Tabletop Gaming Schedule
Dungeons and Dragons
Dungeons and Dragons: Our staff will be available every day to run games for the new, curious, and uninitiated. We pride ourselves on being able to provide a safe, judgment-free space where you can team up with a bunch of people as inexperienced as yourselves and learn to roll them bones!
Ever wanted to play D&D? Felt too overwhelmed by rules without guidance? Need a safe space where everyone else is just as new and unlikely to judge you? Drop by the tabletop department at any time for a crash course on playing D&D. Bring some friends with you to flesh out your full adventuring party.
All of the Following are games designed for beginner groups: homebrewed adventures prepared by GM’s with a combined 30 years of experience.
Friday 12:00 PM – 4:00 PM – Dungeons and Dragons for Beginners – Fairview
Presented By Donald Hobbs
A series of kidnappings and murders have been committed by goblins in outlying villages around Fairview. Adventurers from across the nation flock to the region. Will they be able to stop the goblins before they take their next victim? This event uses the D&D 5th Edition system.
Friday 3:00 PM – 7:00 PM – Dungeons and Dragons for Beginners – Sandpoint
Presented By Gina Hoover
The town of Sandpoint has been relatively quiet and safe for the past 30 years. Recently there have been rumors about strange murders in the middle of the night. The mayor is concerned for the safety of her people and has sent for help from the neighboring city. You have answered the call and are about to get to town on one of the busiest days of the year, the pyre festival. This event uses the Pathfinder System.
Friday 10:00PM – 2:00 AM – Dungeons and Dragons for Beginners – Unrelenting Ambition
There’s a city that cartographers never record, for fear of persecution. And in it, is a University, globally recognized as the premier institute for people of power. You’ve made your way to the city, whether by having the privilege to be born in it, or by being smuggled in by pirates, or through some miracle of happenstance, by crossing the country’s borders.
But survival is key in such a hostile and enormous city, and before you make it to the university, you may have to get your hands a little dirty. You’ve received a lucrative offer from a man that promises you riches, or continued success; whichever is preferred. This event uses the Pathfinder System.

Saturday 2:00 PM and Onward – Dungeons and Dragons for Beginners – Bloodied Lightning
There’s a city that cartographers never record, for fear of persecution. And in it, is a University, globally recognized as the premier institute for people of power. You’ve made your way to the city, whether by having the privilege to be born in it, or by being smuggled in by pirates, or through some miracle of happenstance, by crossing the country’s borders.
A lucrative owner of a gentleman’s club proudly runs much of the vice in the city, and is in need of a few multitalented people like yourself, people with a reputation to build, to deliver a few poignant messages to her rivals. She aims to drag you into a “dragon’s game” and wants to see if you’re willing to be more than mere pawns…
This event uses the Pathfinder System.
Saturday 4:00 PM – 8:00 PM – Dungeons and Dragons for Beginners – Magnimar
Presented By Gina Hoover
Magnimar has always had problems with its Gladiator’s Stadium. The groundskeeper had forbidden the use of slaves and death matches for 50 years. This past winter he passed and the city had been abuzz about who would take his spot. The mayor had lined his fat pockets with a generous “donation” from a mystery contributor. Now, in the summer of the year, the grand reopening of the stadium has been announced. You have been captured, coerced, or maybe even charmed into the fighting pits. No one knows the rules, but the grand price is the granting of a single wish. This event uses the Pathfinder System.
