Pathfinder 2E / Winter Queens's Dollhouse/ Monroeville RPG Game Day
Guy on the Couch, 4053 William Penn Hwy,, Monroeville, PA, USThe dollhouse arrived from Irrisen wrapped in warning nobody in the vaults of Skyreach heeded.
The Winter Queen's Dollhouse is a Pathfinder Society Quest for Pathfinder 2e, part of the ongoing Pathfinder Quest series.
Queen Anastasia found it while sorting her aunt's vaults and sent it to the Society for study. When Aslynn's magic surged through Skyreach, the dollhouse woke with it — these were never toys, but prisons, built by the former queen Elvanna to shrink down anyone who crossed her. That magic is reaching for you now.The doll servants have woken too, as poppets. Some are glad to help. Others aren't.
- Investigative Pathfinder Society Quest with a fairy-tale edge
- Shrinking magic — the dollhouse's prisons are still active
- Poppet NPCs, allies and obstacles alike
- Part of the ongoing Pathfinder Quest series
The dollhouse never forgot who angered its queen. Don't give it a reason to remember you.
No experience with Pathfinder Society needed — pre-generated characters provided.
This table is co-hosted with the Pittsburgh Lodge's regular Pathfinder Society group. Sign up via their Warhorn if you want to bring your own character.

Fiasco / What Could Go Wrong / Monroeville RPG Day
Guy on the Couch, 4053 William Penn Hwy,, Monroeville, PA, USA small-time plan. Big ambitions. Almost no impulse control.
What Could Go Wrong is a GM-less storytelling game running on Fiasco — built in the spirit of films where ordinary people with bad plans make everything worse.
Think Coen Brothers energy: nobody involved is as clever as they think they are.
You and the table will collectively choose a setting, then use a dice draft to generate the people, relationships, and complications that define your story. From there, you'll build characters with tangled — possibly dangerous — connections to one another. No combat system, no dice-based skill checks: just scenes, decisions, and consequences the table creates together, building toward a finishing montage where everything comes apart.
This is mature content: expect intense character conflict, dark comedy, and dramatic stakes that can turn violent.
What Could Go Wrong plays best when everyone at the table is on board with where the story goes.
- Fully collaborative, no traditional GM
- Dice-drafted setup determines your story's elements
- Character relationships and motives interlock by design
- Roughly two hours, no combat mechanics
- No experience needed — character creation happens together at the table, start to finish.
