Sunday March 16, 2025 09:30 - 12:00 PDT
Merv: The Heart of the Silk Road is an economic game charting the rise and fall of the greatest city in the world.
In Merv, players are vying to amass power and wealth in the prosperous heart of the Silk Road. Through careful court intrigue, timely donations to the grand mosque, and favorable trade deals, players attempt to redirect as much of that prosperity as possible into their own pockets.
Meanwhile, beyond the city walls Mongol hordes approach. If you help construct the city walls, you give up on precious opportunities to build up your own stature, but leave it unprotected and you will burn with the city. Every decision is weighty and the consequences of each misstep are dire. Will you rise to prominence or fade into oblivion? Learners are welcome.

Rise & Fall FULL
Sunday March 16, 2025 09:30 - 12:00 PDT
Rise & Fall is a full control strategic game. Each player controls a civilization trying to expand and progress in a fantasy world. This world displays a unique landscape where glaciers live on islands and huge cliffs are common barriers and challenges to overcome.

In this gorgeous land each player starts with a small tribe including a village, a citizen and a ship and will grow to a full civilization with more of the pre-mentioned units but also temples, merchants and the precious highlanders, the only ones able to pass those astonishing cliffs.

Rise & Fall is a very immersive and addictive game, easy to understand, with no luck or randomness involved. The initial creation of the world by itself is a real pleasure and each game brings a different map to the table.

Argent: the Consortium FILLING
Sunday March 16, 2025 09:30 - 13:30 PDT
The time has come for the selection of a new Chancellor at Argent University of Magic, and you are among the likely candidates for the job. Gather your apprentices, ready your spellbook, and build your influence, while secretly discovering and competing over the votes of a limited Consortium of influential board members. Only the one who is able to fulfill the most criteria will claim the title of most influential mage in the World of Indines!

Argent: The Consortium is a cutthroat worker-placement/engine-building game of manipulation and secrecy in which the criteria for victory are secret and the capabilities of your opponents are constantly changing. You'll need to outwit the other candidates, use your spells at the right moment, and choose the correct apprentices to manage your plan.

Unfathomable is pretty much Battlestar Galactica 2nd ed, a semi co-op game where the players are working together to guide a cruise through the dangerous waters of the Atlantic. However, some players are secretly cultists and hybrids that are manipulating in the shadows to make the cruise sink.

I will be adding the expansion From the Abyss to it, which adds new cool enemies for the cultists and new allies for the Humans.

New players are welcome, but please try to watch a "Learn how to play" video for the base game so the rule explanation can be more an overview rather than a full explanation.

Crash Pandas — Street Racing: "Its Trash CAN not Trash CAN'T." FULL
Sunday March 16, 2025 09:30 - 13:30 PDT
This game is an elaborate opportunity to roleplay as a group of characters hopeful to win the upcoming championship of an underground street racing league.
With a series of three races your characters will secure, upgrade and race with the ultimate prize in mind.

The rules are there ain't no rules, all right?

Now all of that is exciting enough, however, our intrepid adventurers are not humans, they are a ragtag group of street racoons desperate to change their fates!
So much like the concept of 3 kobolds in a trenchcoat, the race with 5 raccoons in a Mazda is bound to be exciting.

Preparation: I recommend coming up with a NAME, a THEME (think career/hobby in Racoon land), and a DESCRIPTOR (a couple of words to describe your personality). This game gives you a bonus to rolls when it is tied to your THEME/BACKSTORY and a bigger bonus if it is the CORE THEME of your backstory.

I HAVE ATTACHED THE ONE PAGE RULES TO THE EVENT.

D&D 5e 2024 — The Ruins of Tuboshiro FULL
Sunday March 16, 2025 09:30 - 13:30 PDT
This is an adventure for players 13+ and characters at the 3rd level!

"It took them up the mountainside!"

