Why is this anthology necessary? Because too often voices of those society marginalizes are left out of the bigger conversation around gaming, the industry, those that cover it and discuss it. Those that live, eat and breathe gaming are often ignored in favor of the assumed default. This is a chance for people to tell their story, honestly and from the heart on what either being in the industry or on the edges of it means for them.

The anthology is available from Amazon and directly from the Publisher, CRC Press.

Cover art was done by Alex Croft. You can check out their portfolio in case you are looking for an artist versed in many styles. Alex can be reached via their site.
