Table Top Roleplaying

Pathfinder with Darren Tenor - A world of adventure awaits, but it needs you to be the hero of the story! Pathfinder is a fantasy tabletop roleplaying game where you tell heroic tales in a world of quests, magic, monsters, and treasures. Your choices, and the roll of the dice, determine how the story unfolds.

Shadowdark with Calvin Jim  - Shadowdark is what an old-school fantasy adventure game would look like after being redesigned with 50 years of innovation. It’s fast, familiar, intuitive, and deadly. Built for sword-and-sorcery adventures, fell monsters slither in darkness and ancient gems glint upon forgotten thrones, waiting to be discovered.

This is totally NOT an illegal casino run by goblins.


But if it was, you could use a sinister laugh (or a sinister look) to get in. Once in, you will receive free tickets to play the free games - at which, if you win, you will receive more tickets. These collected tickets can be spent at the Goblin Market which contains items definitely not stolen from your or other’s houses.


If you wish to donate cool and cursed stuff for the Goblin Market, drop it off at the AWCS no later than Tuesday August 11th - or bring it to the Games Room at When Words Collide. 


Donations should be something you loved at one time, but now love less and don’t want to dust OR something weird someone gave you for a birthday or Christmas (Do they even know you? Seriously!)


Test your luck at goblin classics like:

1. Marble Race
2. Duck Pond
3. Wheel of tickets
4. Horse Race
5. Goblin Hold ‘Em - Calvin Jim
6. Goblin Black Jack
7. Goblin Roulette
8. Claw Machine - the only paid game. Pay for a game with a ticket or donate to the AWCS Youth Program (tap or cash accepted), and get infinite plays until you win!
9. Dice Game
10. Frog Game

Dungeons & Dragons with Rhonda Parish
D&D is the world’s most popular fantasy tabletop roleplaying game. It is a cooperative, storytelling game where you and other players take on the roles of the  characters within a story, making friends and enemies, fighting monsters, discovering loot, and completing quests.

Villains and Vigilantes with Darren Tenor
V&V is a tabletop roleplaying game where you play a superhero. While trying to live your life and keep your secret identity, your character, and others at the gaming table, will be thrown into comic book style super-hero adventures.
