Tabletop Gaming, 90s Board Games, Classic Games Reimagined, and a New Fandom Challenge
Join us this January for a celebration of tabletop games!
Happy New Year, fans! đ Are you all set with your New Yearâs resolutions? Ours is to celebrate all fandoms in new and exciting ways! As we embark on a new year, we look forward to new adventures in fandom. Itâs hard to believe how 2023 flew byâbut not without carving some serious dents into pop culture. It was, among other things, the year of Barbie and Taylor Swiftâand we celebrated here at rmrk*st accordingly. So what can we expect to grace our screens in 2024? We can hardly wait to find out!
Before we take a look at whatâs happening here at rmrk*st Magazine this January, letâs turn the clock back âŠď¸ a bit to last yearâŚer, December. We dedicated the month to toys 𧸠and holiday funâand we had a blast!Â
At Remarkist, our app users participated in a virtual craft marketâjust like the real-life ones that we love attending during the holiday season. Our Joyful Markit was a weeklong carnival of Memento creation and Memento gift-giving đ in the spirit of Christmas and Hanukkah, complete with prizes! In addition, our holiday watch party Slate featured Hallmark holiday movies, classic favorites, and series.
With Christmas đ and Hanukkah đ typically so focused on gifts for kids, our monthly magazine theme was inspired by toys. We took a look at some specific toy fandoms, like American Girl, as well as some iconic toys featured in holiday movies.Â
Since our Holiday Slate was heavily dedicated to Hallmark holiday movies, we thought weâd have fun with AI and asked ChatGPT help us write a few Hallmark-like holiday movie plots for films weâd be psyched to watch. The results were extremely entertaining.
While Gilmore Girls season is undoubtedly the fall, we put together the most wintry episodes âď¸ to keep you cozy through the spring! One of those episodes features the Bracebridge Dinner, of courseâand thatâs just one of the holiday parties in fandom we wish we could attend that we compiled on this list. And speaking of parties: we compiled a roster of characters we would definitely invite to our Hanukkah celebrations!
But now that New Yearâs celebrations are over and weâve cleaned up all the confetti, weâre looking ahead! Itâs time to show our hand âŚď¸â ď¸âĽď¸âŁď¸ (see what we did there?) on the theme for January. We are getting back to the basics of gaming: tabletop and board games! đ˛ Weâll dive into the world of analog games that have inspired many fandomsâfrom card games, role playing tabletop games and the earliest party board gamesâto the board games we love turned into movies. Board games and nostalgia go hand in hand, and they foster communityâjust like our favorite fandoms. Head over to our Discordâs gaming-forums channel to find other fans of the games you love! And while this month weâre celebrating tabletop games, donât worry if youâre a video game aficionado: weâll be covering video gaming in a future issue!
