The Castle: Glencairn
Glencairn is a true medieval masterpiece with soaring halls, stone staircases, and museum-level architecture that elevates every moment of play. From dramatic roleplaying scenes to late-night dice rolls beneath vaulted ceilings, this is tabletop gaming the way it was meant to be experienced.
“The setting was truly inspiring for the gameplay. Our GM was amazing, engaging, and uplifting. It may have been our group, but I can certainly see playing with all our party members in the future!” - Scott
A Premier RPG Vacation
Paizo partners with The Game Theatre's vacation gaming experts to host tabletop RPG getaways in fantasy-inspired locations.

“Thank you for putting these events together. I can't express how meaningful they are to me. It's so much more than playing a game. It's an opportunity to make new friends and meet up with old ones. This was my third event, and each of them has been such an amazing experience. You and your team do a great job hosting. Thank you! Keep up the great work!” - John

Key Details
Both June and August 2026 weekends share the same format, details, and ticket options.
Venue Glencairn Museum | 1001 Cathedral Road, Bryn Athyn, PA 19009 — 40 minutes north of Philadelphia International Airport (PHL). Free parking is available at both the castle and on-campus housing.
Schedule Check-in begins at 10:00 AM Friday. Gaming begins at 11:00 AM and runs through Sunday afternoon. Plan flights accordingly.
On-Site or Commuter On-site tickets include suite-style housing at Bryn Athyn College, directly across from the castle. Choose a 2-night (Fri–Sat) or 3-night (Thu–Sat) stay. The 3-night option is ideal for travelers arriving from out of the area. Commuter tickets are for local players or those with their own accommodations — housing is not included, but all gameplay and meals during event hours are.
Meals On-site tickets include all meals from Friday breakfast through Sunday lunch. Commuter tickets include Friday and Saturday lunch and dinner, plus Sunday lunch. All tickets include unlimited snacks and beverages throughout the weekend. Adult beverages are served at dinner. We accommodate vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free diets and avoid common allergens including seafood, shellfish, and peanuts.
Adventure Tables Tables are capped at 6 players to preserve quality and immersion. Couples, friends, and families who book the same campaign are seated together. Groups of 3–4 will have additional players added to complete the table. A table closes at 5–6 players.
Pre-Event Prep Discord channels open 2–3 weeks before each event. Your party will receive a private channel to meet your GM, build characters, coordinate backstories, and prepare for the weekend.
Our Accelerated Paths solve the problem
Finally, an Adventure Path in one unforgettable weekend!
Your game keeps getting canceled. Scheduling is impossible. Half your group is on Discord, phones out, distracted. You miss the magic of being truly present with friends.
Many groups can’t meet regularly — life happens. We solve that: play all weekend and complete a whole story from start to finish. Begin with a new character and leave with an epic tale to share for years.
You’re the heroes the world needs! Our curated campaigns fast-track the action, packing in big roleplayING moments and boss battles. From Friday to Sunday, each session hits key story milestones, ensuring you experience everything that matters.
“Amazing job running a table of six people and condensing a campaign packed with material while letting us each try to tell a bit of our story!” - Aethelas
🔥 Why Play Hellbreakers!
Pathfinder 2E • Levels 1–10 • High-Stakes Frontier Adventure
Hellfire Crisis dawns and spreads its turmoil throughout Avistan. The nation of Isger is being destabilized by the rebel organization, the Hellbreakers League, which seeks to free Isger from its oppressor and patron, the infernal Cheliax. Player characters will carry out daring missions against Chelaxian strongholds, face off with the deadly Hellknights, and strike out against the forces of Hell itself! On the way, they’ll run into dangerous enemies, both new and old, and uncover long-lost secrets, powerful and ancient. Can the PCs stoke the fires of revolution and throw off the diabolical chains of Cheliax, or will they be ground beneath the boot of oppression? Join the Hellbreakers and do your part!
Hellbreakers is a 256-page hardcover Adventure Path designed for four characters, starting at 1st level and rising through the ranks to reach 10th level at the campaign’s exciting conclusion. Hellbreakers also includes a gazetteer of the lands and people that make up the nation of Isger and a look into the cults of Urgathoa, as well as useful new items, exciting character options, and a host of dangerous monsters.

Plenty of time to catch an evening flight out of Philadelphia.
Travel is Easy!
The majestic historic district of Bryn Athyn hosts many of our events. This world of genuine Gothic revival and Gilded Age architecture is just 40 minutes north of Philadelphia’s Airport. No shuttles are provided between the airport and the venue. Of course, apps simplify travel nowadays.
On-Site Housing
Summer 2026 tickets include modern on-site housing at Bryn Athyn College, proximate to the Castle and within the Bryn Athyn Historic District.
✔️ 2-minute drive / 12-minute walk to the castle
✔️ No travel to and from a hotel
✔️ Suite-style residences with modern comfort + breakfast on campus.
Live nearby? We offer commuter tickets. Prefer a hotel? Book a commuter ticket and then book your own hotel independently.
This upgrade offers an all-inclusive retreat — more time gaming and less time commuting. Wake up where the adventure happens!
Prefer a Hotel Stay?
If you prefer a hotel room to campus housing, we recommend booking a commuter ticket to the event (no on-site room or breakfast included), then booking a hotel independently. Fort Washington and Willow Grove, PA, both have hotel options within a 15-20 minute drive of the castle, and these are hotels we’ve booked in the past. Book early, as summer fills fast in Philadelphia, especially with the World Cup being in town.
What Players Say…
If you are a veteran of tabletop RPGs or just starting out, you will be amazed at how much fun you will have. The DM's are all amazing, the staff is incredible, and the thrills are endless! By the time you sit down, you have made new friends and are in for the adventure of a lifetime! - Adam
“This was easily the smoothest and most cohesive game I've ever been in (though that was probably the point of turning it into an event, lol), not to mention the most unique story.” - Spenser
“Go with like-minded friends ready to spend most of the day on the campaign if you can, but even if you go alone, you'll likely meet new people just as excited about playing as you are!” - Kevin
“Thank you for putting these events together. I can't express how meaningful they are to me. It's so much more than playing a game. It's an opportunity to make new friends and meet up with old ones. This was my third event, and each of them has been such an amazing experience. You and your team do a great job hosting. Thank you! Keep up the great work!” - John
