Role-playing Games!

For the first time ever, Geek Week is running four concurrent role-playing games, FREE! Each game is of a different genre, and each is lead by a veteran ImprovBoston performer and experienced Dungeon Master. Perfect for both the experienced gamer and curious newbie, all games will run Sunday, May 2nd from 12-5pm. Pizza and drinks will be provided. Each session can accommodate 8 players total and and will be filled on a first-come first-served basis. However, we will make every effort to accommodate your first choice.

If you would like to participate in this FREE even (with the purchase of any Geek Week ticket), you must register. When ordering your ticket online, simply please select the session you would most like to attend. You will be contacted via email to confirm your RPG session.

Dungeons & Dragons

David Fisher, Dungeon Master
For 30 years Dungeons & Dragons has defined the medieval fantasy- game genre, where players become elves, dwarves, wizards, and warriors to band together and explore dangerous dungeons, slay monsters, and find exotic treasure. In this adventure, you are part of an elite band of mercenaries hired by the local Lord to eliminate a band of ravaging kobolds that overwhelmed a caravan returning home. You must find their lair before the draconic fiends sacrifice their kidnapped victims to their ravenous dragon god.

Chill

Erik Volkert, Game Master
In this under-rated and highly customizable game system, you will experience malevolent beings with black intentions, blood and guts of the evil and proud, and deep psychological horror of this dark and gritty underworld. An evil has arisen -- in the midst of your families and friends, you will stand alone. Amongst your guardians, you will be unprotected. You alone are the ones who see the evil for what it is, and you are poorly equipped to prevent it.

7th Sea

Bobby Smithney, Game Master
Meant for people who relish playing the dashing hero, this simple, yet tremendously fun adventure game is set in a pseudo-medieval Europe. From aristocracy to peasant farmer, it is an exciting and climactic whirlwind of rapiers, pistols, and secret societies. In this session you and a renowned band of adventurers are called to provide protection to a small team of archeologists who have discovered an artifact of unknown power and worth. You must defend them from an vast number of devious mercenaries, villains, and thieves, who are determined to steal the prize.

Feng Shui

John Serpico, Game Master
A fast-action roleplaying game that throws a motley crew of maverick cops, cranky kung fu masters, and everyman heroes into the "martial arts and machine guns" world akin to Hong Kong Action Cinema. When a violent and powerful foreign gang invades the streets of Boston, police are powerless to stop the carnage. It is up to the residents of one tormented neighborhood to seek vengeance against the triad menace.
