May 19th Game Day!

May 6, 2012 in Banner, Game Day

We’re continuing our monthly Game Days at Gamer Utopia on May 19th! Players of RPGs, board games, and war games are all welcome to join us at noon, and we’ll likely be there until the place closes (variable, but at least 9). Newbies and walk-ins welcome!

I’ll update this page as activities are added. Right now we have:

RPGs:

Winterwall (original D&D) 2/6 slots reserved

Marvel Heroic Roleplaying 0/6 slots filled

Pathfinder Society: Tide of Twilight First come, first serve

Board games:

7 Wonders (+Leaders expansion)

All of our 2012 Game Days have had a healthy dose of pick-up board gaming, especially after the RPGs wrap (around 4). Feel free to BYO games.

If you would like to GM an RPG, please post a pitch on our forums, and I’ll add it to all of our postings. If you need any assistance, comment here and I’ll be glad to help.

Check out our last Game Day post and our archives for information on the sort of event you can expect. We host these the 3rd Saturday of every month; we’ll be in Fayetteville June 16th. 

Game Day: Saturday, April 21st

April 6, 2012 in Game Day

Thanks for the picture, Brendon!

No experience required.

It’s the 4th month of the year, and–no coincidence–our 4th Game Day!

Once again, we’ll be at Gamer Utopia in Rogers. Scheduled events will (unless noted) start at 12:30, but expect for there to be open board gaming all day long, and maybe a couple of pick up RPGs.

RSVPs are not required for scheduled games, and slots may be available at the event;  if you want to guarantee a slot or encourage the host/GM of a game, make sure to RSVP! Last time we had a game fold due to insufficient participation, although interested parties showed up late hoping to play. Don’t let this happen to you (or our awesome GMs).

I’ll update this post as games are pitched; RSVP on the linked forum posts. Currently offered games:

Misspent Youth (3/4 slots reserved)

Serenity Brawl (see thread)

Pathfinder Society (1/6 slots reserved)

GMs: we would love to have you run a game! Please post a pitch thread on our forums. I will be happy to help you through any confusion, and you can see examples in our archives. Board/card/war game hosts are similarly encouraged to post what they’ll be bringing.

Our intention is to hold a Game Day every third Saturday, rotating between Benton and Washington Counties. Right now we don’t have a suitable location in Washington County, so Gamer Utopia will be hosting us exclusively until we find it.

Curious about our events? Here are details, pictures, and reviews of our last Game Day.

Game Day: March 24th

March 15, 2012 in Game Day

We're heavy on traditional fantasy this time around.

We’re hosting our 3rd Game Day of the year Saturday, March 24th at Gamer Utopia in Rogers. The scheduled events (RPGs) will start at 12:30.

For the uninitiated: 2012′s Game Days are fairly casual gatherings of one-shot (or open table) RPGs and BYO board games. You can RSVP for the RPGs, or show up and fill one of the empty slots. I encourage you to RSVP on the forums, if only to let the GMs know you’re interested! Registration for the forums is fairly painless, but you don’t have to be a member to attend the event.

Don’t worry if you’re inexperienced; newbies are VERY welcome.

 

If you enjoy a D&D-like experience, you have three flavors to choose from:

Dungeon World (1 of 4 slots filled)

Pathfinder Open Table: The Jade Regent (1 of 6 slots claimed)

Winterwall Open Table (Original D&D/Swords and Wizardry) (1 of 6 slots reserved)

If, however, you’d prefer something markedly different:

Cat (3 of 4-6 slots taken)

 

Should tradition hold, you can expect for there to be board gaming all day long, but around 4:30 the RPGs will end and board games will become the focus.

If you’re curious about our past events, here’s Meetup’s take of our February Game Day and the last one Gamer Utopia hosted.

People from the January Game Day

Everyone had a good time last month playing Winterwall, an Old School Revival game

It’s time again for our monthly Game Day. This is our second one of 2012 and we expect (and hope) for a good turn out again.

You only need to show up to Castle House Hobbies and Games on Feb 25 to play. The Game Day runs from 12:30 to 9 p.m.

Some games encourage registration if you want a guaranteed spot at the table, but it’s not required.

Also, there will be quite a few board games in play. Last month, we got some Dominion and Pandemic action. Who knows what will be offered this month.

Look in the forum for more information on the offered games:

Winterwall 

Jade Regent

Ready your dice … NWARPG Game Day is July 16

June 29, 2011 in Banner, Game Day

 

One of the things we love to do at NWARPG is try new games. Our Game Days give us a chance to do just that – sample new games and meet new people.

This one is scheduled to start at noon, Saturday, July 16 at Gamer Utopia. The owner, Shannon, was nice enough to allow us to use his space to run as many as five games during the afternoon.

If you’ve never been to one of our Game Days, no worries. There are no fees involved and you don’t need to worry about knowing how to play. The one-shot games we run are meant to demo and introduce a system.

Currently we have three role-playing games planned. Emily was nice enough to post them in our new Event system, so if you are interested please register and book one of the three games.

The Games

If you are interested in running a game, you have until July 3rd to pitch your game.

Look forward to seeing you there.
