Our first public studio event!

Met a lot of cool folk, played some cool games, and crashed hard after from all the socializing. Rare for us to leave our witch hut.

Had a big weekend at @qgcon.bsky.social ! Spent all our time in the arcade showing our game and playing the games of cool indie devs!

So nice to have a masked event.

There are headphones and controllers and wires all over. Photo of the posters up in the arcade covering the rules of the zone.

A woodcut style card, there are clouds in the sky of stars. There is a moon with a face in the middle. The text reads "Draw two additional Fate cards". Zoom in on the moon face, it's in the style of old manuscript faces
