THIS SCHEDULE IS NOT FINAL! WE’RE IN THE PROCESS OF UPLOADING THE FINAL SUBMISSIONS AND FITTING THEM IN - THINGS MAY CHANGE! Game signups will open on Sunday September 20th at 2 pm. Tickets purchased on Zeffy will be uploaded daily in the evening, and we’ll announce in the Discord when that has happened. You’ll also get an automated email from Sched when your ticket has been uploaded, with instructions on how to log in.
VRacer: Hoverbike is a fast-paced, combat racing game for 2-6 players, based on the VR game of the same name, where victory depends as much on smart bidding as it does on smart racing. Before the race begins, players draft a hand of Weapon Cards through a tense auction — every credit you spend is gone for good, whether you win the auction or not, and how much you spend determines your starting position on the grid. Spend big to guarantee the best weapons and start dead last, or hang back, save your credits, and take Pole Position with a thinner hand. Once the race starts, each turn is a simple choice: roll the die for a safe, predictable move, or play your Active Card for a bigger push down the track paired with a weapon or ability — missiles, mines, homing attacks, EMPs, and more, each with their own range and risk. Power-Up spaces let you refresh your hand mid-race, Turbo spaces reward tight racing lines, and Shields offer a one-time bailout when a rival has you lined up. Every decision trades movement now against firepower later, all the way to the finish line.
Use your unique talents to fight monsters collecting their bounties. Bounties add to your total score at the end of the game. Each Hero has their own abilities, and deck of cards to play with. Use attack cards, and items to damage or kill Monsters on the table.
James Ernest is always cooking something new, and we’re never certain what it might be. These days he’s as likely to show off a new version of something old, or a rough version of something new. When this text was written, the game might not even have existed yet. Come join in the fun!

Lumberjacks is a strategy game for 2–6 players in which each player manages a crew of 3 lumberjacks across a full year, structured as 24 rounds. Players compete to harvest timber, invest in their operations, and adapt to shifting seasonal conditions, all while managing limited resources and reacting to events affecting the whole table.
Players win by building the most successful logging operation delivering the most logs by year's end, balancing short-term harvesting opportunities against long-term investment and adaptability. The game emphasizes meaningful player agency and avoids dominant strategies, so no single path to victory is optimal in every game — success depends on reading the season, managing your role's strengths, and adapting as conditions change.
