About POC Publishing

People Of Color (POC) Publishing: Empowering Voices, Building Bridges Description: People Of Color (POC) Publishing is a dynamic cooperative formed by talented tabletop role-playing game (TTRPG) developers of color. As a pioneering force in the gaming industry, POC Publishing is committed to dismantling barriers and creating a space where diverse creative voices can flourish. We understand that for many authors of color, the path to recognition and success in the publishing industry has been obscured by systemic challenges. Therefore, POC Publishing was established to serve as a guiding light, offering a supportive and inclusive community where unique stories and visions can be brought to life. At POC Publishing, we believe in the power of storytelling as a means to foster empathy, understanding, and unity. Our cooperative comprises diverse creators who share a passion for TTRPGs and a common goal: to pave the way for underrepresented authors of color, amplifying their voices, and introducing their stories to a global audience. By combining our collective expertise and resources, we aim to reshape the landscape of the gaming world, crafting a more equitable, diverse, and vibrant future.
