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.

New Fate Card. What if this is my new profile picture?
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
