the night is for everyone We endeavor to create beautiful, memorable tabletop games with a focus on goals and outcomes that match the complexity and curiosity of real life. https://lunarpunk.games https://discord.gg/RUKkAUEQ6g
In what ways can board games improve society? Xoe talks with @gregisonthego.bsky.social about the social lessons games can teach us and how they can start important conversations, often through the lens of his design Keep the Faith, and his codesign Bloc by Bloc!

Thank you for your initiative in publishing scholarly games! So happy that Keeping the Faith has a home with you!

If you're in the Los Angeles area, Xoe is going to be repping Lunarpunk Games at Little Tokyo's Zinefest at table E8!
Going to be selling Vibes and Conviction and stuff there!
It's from 9am to 4pm!

It was great chatting with you!
It can be tricky balancing a multivictor game that rides the line between cooperative and competitive. Come listen to us chat with @zesock.bsky.social about the lessons he learned balancing his game Thieve's Dilemma for both playstyles.

What if I'm the Devil? just arrived!
Very excited to check this out.
It was released during the @lunarpunk.games Midnight Market!
I am delighted to see ColorJam! connecting with MAGFest attendees. @lunarpunk.games had the brilliant idea of creating larger-than-life coloring pages, and this group pulled one right off the easel and just started playing!
Play it now at the tabletop section in the Riverview Ballroom!

Me doing an unguided test of convention hall neighbor @lunarpunk.games Colorjam in between demos. You make a little rondel of crayons and can only use the color in a given numbered position to fill in an area with the same number. Used crayon goes to the end and the rest slide up
Awesome! Looking forward to seeing what you have cooking.
Hope to see you next time!
It's been so great making games with you!
We'll be at Magfest next week with some cool unranked games and propaganda, plus offering up a little sneaky peaky at what we're bringing to the table in 2026. 🌚
Who else is going to be there this year?
Heck yeah! Feel free to DM us here or we can chat over Discord (server link here: discord.gg/RUKkAUEQ6g) to set something up.
Absolutely!
Want to make your own multivictor and victorless games and looking for designer insight?
We meet with designers each month making these kinds of games and interview them in our Dialogues at Dusk series (linked below).
Also, if you're making games like this, we'd love to have you on!
Howdy all you new peeps!
If you're curious about Conviction, you can find it here:
www.lunarpunk.games/conviction
You should also follow @lunarpunk.games , since that's my latest vessel for talking shop on games, breaking down their hierarchies, and publishing weird indie stuff.
They do not!
Ordered 100 boxes of crayons today.

We spoke with @junkfoodgames.bsky.social about melding elements of board games and TTRPGs, creating play without an exact destination, and how to use victorless conditions to break boundaries within game design. You can watch the full video here! 🎲✂️
This is such a cool conversation about the intersection of TTRPG/story games and board games, journaling games, and open play. Chris is an inspiration to me, as are Xoe and Matt, so I'm excited to listen in. The discussion is live, now!
This is tonight! Hope to see you there. 🌙
I'm excited to chat with Xoe and Matt on Wednesday night!
Join us over on discord!

Conviction by @xoe.gay is now available.
A stable stalwart and an intrepid idealist vowed to live in harmony forever. But now, the two find themselves in a grim quarrel.
You must decide if they cooperate, separate, or one dominates the story of their lives.
The night is for mediation. 🌙
A few folks have asked me when I'm playtesting the game that used to be called Roux Mates and Spell Week at #PAXU. Here's your answer!
