Spotlight | Assemblage Eco-Storytelling Release Party

Come celebrate the release of Assemblage, Nat Mesnard's TTRPG of world-building and world-breaking. 

We'll kick off at 4p with a short design talk between Nat and a featured guest. Then at 5p join a table to play a game of Assemblage! Nat will teach you how to play, and support you in creating your own weird ecosystem.

Together, become a weird ecology. When the world shatters, how will we survive? 

Assemblage is a science-inspired eco-fantasy TTRPG in which 2-6 players collaboratively build the story of an interdependent ecosystem on the verge of environmental disaster.

In this game, you will: 

• Use cards and a guidebook to imagine your own unique and fantastic creatures. 
• Craft the story of an ecological assemblage: a group of species tossed together in a strange habitat.
• Encounter an environmental disaster, and play to find out how (and if) you survive. 

This card-based, GM-less story game can be played in as little as 90 minutes — with flexibility to tell a longer story if you choose.

For fans of reflective story & worldbuilding games like Dialect and Microscope, Assemblage is the perfect addition to any TTRPG table seeking revolutionary, expansive play.
