MEPACon is teaming up with Break My Game to bring a dedicated playtesting section to the convention. Game designers with unpublished games can sign up for two-hour sessions for a dedicated table. Attendees at the convention are invited to sit down and try out a brand new game and to give feedback.
NOTE: Since my free time is constrained as a new dad and I'm not sure I can go, this will be unhosted - i.e. you shouldn't expect to see me there. However, if you plan to go, I encourage you to connect & coordinate with our other group members who plan to go via comments on this event and/or through direct messaging.
