Tabletop Game Designers Association to launch in 2024
The Tabletop Game Designers Association – a new organisation dedicated to supporting tabletop game designers – is set to launch in Q1 2024.
Game designers Elizabeth Hargrave, Sen Foong-Lim and Geoff Engelstein are the founding leadership team for the TTGDA. The organisation will look to support designers of all types of tabletop games, including board games, role playing games, card games, miniature games and others, whether mass market, specialty or hobby.
Operating as a membership, the TTGDA will provide its members with benefits including model contracts and contract reviews, as well as advocacy and dispute mediation with publishers.
There will also be a regular newsletter and plans are in place for a publisher directory and peer mentoring, along with discounts for design conferences and prototyping services.
The Association will welcome members from around the world, with an initial focus at launch on North America.
