Trade association for independent game designers
The Indie Game Developer Network (IGDN) is a trade association for developers of indie role-playing games, board games, card games, and LARPs.[1] They present the annual Indie Groundbreaker Awards at Gen Con.[2][3][4] Their other programs include a scholarship to attend the game designer convention Metatopia, a mentorship program, and a peer coaching program.[5][6]
Indie Groundbreaker Awards[edit]The Indie Groundbreaker Awards began in 2016 and are offered in 5 categories: Game of the Year, Best Art, Best Setting, Best Rules, and Most Innovative. They are judged by a rotating panel of game designers. After the Indie RPG Awards gave their final set of awards in 2017,[7] IGDN's Indie Groundbreaker Awards took on their function in the tabletop role-playing game community of evaluating and recognizing achievements in independent game design.
