Join us for the inaugural session of the Summer Season (May – August)!
Official event start time is 6pm. Gaming usually begins around 6:30pm and goes until 9pm or 10pm.
(Folks who arrive early to this first session will get priority selection of the games.)
We have five tables of games this season:
Slugblaster: Kickflip Over a Quantum Centipede (Forged in the Dark)
GM: Eric S.
Description: Your crew of teenagers use hoverboards to cut holes between dimensions seeking fun, sponsorship, the 1080 off the pink sand canyon in Vastiche that no one's managed to land yet (on tape), and that next elusive mod for your gear that will make it just right. Meanwhile, you're bored, you're fighting with your parents, the crew is breaking up(?!?), and there's a bug the size of a house that's trying to eat you. But there will always be that night you never forget as you lie in the grass and look up at the infinite field of stars in the sky above Empyrean and realize, in a moment of lucidity, that this is at once the happiest and the saddest you will ever be in your entire life. Slugblaster uses a slimmed-down Forged in the Dark system for exciting, frantic chases and character driven story arcs in a sandbox multiverse.
The Wild Beyond Hickory Hollow (Old School Essentials)
GM: Spencer O.
Description: Ancient secrets, treasures, and magics await discovery in the Wild for those brave (or foolhardy?) enough to venture forth. You and your fellow adventurers have recently arrived at the quiet village of Hickory Hollow, nestled in the foothills of the Brambleberry Mountains at the edge of the Wild. Unbeknownst to the residents, though, a mysterious and dark force looms just over the horizon… "The Wild Beyond Hickory Hollow” is a player-driven, exploration-focused campaign in the old-school tradition, and uses the Old-School Essentials (OSE) ruleset with slight modifications.
Welcome to Magonia (Cypher System)
GM: Tobias W.
Description: Welcome to the town of Magonia, circa 2024, southeastern Wisconsin's unofficial home of high strangeness. Sure, everybody has heard the stories--weird lights in the sky and unknown creatures lurking in the woods--but most people don't believe them. Except for you, because you know better. Maybe you are one of those creatures, or maybe you're just a human who's seen too much; either way, you're part of the Invisible World now. There's no going back, and you've got to protect what's yours from threats both otherworldly and mundane.
Cypher System allows players to create almost any character they can imagine. Anything from elves and other faeries to supernatural creatures like werewolves to even weirder entities like Mothman, and everything in-between (including all types of human characters, from mundane people thrust unexpectedly into high strangeness to wizards and psychics), are playable characters in Magonia.

Doomground (Original Dungeons & Dragons)
GM: Victor R.
Description: Hundreds of years ago, Doomground was the site of the last cosmic battle between Law and Chaos. With the adherents of Chaos and their minions defeated, the land has been quiet since then. Only the ruin of the last bastion of the Princes of Chaos remains in the middle of The Mire. Recently, there have been rumblings and disturbances, and sightings of ill omens - adventurers are needed to explore what is - as yet - unknown. This game is an opportunity to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Original Dungeons & Dragons, and see what the game was like back at the beginning. Expect to go through a process of ""unlearning"" as we help each other discover what it was like back oh-so-long-ago.
Hot Springs Island (Dungeon World)
GM: Colin C.
Description: Embark on a unique journey with the Martel Company to Hot Springs Island! As agents of this powerful trading company, you'll navigate political intrigue, uncover mysteries, and face the strange and elemental. You'll need to rely on your wits for a compass in this expedition.