For as long as anyone can remember, the village of Domai has thrived in the shadow of Tuboshiro, the ancient ruins perched high on the mountainside. Its crumbling towers and silent halls have always been a mystery, older than memory itself. Some whisper of untold riches hidden beyond its traps and fiendish foes. Others claim it is a cursed tomb, the final resting place of an evil king.

But now, the ruins stir. Domai’s children have vanished without a trace, and strange lights and sounds have begun emanating from the castle. This is no coincidence: something—or someone—has taken the children to Tuboshiro.

You and your companions must enter its forbidden halls, and uncover its darkest secrets before time runs out and the fate of Domai's children is sealed. But beware—Tuboshiro is no mere ruin. Whatever sleeps within has awakened, and it will not let its secrets go without a fight.

Fall of Delta Green — On a Bank, By Moonlight FULL
Sunday March 16, 2025 09:30 - 13:30 PDT
1968. Two people in the small town of Milltown, NY die on the same night. One was a tragic car accident; the other, shot in self-defence by the police. Both were members of the same commune of hippies and drop-outs that’s taken over a farm just outside town.

Police reports contain references to chanting. To carven idols. To strange ceremonies by moonlight.

As Agents of DELTA GREEN, a top-secret branch of the US Government, your mission is to investigate those deaths, find out the truth – and take whatever action is necessary to eradicate any unnatural influence. When your predecessors raided Innsmouth in 1928, DELTA GREEN saw what the unnatural can do if it takes root in America.

It cannot be allowed to happen again.

Ironsworn: Starforged — Hardened Stars FULL
Sunday March 16, 2025 09:30 - 13:30 PDT
We fled to the Forge as a last resort. This galaxy serves us no shortage of dangers and opportunities in equal measure that are often one and the same. But humanity has persisted. There are many mysteries of our new home to be uncovered. We explore, mediate, discover, create, and fight as we adapt to living here. While there is much out there we haven’t encountered, we also did not escape all of the problems of our original home. We brought with us our malice, our systems of power, and a capability for cruelty. To overcome these faults we carry with us and the perils of this galaxy, we chose to take an iron vow, a sacred oath. A promise to someone else or to ourselves that propels us into the great cold void. We will not be dissuaded. We won’t give in.

Come play as Ironsworn, driven and capable people of the Forge, in this science fiction adventure. At the table, we will create the galaxy of the Forge with all of its peoples, history, conflicts, and mysteries. We will make heroes bound by their oaths to explore, discover, make relationships, and leave their mark on the galaxy. Then we will take the plunge into adventure based on the choices we made. The narrative focused system of Ironsworn: Starforged ensures that all actions are meaningful and keep the story interesting and progressing.

Bring your creativity and collaborate with your fellow players to create a fantastic story together. Safety tools will be in play.

Still, someone might need to investigate the rumours of a magical pyramid that is whispered to be the source of the disease and the lunacy. Who knows, there might be treasure!  Pre-rolled 3rd level characters will be available, or you can bring your own OSR characters.

Last Train to Bremen FULL
Sunday March 16, 2025 09:30 - 13:30 PDT
Thirteen years ago, four struggling musicians made a deal with the Devil. What were they chasing? Fame, riches, adoration. Your classic Devil fare.

What happened next? Well, you know the way these stories go: the damned fools got it in their head to try and outrun their end of the bargain.

See, the Devil is coming to collect his due, and he doesn’t take kindly to those who can’t cough up. Which brings this story to the four of us here, now, huddled in the back of a freight car on a train hurtling to the one place the Devil will never catch us. One final, desperate shot at immortality.

And if we’re lucky? By the end of the night, one of us will still be left alive to tell the tale.

Last Train to Bremen is a storytelling game of doomed musicians and poor decisions for exactly four players. It uses snappy rules based on Liar’s Dice and other push-your-luck dice games to deliver a tale of secrets, tension, backstabbing, and betrayal.

Build your band, saddle them with baggage, flee your cursed contract, and reflect together on all the choices you made that led you down this sorry path.

