A group of kids have been left with a teenage babysitter for an afternoon. There will be toys, craft time, snacks, & maybe some existential angst.
Description:
Why do children have imaginary friends? Sometimes imaginary friends are there to help kids work through issues they can’t handle alone. Sometimes a lonely child is looking for company. Sometimes it’s because their real friends have imaginary friends. And sometimes, maybe, they’re just for fun. In Play Date, a group of kids have been left with a teenage babysitter for an afternoon. There will be toys, craft time, pizza, and maybe some existential angst. Play Date is a game about children dealing with difficult issues. It asks how we know what is real, and whether that even matters. Content Warnings: Bullying, alcoholism, death or illness of family members, temper tantrums, existential angst.

Rumors abound of the enigmatic Dominion, a powerful empire from beyond the wormhole, but their reclusive Founders remain hidden for now. Just days ago, two Dominion ships came screaming through the wormhole, guns blazing at each other. Their battle carried them here to the Lumarian system, where delicate trade negotiations were taking place. The embattled ships drifted into the nearby Bremaru Nebula just as the Lumarian space station was crippled in their crossfire. Now, the Federation, Klingons, Cardassians, and Romulans are racing to recover the Dominion ships and discover why two Dominion ships came to violence. Costuming encouraged! Knowledge of Star Trek: DS9 optional. If you know the difference between a Klingon and Vulcan, you know enough to play. Rules and mechanics will be taught. Pregenerated characters available.
