It's that time of year again!

Games submitted to this jam will be collected into a charity bundle benefiting two LGBTQ+ focused organizations in Ohio: Trans Ohio and Kaleidoscope Youth Center. 

TransOhio: TransOhio is dedicated to protecting and advancing the rights of trans, nonbinary, intersex, and gender nonconforming people in Ohio. Our vision is: to serve as a bridge to other LGBTQ+ and ally communities; to provide a focus for matters of concern to the Ohio transgender community and their allies by providing open, affirming, visible and tangible support; to promote opportunities and networking that increase awareness of the Transgender and gender-nonconforming community needs and concerns such, as discrimination and violence; to increase lesbian, gay, bisexual, heterosexual, and ally understanding and cultural awareness of the Ohio Transgender community to help ensure that Ohio educational programs and services are inclusive and supportive of Ohio Transgender issues, perspectives, and concerns; to provide social activities that are inclusive of all LGBTQ+ and ally communities, access to safe-spaces, people, forums for confidential discussion, support, and local and national resource information; to foster Ohio Transgender community pride

Kaleidoscope Youth Center: We've been around since 1994. And we're still one of a kind. In fact, we're the largest and longest-standing organization in Ohio solely dedicated to serving and supporting LGBTQIA+ youth. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we work to provide a safer place, programming, and leadership opportunities so that youth can be free to explore who they are and empowered to become their confident, truest self.

I (Rue, the organizer) and my co-founder and executive assistant, Rina, have previously run the TTRPGs for Trans Rights in Texas, Florida, and West Virgina bundles, raising over $1 million for trans charities!

Games can be new, existing, or works in progress. They can be paid games or free games- we want to bring together as much of the community as possible! The only rule is that games cannot be transphobic, homophobic, racist, ableist, or bigoted in any other way. 

TTRPGs, Board Games, Zines, digital tools for games, and more are welcome! If you have any questions, feel free to ask me!

If you  are a larger publisher who uses their own platform to distribute games, please email rue@ilananight.space or DM me on twitter or Bluesky if you would like to participate in the bundle. We're happy to work with you to figure out a method for you to be a part of this!
