Game Experiences & Seasonal Camps

Discover (or continue to enjoy) basic mechanics of tabletop RPGs with this custom sci-fi fantasy adventure on the mysterious planet of Zerethea. The GM is a local artist and educator (MA, Media Studies, BA English Literature/Communication) who integrates rich opportunities for creativity and skill-building.

Camps familiarize players with core RPG mechanics (character builds, spell-casting, turn-based combat, exploration, etc), and develop skills in storytelling, strategy, cooperation, puzzle-solving, dexterity, basic arithmetic/measurement, improvisation, and more.

Please inquire about gaming experiences for adults.

No experience necessary, all genders welcome! Knowledge of RPGs is welcome but not expected. Contact Zerethea2@gmail.com for more info about upcoming camps and other sessions.
