Performance | Game Play Live Presents: Bluebeard's Bride

RPG | Daggerheart w/ Chris Wood
12p (2hr), Gallery (downstairs), 6 players
Circles of Ash-Kashar
The world has moved on. The Breaking devastated every realm throughout Ash-Kashar. Cities that stood for millenia crumbled to ruin. Great dynasties were felled by disease or misfortune. Forests turned to wastelands overnight. Even the Gods themselves fell silent. Those who aren't dead or mad huddle in border towns or among packs of nomads, waiting for The Promised End. You are not one of them. You and your circle will take up what arms you can, be they the magic swords of ages past or the sandalwood revolvers of your fathers, and stand against the dying of the world.
I've been running RPGs at Twenty Sided since the D&D 4E days. My hope when you sit at my table is that we leave the world behind for a few hours and build an amazing story together.

RPG | Mystic Aether: Clearwater Peak w/ Alex Weeks aka "AJ the Fae"
12p (3hr), Parlor (main floor, table 2), 7 players
It has been several years since you have been to Clearwater Peak. A few days ago you received a message from your close friends Sam and Max. In the letter they mention a newspaper clipping with an old marked up trail guide of Clearwater Peak resembling a treasure map that they found when cleaning out their Grandparents’ lake house. The article reported a stolen artifact that went missing from Blackbottom’s World Fair of Incredible Inventions over a century ago.

Coven Ritual is a shared storytelling game played with Lauren Bilanko's Mystic Aether Reverie deck in which you, a Mystic working in the shadows, have been summoned by the Coven Mother to investigate a great disturbance vibrating within The Hive. Together you will perform a powerful ritual, channeling your collective energy and interpreting the images of the Reverie cards to weave a powerful story. Only you can restore balance to the Universe. May Reverie guide you.
Danielle is an incredible roleplayer and official Mystic Aether playtester. You may know her as Bruce "the concerned citizen" from Adventurer's Coalition or had the pleasure of playing with her at another Twenty Sided sidequest event.

RPG | One of Us Dies Tonight w/ The Designated DM
3:30p (1hr) & 4:45p (1hr), Parlor (main floor, table 2), 5 players
One of Us Dies Tonight is a simple tabletop role-playing game of horror, tension, and survival. Played without a Game Master, this game pits one player as the Monster against up to five others playing Survivors in a suspenseful horror scenario. The game draws from classic horror movie tropes and themes, pushing players into a story that can only end one way: One of us dies tonight. This event will run through the game with me as the Monster, in an improv heavy fun horror story that will take suggestions from all players.
I am Ricardo Garcia, a professional Game Master, storyteller, and game designer.
