Table 1
- 10am - 12pm
- Swords of the Serpentine One-Shot
- Swords of the Serpentine - the GUMSHOE swords and sorcery RPG from Pelgrane Press - is a game of daring heroism, sly politics, and bloody savagery, set in a fantasy city full of skulduggery and death, inspired by the Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser and Thieves’ World stories. In Losing Face, a Swords of the Serpentine adventure by author Kevin Kulp, the Heroes’ friend Galdo brings them a shocking discovery - an unconscious woman with blank skin where her face should be. Who is she, and why is she significant? And more importantly, why did someone, or something, do this to her - and what is it they’re planning?

When a derelict ship infested with dangerous, hostile aliens comes crashing into an amusement park in the heart of the Pact Worlds, it’s up to the heroes to protect their planet from the worst the Swarm has to offer!

- DMing for Parents Workshop
- Want to run D&D games for your kids but don't know where to start? Kirk will get you rolling on setting up games for your kids and how to be a Dungeon Master. We'll also suggest alternative RPG systems which are less math-y for children who are too young to start playing D&D.

- Dungeon Crawl Classics One-Shot
- Piercing the Demon's Eye The clock is ticking! The Demon’s Eye is a vault which appears only once every ten years – and you are at the right place at the right time! If your wits, spells, and sword arm are strong enough to survive its deadly traps, there is more wealth here than you can carry. But beware! Centuries ago, the Old Serpent was imprisoned beyond Outside, and now waits for foolish mortals to provide the key to his release. Others have fallen before you. Will you join them? Or will your party succeed in Piercing the Demon’s Eye?
