Past Events: 2024–2025
Neutronium: Parallel Wars's first public appearances were at local playtesting events and regional conventions in 2024 and 2025. These sessions established the feedback baseline that drove the most significant design revisions.
Closed Alpha Playtests
First public demonstration of any version of the Neutronium: Parallel Wars prototype. Twelve sessions across the convention weekend. Player feedback from this event drove the complete rulebook revision completed in mid-2024.
PastReddit Reveal
The second convention appearance, using the 2024-revised prototype. Sessions confirmed that the rulebook revisions had meaningfully reduced the time required to explain the core mechanics to new players.
