Awkward Dinner Party - Opening online playtests to the general public!
hello, to all my supporters, paid and non-paid! I have an announcement which may be either good or bad news. Last week, I set up four sessions of "awkward dinner party" that could be run online. each game has 25 slots for players, which meant a total of only 100 people would be able to play the game (or at least, a game run by me)
I was very worried that not everyone who is a supporter of mine would be able to get to play with these limited slots, but after taking a look at the RSVPs over the next few days, it seems that the opposite problem has happened-- there aren't enough people signed up for the game to actually run yet! At the time of writing, there are still about 80 slots left.
So the small modification I have made, and I hope my paid supporters understand and can forgive me for changing plans on them, is that I'm opening these games to the general public so as many slots as possible fill up and you get the best version of playing the game -- it really is more fun with more players. I still want to give priority to paid supporters for games, so if you are a paid supporter who was planning on signing up for a game and that day gets completely full, reach out to me via DMs, I will do my best to make sure you get to play!
If you happen to be reading this right now and you are not a paying supporter, the great news is you can now join in on the fun! I was originally planning to run two public games, but there are now four games you can join. I invite you to come play, and I'm very grateful that you're helping fill some slots so that everyone can have a good time.
Before I share the partiful link to the RSVPs below, I'll share with you what I shared with my supporters last week:
Spots are limited!
The game is still being playtested, it may be rough around the edges.
you must be 18+ to play.
Please only sign up for one game.
Sorry, no rescheduling!
If I have to cancel a game for any reason, there will be a makeup game.
Okay, here's all the links!
Thank you so much to everyone reading, I hope to see you at one of these sessions. I also hope this announcement wasn't a disappointment to anyone! If it was, please let me know and I'll do my best to make it right. I would not be able to do what I do without everyone who is following and supporting my game-making work, so your happiness is important to me!

Best of luck with the games! This seems like good fun! BTW- the invite link for Feb 20th seems to not go anywhere! Not sure if that’s on accident or if that one is full :)
I'd like to participate but it's 12 am in Spain when it's 6 pm EST 😭 I hope everyone has an awesome time playing it!!
I hope you get all the players you need! I would be there but I happen to have a work trip those days ugh 😩 Good luck and hope you have so much fun!
Seems totally valid to open it up now! I'm not participating because I'm too shy for this kind of thing so I hope whoever joins has a good time and that all goes well <3
I think this is a great idea to get the most opinions/feedback for your new game, Terry! Sorry that I am unable to join, and I hope everyone has a (masquerade) ball! 🥳✨
