As part of introducing the PoC Lounge at Big Bad Con this year, the Special Events Team is creating a library of TTRPGs by PoC (people of color) designers to have available in the Lounge all con long! We have opened up a submission form for you to nominate your own or your favorite games by PoC designers for the Special Events Team to consider adding to the library. You can find the game nomination form here.

The deadline for nominations is Monday, August 5th.

Anyone can nominate a game for consideration, however we respectfully request that any games submitted are written by a single PoC designer/all or majority PoC design team.

We would like to encourage "pick up and play" games in the PoC Lounge so shorter games (1 to 20 pages) are best. Quickstart guides to longer games are encouraged. We may consider longer games if they are considered "rules lite".

No, previous attendance is not necessary and we will not be checking to see if any designers on the game have been to Big Bad Con before.

As long as the game matches and fits the qualifications above (shorter game written by a PoC or majority PoC team), then yes! Please submit your games!

The game I want to submit is digital only. Can I still submit it? 

Yes! Please note games that don't have a physical version to purchase will be printed by Big Bad Con for use in the PoC Lounge. No other copies will be printed or distributed. 

 

Due to a limited budget, we can't buy every game submitted, but we will do our best to buy games from a variety of creators. Unfortunately we don't have the capacity to notify you as to whether your submission was purchased or not at this time.

For more information, please see the game submission form, which is available here.
