Saturday May 6th
D&D Adventurer’s League: EPIC – DDEP06-01 Relics of Khundrukar
Time Slot: 10am-2pm
Khundrukar held many fine implements of war in its heyday, many of them now lost to time. Clues point to some of the long dead Master Smith Durgeddin’s handy work in the service of sinister forces that bid their time deep in the Underdark. Reclaim the riches of Khundrukar from the darkness if you dare. Levels 1-4
No Thank You, Evil! Role-Playing Game
Time Slot: 11am-3pm
No Thank You Evil is a roleplaying game intended for kids as young as 5 and as old as 95. Younger kids frustrate easily when a game is too complex for them to master. Older children quickly grow bored by games that are too simple or that strike them as below their level.
The scalable rules adapt easily to the abilities of the player. A six-year-old might play, for example, a Princess. A eight-year-old might play a Super Smart Princess. A ten-year-old creates a Super Smart Princess who Experiments with Science. Each of these stages adds a level of sophistication to how the game is played—but all of these characters can play around the same table in the same game! After a game or two with the grown-ups, a twelve-year-old might even run games for the other kids!
X-Wing Miniatures Game
Time Slot: 11am-1pm
Control the most advanced Starfighters and outstanding pilots in the galaxy! In X-Wing Miniatures Game, you take the role of squad leader and command a group of merciless Imperial or daring Rebel pilots in furious ship-to-ship space combat. Models provided, no experience needed to play!
Magic the Gathering Tournament: Legacy Two-Headed Giant Theme Deck Challenge
Time Slot: 3pm-8pm
Find a friend, build a deck sharing a creature type and crush your opponents in an epic Magic the Gathering card game tournament. It’s the ultimate battle of team creature theme decks and no additional entry fee is required! Decks may only contain creatures that share at least 1 creature type: goblins, elves, dwarves, etc. Decks use the Two-Headed Giant and Legacy magic tournament rules. See wizards.com for more details. Prizes include: Revised Boosters, Dual lands, Ice Age Boosters, Modern Masters, and more!
Dread Expectations: A Cypher System Role-Playing Game
Time Slot: 6pm-10pm
“You are a super hero, part of the New York Sentinels, always battling evil and Doctor Dread. Today, she plans to send her ‘Dread corps’ to the New York Museum of Art to steal a 3,000 year old mummy that is said to still have magical influence.”
No experience necessary. The Cypher System is a roleplaying game engine you can use to power campaigns set in virtually any genre. Created for the hit RPG Numenera and later used in The Strange, the Cypher System focuses on narrative, unleashing the creativity of the GM and players. Some people call it a “rules-light” system, but it has all the power and sophistication of games that are much more mechanically heavy—and substantially more flexibility.
Sunday, May 7th
D&D Adventurer’s League: DDAL05-16 Parnast Under Siege
Time Slot: 10am-2pm
Despite the adventurers’ best efforts, more creatures joined under Bad Fruul’s banner. No longer content to simply attack caravans or isolated homesteads, the hill giant warlord descends upon Parnast at the head of a great force of humanoids. SEER warns the adventurers (directly now) in time to rally the town and prepare defenses, but a heroic effort is required to break the siege. Levels 1-4
