Typically, Game-a-thon is the second Saturday of each month. However, we have to work around scheduling conflicts with the Studio of Bridge and Games.  We also try to not schedule in conflict with other gaming conventions (but it inevitably happens once in a while, despite our best efforts).  If you see a conflict we should know about, please reply to this message and let us know.

We'll be updating the Game-a-thon pages on the SWA web site soon (click here).  Check in for full info on each event as it becomes available.

We hope to see you at many SWA gaming events in 2010.

RPGA D&D at the Nov 14th Game-a-thon
Submitted by DC on Fri, 11/06/2009 - 15:08. ()

Breaking news!
There will indeed by a 2-part RPGA D&D game at next weekend's SWA Game-a-thon.

This event will kick off the Embers of Dawn LFR mini-campaign, since the Thon is a superior venue for the two-rounds-a-piece nature of the mini camapaign; it has five parts.

MINI1-1 Stirring the Embers
All is not well in the Great Port of Tarmalune and no one speaks of it. People are disappearing toward some fell purpose, and you are next. A two-round Living Forgotten Realms adventure that is Part 1 of the Embers of Dawn mini-campaign, set in Tarmalune for characters level 1-4. It is recommended that you play the Embers of Dawn mini-campaign in sequential order with one character for the best enjoyment and play possibilities within the mini-campaign, but it is not required.

A first level character is recommended, as the arc comprises 5 parts.
This will start in the first slot and run in both slots. Millie Cady will be first table judge.

We hope to see you there.
