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

April 2024
Berlin, Germany

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.

Past

Reddit Reveal

September 2025
Central Europe (multi-city)

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.
