Pillar 1: Respect for Community

We respect you for who you are. Most of the gaming content published to date has been Eurocentric, or often based on harmful stereotypes of non-European cultures. Women and people of color have long been ignored or marginalized, and people from the LGBTQ community haven’t even registered on the page for the most part. We want to change that. In this vein, we’ve decided to use the singular they when referring to someone in general, such as when we describe the abilities of a character class. Where a gender-neutral word is available, we will typically use it, although there may be specific occasions where we will choose a gendered word instead to avoid confusion or particularly awkward sentences. Obviously, in specific cases, we will use the appropriate gendered pronoun for characters that identify as male or female. Our desire is that everyone can find someone to identify with in our work. We also recognize that this is an evolving need and that we are imperfect, and we will continue to improve over time through inclusive additions to our development team and through your constructive feedback. This will always be a process; please be patient with us.
