I remember this one. It’s fun! Great distillation of games like Diplomacy and Game of Thrones.

Probably not. It’s a roll&write where you use templates to draw paths on a shared galaxy map and it looks like this:

Come to Unpub and look for the red tablecloth!

Mostly I’ll be testing Smash Dash, but I’ll also have Dying Suns and Rule the Stars with me, so I’ll try to get them to the table too.

I’m excited to check this out! Each of your games I’ve seen have something really interesting going on.

I’ll also have my sci-fi sandbox deckbuilder, my roll&write that uses templates to draw paths on a star map, and my light dexterity party game. They (almost) all fit in this box!)

My focus this year is Smash Dash, a real-time combat racing game for teams of two (and a crooked referee). It’s chaotic and goofy but with lots of opportunities for collaboration and clever play.

Rule the Stars - Roll&write about expanding across the galaxy by tracing paths on a star map.
Dying Suns - Adventure sandbox deckbuilder about starship captains in a dying galaxy.
Color flip - Simple dexterity party game where you flip big colored discs trying to get 3 of your color touching first.

Yes, but I think you might need to open DMs or follow me first to enable that.
In the meantime, here’s a super quick overview of my games:
Smash Dash - Real-time combat racing for teams of 2 (and a crooked referee). (Thanks for the kind words @gregisonthego.bsky.social!)

Greg maybe you can help me with this:

“Somebody once told me
His works he’d like to show me
He said they’d fill me with fear and dread.
He was looking kind of dumb
With two legs out in the sun
And nearby, a shattered stone head.”

Please someone tell me they have screenshots of PateraQuetzaI’s epic Twitter thread that I’m quoting here.
Have you ever traveled off in an antique land
And encountered two legs of stone in the sand?
Let me tell you a story of lifeless things
Of the trunk of Ozymandias, King of Kings.
