Historical boardgaming so often focuses on military wars. But another war, thousands of years old, continues: a War for Identity. Most especially today, #SDHistCon celebrates those who fought and continue to fight for #Transgender rights, equality & visibility. We love you all.

Flashpoint: South China Sea #fscsgame @gmtgames video and example of play - en Espanol. What a cool hobby we are in; a player can get excited about a game, release the first example of play - from another continent. Small world isn't it. Thanks Albert! youtube.com/watch?v=6K9MDwESโ€ฆ
