If you happen to be at #PaxU this weekend you can pick up a physical copy of a zine I contributed to!! Rituals for Dead games by @summoningpress.bsky.social is at the expo hall, booth 4059 (wayyyy in the back lol) I love the concept for this project and it’s so cool to see the print edition!
The cover of Rituals for Dead games. The zine sits on a table with a black table cloth. The cover is white with blue crushed flower petals The back of a zine. A white page with text “Revisit Your Gaming Past
For the first time, Summoning Circle Press brings you a full booklet of games! Strange, poetic, ritualistic, playable experiences to be specific. These rituals we offer you are for your grief related to Dead Games. Sometimes games never get past one session, characters are gone too soon, a scheduling apocalypse leaves you hanging, or finally, after years of campaigning, the story ends. All endings have weight. Let us help you carry what we can.” The Good Luck Press booth at Pax U. There are a number of ttrpg books and zines on a table with a black table cloth. There is a purple banner hanging on the back wall.

Wes is a key member of the Plus One team and a dear friend. We will be helping as much as we can, but that means sharing the ability to support this. If you have picked up a zine from us in the last year, there is a huge chance Wes helped make it happen. Help get them out of the DC metro.

I had a font crisis. Rituals for Dead Games will be available THIS WEEKEND! Tell a friend. Five rituals, just for you.
Updated zine cover. Half the title: "Rituals for" is now handwritten on torn brown paper in the top left corner. The blue roses remain as the background image. The rest of the title "Dead Games" is now stylized where the word dead is faded and wavy.
