2-3 Aperion (aka Fantasy Infinity)5 spacesG35Jeff 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!
2Frozen Pothole: A Winnipeg FiascoFullR3Ryan
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!

9-10 Magic, Myth, and Mystery2 spacesL3Ryan
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.

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.

Play to Win! Enter the futuristic universe of Red Rising, based on the book series by Pierce Brown featuring a dystopian society divided into fourteen castes. You represent a house attempting to rise to power as you piece together an assortment of followers (represented by your hand of cards). Will you break the chains of the Society or embrace the dominance of the Golds? Red Rising is a hand-management, combo-building game for 1-6 players (45-60 minute playing time). You start with a hand of 5 cards, and on your turn you will deploy 1 of those cards to a location on the board, activating that card?s deploy benefit. You will then gain the top card from another location (face up) or the deck (face down), gaining that location's benefit and adding the card to your hand as you enhance your end-game point total. If at any point you?re really happy with your hand, you can instead use your turn to reveal a card from the top of the deck and place it on a location to gain that location?s benefit. This is a Play-to-Win event; whoever wins the game, goes home with the game!
