Super Heroines, Etc. is celebrating 15 years!

Fifteen years ago, SHE's founder found something unexpected at a meetup group in Oklahoma: a room full of women, nonbinary, and trans folx who were just as nerdy as she was, gathered to game together. That table became SHE. This October, we're celebrating 15 years of building tables where everyone gets to be the hero of the story — and asking our community to help us go the next fifteen. Give $15 to celebrate 15 years

Super Heroines, Etc. is one of Gen Con’s 2026 Charity Partners!

“This partnership with Gen Con amplifies what Super Heroines, Etc. does best—using fandom as a force for good,” said the President of Super Heroines, Etc. Carolyn Noe. “Together, we’re creating opportunities for more people to see themselves as heroes, storytellers, and leaders within the gaming community." Learn more
