Dim Walkers of Fell w/Creator
Limited Capacity seats available

A recent defeat at an ancient ruin known as the Domes has left the previous adventuring party dead. Replacing them are dangerous dopplegangers known as Dim Walkers. To complicate matters, the Dim Walkers have claimed all of the possessions of the dead, including an enchanted key to a legendary realm known only as the Twilight Kingdom. Our heroes must travel to the Domes and stop the Dim Walkers before this key to a forgotten evil is used.

Wheelhouse is a post-apocalyptic fantasy role-playing game set thousands of years after a cataclysmic event shattered the world of Mythren. A broken moon grins in the sky and the shadow of an ominous tower now looms over the last vestiges of civilization known as the Twelve Towns. Players awaken a character imbued with the consciousness of a long-dead hero. As a group, the characters are sent beyond the peaceful Twelve Towns and into the devastated "out-world" to serve a singular purpose given to them by the Wheelhouse. A gigantic and mysterious structure, the Wheelhouse is a lynch-pin tower that stands as the last link to the ancient world that was. This purpose drives the characters to act, but deep within is a greater need to discover who they were, who they are, and who they may yet be.

Limited Capacity full
Adding this to your schedule will put you on the waitlist.

You’re no zero. You’re a wasteland wanderer: a mutant, a seeker, a robot-killer, a stoic shaman guarding forgotten ancient sciences. You seek triumph and technology, winning it with mutations and magic, soaked in the radiation and quantum fields of the mutated, the savage, the semi-sentient, and the artificially intelligent. There are treasures to be won in the taboo lands and ruins, and you shall have them.

When stories of a rogue “smart metal” being the size of a mountain come to your village, no one takes them seriously, at least until the treaded 10-story-tall monstrosity begins cutting a swath through your hothouse jungle homeland. Invulnerable to even the mightiest mutations, your only hope to stop its menacing march is to find entry into its interior and access to its power sources and inhabitants.

Automobiles Tournament w/Creator
Limited Capacity seats available

Drivers, start your engines! Will you cross the finish line first? Now is your chance to find out!

Automobiles is a deck‑building game in which the fun is cubed — because instead of using cards to build a deck, you build with your collection of cubes. These cubes not only allow you to race your car around the track, but they also allow you to improve your handling, optimize your pit crew, and boost your speed, all of which are your keys to victory!

The goal of the game is to cross the finish line first! You accomplish this by customizing your race car and surrounding yourself with the best crew. Your race car and crew are represented by a collection of cubes garnered from various options available to you. Starting with the same small set of cubes, each player builds their collection as they play the game. Use these cubes to enhance your performance, train your pit crew, and ensure your race car runs as effectively as possible. Be the first to cross the finish line and watch that checkered flag wave!

Designed by David Short, Automobiles is the third title in AEG's Destination Fun series!

***NOTE: In this tournament there will be 4 games running simultaneously with a max of 4 players each. Then the winners of each of those games will play in a final game using the expansion to determine the ultimate racing champion! Prizes are available, including a promo card for each participant.

The Blood Merchants w/Creator
Limited Capacity seats available

For centuries the Blood Merchants have made a name for themselves hunting the most dangerous and powerful enchanted creatures of the land and selling their blood to the highest bidders. A grim and gruesome trade, they have made many enemies throughout the years. In a desperate bid to appease a powerful creature of the forgotten world, our heroes must enlist the aid of the Blood Merchants or risk seeing the wrath of a sleeping titan awakened.

Wheelhouse is a post-apocalyptic fantasy role-playing game set thousands of years after a cataclysmic event shattered the world of Mythren. A broken moon grins in the sky and the shadow of an ominous tower now looms over the last vestiges of civilization known as the Twelve Towns. Players awaken a character imbued with the consciousness of a long-dead hero. As a group, the characters are sent beyond the peaceful Twelve Towns and into the devastated "out-world" to serve a singular purpose given to them by the Wheelhouse. A gigantic and mysterious structure, the Wheelhouse is a lynch-pin tower that stands as the last link to the ancient world that was. This purpose drives the characters to act, but deep within is a greater need to discover who they were, who they are, and who they may yet be.

Adding this to your schedule will put you on the waitlist.

Derbalan Shuffle is a goofy, rules-light RPG that uses cards instead of dice. Prepare to face terrifying foes such as the Huggy Cactus and the Chinchilla con Queso. Will you become the Elementalist and overpower all obstacles with the power of rock, paper, and scissors? Will you take on the role of Universal Theocrat and protect your allies with love while bringing forth divine wrath against the intolerant? Will you ignore the main plotline and spend the whole session stealing stuff as a Cat Burglar? All these possibilities and more await you in Derbalan Shuffle.
