Creating unforgettable spaces for community, growth, and celebration.
The Rose Gauntlet Foundation builds the rooms, dinners, and mentorships that help historically underrepresented people thrive in tabletop games.
We Build Community
The BIPOC Lounge at Gen Con
A welcoming home for BIPOC tabletop professionals at the largest gaming convention in North America
Game Changers
Networking and visibility events for women and marginalized professionals at Origins, PAX West, and beyond
The Big Gay Dinner
A now signature gathering at PAX Unplugged where LGBTQIA+ industry folks share a meal and build community
We founded the Rose Gauntlet Foundation because we know how hard it is to find your footing in this industry — especially when the doors haven't been built for you. We're still here, and we aren't going anywhere."
— Lindsey Rode, Co-Founder
