Gaming: Campaign RPGs

Jul• 30•14

Do you instantly perk up when you hear the names Pathfinder, Living Forgotten Realms, Shadowrun Missions or Legends of Arcanis? Our gaming industry campaign offerings include, or have included in the past companies such as Wizards of the Coast, Paizo, Paradigm Concepts, Catalyst Games, and AEG.

These campaigns are national (and some international) where the characters you create and play can be taken to other conventions and events around the globe. Each game company with its own campaign offering has staff providing quality adventures, knowledgeable judges, and a website with information regarding the campaign offering as well as any specific house rules and character creation guidelines.

Learn more about specific campaign offerings on our Campaign RPGs page. Anyone wishing to drop by and watch or even try out an event or two is strongly encouraged. See you there!
