| 1-2 | Arcane Dominion | 1 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. | ||||

| 1-2 | The Treasure Under the Mountain (D&D 5e) | 1 spaces | R6 | DM Lytha |
| This is a homebrew I created, it is a one shot for 11 level players in which the players will need to search the caverns for cursed statuettes in order solve the puzzle and free the "treasure". The treasure is a Vampire spellcaster, Liliana, and using official canon D&D lore, she has inserted into the history of Strahd himself. This lets the players be able to dig into a story they may already know, but adds a new twist! | ||||
| 2-3 | 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! | ||||
| 2 | Frozen Pothole: A Winnipeg Fiasco | Full | R3 | Ryan |
| Local Designer"Muddy waters," that's what the Cree word Winnipeg apparently means, and it's as good a name as any for this isolated run-down Canadian metropolis on the edge of the flyover flats and the great abyss of wilderness that stretches between here and the Arctic. Mind you, any water you find, is more likely going to be of the frozen variety as a January polar vortex descends once more on the city plunging temperatures lower than the surface of Mars. But none of that's on your mind right now. Traffic is a nightmare in this weather: the city plows are behind schedule again, Portage Avenue is backed up to all hell, and you're pretty sure someone is breaking into back of your car just to stay warm. You swore you'd leave town for good decades ago, yet here are you again, repeating the same mantra as the Winnipeg Jets, "there's always next season." No matter how bad things get, you just can't shake this place, and maybe deep down, you never really wanted to. Frozen Pothole is a Winnipeg-themed play-set designed for the Fiasco RPG, an award-winning, GM-less game for 3-5 players, designed to be played in a few hours with six-sided dice and no preparation with a heavy focus on improvised storytelling over questing and battle mechanics. During a game you will engineer characters with grand ambition and poor impulse control, and play out stupid, disastrous situations, usually at the intersection of greed, fear, and lust. It's like making your own Coen brothers movie, in about the same amount of time it'd take to watch one. Check out the Publishers website! | ||||

| 2 | Monster from the Hidden Sea! | 5 spaces | G13 | GMB Chomichuk |
| Midnight City: A Danger in the Details is a story game designed and created by award-winning writer/Illustrator and Winnipeger GMB Chomichuk. You will play a pulp-era Weird, a hero in a battle against the encroaching horde of vampires, cultists, martians and mad-science on the edge of a World War. Take up the call of adventure through the rain sodden alleys and shining zeppelin moored spires of Midnight City. Unravel the mystery, but be wary, the danger is in the Details. GMB Chomichuk will be your Narrator as you pick a hero and try to save the day from the thrilling evil that threatens all. Play once or drop in all weekend for the continuing story. Play multiple characters or stick with your favorite. We need you Weird. | ||||

| 2-3 | Gen7: A Crossroads Game + Breaking Point | Full | G16 | Eric |
| In Gen7, players play the command team of a generation colony ship bound for a star system far from Earth. As they take command of the ship, a terrible mystery emerges that will threaten the entire mission. The commanders of Gen7 are about to discover that everything is not as it seems, and the fate of the human species will hang on the choices they make. In the tradition of the award-winning Dead of Winter, Gen7: A Crossroads Game is a grand narrative game with multiple possibilities. The choices players make as they play will alter the direction of the story. Gen7 will constantly challenge its players with a variety of unique situations that force them to make difficult moral decisions. Will you compromise your integrity to ensure the safety of your crew? Will you value their lives over the safety of the mission? The Breaking Point, an expansion for Gen7: A Crossroads Game, includes more story content, a competitive play mode and more barracks, allowing for games with up to six players.
