Summary

CW: DiscriminationThis is not your regularly scheduled episode of SCPT. Some events took place over the weekend regarding Tabletop Simulator and it's developer, Berserk Games. We felt it was necessary to catch everyone up to speed and to make our intents and desires clear. This conversation deals with topics of discrimination in the board gaming community. We hope everyone will listen closely and join us in doing everything we can to make every Twilight Imperium table a safe one for all players.

0:44.9	So it's not like this is, I mean, I'm sure you've already gotten the vibe that this isn't going to be very fun, whatever we have for you here today.
0:47.8	Yeah.

1:03.4	And also, like, maybe you don't even know what we're talking about at this point.
1:06.4	Yep.
1:07.0	And that's fine.
1:08.5	If you were to find out someday, I wouldn't want you to be unsure of where we feel and where we are at with it.
1:15.9	Yeah, that's for sure.
