Behind the Screen GM Workshop
10-11 AM Behind the Screen: Demystifying Game Mastering Do you want to try GMing, but get overwhelmed by the idea? Your TTRPGs can be scary, but GMing doesn't have to be! Join GM Ike for a workshop on how to jump into running the game without the anxiety. Learn tips and tricks for getting started as a GM. Perfect for beginner GMs, or folks who've run D&D, but are daunted by learning another system.
$Daggerheart Quickstart Game
(4-6 players, Age 13+ event) GM: Ike 11 AM - 12 PM Dip your toes in with the most popular new fantasy TTRPG, from Darrington Press and the folks at Critical Role! Daggerheart is a system where GMs and players share in narrative worldbuilding, and every choice matters as the adventure hangs in the balance between hope and fear!
$Monster of the Week One-Shot
(3-5 players, Age 13+ event) 12-3 PM, GM: Axel Most people don’t believe in monsters, but you know the truth. They’re real, and it’s your task to bring them down. Monster of the Week is an action-horror TTRPG. Grab the fireplace poker and get your spell book. That monster’s going down!
$Three Goblins One-Shot
(3-4 players, Age 13+ event) GM and Designer: John "Jack" Richards 3-6 PM Come playtest a fun, new RPG with us, written by a Baltimore-local and run by the creator himself. Fun fact: Jack ran this for us at Free RPG Day last year and is in talks toward getting it published! Three Goblins In a Trench Coat is a Quickplay Comedy Heist RPG, in which the party plays a band of three goblins impersonating a respectable member of society in order to achieve some mischievous purpose.
