Aurora Punk presented by Carey Lehrte Coleman
Aurora Punk is a rules light TTRPG system that encourages player creativity, invested character history, and limitless character advancement possibilities. This system abandons modern rpg concepts like classes, fixed skills, and rigid magic systems. It replaces them with a simple build-your-own class and make-your-own skills system. It also forgoes the traditional dice and replaces it with a deck of playing cards shared amongst the players. The players and Narrator literally have the fate of their characters in their hands. This game is for fans of rich narrative: people who would rather the rules be light guidelines to structure the story rather than the whole point of the game.

Bring Your Own Rice presented by Jay Sioson
In this asymmetric engine-builder celebrating Filipino food and a growing barangay (community), you must balance personal ambition with a generous heart to become a local legend. Every time you cook, you face a meaningful choice: sell your meals for profit, or serve them "on the house" to turn hungry neighbors into talented, loyal regulars who help your stall and the whole community thrive.

Commercium - The Silk Route Empires presented by David Young
Commercium – The Silk Route Empires is a medium weight, competitive unit-placement game for 2–5 players, set across the Roman, Parthian, Kushan, and Han Empires of the 1st century AD. Players compete to earn the most victory points as they travel from empire to empire, buying and selling historically valuable goods unique to each region while competing for limited opportunities on a shared board. A different global objective and changing selection of merchants with specialized abilities create new combinations and priorities each game.The central tension comes from choosing your own secret objectives: taking on more creates greater scoring potential, but unfinished objectives carry penalties. Rivals may claim resources you were counting on, turning long-term plans into tactical decisions about when to commit, when to pivot, and when to pursue a different opportunity. Easy to learn but highly variable, Commercium combines competitive unit placement, asymmetric abilities, push-your-luck objective selection, and multiple paths to victory.
