| 8-10 | Arcane Dominion | 3 spaces | G25/G26 | Chris Penner |
| Local Designer Arcane Dominion is a high fantasy RPG system that was designed to incorporate 3 distinct features: 1. Specialized equipment with highly detailed mechanics to support a range of weapons from traditional swords to firearms and clockwork robots. 2. A magic system encompassing 18 different schools and hundreds of spells. 3. Encouraging players to cross class, and rewarding them for doing so by having unique new classes for each combination. The goal is to create as unique and customizable of characters and abilities as possible. | ||||
| 9-10 | Aperion (aka Fantasy Infinity) | 5 spaces | G35 | Jeff Heikkinen |
| Local Designer My love-letter to a certain very famous JRPG series; a fast-paced tabletop RPG that borrows some Eurogame ideas. Runs so fast, we should be able to finish a short adventure and even level up your characters, maybe more than once, in a single four-hour session. Be the first people I don't already game with regularly to try it out! | ||||
| 9-10 | Magic, Myth, and Mystery | 2 spaces | L3 | Ryan |
| Local Designer For centuries, humanity fought a secret shadow war against the creatures of darkness and myth, until one day the unthinkable happened. Peace. In exchange for being allowed to freely and openly join human society, the nearly extinct "supernaturals" agreed to follow human laws so long as humanity stopped its incessant messing around with dangerous magics. While certain parties on both sides still have their differences, the great Peace of Raven?against all odds?has largely held. That is, until the Organization of Magic, Myth, and Mystery (OMMM) somehow hired you to help preserve it. You and your "uniquely talented" colleagues work for OMMM, an international NGO dedicated to keeping things nice and friendly between human and supernatural alike. As interns, your duties include stopping rampaging mythological beasts, solving arcane mystical puzzles, confronting illegal sorcery, navigating office politics, and of course managing social media. Magic, Myth, and Mystery is a brand-new locally designed RPG that uses cards rather than dice in order to give players more influence over the trajectory of the story through a simple rules system. Set in a globe-trotting modern fantasy world not unlike our own, players will be able to choose one of six pre-generated characters, some human and some less so, based on legends from around the world as they try to save the world, not kill each other, and also avoid getting fired. | ||||
| 9-10 | Battle of the Bands (D&D 5e) | 2 spaces | R6 | DM Lytha |

| The Count has returned! You think you have left me without a place to rest, but I have more. My revenge is just begun! I spread it over centuries, and time is on my side. - Bram Stoker, Dracula It is 1898. Eight years ago, the most evil Count Dracula traveled to London to spread his vampiric curse. In this he was stopped by a small band of God-fearing people who managed to thwart his plans and destroy him within the very shadow of Castle Dracula. Or so they thought... In Fury of Dracula, one player assumers the role of the Count secretly moving across Europe, siring vampires, and laying traps for his pursuers. Dracula's opponents are the Hunters who must discover the fiend's location and destroy him before his Un-Dead thralls claim dominion over the night. | ||||

But beware; if dinosaurs are neglected or improperly penned, they will attempt to escape and spread havoc through the entire park. Use all the tools at your disposal; DNA splice mutant dinosaurs, exploit the Black Market or just try to run an honest park, the choices are yours.

| 10-11 | Keystone: the Dungeons Beneath Tour Toriel | 6 spaces | R3 | Miriam |
| On the high plateaus of the roof of the world stands the spire of Tour Toriel, a tower of rock and ancient ruins that predates all of recorded history. Within the fortress that clings to its unassailable slopes reigns the Dread Tyrant, whose power is so great that every kingdom and city in the land has bent to his dominion. One year ago, a terrible purple vortex opened in the sky above the spire. Harvests began to spoil in the fields; unspeakable new monsters spilled out of the wilderness. The wise women, the priesthoods, and the scholars cannot explain what is happening, but all signs are clear as to the source: something in Tour Toriel has gone awry, and will destroy the world if it is not stopped. You are a band of heroes dedicated to finding out what has gone wrong in the spire and stopping it. It is almost certainly a suicide run, but doing nothing is only a slower death. You have discovered a secret entrance to the caves under the mountains upon which the spire rests. Your plan is to delve this dungeon and work your way upwards into the castle. There, by hook or by crook, you will discover the source of this calamity and--hopefully--the means to end it. --- Keystone is a fantasy roleplaying game primed for Cortex that is also a step-by-step tutorial for learning how to play Cortex. The first adventure is free to download and play, and has all the rules you'll need included in the document. Two more adventures are available, and two more are in development. | ||||

You will explore the struggles of a community trying to rebuild, making difficult choices and recording your decisions on a constantly evolving map. Your choices will be made upon options given to you by drawing cards from a 52-card deck, each suit representing a season in a year. Can you rebuild a functional society before the arrival of the Frost Shepherds? Drama and hilarity to be expected. | ||||
| 10 | The Trans-Continental | Full | G05 | Eric |
| The Transcontinental is a medium-weight Eurogame with worker-placement and pick-up and deliver mechanisms about the development of the Canadian transcontinental railway. Players are contractors who work to complete the railway. They send out telegrams along a linear worker-placement track ? reserving those action spaces for themselves ? then take turns in telegram order, loading and unloading to a shared train that travels across the country. Players can use these resources to complete developments ranging from lumber mills and farms to cities and national parks, or they can use the resources to bid to extend the railway. Powerful one-time-use ally cards, themed around a rich and inclusive cast of Canadian historical figures, allow players to make powerful combined actions. Check out BGG | ||||

They must battle against limited resources and the twin dangers of getting sick and mental breakdown as they try and treat everyone. All hope rests on their capable shoulders." Check out BGG | ||||
