Unpub '25
Unpub '25 was this year's festival by the Unpublished Games
Network, allowing new game designers to showcase and playtest their
offerings in an area with like-minded and experienced people. We were
there with the Gnomon Deck and a selection of games, and found it quite
informative, useful, and fun. We had a table for four hours on both
Friday March 28 and Saturday March 29, and had plenty of playtesters
participate, offer their feedback and constructive criticism, suggest
some new rule variations, and help us clean up what we have.
So, many thanks especially to (in chronological order,) Cary,
Natalia, Chris, and Trista on Friday, and Josh, Ethan, John, Liam, Jen,
Robin, Maria, Jessie, Mariah, Ronald, Steve, Susan, Gavin, Dan, Sam, and
Calvin on Saturday! Your interest was more than enough, but your input and enthusiasm were bonuses, and helped a lot!

We greatly appreciate all of the help, feedback, and compliments, and the opportunity
to hash out more about the games and Gnomon Deck while finding out what
else is out there. We're moving forward, and hope to have the deck
available for purchase as soon as possible!
