Next Event - TBD


How to get Invited to the Invitational

Future Pastimes is hosting our games on Tabletop Simulator / Steam where the most dedicated players join the original designers. We are beginning with invite only games, and will start taking requests to play after we have a few Invitationals completed. Cosmic Encounter is our first featured game, and we plan to do Dune: Classic, Dune: Conquest (Movie version), Dune: Arrakis Dawn of the Fremen, and Firefly Misbehavin’.

Want to do more than just watch on Twitch? Is your game strong? If you are an avid player of Future Pastimes games and are handy with Tabletop Simulator contact us to get on the guest list! We’d like to have multiple Invitationals running on the same night as we get more players. In the meantime, here’s how you can get ready.

In order to provide the best experience for everyone, it’s key to be comfortable in Tabletop Simulator. If you’ve never played, or don’t feel confident yet, contact us anyway and we’ll make some time to bring you into a practice game.


 

Invitational Games Schedule 2023

We are aiming to do at least one Invitational game per month, hopefully more if we can get enough players and the bandwidth to run the events. Check out the featured games list to see what’s available in TTS.
