Smashbash

Independent mini and game publisher in Oakland, CA. Publishes Sun Rot and sells handmade miniatures from Inq28-scene sculptors.

Smashbash is an independent mini and game publisher based in Oakland, CA. It was co-founded by Matt Ross and Cat Origitano, and its best-known game is Sun Rot, a cooperative grimdark board game Ross created.

The shop is mostly metal and resin miniatures from artists who came up in the Inq28 kitbashing scene, including Ana Polanšćak (Gardens of Hecate), Hannes Rhodin, Weirding Way, and Nick Borelli’s moldmoldmold. Smashbash says it refuses AI art. It also runs a kitbash competition, with the details on its site.
