Pawn is a horror based, a storytelling-RPG hybrid game based in a setting where armageddon has been raging for over 4,000 years.  Most of the players take the role of Pawns (ie mortal humans), fighting for survival as the two Avatars (the GMs of the game) fight for control of sins and virtues in an effort to bring about Armageddon.

This session is the first playtest of Pawn. We will be testing two core mechanics: the Avatar card game mechanics and the Pawn RPG mechanics.  I'm looking for one player with GM/DM experience to help with the Avatar testing and at least 5 players to help with the Pawn testing.  Pawn testers do not need previous storytelling or RPG experience.

First Past the Post is a mid-weight strategic area control game based on the Canadian electoral system. The game has been in the works for a year, but this will be the first play test of the prototype. The game will likely take about an hour and a half to play - although it will likely be a bit laborious and buggy at times - and I will be looking for some productive feedback afterward.

We will be hosting an area at PGX devoted to role-playing games. If you would like to run a RPG event please let us know. Past games have included Pathfinder, Dungeons & Dragons, Star Wars, 3 6 9 & more!

GAME: Pathfinder
TEACHER: Saskatchewan Pathfinder Society
START TIME: 10:00am (Running All Day)
DURATION: up to 60 minutes per Scenario, multiple scenarios to play.
PLAYERS: 6 max. at a table
Games will start as spots fill up. No pre-registration required.

Pathfinder is a tabletop fantasy roleplaying game developed by Paizo. Characters are used to complete various adventures and scenarios to further their factions and the pathfinder organization. We accept groups of people or individuals that would like to test out pathfinder. If you choose to register for the organized play, your character will be valid to be used at any sanctioned Pathfinder events. It is a great way to jump into the world of roleplaying and easy to introduce new players. Each introduction scenario is developed for new players and the pre-generated characters used are easy to use. Tables can vary from 4 players to 6 and we will have multiple Game Masters available to assist. If you have any further questions feel free to email us at SaskatoonPFS@gmail.com

GAME: Chronicles of Darkness (New World of Darkness, 2nd Ed.) (http://theonyxpath.com/category/worlds/chroniclesofdarkness/)
TEACHER: bboileau
TIME: 9:00am - 12:00pm
DURATION: up to 75 minutes per Story.
PLAYERS: 5 max. at a table
Games will start as spots fill up. No pre-registration required, but early sign-ups are welcome! With the time slot for 3 hours, there will likely be two sessions—9:00am and 10:15am.

After an extensive overhaul of the concepts of the Classic World of Darkness, the Chronicles of Darkness (sometimes "CofD") was developed in 2004 with the release of the World of Darkness Rulebook, featuring a game of ordinary people who find themselves embroiled in the supernatural. More than a decade later, it remains a fan favorite supporting an incredible ten supporting lines, such as Vampire: The Requiem, Werewolf: The Forsaken, and more!

GAME: Dread RPG (https://dreadthegame.wordpress.com/about-dread-the-game/)
TEACHER: bboileau
TIME: 2:00pm - 5:00pm
DURATION: up to 60 minutes per Story.
PLAYERS: 5 max. at a table
Games will start as spots fill up. No pre-registration required, but early sign-ups are welcome! With the time slot for 3 hours, there will likely be three sessions on the hour.

Dread is a game of horror and hope. Those who play will participate in a mutual telling of an original macabre tale. The goal of Dread is to sustain the delicate atmosphere that invokes the hand quivering emotion that lends its name to the game. The thrill of a Dread game lies within the tension between desire and loss. You will take on the role of someone trapped in a story that is only as compelling as it is hostile—someone who will find themselves making decisions we hope never to face in real life.

It is the horror roleplaying game that uses Jenga® instead of dice. Pull from the tower and you succeed. Refuse to pull and you fail. The choice is yours. But if the tower falls . . .

GAME: Call of Cthulhu RPG (http://www.chaosium.com/call-of-cthulhu-rpg/) (Dockside Dogs)

Call of Cthulhu is a horror roleplaying game using the Basic Roleplaying system and based upon the writings of Howard Phillips Lovecraft and a few others. Lovecraft wrote during the 1920s and 1930s, and he became a cult figure before dying in 1937. Since then his stature as an author has grown, and now he is generally recognized as the major American horror-story writer of the twentieth century.

