Pathfinder Tabletop Game at the RFL

December 28, 2022

If you liked D&D at the library this summer, you’ll love Pathfinder on Saturdays!

The Dragon Maze: Adventure Gaming Center, in association with Richards Free Library, invites you to join us on Saturday, January 14th from 10-2, for a thrilling fantasy adventure. We will be playing Dungeons & Dragons (Pathfinder Edition). Customizable premade characters will be provided. New players are always welcome, so bring your imagination and we’ll handle the rest…

Welcome to the age of heroes! In a land of myth and legend, you are a young adventurer who has traveled to the famed city of Ironhold, the site of one of the four Accursed Dungeons, ‘The Pit of Rovagug’. Here you can join the Adventurers Guild, and with a group of fellow aspiring heroes, seek your fortunes below…

After the Saturday the 14th kickoff, the party will reconvene on the 21st and the 28th, 10:00-2:00. See you then!
