Do you miss going to cons?
Me too. That’s why I created A Fun Time at Con a free story creation game that celebrates gathering with other fans, with the twist that you’re playing space opera heroes arriving back home at your post-scarcity utopia after your adventures, and enjoying your shore leave by relaxing at con. It’s a low key “slice of life” game where you co-create a cozy futuristic vision that reminds you about what you love about cons.
Think: a two-act variant of For the Queen mashed up with the Miyazaki style themes of Chuubo's or the pastoralism of King of Dragon Pass.
This is a stand-alone companion to Return to the Stars, my optimistic space opera RPG where you can play as genetically enhanced cosplayers painting a better future in bold primary colors. If A Fun Time at Con is a slice of life anime, Return is a pulpy sci-fi flick. On sale half off through the end of the month.
