally good the hobby, regardless of whether or not those games specifically appeal to you (or me, for that matter).

Given the pedigree of the group’s leads I expect them to produce great games (or at the very least, interesting ones).

The ideal of DIVERSITY includes straight white males being proud of being straight white males.

Equal voices includes everyone.

Agreed. Everyone should welcome new perspectives, new ideas, and new games.
