Here is the next of our 13 RPG's Halloween! Join Talia, Emma, David and Guenter as we try out Candela Obscura in...
Case Title: The Gloom Beneath
Case Summary: In The Sidle, residents are reporting strange occurrences in their homes and shops. Shadows in newly lit alleys seem to shift unnaturally, items vanish without a trace, and at night, people have begun to disappear, leaving no sign of struggle. Though The Sidle has a reputation for safety due to its new electric streetlights, something sinister is lurking just beyond the glow. Candela Obscura dispatches the investigators to uncover the source of these disappearances before more citizens are lost.
We will be posting the full Case/Adventure and more over on our Patreon page: https://www.patreon.com/c/cppn

Join the Arizona Browncoats as they take a look at the cultural importance of the Space Western genre, exploring where it came from, how it has affected modern media, and where we see the genre going in the future.
Panelists:
Zach Hoyt, Megan Hall and ME! (James Springer) as we take Old West and Sci Fi!
 
The Arizona Browncoats, legally Arizona Browncoats, Inc, are a fan-club and cosplay organization that has grown into a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit charity. Brought together by our love of the television show Firefly, we aim to do good works in our local community and throughout the ‘Verse, partnering with charities and local businesses to host fundraisers and other events while making friends along the way.
​Originally the name given to soldiers who fought against the Alliance in the Unification War, the term Browncoat is now used to describe Firefly fans around the world. The Arizona Browncoats host events, often called shindigs, that are typically family-friendly occasions where fans of the show and like-minded folk get together to socialize with one another. We also hold fundraising events, attend conventions, and participate in other shiny gatherings.
Come check out one of our shindigs in Phoenix or Tucson or join us at an upcoming event!
Need to get in touch with us? Email us at info@azbrowncoats.us and we'll get back to you!
​If you're interested in having us appear at an event, please reach out to our Events Director at events@azbrowncoats.us.

Tucson Comic Con 2024 Panel Narrative Role-Playing Games - A New Genre? Panelists: Becca Aazlor, Clayton Aazlor, Kirsten AazlorRecorded live at Tucson Comic Con Saturday August 31, 2024 :: 11:20 am to 12:10 pm
There has always been a massive divide between the kind of role one takes on in a video game or table top roleplaying game (TTRPG), and the kind of role one takes on when imagining and playing make-believe with friends as children. While D&D and many other systems try and bridge this divide, the problem is simply that the perspective of TTRPGs has always been mechanic first and narrative second. We don't have to play this way. Come and check out Transcendence. The first of its kind, this narrative RPG system has developed a set of mechanics to support your imagination. It's an entirely new system and approach that will change more than just how you game with friends. Be warned though - this game isn't made for everyone. Transcendence, and this panel, is for those who constantly feel stifled and wish for something truly new. If you find yourself intrigued come and get a free e-copy of the Transcendence Core Rulebook!
TranscendencE RPG Core Rulebook can be found at https://funism.fun/
