Big thank you to Professor David Riche and his students for inviting Waterbear Workshop's Shadoe Konicek to speak with his @uofdenver.bsky.social students about playtesting and rulebook design, many of whom have games in the works themselves!

Excited to double announce our upcoming publication, a social intrigue game about demonic possession in the early to mid 20th century, AND our presence at the Zymos Halloween Market in Littleton, CO!
Come experience the game, find out what sin plagues you, and learn what else we've got in store.
