This includes anyone with interests in collectable card games like Magic or Pokemon, roleplaying games like Dungeons and Dragons, Vampire or Star Trek, board games like Roborally or Kill Dr. Lucky, or even strategy games including Axis and Allies. Heck, we’ll even throw in electronic games from consoles to computers just to get everyone involved. Just one warning, however: We will not tolerate gay-bashing or homophobic remarks. That’s a one-strike-and-you’re-outta-here rule.__ Otherwise, join in, keep your comments civil and friendly and get to know your brothers and sisters with the same interests as yourself. I, for one, have found the list fantastically helpful.  For example, I now know what products and companies are more gay-friendly than others, and can throw my monetary support towards those companies not afraid to provide product that includes my interests.  I know what books have been release recently that feature gay characters, and I know of websites that can be referred to for pages and pages of gay-oriented fantasy and horror literature.  I know that there are industry professionals that take a sincere interest in my opinions on how to reach out to the gay consumer, because they've joined our list and simply asked us.  I know that there are gay industry insiders with their own companies, creating product that speaks to us inclusively.The list is a way of making sure word-of-mouth spreads, and that we can support those people who support us.  It's a validation that yes, others feel the same way you do, and your aren't alone.  It's a help guide for personal interaction with your gaming group, as well as a connection to other gaymers that might be looking for a gaming group to play with.  The list is honest, unpretentious, non-flaming (ironically), generous, and sincere.This is sounding like an unabashed plug for the list (like we win a prize for the most members?  sheesh....), but so what.  If anyone else has any gay-oriented websites they'd like to mention, go for it.  It's important that we share as much as we can, so we never have to feel isolated again.Just my two cents!--Coreyartus</blockquote>
