About
So, I created this hashtag, #INeedDiverseGames. I did it because I am
tired of not seeing myself in the games I have spent many years playing.
I am tired of being the trope, the joke, the one that gets fridged
early in the game to fuel manpain for the PLOT.

We are dedicated to helping those that want to bring more diversity to the art of gaming. We will do this by sponsoring attendance at diverse gaming conventions, promoting those that are making diverse games, indie projects and presenting on the topics of diversity in gaming at conventions.
We also want to help others get to conventions, share their work if funding is an issue. We would love your support to send aspiring game devs to conventions like GDC, IGDA events in their city, GeekGirlCon, HavenCon, GaymerX, and other places where gaming and diversity are parts of the conversation.
We want to do this by highlighting work by marginalized, underrepresented people in the industry, getting their voices heard and their work seen be it a game, articles, etc. But that takes resources and time. We at #INeedDiverseGames would love to do this full time, dedicate all our time to you but alas bills still need to be paid.
So in the meantime, we humbly ask for your support to do the work we can and to bring change to the art form we love and want to make better!
Thank you so much for whatever support you can give towards our work.
Cheers,
