Me and a couple of chums played our first game of #SpaceGits by @planetsmashergames.bsky.social last night. It was *a lot* of fun! We decided a paper mat would add to the chaos, and it led to lots of crease-based comedy (mainly crease=buttcrack jokes). Also, I lost

@planetsmashergames.bsky.social Played the quick start rules for space gitz with a mate. It's a barrel of laughs and can't wait for the Kickstarter to come through! All games featuring Orks should be this fun, chaotic and kitbash friendly.
