Garrison High
max 6 players - pre-registration required
Friday 3pm-6pm
with Darren Tenor

​The teens heroes who make up the superhuman training program known as Garrison High have just got suited up in costume for the first time. And that means they’ll get their first challenge – The Playground. And as if that wasn’t enough, it turns out that one of their own has apparently switched sides. Or did they get abducted? Can our heroes save a troubled teen from joining a local gang with a few superhumans of their own? Time to find out!

MIDNIGHT D&D


Turn of Fortune's Wheel
max 6 players - pre-registration required
​Friday and Saturday - 9pm - Midnight
with Rhonda Parrish

​Six hours of gameplay won't be close to enough to complete this campaign, but that's sort of the point of it. By running a campaign that will be impossible to complete in the time allotted, it will remove the usual time pressure that comes with playing in a one-shot, and give you a reason to come back and keep playing next year ;) This campaign takes place in the Planescape setting. In these first two game sessions you will be introduced to the Planescape world and the city of Sigil at its heart. You will begin at level one but I expect your characters will be level three by the end of the weekend.
