    As it is vital to our community commitment not to promote a known abuser, Zak S nor his games will not be allowed a platform at our convention. There are so many great games and designers out there we'd rather have on our schedule bigbadcon.com/reinforcing-ou…

    We continually review our COVID policies to keep our attendees as safe as possible. Keeping these measures in place means accessibility for more people in need. We want to keep as many people as safe as we can! Without our community and their participation, we wouldn't be here.

    We've heard the reports of poor, even aggressive, behavior towards PoC at recent gaming conventions. These incidents are lessons for us all. It reaffirms our mission to be a safer space, make room for, and promote PoC, women and the LGBTQIA+ communities at our event.