In the centre of the multiverse, the city of Troika, there is a goblin-run interdimensional mail system. You are a group of adventurers who have been hired by a patron to retrieve a package from the depths of the mess of the post office - if you can.

Zany hijinx, weird random happenings, sci-fantasy heist.

We will form a coven consisting of 3 witches, each following a unique archetype - the innocent and gentle pure heart, the volatile and revelrous wild spirit, and the uptight scholarly Old Soul. Utilizing a tarot card deck we will draw cards which represent challenges and trials we must work together to face. In the first phase of the game we will draw cards to get to know our coven and its members, in the second phase we will face these trails together.

This game is dice-less and GM-less with 3 players and very light on mechanics you need to learn - focusing on collaborative storytelling and working together to solve problems - all players will take part in building the narrative we are playing. Anyone welcome who would like to see what cards fate decides to deal us!

BattleTech Learn to Play - Grinder by Catalyst LIMITED
Sunday March 16, 2025 10:00 - 11:00 PDT
Join us for a Battletech Grinder event, an event which historically is the most popular Battletech event the Catalyst Demo Team runs at GenCon, Origins and many other conventions around the world.

The Battletech Grinder is a casual all-day event and is great for all ability levels where players only pilot one mech at a time. Due to the nature of the event, players can join in, or drop out at any time without disrupting the event, so if you only want to play for a couple of hours and then move on to something else, it's not an issue.

The general idea of the Grinder is that players start with a simple, randomly-assigned small mech that uses basic weapons and rules in a free-for-all style gladiatorial match of Battlemech mayhem. When their mech is destroyed they get randomly-assigned a bigger, better mech that has slightly more complicated weapons and rules, which help ramp the player's learning of the rules and tactics of Battletech in a manageable way, and then thrown back into the carnage! This way new players are introduced to the vast rules of tabletop Battletech over time. Once a player has advanced to the highest class of mech, should they get destroyed again, they start the cycle all over again with a new randomly-assigned basic mech, continuing on in the never-ending slaughterfest.

All supplies will be provided by the Catalyst Demo Team, including miniatures, maps/terrain, dice, record sheets and pencils.

Game of Thrones: The Card Game - Second Edition, Joust LIMITED
Sunday March 16, 2025 10:00 - 12:00 PDT
Game of Thrones: The Card Game is a two-player asymmetric card game, where you play as your favourite GOT house, drafting characters and revealing plots to win challenges, gain power and defeat your opponent, while trying to keep your characters alive for one more round.

We’ll be playing Joust, the two-player version, and Second Edition.

The game is played over a series of head-to-head rounds, where you’ll draft and recruit characters, reveal plot cards, and then attack and defend a series of challenges until one person is declared the victor. It’s a strategy-heavy game, where your resource economy is pretty low, so every choice you make can win or lose the game.

This session is open to all experience levels. If you’re a GOT master, amazing! If you’ve never played before, even better! The mechanics are pretty simple (it’s choosing what to do with your cards that’s the hard part), and if you’ve ever played an asymmetrical card game like Magic before, you’ll pick it up in no time.

GOT Card Game is also a LCG, so building your deck outside of gameplay is a big part of the fun once you’ve got the hang of it. So feel free to bring your own deck if you have one, or you can use one of our 8 pre-built house decks and give it a go.

Players will take turns captaining a space ship, rolling a shrinking number of dice as they attempt to travel as far along the celestial track as possible. After each roll, any of the players on the ship can choose to get off, but the further you get, the more points you can earn.

MLEM is relatively lightweight and is a ton of fun for everyone involved. If you like gambling, or if you're the kind of person to shout, "Please, anything but a one!" as you roll the dice, this is a game for you.

