We'll also be giving away some treats for those who come in costume, so bring a pillow case to collect your candy, and get ready for an evening of tricks, treats and terrifying TTRPGs!Admission is $10 each (+tax and Eventbrite fees), granting everyone access to both the event, and our collection of 600+ board games before and after the event (provided there is space)! Please note, these Halloween Spooky TTRPG games may not be suitable for all ages due to some mature themes in these horror settings. We’ve used a rough estimate on what the session would be rated if it were a movie.

Please note that players under 14 years of age must be accompanied by a chaperone playing at the table.
