Drawing games are awesome. They’re one of the few games I can get most of my friends and family who aren’t into board games to play with me. They are all also big fans of Taboo, and I’m a big fan of geekery. Now there’s a tabletop game that will combine all of the interests and…

Red Stylo Is Singing Killer Queen: An Interview with Enrica Jang
I first met Enrica Jang while at Philadelphia Wizard Con a near two years ago. She was on a panel speaking about diversity and women in comics, and I—the baby comic journalist I was then—bucked up the courage to speak with her. She gave me honest advice about writing and promoting one’s self online. She kindly…

Hurtful Fandom and the Damage of the Puppies
It’s been about a month since the Hugo nominations were announced and with it the anger, frustrations, and mixed emotions of the slate voting by the self-described Sad Puppies and Rabid Puppies factions.