In the game, each player represents one of the seven "Great Powers of Europe" in the years prior to World War I. Play begins in the Spring of 1901, and players must negotiate and make deals with other players in order to have any success in expanding their borders. They will make both Spring and Autumn moves each year. with two kinds of military units: armies and fleets. On any given turn, each of your military units has limited options: it can move into an adjoining territory, support an allied unit in an attack on an adjoining territory, support an allied unit in defending an adjoining territory, or hold its position. Players instruct each of their units by writing a set of "orders." The outcome of the various orders is basically determined by the total strength of the units involved. There are no dice rolls or other elements of chance. With its incredibly simplistic movement mechanism fused to a significant negotiation element, this system is highly respected by many gamers.

KeyForge is a two-player battling card game from Richard Garfield, the creator of Magic: The Gathering. So how do you build your deck? That's the neat part, you don't! Each deck comes prebuilt and ready to play, making it easy to learn the game, and the cards that each deck contain are procedurally generated in a way so that no two decks are the same!

In this learn-to-play session, I will be teaching everyone how to play with some time afterwards for some practice games. Each participant gets the following:
- 2 FREE KeyForge decks from a variety of sets (both opened/not sealed but still in shrink wrap)
- 2 set of tokens (enough for 2 players)
- 1 instructions manual

Come back for the Sealed KeyForge Tournament at 1:30 pm, which includes a FREE sealed (unopened) KeyForge deck for you to use in the event and keep! And there will be prizes!!

Decks provided by this event are on a limited supply so priority will be given to those who signed up online and then on a first-come-first-serve basis.

BattleTech Learn to Play - Grinder by Catalyst LIMITED
Sunday March 16, 2025 13:00 - 14:00 PDT
Join us for a Battletech Grinder event, an event which historically is the most popular Battletech event the Catalyst Demo Team runs at GenCon, Origins and many other conventions around the world.

The Battletech Grinder is a casual all-day event and is great for all ability levels where players only pilot one mech at a time. Due to the nature of the event, players can join in, or drop out at any time without disrupting the event, so if you only want to play for a couple of hours and then move on to something else, it's not an issue.

The general idea of the Grinder is that players start with a simple, randomly-assigned small mech that uses basic weapons and rules in a free-for-all style gladiatorial match of Battlemech mayhem. When their mech is destroyed they get randomly-assigned a bigger, better mech that has slightly more complicated weapons and rules, which help ramp the player's learning of the rules and tactics of Battletech in a manageable way, and then thrown back into the carnage! This way new players are introduced to the vast rules of tabletop Battletech over time. Once a player has advanced to the highest class of mech, should they get destroyed again, they start the cycle all over again with a new randomly-assigned basic mech, continuing on in the never-ending slaughterfest.

All supplies will be provided by the Catalyst Demo Team, including miniatures, maps/terrain, dice, record sheets and pencils.

In Ark Nova, you will plan and design a modern, scientifically managed zoo. With the ultimate goal of owning the most successful zoological establishment, you will build enclosures, accommodate animals, and support conservation projects all over the world. Specialists and unique buildings will help you in achieving this goal.

Each player has a set of five action cards to manage their gameplay, and the power of an action is determined by the slot the card currently occupies. The cards in question are:

CARDS: Allows you to gain new zoo cards (animals, sponsors, and conservation project cards).
BUILD: Allows you to build standard or special enclosures, kiosks, and pavilions.
ANIMALS: Allows you to accommodate animals in your zoo.
ASSOCIATION: Allows your association workers to carry out different tasks.
SPONSORS: Allows you to play a sponsor card in your zoo or to raise money.

255 cards featuring animals, specialists, special enclosures, and conservation projects, each with a special ability, are at the heart of Ark Nova. Use them to increase the appeal and scientific reputation of your zoo and collect conservation points.

John Company: Second Edition FULL
Sunday March 16, 2025 13:00 - 17:00 PDT
In John Company, players assume the roles of ambitious families attempting to use the British East India Company for personal gain. The game begins in the early eighteenth-century, when the Company has a weak foothold on the subcontinent. Over the course of the game, the Company might grow into the most powerful and insidious corporation in the world or collapse under the weight of its own ambition.

