PAX East starts not too long from now, May 8. Just about every major video game and tabletop publisher will be there, but we’d like to spotlight a few of the smaller, scrappier publishers and developers on the show floor. There isn’t enough space to mention every single one of them, but you should keep a lookout for these folks… 9th Level Games, Booth 10105: An indie tabletop roleplaying publisher with a mission to introduce more first-timers to the world of TTRPGs. They produce a line of simplified TT games called “Funshot,” with titles like Pigeon’s Eleven and Sentai & Sensibility, that run on their own engine called the Polymorph Rules System. ByteRockers Games, Booth 17096: Based out of Berlin, Germany, ByteRockers has existed since 2008, contains nearly 40 members, and has quite a few indie titles to their record. They’re best known for the titles Insurmountable and Beat Slayer, but at PAX they’ll be showing off their latest projects Net.Attack(), Let Them Trade, Constance, Solnox – Grimoire of Seasons, The Berlin Apartment, and Exovia.

I’m planning to go to PAX East this year, and now I know where to look when I want something different. The Worn Wanderers thing from Cleromancy sounds kind of strange, but I’m curious. Wearing your cards? That’s new.


Also, Super Cucumber sounds hilarious. I didn’t know I needed an aardvark superhero game, but now I do. I’ll be sure to stop by Cubicorn’s booth.

 

[Here We go!]

I’ve been to PAX once before and it was super crowded, so I didn’t get to check out the indie booths much. This time, I want to make more time for that. This article helps a lot. Some of the games sound fun and unusual, like Sol Mates. I enjoy co-op games and this one seems like it would be a good time with friends.


The idea of a strategy card game that you wear still sounds kind of hard to imagine, but I’ll try it if I see them there. I like that some of these developers are trying weird ideas. I think that’s what makes the indie area better sometimes than the bigger games. You get to play things that don’t follow the usual rules.

Alright, now I want to become the greatest aardvark superhero. Super Cucumber wins best name right now. This list made me smile.


Also, that pin battle game from Cleromancy? That’s the kind of strange idea I go to cons for. I don’t even care if it works well—I just want to try it.


Thanks for the heads-up. I’ll be checking out ByteRockers too. Beat Slayer had style.
