Lost for years in a box in a basement, a vague memory led to a dedicated hunt to find this treasure from 1976! This 4 hour event features one of our newer DMs and has the party questing for an item.
Description:
Looking to play something more retro than 1st Edition AD&D? Relive the days of original (not Advanced) D&D with a run through of an Official Gen Con IX Tournament Dungeon (August 1976) tweaked to allow 8 players to participate. Veteran DM Jesse Anderson hosts this longer old school adventure. Prior experience with older versions of D&D is recommended.
Premise: Your party has offended a great and powerful (and slightly confused) wizard, and he has asked you to retrieve a wand (or was it a staff) that was borrowed (or maybe stolen) from him long ago.
Join us as we play the game that started it all and remember the man who created an industry.
As in previous years, this premium event remains a charity event. This is NOT a tournament.
Are you ready to strap on your sword & shield like it was 1976? This 4 hour event features one of our veteran DMs and has the party wheeling and dealing with a vampire.
Description:
Are you itching to try your hand at surviving an old school pre-1978 D&D module? Are you good enough to solve the puzzles before time runs out? Can you work with your fellow adventurers and outsmart the monsters?
Veteran DM Mike Boehm hosts a longer old school adventure as he responds to feedback from prior Tower of Gaxx players. This is a limited engagement with 3 separate games scheduled; one each on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. This is a continuation of last year's special event but one does not need to have played last year to participate.
