-- Q&A (including a potential tweak to the qualification rules) by the SFWA President, Cat Rambo, here: http://www.kittywumpus.net/blog/2016/07/20/sfwa-admits-gamewriters-all-heck-breaks-loose-film-at-11/
My favorite bit of the Cat Rambo piece:
Q: Do you, personally, support gamewriters joining?
A. Dude. I've been playing D&D since I was 11 and that was the ancient, original set that came out right after Chainmail. I worked in a book/game store for close to ten years. My bachelorette party was a Call of Cthulhu scenario that turned out to be Paranoia by the end. Of course I support this. I love gaming, and a good game is a work of art. I'm really looking forward to what this change brings.
Quite frankly, I'm surprised it took the science fiction and fantasy authors this long to admit game writers; there's a certain amount of overlap in the prose/game groups, not to mention the obvious affinity.