Scenario: A group of well-dressed criminals arrive at a warehouse to rendezvous after pulling off an extraordinary crime. They know each other only by their pseudonyms - Mister Black, Mister Red, Mister Green, Mister Purple, Mister Beige, Mister Silver, Mister Grey. The plan is simply to sit tight until midnight when someone will arrive to ferry them - and the loot - across the bay to make a final delivery to the boss. Sounds easy, right?

But things take a turn for the weird; strange things happen in and around the warehouse. Things which make the criminals doubt the allegiances of the compatriots, their own sanity, and ultimately the very nature of reality. It is going to be a long wait for the ferryman.

Dockside Dogs is a one-shot scenario for Call of Cthulhu. Three to six players take on the roles of the well-dressed criminals, hoping against all odds that they will make it through the night. Start time 5 pm so come on down and join in for the trip  to the dockside

Hey, Brad and I would like to sign up for Pathfinder at 10am, but if I am reading the post correctly do we just show up and the first 6 to the table will get to play? Or can we actually sign up for it here?

I would like to volunteer for the registration table from 9-10AM.

Hi Brit,

These sessions are organized as drop-ins so you just show up and get into a 1-hour session with the Pathfinder group.

Brad

I agree with bboileau's response but would like to add that if you have interest in Pathfinder you respond to this forum to express your interest. Seeing how much interest there is in advance helps the Pathfinder folks organise their day. That said, people are welcome to simply "drop in" for a session on the day of Prairie Game Expo.

Innovative command tools, two distinct factions, and countless ways to customize your experience combine to offer an unparalleled miniatures gaming experience in RuneWars. Finally, with forty-eight beautifully sculpted, unpainted figures, you'll be able to paint and customize your armies to bring an entirely unique touch to your games and enter the hobby of miniatures painting!

I'm probably going to be there, it's too far in the future to confirm 100% yet. Among other things, I'll probably be bringing out Rum & Bones second tide and teaching that. Should I pick up two more expansions, I think it may even be possible to run a tourney or something. I dunno, just brainstorming at this point.

In line with our Roleplaying and Storytelling emphasis for this May's PGX, I have posted sessions of Chronicles of Darkness (starting 9 am) and Dread RPG (starting 2 pm), both excellent horror-based storytelling systems. Come, learn, and build a story with me!

Hey Cory, I posted your RPG session to the Roleplaying area, how long can participants expect to play for yours?

Brad

2-4 hours

GAME: Agricola
TEACHER: milothewise [Nick]
START TIME: 9:30
DURATION: ~2 Hours, 30 minutes
# OF PLAYERS: 2-5

In Agricola, you're a farmer in a wooden shack with your spouse and little else. On a turn, you get to take only two actions, one for you and one for the spouse, from all the possibilities you'll find on a farm: collecting clay, wood, or stone; building fences; and so on. You might think about having kids in order to get more work accomplished, but first you need to expand your house. And what are you going to feed all the little rugrats?

GAME: Dungeon Lords
TEACHER: milothewise [Nick]
START TIME: 12:30
DURATION: ~3 Hours, 30 minutes
# OF PLAYERS: 2-4
A very involved worker-placement game where the winner is the evil genius with the most elaborate dungeon after 2 years of do-gooder adverturers pillaging your ill-gotten gains.

Have you ever ventured with party of heroes to conquer dungeons, gain pride, experiences and of course rich treasure? And has it ever occurred to you how hard it actually is to build and manage such underground complex filled with corridors and creatures? No? Well now you can try. Put yourself in role of the master of underground, summon your servants, dig complex of tunnels and rooms, set traps, hire creatures and try to stop filthy heroes from conquering and plundering your precious creation. We can guarantee you will look on dark corners, lairs and their inhabitant from completely different perspective!

I would like to sign up to play both Agricola and Dungeon Lords.

I'll do the Lanterns Tournament please.

I will also attempt the Chronicles of Darkness at 9 - in case you are starting a list!

