Convention Events

All Ages Welcome

On a perfect day in Pawsburg, a supervillain plunges the city into an unnatural blizzard, and a team of animal superheroes must save lives, stop the freeze, and defeat Iceberg before winter becomes permanent.

I'd like to host a table of Risk G.I. Joe Special Missions-I'll be happy to teach and moderate, would love to play. I have to say, this only looks like Risk (and it looks a *lot* like Risk), but this isn't Risk.

In RISK G.I. JOE: Special Missions, 2-4 players each join one of two factions — G.I. Joe or Cobra — and seek to complete missions or resolve plots in an effort to score the most objective points (OP) after three rounds of play.

One of five master scenarios guides the action, leading to conflicts erupting in hotspots around the world. The game includes multiple unit types — GIs, Skystrikers, Wolverines, Cobra Troopers, Rattlers, and H.I.S.S. — with variable movement, initiative, and battle bonuses, and units defeated in battle are only temporarily lost, cycling back into play over time. Action cards create new avenues for moving and gaining units not present in the traditional game, and scenario and objective cards will influence player strategy.

Lobster Archipelago is a game I am currently developing. Players compete to explore a board full of islands and lobster traps, while building a deck of cards to propel their boat and help them place the most buoys. This would be a playtest, and I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for at this event. I'd be happy to discuss the game and the type of experience you're trying to cultivate. I actually have another game I could bring as well, so if you're open to a play-testing area I have options. I've been to Pax Unplugged so I'm somewhat familar with the vibe at these events and I'd love to contribute. Thank you!

Doomsayers is a 3D area control game where you play as a rising deity in a world that refuses to believe, even as fire rains from the sky. Each round, waves of fireballs and asteroids fall through a four-tiered board, threatening the cities below. Command prophets on the ground to warn cities of their impending doom and fly seraphs in the air to redirect the storm. Will you promise salvation or punish those who reject your warnings? If the world endures when the dust settles, only the dominant can rule what remains.

Coming to Kickstarter in 2027 -- this is your chance to play it before it's released!

Star Trek TOS :: Following the events of Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country
Captain Hikaru Sulu and his crew aboard the USS Excelsior have been dispatched to assist with an unfolding epidemic of unknown origins affecting a remote mining colony on the edge of the Klingon Empire. This being a time of newly established peace between the Federation and Klingon Empire, the ship and crew have been instructed to go to great lengths to honor and preserve the new accord. Though at peace, tension lingers between the groups. A misstep here could serve to undermine recent progress, while a successful medical response could serve as a shining example of cooperation yet to come.

I will have pre-generated characters available for registered or drop-in players. Players who register before the end of September may be given the chance to work with me to create a unique character before the convention.

Join Kass for a selection of small-press RPG offerings! There will be two or three games on offer, to be decided at game time. No experience necessary, and all materials provided!

Something is killing people in the city's long-abandoned subway tunnels—leaving behind strange symbols, mutilated bodies, and whispers of an urban legend brought to life. When a cursed object tied to the deaths resurfaces, you're called in to track it down before the streets drown in blood.

I would love another opportunity to share this game. Depending on who shows up, I might play or teach and moderate.

Build your very own thriving jungle by discovering various wild animals, insects, and plants in this beautiful board game.

Life of the Amazonia is a strategic meeple placing game that combines bag building and pattern building. Players will restore land, place various animals, and plant trees and flowers to enrich their jungles and create the most ecologically rich jungle. Various lives must be placed in the jungle taking into account each unique characteristic of the plants and animals in order to create synergies within one another. To carry out these actions, bag building that fits in with the player’s strategy is crucial.

I'll bring Dealer's Choice, Millionaire, 70s Monopoly, 70s Pay Day and 70s Life.
That accounts for a few player counts and complexity levels and we can see what people would be interested in from there.

Blood On The Clocktower is a hidden role social deduction murder mystery, where every player has an ability. If you're familiar at all with Mafia, Among Us or the One Night Ultimate games, you already know the basic idea. Each game takes place over several "days", and if you get killed in the game, you're not out of the game, the dead still play and collectively become more powerful at the end!

There are two teams, the Good team, and the Evil team lead by the Demon. Goal of the Good team is kill the Demon, goal of the Evil team is to have the Demon and one other player alive. Each game-day consists of two phases, Night and Day. Night is when game-provided information is given and most roles do their actions including the Evil team "killing" a player, or try to... Day is the Social Deduction part, talking to your fellow players to share information or lies about who you are in the game and what information or actions you may or may not have, then nominate and vote on who to execute.

And the game has a mechanism for people joining in the middle and if you think you might need to leave before the game ends, so late arrivals and early leavers are welcome!

How long each game lasts depends on how many players there are.

Note to event organizers: This game does not use a regular table. It'll only need two small tables and 16 chairs. We play in a "circle" (or oval, or square, whatever the space allows) with open space in the middle.
