All are welcome at our table; we even accept monopoly players, though we don’t own it.

Trans rights are human rights. #ProtectTheDolls

If you are interested in gaming, usually of the board-type variety, our community is open to you. You do not need to have experience, you do not need to own 20+ different sets of dice (they call to me), and you do not need to have played in any RPG to be a part of our community.

The IGA has a DEI Policy that strictly prohibits discrimination on the grounds of gender, marital status, family status, age, disability, sexual orientation, race, religion, and membership of the Traveller community.

The gaming community is built from diversity, with people from all backgrounds contributing to this hobby we share. The IGA wouldn’t be where it is without the contributions of countless volunteers, many of whom are in the LGBTQ+ community.

I think it’s obvious to say that we are seeing an increase in intolerance and hate in the world. Between the US being what it is, the UK putting laws into place that negatively impact all of our sisters, and intolerance rearing its ugly head elsewhere, there is no room for silence.

Colm is also the director of MOGI - the Museum of Games Ireland, in Killarney, which is dedicated to archiving and recording the hobby.
He will be participating in panels over the weekend, a special MOGI collection will be on display, and will also GM Heroquest for a select group over the weekend.
