Warhammer 40 000 (40k) and other games are often about war and conflict in a grim Sci-Fi or malevolent, fantastical setting. In these games, a player's sole focus is the wanton destruction of their opponent. Out of the game, though, it couldn’t be more different.

Of course, games like 40k appeal to, and are enjoyed, by a diverse group of players not unlike the diverse factions of 40k. However, unlike 40k, we aren’t set to destroy each other. Our players come from different backgrounds and identify with a variety of diverse social groups and each individual has the right to belonging, dignity, safety, and respect. This is what this event stands by.

This is because Warhammer is for everyone, regardless of gender identity, sexual orientation, Indigeneity, race, ethnicity, age, ability, religion, citizenship, or experience. Our quest is to foster an inclusive environment that empowers generational diversity and creates space for everyone to have fun and enjoy!

Our goal is to build and empower a community of culturally diverse players: where everyone belongs, that helps develop Warhammer into a game that better represents our growing community.

Because of this, this event seeks to provide a safe and inclusive environment for all to enjoy. It is our hope that the environment we provide will inspire any and all to come join this incredibly fun and wild hobby of ours.

How we define D&I: Diversity – all of the ways we are unique, seen and unseen. Inclusion – Everyone feels heard, valued, and a sense of belonging. Diversity and inclusion fuels creativity, so we’re creating an environment where differences are embraced, valued, celebrated and always welcomed.

Last but not least, we understand there is still work to do, and we will continue our efforts by focusing on our players, culture, content, and communities.
