GAME: Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition
ORGANIZER: Berny H
TIME: 10:00am; 1:00pm; 4:00pm; 6:30pm
DURATION: 90 - 120 minutes per session
PLAYERS: 3 - 5 players per session
DETAILS: Berny is a newer DM looking for with other first time players or veterans who don't mind playing with those who are new. Each session is a 1st level, short Dungeons & Dragons adventure where we will have fun, kill stuff, learn a bit about D&D together, and hopefully make friends. Take on the role of a longsword-wielding fhero to fight evil, or a powerful sorceress who can shoot ice from her fingertips, or help out your allies with cosmic healing as a dwarven cleric!

No experience required. Ages 16+ unless otherwise permitted. You will not be required or expected to act out or use a dwarven voice, but you are most welcome to, as this is a role-playing game.

Using pre-made classic characters we should be able to jump into the game fairly quickly after a brief tutorial of really basic, simple 5th edition rules. Note that this is not a serious game where every rules will be followed to the letter. The goal is to have fun and learn how to DM/play D&D.

The Saskatchewan Pathfinder Society and The Saskatchewan Starfinder Society return to Prairie Game Expo!

GAME: Starfinder - Skittershot
ORGANIZER: Saskatchewan Starfinder Society
TIME: 9:00am
DURATION: approximately 3 - 5 hours
PLAYERS: 4
DETAILS: When a routine salvage operation deep in the Vast goes awry, the skittermanders Dakoyo, Gazigaz, Nako, and Quonx must board a luxurious cruise liner controlled by a rogue artificial intelligence to save their vesk boss and a group of hapless passengers. All manner of obstacles block their path to success, from malfunctioning massage tables to cybernetic undead to vermin from another plane, but if the skittermanders can work together (something skittermanders do best), they are sure to be hailed as tiny, furry heroes! That is, of course, if the passing pirate starship doesn't blast them all out of space first...

In addition to this exciting adventure, this book includes four pregenerated characters that are ready to play, with full stat blocks and backstories. The inside back cover also holds a wealth of information that will help you roleplay the six-armed creatures, such as their species' thoughts on food, religion, and how to relate to other cultures, as well as examples of skittermander slang.

Skitter Shot is an adventure for four skittermander characters who are eager to help those in need and explore a seemingly abandoned starship, written for the wildly popular Starfinder RPG.

GAME: Starfinder - Scoured Stars Invasion
ORGANIZER: Saskatchewan Starfinder Society
TIME: 1:00pm
DURATION: approximately 3 - 5 hours
PLAYERS: 24
DETAILS: Scoured Stars Invasion is a Starfinder Society Scenario designed for levels 1 - 8. Balancing time against the lives of the myriad trapped Starfinders, nominated First Seeker Luwazi Elsebo authorizes a dangerous mission to return to the fated region of space known as the Scoured Stars. The might of the resurgent Society is finally poised to breach the formerly impenetrable barrier surrounding the trinary system. The galaxy pauses to watch if a new generation of Starfinders can save those once lost. A mission of exploration and a mission of mercy, this return to the Scoured Stars will undoubtedly shape the future of the Starfinder Society.

Content in The Scoured Stars Invasion also contributes to the ongoing goals of the Second Seekers (Luwazi Elsebo) faction. Content in this scenario also contributes to the ongoing year of the Scoured Stars storyline.

GAME: Star Wars Legion
ORGANIZER: Shawn M
TIME: 5:00 PM
DURATION: varies
PLAYERS: 2 players per session
DETAILS: Star Wars: Legion invites you to enter the ground battles of the Galactic Civil War as the commander of a unique army of miniatures filled with troopers, powerful ground or repulsor vehicles, and iconic characters like Darth Vader or Luke Skywalker. While innovative mechanics for command and control simulate the fog of war and the chaos of battle, the game's unpainted, easily assembled minis give you a canvas to create the Star Wars army you've always wanted to lead into battle — whether you fight for the monolithic, oppressive Galactic Empire or the ragtag Rebel Alliance.

Shawn M will be demoing Star Wars Legion, starting at 5:00 PM. 2 players per session; no experience or material required; plenty of room for onlookers; and, plenty of time for questions. If you already play Legion feel free to come to Prairie Game Expo for pick-up games.