John Company is a game about state-sponsored trade monopoly. Unlike most economic games players often do not control their own firms. Instead, they will collectively guide the Company by securing positions of power, attempting to steer the Company’s fate in ways that benefit their own interests. However, the Company is an unwieldy thing. It is difficult to do anything alone, and players will often need to negotiate with one another. In John Company, most everything is up for negotiation.

It's a worker placement / deckbuilding hybrid with medium complexity. The actions are simple enough: Play a card with an icon matching a location, then go to that location and take the action, gaining rewards in whatever order you choose. When you run out of workers or "agents" reveal the remaining cards in your hand to the table, and calculate the buying power on the cards to purchase new cards from a market.

Fiasco 1e — Camp Death 2: Return to Camp Death FULL
Sunday March 16, 2025 14:00 - 18:00 PDT
NEVER ASSUME THE KILLER IS DEAD...

Last summer’s massacre at Camp Clearwater rocked Barrow Pines, casting a pall over our sleepy town. Only when the inconclusive police investigation and media circus died down and we tried to put our lives back together did we realize our nightmare had just begun. Barrow Pines is full of secrets, and the deeper we dig into the mystery, the more questions we unearth. Those of us who have dared look have come to one inescapable conclusion: whatever killed all those people last year is still out there, and it will kill again. To stop the horror once and for all, we must return to where it all started. We must return to Camp Death.

Originally I was planning on running two Fiasco games until I realized another Fiasco facilitator had the same idea--so after discussion with the other GM, I will be running this standalone game as a possible sequel to their Camp Death game! Will we continue the horror that began at the very start of TCTC, or will we be making up our own imagined grindhouse prequel? Depends on who shows up, I suppose! So grab some popcorn and soda and strap in for ANOTHER THRILLING HORROR FIASCO!

Fiasco 2e — News Channel 6 FULL
Sunday March 16, 2025 14:00 - 18:00 PDT
Fiasco is a game of powerful ambition and poor impulse control. During a game you engineer and play out stupid, disastrous situations. Lives and reputations will be lost, painful wisdom will be gained, and if you are really lucky, you just might end up back where you started. You probably won’t be lucky.

News Channel Six is in last place in a small market, and Action News Eleven is eating our lunch (sometimes literally). This podunk town doesn’t have enough news for one station, let alone two. Between our own in-fighting and bad decisions from management, things are looking grim. Sometimes you need an angle, and to make a little news yourself…

New York, 1930s. Helluva Town is a neighborhood were only cartoons live, an oasis of gummy, full-color 4K anarchy where you can be whoever you'd like and do whatever you want to do. Come, have fun, set everything on fire!

Think of an RPG that mixes Cuphead, the Looney Tunes, and Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network productions with Goodfellas-style gangster movies and smart Who Framed Roger Rabbit?-style comedies, and you've only got ten percent of the madness of Helluva Town.

You play as a Toon, bending logic and physics to your will; each player uses a deck of poker cards (provided or bring your own!), rules can be learned in five minutes, and everything else is just chaos that happens as you try to extinguish your debt with whatever crime syndicate you got stuck in!

Ironsworn: Starforged — Smugglers of the Lumen Drift FULL
Sunday March 16, 2025 14:00 - 18:00 PDT
You and your crew of rogues and scoundrels have been plying your trade in the Lumen Drift, a sector of space plagued by rebellion and insurgency. The local rebellion appears to be well-funded, and you've been making good silver smuggling fugitives and spies for them along the colony worlds right under the noses of the Commonwealth. Now, a patron has enlisted you to deliver a cache of weapons to a remote rebel base, and your ship, the Second Chance, is loaded and ready for the run. All you have to do is evade Commonwealth patrols, deliver the goods, and get out undetected. Simple, right?

