June: FREE RPG DAY!

Hey gamer geeks! We're skipping our usual SNSO game night so we can bring you a gaggle of games on Free RPG Day, Saturday, June 15! If you've ever wanted to try out a system you've never played--or are just looking for something fun and awesome to do, THIS IS YOUR DAY!

All games are free to play and you don't need to bring anything or have previous experience. All materials will be provided and rules will be taught.

This year, we'll be running games at two locations:

SOURCE COMICS & GAMES - ROSEVILLE, MN

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

2:00 P.M.

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.

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.
