Game Description
The people of Pumpkintown watch in horror as the moon contorts and warps into a cube, smiting the mountainside as it crashes to the earth. Only the Eldest remember the last time this happened, the arrival of the CITADEL UNCONQUERABLE, fastness of the wizard Zavgast, master of all reality. He has returned to sup upon the souls of mortals. And no weapon may slay him. No weapon may breach the Citadel’s walls. Save one.

Swords Without Master is a game of adventure, violence, and wonder. Become rogues in a world of swords and sorcery, living by your wits and prowess, plunging into the unknown, and seizing from it untold treasures.

The game is light on rules and heavy on story. The dice don’t determine outcomes; rather, they determine the mood of the scene. As you play, you create the tale’s morals, mysteries, and motifs, all of which come into play as the story unfolds.

Game System—Magic: the Gathering, Cube Draft

Number of Players—1-7

Duration—2 game slots (4-6 hours)

Tags—Focused on gameplay, Competitive, Tournament, Card game, Previous experience needed

Game Description
Draft and play with some of the most powerful cards from the history of Magic: The Gathering!

A classic booster draft involves selecting cards from randomized booster packs and building up a deck from the drafted cards. The players in the draft then pit their freshly constructed decks against each other.

The difference is that in a Cube (a prepared collection of cards), instead of buying booster packs, the cards are hand-selected by the owner of the Cube, meaning…

1. You don’t have to pay to play.
2. The cards can be from any era of Magic, including some of the most powerful cards ever printed.

Cube Drafting is one of the most popular ways to play Magic, and if you haven’t experienced it before, now’s your chance to take part in an exciting challenge that combines deck-building and gameplay in a unique package. Prizes will be awarded to the winner and the runner up!

Experience playing Magic is needed.

Tags—Collaborative storytelling, Focused on story, Atmospheric, Horror, Improv heavy, Tactical

Game Description
The Hour Between Dog and Wolf is a two to three player roleplaying game which pits a flawed hero against a vile killer. One player takes on the role of the Hero who struggles to balance their obsessive desire for justice with their conscience and emotional stability. Their opponent takes on the role of the Killer who tries to outsmart and manipulate the Hero while battling their own dark desires.

The Hour Between Dog and Wolf lets you explore an existential struggle that is both personal and metaphorical. Players experience the world through the eyes of two troubled characters as their inner demons guide them on their dark journey. The Hour Between Dog and Wolf is more than a story about a hero and a villain, it is a story of exploring one’s darkest self and how that struggle affects the world around us.

The Hour Between Dog and Wolf encourages players to confront thoughts and storylines that make them a little uncomfortable, but never at the expense of each other’s fun. Dabble in your darker thoughts, or fully embrace the horrors that lurk within your soul. The Hour Between Dog and Wolf can be dark and disturbing or any shade of grey that fits your comfort level. Setting can be modern day, historical, fantasy or science fiction. Pre-generated characters can be provided, or players can cooperatively create their own along with the setting (which can take 30 minutes to an hour). The mechanics are simple and the game is story-driven by the players, no GM.
