Big Bad Con announcement.

Announcement for 2025.

We hope everyone had a peaceful holiday season full of comfort and connection. Thanks to everyone for your thoughtful responses regarding BBO for 2025. Big Bad Online will be on hiatus this year, to return refreshed in 2026. Until then, gratitude for your continued support.

And with that last message, our volunteer staff is taking a well-deserved break until January 2025. This account may be checked sporadically but replies will not be timely. Take care and we will see y'all in 2025!

As we wrap up this year, we have matched our donations to both Palestinian Children's Relief Fund and Crips for eSims for Gaza! If you still wish to donate, the links will be provided in subsequent messaging. Thanks to everyone who donated! (1/3)

#BigBadCon2024 attendees! Give us your feedback so we can improve the con for next year! You can edit your responses, so if you recall something after you submit, you can return to add more. The form closes on 12/15 and we will analyze the data in January.

#BigBadCon2024 (A Thought or Two) by @merrilee.bsky.social may give you all the feels about our past convention and we thank them for their kind words.

We have fantastic scholarship statistics for #BBC24! • Total scholarship applications: 165 • Total scholarship offers: 135 • Total funds offered: $98,400! • 70% of the offers and 74% of the funds raised went to people of color! Take a moment and let that sink in. #amazing

Breaking news for #BBC24! It is official. We are sold out of badges for this year and we will not have badges for sale at the door or during the convention.

Do you know the Munchkin man? We do! Thank you from all of us to Steve Jackson Games for their generous #BBC24 donation of $5,000! All of their excellent games including Munchkin can be found on their website!

Who doesn't like good news first thing in the morning? Along with @DriveThruRPG, we are chuffed to announce that our community pitched in and raised over 13k for our convention AND our #BBC24 Scholarship! Y'all did the thing and we thank you.

There is still time left to pick up one of the two bundles hosted by @dtrpg.bsky.social. The content is fabulous and the proceeds benefit the #BigBadCon Scholarship. It is such a value that you could snag BOTH and still come out ahead!

Go for it!