I am posting to see if any Netrunner players would be interested in playing the Terminal Directive Campaign for Netrunner. I have a volunteer who is ready to oversee the event. It will take approximately 2 hours. Players would, ideally, need their own deck, including Terminal Directive. Nick (the volunteer) would have a copy of Terminal Directive, for demo purposes. If you are interested please reply to this post. If there is enough interest we will post the details. We do have the Terminal Directive organized play kit, which would provide each player with an exclusive promo card.

GAME: X-Wing: Star Wars Miniatures - Wave 1 to 3 101 Pt. Tournament
ORGANIZER: Derek Chow
START TIME: 10:00am
DURATION: 6 hours
PLAYERS: 10 player maximum
DETAILS: X-Wing will once again be featured at Prairie Game Expo.  This tournament will follow standard FFG X-Wing tourney rules with some special exceptions.  The player roster limit will be capped at 10 participants.  There will be 4 rounds of swiss played at 75 min. each in length.  We will stop and take a break after the second game for lunch.  To avoid anyone having to sit out in bye rounds, I will only play in the tournament if we have an odd number of entrants, otherwise I will be organizing and running a learn to play station as well.   A prize support kit for the tourney is being generously donated by ComicReaders downtown.  The exceptions to the standard tourney rules are as follows:

Wave 1 to 3 ships only

It is my intention to feature classic Star Wars ships from the original trilogy at this PGX.  Thus only ships from Waves 1 to 3 will be allowed to be fielded.  This means no scum, and a limited roster of Rebel and Imperial ships.  However, ship upgrade cards from any wave will still be legal.  A list of available ships to use are as follows:

Rebel:
T-65 X-Wing
Y-Wing
YT-1300 Freighter (Rebel pilots only, NO Resistance)
A-Wing
B-Wing
HWK-290

Imperial:
TIE Fighter
TIE Advanced
Slave 1 (Imperial pilots only, NO Scum)
TIE Interceptor
TIE Bomber
Lambda-Class Shuttle

101 Point Squads
Ever feel like you designed the perfect squad, only to find out it was 1 point over 100?  Well you won't have to worry about that here.  The squad point limit will be capped at 101 points instead of the standard 100 at this tournament. 

To register for a spot in the tournament please post a reply in this PGX forum or on the Star Wars X-Wing Regina Facebook page (but not both!).  Pre-registration is not necessary to participate, but there is a limit of 10 players.

I'll play Fury of Dracula.

The dexterity game Ice Cool will be featured at Prairie Game Expo. This family-friendly game will be set up for most of the day.

Ice Cool is a flicking game in which each round one of the players takes the role of the Hall Monitor (also called "the Catcher") – his aim will be to catch each other penguin and get points for that. The others (also known as "Runners") will try to run through several doors, thus gaining fish (that give them points) on their way. When either the Hall Monitor has caught each other penguin once or any of the others has gone through all 3 doors that have fish on them, the round is over. Each player will take the role of the Hall Monitor once and at the end of the game the winner will be the one with the most points on their fish cards.

Plays 2 - 4 players.
Takes about 30 minutes to play.
Registration is not required.
A great way to start your Prairie Game Expo experience!

If there is absolutely NO interest in neither Talisman NOR Rum & Bones, then I'm tempted to hop in the X-Wing tourney. *HOWEVER*, I will wait 'til the day of or the day before to join up. So if it fills up before then, no big deal. I definitely don't want to take up a spot right now. Just expressing interest, since it's been *months* since I've played.

For the Lanterns: The Harvest Festival Tournament, in addition to a PGX mug, the winner will walk away with a special Lanterns: Snowflake Promo Tile!


Sign-up for the tournament today and also let us know if you can provide a copy for the Tournament!

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT!


There has been a change to the food vendor for this month's PGX. We welcome Tim Philp and the Nacho Fiesta Food Truck to the fold!  :excited

Nacho Fiesta is a really popular local food truck that will arrive at the Core Ritchie Community Centre at 2 pm. They will be selling drinks for $3, tacos for 1/$6 2/$11 3/$14, and nachos for $12.

As for the remainder of the day, Comic Readers will be supplying Tim Hortons coffee in the morning by donation and we will be allowing outside food for this PGX, preferably only up to 2 pm.

