Join experienced GM Paula for a one-shot of Dread, a horror game that uses a Jenga tower to determine your fate.
About this Event

ABOUT THE GAME

Dread is a horror RPG where instead of rolling dice to determine the outcome of your actions, you'll be pulling pieces from a Jenga tower. If you pull a block successfully, you complete the action successfully. If the tower falls, your character dies.

In this particular game of Dread, you'll be playing associates of Mr. Henry Marlow. One of the most successful bankers of this generation. He is known for his confident personality and his striking good luck. Everything always seemed to work out for him immeasurably well, and this has leant him untold wealth and power. Staying in his good graces could mean a piece of his influence or fortune. However, Mr Marlow is known for taking extreme risks and being willing to sacrifice anything. Good thing it always works out for him. Working with Mr. Marlow can be a risky game, but you all have your reasons to take on that risk.
