Cosmic Patrol on Free RPG Day!

It's space opera! On a Saturday night! Okay, so maybe it's not our regular, all-official night, but we'll be at the Source playing Cosmic Patrol by Catalyst Game Labs on June 20--Free RPG Day!

Come join us for some pulp space escapades in the retro cosmos.  Cosmic Patrol is a rules-light, collaborative story-based game. Here's the particulars:
  • 6pm - close at Source Comics & Games 
  • Pre-generated male and female characters will be provided 
  • BYO polyhedrals
We'll be playing a new adventure designed just for Free RPG Day: "The Doomsday Protocols" so make sure your ray gun is electrified and ready for action!

July 11 is next SNSO at the Source

The Source has asked us to move our next Saturday Night Space Opera to July 11, since the first Saturday of next month falls on the Fourth of July--and they'll be closed early.

So we'll be up and running at our regular 6:00 p.m. start time on the 11th to play Numenera.

As a reminder, if you've got a space opera game you want to run, please get in touch with us via the Contact page!

Also, this Saturday we're running Cosmic Patrol for Free RPG Day, so come check that out too.

Gamers Wanted!

We want to help you bring your game to Saturday Night Space Opera, be it a role-playing game, miniatures war game, board, or collectible card game.

Gamemasters, please check out the GM's page for a list of ideas. And players, are always welcome to let us know what they're interested early-on so we can pair you up with a game we think  you might enjoy.

See you in July!
