Board Election Basic Results 2023
By David Millians
With a record voter turnout (Thanks, everyone!) all five candidates standing for election to the new board have become part of our new governing body. Allen White, David Millians, Hawke Robinson, Mike Tresca, and Ted Skirvin will serve for the next twelve months. The board elected Mike as the chair for another year.
This brings the board to its maximum capacity of five members for the first time in many, many years, providing us with a new breadth of leadership. All of the board members hope you everyone involved with CAR-PGa will continue to bring ideas and issues to the fore, and if you don’t like the way things or run, please consider standing for election next year!
Letter from the Chair
Hello All,
It’s been quite a month for tabletop role-playing games! CAR-PGa had our first ever successful voting campaign in which a significant number of our popular voted. Wizards of the Coast threatened to revoke the Open Game License … and then backed off of it completely, putting the System Resource Document for Fifth Edition into the Creative Commons License. And we had two different guests over the past few months.
January’s virtual panel guest was with Servant of Shiloh, the host and founder of the RPG Elite. RPG Elite is a tabletop RPG YouTube channel focusing on classic tabletop role-playing games, alternative tabletop RPG genres, and RPG elite philosophy. A major pillar of the channel is his namesake RPG Elite Philosophy, a high-standard mindset meant to deepen the tabletop role-playing experience, approaching it not just as a game, but an art form. In addition, Servant’s Classic Tabletop RPG Spotlight Series goes in-depth with a particular game, covering the various mechanics and explaining the rules. He caps that off with a one-shot RPG online session video, where you’ll see the mechanics in action. He also includes tools, tips, and tutorials that help make the RPG experience more immersive and enjoyable.
In December, our guest was Adam Davis of Game to Grow. Adam D. Davis, MA Ed, earned his Master’s degree in Education with a focus in drama therapy from Antioch University Seattle and is a recognized member of the North American Drama Therapy Association. Adam is a contributing author to three publications: Integrating Geek Culture into Therapeutic Practice; Game Play, 3rd Edition; and The Walking Dead Psychology. In addition to his work with Game to Grow, Adam developed the CoRe Gaming program at the Atlantic Street Center utilizing video games to teach Dialectical Behavioral Therapy skills, served as an educator at Seattle’s Woodland Park Zoo, and taught fourth-grade literacy for Seattle Public Schools.
We have many guests lined up for the next several months that I’m excited to interview, but I’m particularly pleased to report that one of our past guests was just appointed to our board! Dr. Allen White received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from The Ohio State University under the direction of Igor Adamovich and J. William Rich of the Non-Equilibrium Thermodynamics Laboratories. His research has involved infrared spectroscopy, mass-spectrometry, and plasmas. He is an Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Chemistry at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology. Dr. White is working to make RPGs for engineering education using a proven teaching framework, called Fink’s Taxonomy that can work for any education content. He recently presented an expansion of the Year Zero Engine from Gary Con at GameHole Con in October. I look forward to working with Dr. White on the Board, along with all the existing members who were voted into their positions once more: David Millians, Ted Skirvin, and Hawke Robinson.
Speaking of which, I’m honored to serve on the Board as Committee Chair once more. It took a few years but the CAR-PGA is slowly getting back on its feet. With more voting CAR-PGA members, more guests, and tabletop gaming more visible in the news than ever before, we’re well-suited for the challenges that come with that popularity.
Thank you for joining us on this journey. We’re just getting started!
Sincerely,
Mike Tresca
ARTICLES
State Prison Book Bannings
By M. Allan Thomas II
We’ve long had a problem with RPG books being banned in prisons. I even worked on this back in my early days with CAR-PGa, 20–25 years ago.
A few days ago, The Marshall Project put out a database of works banned in state prisons for each state that keeps a list. Unfortunately, I know from experience that frequently these decisions are made on an individual prison level rather than being recorded on a statewide list somewhere, and many states don’t actually keep centralized lists of what they ban at all. Still, they got more than 50,000 titles from across half the states.
The lead image for the database page includes the AD&D 2nd edition supplement Anauroch. Have fun hunting for more RPG examples!
https://www.themarshallproject.org/2022/12/21/prison-banned-books-list-find-your-state
I’ll add that we’ve had both good and bad experiences with the federal prison system, including the only censorship case to happen while I was Chair. https://www.muckrock.com/foi/united-states-of-america-10/roleplaying-game-restrictions-in-the-bureau-of-prisons-43921/
The OGL Tumult
By David Millians
What a month! Recent weeks have seen much discussion concerning the shifting ground around Wizard of the Coast’s Open Game License. It is not my intention to document every comment nor to take a certain stance on the proceedings. Rather, this seems to indicate a shift in the landscape of the hobby and something we should monitor and document. Therefore, for the time being, I have pulled the various articles and ideas connected to this issue into its own section.
As of early January, all of the excitement and speculation surrounded a leaked document, the authenticity of which was not known. The response makes clear, however, the importance of the OGL to a wide segment of RPG fandom and the effect it has had on the ecology of the hobby.
I have attached digital copies of the inflammatory OGL 1.1, as well as the much-revised OGL 1.2 and the System Reference Document produced for would-be designers of D&D 5E products. The latter is available inexpensively from DriveThru RPG in refined and bookmarked forms from at least one publisher.
Wizards of the Coast’s OGL v1.2 Survey is open until February 3, 2023. Or maybe it’s not, as they seem to have reached their business conclusions.
