J Station X is an inclusive games site that publishes news, reviews, and op-eds.
Our primary focus is games with female characters, characters of color, and LGBTQ characters.
Does a game offer particularly good representation? Which games could do better? How is the industry becoming more inclusive? These are some of the things our articles address.
If you're interested in that sort of thing then give us a follow (or @ us if you're a game dev making a relevant title!) :)
@Canageek To be honest, we've only ever covered electronic games (and one book) but I'm willing to consider getting into tabletop games if you have an idea?
@JStationX just that there's an entire instance of game writers pretty much here that might be interested if you ever start covering them
@Canageek Is the instance dice.camp?
@Canageek okay! Thank you for the recommendation, I'll definitely take a look :)
@JStationX As a straight white male looking to get into the industry, I'd like to bring others with me (and in greater numbers). Would this be relevant to my learning how best to do that?
@JStationX I should clarify that when I said others, I didn't mean other straight white males. I meant I want to bring a net increase in diversity into the industry. I reread my toot and thought maybe it sounded wrong.
@JacobSKellogg It's fine! I understood what you meant :)
To be honest, J Station X is probably more consumer focused than what you're looking for.
However, we do have quite a few articles about diversity in the games industry that you might be interested in anyway - http://jstationx.com/tag/diversity-in-gaming/
Our recent post about the BBC's report has some good insights on why there is still a lack of diversity in the industry/examples of why more diversity is needed.
Let me know if that helps!
@JStationX Hello! We're a general geek-creativity site though with a lot of game-dev stuff going on. Sounds a good project - nice to meet you guys!
@ExilianOfficial Hey there! Thank you for following :)
@JStationX Electronic games only, or do you do tabletop as well?
