INDIE RPG ROUND TABLE (4:00pm-5:00pm) - Join local game designers and game masters for a discussion of the current landscape of independent and small-publisher tabletop RPGs. We’ll discuss where to find Indie RPGs, how to find groups to play lesser-known games with, and how YOU can get involved in the Indie RPG industry. (No Pre-Registration Required.)

GAME SESSIONS

We’re running two games on Free RPG Day (see below). Pre-registration is required for each game. To claim your seat(s), contact the store at 773/752-6642 or firstaidchicago@gmail.com.

Hollows: The Sins of Grisham Priory

(1:00pm-4:00pm.)

In this dark fantasy setting “with a crack of hope,” you play hunters of other people’s personal demons. With an emphasis on “Soulsborne”-like big boss battles, Hollows promises a “tactical powerhouse of a TTRPG that’s both easy to learn and satisfying to master.” This session will use “The Sins of Grisham Priory” quickstart adventure. Hosted by Jonah W. Intended for individuals 14+. (Pre-Registration Required)

Dragonbane: The Sinking Tower

(5:00pm-8:00pm)

Dragonbane is a translation of Drakar och Demoner, Scandinavia’s first and biggest tabletop RPG, originally launched in 1982. Featuring “myth and mayhem” roleplaying, Dragonbane combines classic fantasy adventure stories with a “modern shell.” This quickstart adventure, The Sinking Tower, emphasizes puzzles and was originally written as a tournament adventure! Hosted by Mel G. Intended for individuals 14+. (Pre-Registration Required)
