This is the seventh episode of Games in the Glade, in which I discuss Tabletop RPG Bloodstone, the Open Source Afro Hair Library, a list of great games by Black developers from Shawn Alexander, the Consumer Electronics Show, some Nintendo News, and the charity event Awesome Games Done Quick and Death’s Door. Thanks to Puddles of Infinity for the use of their song "Porches and Universes."
