After 8 years (first 3 as director) I'm soon stepping down from the @free_play board. It's a genuinely wonderful org that has made a difference over almost 20 years in games.
They're looking for new people to get involved - including on the board:

#Parallels22 by X was truely wonderful last night. Did it run long? Of course. Tech issues? Wouldn’t be a Parallels if there weren’t.
But every person in that room sat enthralled by the passion, love, creativity, and care on display, beginning to end.