At this time, we'd like to thank Street Culture Kidz for their past involvement and participation as our food Vendor. We really appreciate the time and effort they put in and wish them all the best in their future works and programs.

GAME:Netrunner: Terminal Directive Campaign Expansion
ORGANIZER: Nick M
START TIME: 2 PM
DURATION: 120 minutes
PLAYERS: 6 player maximum
DETAILS: An augmented killer is on the loose... Terminal Directive is a narrative campaign expansion for Android: Netrunner The Card Game that allows you to enjoy a constantly evolving murder mystery in the Android universe. Netrunner is a two-player game but Nick will have copies of Terminal Directive with him that people can borrow. Ideally, players should bring a playable deck (from the Core set, for example) for use in the Terminal Directive campaign. Nick will guide players through the mechanics. This is a good chance to learn about Netrunner if you've never played, but also an opportunity for existing players to try a new way to play Netrunner. ComicReaders Downtown has provided the Terminal Directive Campaign Expansion Event Kit for use at Prairie Game Expo.

Pre-registration is not required but is recommended so Nick can prepare.

Please add Darren M. and Jamison M. to the X-Wing event

So many games I'd love to try...unfortunately can't make it out for this one.  Have fun everyone!

Pawn is a horror based, a storytelling-RPG hybrid game based in a setting where armageddon has been raging for over 4,000 years.  Most of the players take the role of Pawns (ie mortal humans), fighting for survival as the two Avatars (the GMs of the game) fight for control of sins and virtues in an effort to bring about armageddon.
This session is the first playtest of Pawn.  We will be testing two core mechanics; the Avatar card game mechanics, and the Pawn RPG mechanics.  I'm looking for one player with GM/DM experience to help with the Avatar testing and at least 5 players to help with the Pawn testing.  Pawn testers do not need previous storytelling or RPG experience.

Sign me up for the Netrunner event!

I can teach the learn to play for For Sale if that's still needed.

https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/172/sale

I will sign up for the Pawn testing. I have some DM/GM experience, albeit from some decades past...

Sign me up for LANTERNS tournament please.

As long as you can be creative on your feet, that is what I'm looking for.  Can you handle players that are actively trying to undermine your DM/GM story?

I signed myself up for a 10am session of Runewars Miniatures.

I added in the first scheduled play test of my game based on the Canadian electoral system, First Past the Post, in the Game Designer's Corner. I'm looking forward to finally trying it out!

Please sign me up for Fury of Dracula.

I'll jump in on Fury of Dracula, please and thank you

I'll join the First Past the Post playtest as well.

Alright, there doesn't seem to be enough interest in neither Rum & Bones nor Talisman (thanks for trying, Bryce) so I'm going to go ahead and cancel them. Sure, I could wait and see if people join up day of, but that's a lot of stuff to haul out on a maybe. I'm a fan of certainty. Sorry if this is a recurring theme of mine. In the meantime, since there still appears to be space left in X-Wing, I'll sign up for that instead.

Pawn will be from 12:30-13:30.

I'll give Fury of Dracula a try. 

Hello, I would like to sign up for agricola and dungeon lords

Dumb question, but this includes pilots too, right? I feel like there's certain pilots (Like imperial aces, for example) that came out after those waves. Those are okay to use, yes?

Some more details on the Netrunner: Terminal Directive event -

This event will last around 2 hours. Players will be paired up and play around 4 games against each other.
As the event goes on, the player's goals may change somewhat - between games, participants will have an opportunity to change the cards in their decks.
For this event, cards from a single Core Set and the Terminal Directive set will be used.

You don't need to have your own cards, and it's fine if you're new to the game - there are enough pre-made decks for up to six people to participate.
ComicReaders Downtown has kindly lent a Terminal Directive set for use in this event.
ComicReaders Downtown has also supplied some promo cards, which will be given to participants over the course of the event.


For people who prefer a shorter game, there are some demo decks to try too, which would take around 30 minutes.

Please add Jen G. to the Netrunner event.

I was nearby during part of that game. She looked REALLY into it. She was asking a lot of questions and Derek was all in with the answers. Derek is a great ambassador for X-Wing.
