Free RPG Day at The Source!

Just a quick reminder: Free RPG Day, Saturday, is June 15! We'll be at Source Comics & Games to run some exciting and thought-proving sci-fi RPGs! As always, it's free to play and you don't need to bring anything or have previous experience. Materials will be provided and rules are easy to learn. Games run approximately 3-4 hours. Check out the schedule:

SOURCE COMICS & GAMES - ROSEVILLE, MN

Games at The Source will be 3-4 hours in length.

2:00 P.M.

Title: HOMESHIP
Game System: Kingdom
Deep Space 9, Babylon 5, Star Trek, and Battlestar Galactica are all great shows about a community dealing with external threats, internal divisions, and existential questions about who the community is. Create the community of the HomeShip and explore its journey as important members of the community. This story is yours to tell!
Game Master: Patrick Schifano

6:00 P.M.



Title: THE APOCALYPSE ARK
Game System: Mutant Crawl Classics
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 tracked 10-story-tall monstrosity begins cutting a gigantic swath through your hothouse jungle homeland. Invulnerable to even the mightiest mutations, your only hope to stop its menacing march is to find entry to its interior and access its power sources and sinister inhabitants.  A 5th-level Mutant Crawl Classics adventure for 3-8 players. Written by Brendan J. LaSalle.
Game Master:  Matt Towle
