With the support of 407 generous backers we not only funded our crowdfunding campaign, but also reached all of our stretch goals! Badges codes generated by BackerKit can be claimed here. Thanks to everyone who contributed and helped make Big Bad Con 2023 possible!

Last year (2023) with the help of Pixel Circus, Big Bad Online is hosted Virtual Office Hours where TTRPG industry professionals met with nearly 60 creators from marginalized identities to help them advance their careers. The meetings took place on April 1st (no joke here!) during Big Bad Online. It was a smashing success!

The POC Programming team is continuing our work to support POCs at Big Bad Con through financial aid, a community dinner, and an industry meet and greet event. This year (2023) we’re also working with local gamers in India, South East Asia, and Latin America to bring more international POCs to the con!

More information about the POC Scholars, Meet & Greet, and Dinner.

Morgan will continue on in our memories of him. This year, Big Bad Online is dedicated in memory of Morgan Ellis. We are also creating an award in his name, the Big Bad Morgan Ellis Award (or BigBad-ME!)
