"It's 200% worth it!" - Gabriel

A Premium Pathfinder Vacation

Three days inside historic landmarks. One complete campaign. Friends, old and new, around a single table — no phones to manage, no logistics to plan, nothing to do but be fully present and roll the dice.

No planning. No stress. Show up and play — we handle the rest.

“If you are a veteran of tabletop RPGs or just starting out, you will be amazed at how much fun you will have. The DMs 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

“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

What Players Say!

The site is remarkable, the staff is more than great, and the DMs are wonderful (2 experiences); it's 200% worth it.
- Gabriel
“The best thing about the event is the friendliness of the staff and other players and the site itself. Participated in two events so far; the road is long from here in Canada, but it is so worth it! If you can manage to book a table in a 'private' room, it's even better to let yourself and your group loose to have more fun, like we did up there in the tower.”
- Kevin
“My wife and I had an awesome time playing Hellbreakers. Met one of the authors. We will be back.”‍  
- Harold
“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

Your party will receive a private channel to meet your GM, build characters, coordinate backstories, and prepare for the weekend.

The Castle & Palace

Glencairn — The Castle
Glencairn is the real thing: a stone castle-estate of great halls, medieval arches, stained glass, and genuine artifacts along the walls. Roll for initiative beneath a vaulted ceiling and the fantasy stops feeling like fantasy. This is the setting your campaigns have always imagined and never had.

“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

Cairnwood — The Palace
Where Glencairn is stone and steel, Cairnwood is candlelight and gold. A Gilded Age mansion of opulent rooms and sweeping staircases, lit low against the evening — the perfect stage for courtly intrigue, whispered alliances, and a story told in high style. You don't visit a place like this. For one weekend, you live in it.

It is an amazing venue. Big enough that you get to meet people from all over (my gaming table had people from 7 different states), but small enough that you don't get lost or feel overwhelmed.“

- Michael

Getting there is Part of the Magic!

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. We offer room-inclusive and commuter (no room) ticket options.
