2025 WINTER CONFERENCE
Introducing... Reacting 3.0!
Join us for the virtual Reacting Winter Conference, live in your own home, from January 16th–18th, 2025!
In addition to the four games we're playing--one classic, one newly-published, and two exciting games at Level 3--we'll also begin the process of rolling out Reacting 3.0, sharing the goals, plans, and drafts of the new standards we've been developing.
Join us in plenary sessions to understand how RTTP will be changing in the coming months and years: what you can expect, and how you can still influence the process! We'll offer peeks at the new formats and discuss the whys and wherefores of these changes, and leave time to address your questions and concerns.
