What Our Players Say

    - Adam

    “This was easily the smoothest and most cohesive game I've ever been in (though that was probably the point of turning it into an event, lol), not to mention the most unique story.”

    - Spenser

    “Go with like-minded friends ready to spend most of the day on the campaign if you can, but even if you go alone, you'll likely meet new people just as excited about playing as you are!”

    - Kevin

    “Thank you for putting these events together. I can't express how meaningful they are to me. It's so much more than playing a game. It's an opportunity to make new friends and meet up with old ones. This was my third event, and each of them has been such an amazing experience. You and your team do a great job hosting. Thank you! Keep up the great work!”

    - John
