Join the mission
The Institute is currently founder-led and built through consultation and collaboration with others across tabletop roleplaying. Over time, the goal is to grow the Institute alongside the network of people contributing to its mission.
Growing the future of tabletop roleplaying will take founders, creators, researchers, and participants working together. If that resonates with your work, let's talk.
