The Role Initiative (TRI) is a group of like-minded individuals that aim to expand the hobby of role-playing games through helping the community and raising funds for other not for profit companies and charities. Unofficially born at PAX East 2016 while supporting the organized play arm of Dungeons and Dragons, Adventurers League, we officially became a not for profit company mid-June 2017. We sup
port local game stores by running events and game days and run multi-table conventions by organizing and facilitating areas of role-playing games. While currently the focus has been on Adventurers League, this will not always be the case as there are other organized play organizations that also need assistance in the area. Over the past year, we have also started creating custom “Convention Created Content” as part of Adventurers League to offer conventions premier content that cannot be played at any other location. Our goal, as is with the rest of the CCC program, is to provide small, local conventions with exclusive content; not everyone can make it to a big convention, and we want to make sure even the little guys have something special to spice up the experience. Starting at Carnage Con 2016, we shifted focus of our group, from just running conventions being the end goal, to helping charities like Extra Life through the events and conventions that we run.
