SUMMARY:The Dark Carnival 2024
DESCRIPTION:“The 3 types of terror: The Gross-out: the sight of a severed head tumbling down a flight of stairs\, it’s when the lights go out and something green and slimy splatters against your arm. The Horror: the unnatural\, spiders the size of bears\, the dead waking up and walking around\, it’s when the lights go out and something with claws grabs you by the arm. And the last and worse one: Terror\, when you come home and notice everything you own had been taken away and replaced by an exact substitute. It’s when the lights go out and you feel something behind you\, you hear it\, you feel its breath against your ear\, but when you turn around\, there’s nothing there…” \n― Stephen King \nRaleigh Tabletop RPGs is excited to bring you back to the infamous Dark Carnival\, our very own horror-themed Special Event.

SUMMARY:Girl By Moonlight
DESCRIPTION:Dream travelers seeking the truth of a magical conspiracy. \nIn a Maze of Dreams is about desire\, mass culture\, and ideas developing a life of their own. It is filled with guarded hearts\, whose truth can only be found in dreams. The protagonists have learned to take refuge in those dreams\, but now find themselves tangled up in the Conspiracy—a multifarious sinister plot\, a virus of human thoughts. They must unravel the Conspiracy\, lest it devour our dreams\, and make a nightmare of the waking world. \nGirl by Moonlight is published by Evil Hat Productions and uses the Forged in the Dark SRD. This Community Campaign takes place every Saturday between July 6th and August 17th.

SUMMARY:Casual Hangout
DESCRIPTION:RTR member Spencer has worked with Lance at the Gamers Geekery & Tavern in Cary to pilot a new series of Casual Meets for the group. \nGeneral Overview\nRTR Casual Meets have a long and storied history as places where Triangle-area gamers can gather for casual conversation and fellowship. They’re a great place to both catch up with old friends and reminisce about great games that came before and to meet new and interesting people and even find players/GMs for future games! \nIn the future\, we might occasionally offer an optional RPG-related workshop or roundtable\, and it’s totally alright to bring a short boardgame or card game you’d like to play\, but the Casual Meet is primarily intended as an unstructured social gathering. \nThe host business has agreed to initially waive their headcount fees for our group as we pilot this new program with them. While there’s no requirement to do so\, it would be courteous to try to buy some food and drink while you’re there\, as the GG&T offers both! \nFeel free to bring a friend\, but please try to add a +1 to your RSVP here on Meetup if you do so; we try to provide the host with as accurate a number as we can ahead of time. \nSafety and Expectations\nAs a general rule\, always respect the rules and requirements of our host establishment\, as RTR is a guest in their business! \nCurrently\, GG&T doesn’t have a requirement for masking\, but they do follow all state mandates\, so please be aware of those before any events held here. \nWe ask that our members be considerate and stay home if they are feeling ill or have other illness concerns; there’s always next time. If you have allergies\, please consider wearing a mask; you may not be sick\, but a sneeze is a sneeze! The Event Host will generally try to have a box of disposable masks available as a second resort. \nIf you find out after attending any in-person RTR event that you’ve suffered a Covid exposure\, or test positive\, please inform the Organizers ASAP\, so that they can disseminate the potential risk information to others so they can test at their own discretion. If you knowingly bring an illness to an RTR event\, you will not be welcome at future gatherings. \nFeedback and Future Events\nSpencer will be collecting feedback after the Casual Meet\, and your thoughtful response is greatly appreciated. We’d like to see more events like this in the future\, but want to be inclusive of as many people’s time\, availability\, and interests as we can. We might alternate days future events are held\, try out different venues\, and even play with the format of the event itself.

SUMMARY:Try-It-Out: The Silt Verses: A God Must Feed
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a Try-It-Out of The Silt Verses RPG\, a tabletop roleplaying game of folk horror and monstrous divinity\, in which a group of indebted Custodians are sent into isolated territories to deal with stray gods and terrifying divine manifestations which threaten the nearby community. The Custodians investigate these entities and the manifestation of their powers\, and will then seek methods to appease them\, neutralize them\, or otherwise engage the local community to find a solution. The Custodians gradually become aware of a looming conspiracy that overshadows their work\, as a powerful organization seeks to take advantage of them to fulfill its secret agenda. The Custodians will ultimately decide how to confront this organization\, all the while struggling with their complicated relationship to faith and the gods of their past whose power threatens to consume them. \nThe Silt Verses RPG is based on the horror/weird-fiction podcast of the same name. The entire podcast is wonderful and worth listening to\, but in particular\, episode 3 and episode 7 are excellent\, stand-alone episodes that demonstrate both the world and the kinds of activities the Custodians might engage in. The game’s mechanics are based on Apocalypse World and Brindlewood Bay\, but you don’t need to know anything about those two games before we play. The Silt Verses RPG is a deeply collaborative game\, and players will often be asked for direct input into the fiction\, even outside of the sphere of their own characters. \nAim\nThe aim of the characters in the story is to pursue investigations surrounding these stray gods and powers\, and come to terms with their complicated past with a particular god\, deciding if they will continue on that path and be further changed by the power that god provides. Our aim as players is the same\, but also to learn more about these characters’ fraught pasts and uncertain futures\, as well as to paint a vivid picture of our version of the Silt Verses setting\, a responsibility we all share. The aims for today’s session are to create and introduce our characters\, learn the basics of how the game works by playing it\, and then have a debrief period at the end. \nTone\nThe tone of The Silt Verses RPG is dark\, strange\, and unsettling. It presents a world where monstrous horrors are viewed as miraculous and divine\, and systemic cruelties as routinely accepted by society. It exaggerates difficult themes of our world by showing them as literal gods\, and this can verge on the absurd—but this is not intended to become a parody. A little bit of levity or humor from time to time is ok\, but we will always strive to return to that dark\, gloomy landscape the characters exist in. \nSubject Matter\nCosmic horror\, graphic violence\, ritual sacrifice\, intense body horror\, grotesque religious imagery\, cults\, religious trauma\, harm to children and animals\, family trauma\, government corruption and oppression\, police violence\, war\, and natural disasters are all things that may come up frequently in this game. We will use a number of safety tools to help manage these potentially difficult topics including: the X-card\, Lines & Veils\, and the Open Door Policy. Although many of these topics are part of what this game is designed to explore\, we can choose to omit them during our game. No game is more important than its players. That said\, it’s possible this isn’t a game you’d enjoy playing and that’s okay!

The aims for today’s session are to create and introduce our characters\, learn the basics of how the game works by playing it\, and then have a debrief period at the end. \nTone\nThe tone of The Silt Verses RPG is dark\, strange\, and unsettling. It presents a world where monstrous horrors are viewed as miraculous and divine\, and systemic cruelties as routinely accepted by society. It exaggerates difficult themes of our world by showing them as literal gods\, and this can verge on the absurd—but this is not intended to become a parody. A little bit of levity or humor from time to time is ok\, but we will always strive to return to that dark\, gloomy landscape the characters exist in. \nSubject Matter\nCosmic horror\, graphic violence\, ritual sacrifice\, intense body horror\, grotesque religious imagery\, cults\, religious trauma\, harm to children and animals\, family trauma\, government corruption and oppression\, police violence\, war\, and natural disasters are all things that may come up frequently in this game. We will use a number of safety tools to help manage these potentially difficult topics including: the X-card\, Lines & Veils\, and the Open Door Policy. Although many of these topics are part of what this game is designed to explore\, we can choose to omit them during our game. No game is more important than its players. That said\, it’s possible this isn’t a game you’d enjoy playing and that’s okay!