Mothership 1e — Year Of The Rat FULL
Sunday March 16, 2025 14:00 - 18:00 PDT
Did somebody say space heist? Did they mention it was scary, too? If you’re looking for a danger-defying burglary where success means riches and failure means death, then welcome to the ‘Year Of The Rat’ module for Mothership, a sci-fi horror RPG. Here’s the setup:

You got the team together; now it’s time to do the job. Your boss is Flysafe, a starship insurance company, and your target is The Year Of The Rat, a casino ship that’s been dead and missing for over a month. Get in, get the Rat's black box, and get out. Easy, right?

Flysafe just wants that black box -- anything else you find on the Rat is yours to keep. But with no idea how she went dark or what happened to her crew, you might find more than just credits aboard that drifting derelict…

Shadowdark — We’re the Baddies! FULL
Sunday March 16, 2025 14:00 - 18:00 PDT
Eons ago, under the leadership of the Bugbear Warlord Korrax Steelshank, the Horde ruled unchallenged. All trembled before the ferocity of the host he drove ceaselessly forwards. When he was cruelly slain by the feeble adventurers of the Realm, the Goblins fell to infighting, and splintered into warring factions.

Now, a vision has come in the night to the shaman of your tribe; the spirit of Korrax is rising! All able bodied Goblins have been called to take up arms, reunite the scattered tribes, and reclaim the glory of The Horde!!

In this Shadowdark Gauntlet, you will play the role of Level 0 Goblin minions, answering the call of their ancient hero. Your journey will lead you through treacherous wilderness; where you will be punished by the elements, ford dangerous rivers, fight off terrifying and deadly monsters, and make your way through a hostile village. Can you answer the call of the Horde, and bathe in the blood of your enemies? Or will you merely be yet another dead minion, nameless amongst the corpses?

The Gauntlet is a deadly adventure, where each player will have their choice of Goblin minion to play. If a PC dies, they can replace them from a pool of pre-generated characters. While death is likely, the odds are not insurmountable, and smart play is rewarded.

BattleTech Learn to Play - Grinder by Catalyst LIMITED
Sunday March 16, 2025 15:00 - 16:00 PDT
Join us for a Battletech Grinder event, an event which historically is the most popular Battletech event the Catalyst Demo Team runs at GenCon, Origins and many other conventions around the world.

The Battletech Grinder is a casual all-day event and is great for all ability levels where players only pilot one mech at a time. Due to the nature of the event, players can join in, or drop out at any time without disrupting the event, so if you only want to play for a couple of hours and then move on to something else, it's not an issue.

The general idea of the Grinder is that players start with a simple, randomly-assigned small mech that uses basic weapons and rules in a free-for-all style gladiatorial match of Battlemech mayhem. When their mech is destroyed they get randomly-assigned a bigger, better mech that has slightly more complicated weapons and rules, which help ramp the player's learning of the rules and tactics of Battletech in a manageable way, and then thrown back into the carnage! This way new players are introduced to the vast rules of tabletop Battletech over time. Once a player has advanced to the highest class of mech, should they get destroyed again, they start the cycle all over again with a new randomly-assigned basic mech, continuing on in the never-ending slaughterfest.

All supplies will be provided by the Catalyst Demo Team, including miniatures, maps/terrain, dice, record sheets and pencils.

Lorenzo Il Magnifico FULL
Sunday March 16, 2025 15:00 - 17:30 PDT
In Lorenzo il Magnifico, each player takes the role of the head of a noble family in a city during the Italian Renaissance to gain more prestige and fame — that is, victory points (VP) — than anyone else. To do so, you send your family members to different areas of town, where they can obtain many achievements. In one location, they get useful resources; in another, development cards that represent newly conquered territories, sponsored buildings, influenced characters, or encouraged ventures; and somewhere else they activate the effects of their cards.
Family members are not identical. At the beginning of each round, you roll three dice to determine their value. You must choose carefully where to send your most valuable family members. Learners are welcome.
