Badges

Please Note: The January 2024 event will not include Tabletop Simulator as a supported digital prototyping platform. All attending designers looking to playtest their games will need to use alternate tools. Read our statement about this current policy for more details.

Event Starts: Friday, January 12, 2023 at 12 noon EST
Event Ends: Sunday, January 14, 2023 at midnight EST

You can attend on your own schedule with our 24 hour moderated open playtesting.

Fundraiser to Support Human Rights

10% of your total badge cost goes to our featured charities. When you register for your badge, you can choose 1 charity or split your contribution across all 6.

Help a Fellow Attendee with a +Scholarship Badge

With the help of many generous sponsors, Protospiel Online is offering scholarships for attendees who need help covering the cost of their badge. You can help increase the number of scholarships we give away by purchasing a +Scholarship badge for $30 more than your base badge price. As a thank you, we'll add you to our Sponsors page.
