    The Curse of Strahd

    You and your party were on their way to make a simple delivery when a great mist whisked you away to the far-off land of Barovia. Now, lost and in a strange world, you must find a way home. As you look up, lightning strikes, and you find yourself standing in front of a massive, towering structure. Castle Ravenloft.

  • Call of the Netherdeep

    The Dragon Queen has returned to the world of Krynn with her armies of draconians. As they seek to conquer the unprepared nation of Solamnia, only you and the defenders of the city of Kalaman stand in their way. But the Queen wants more than to crush her foes, as an ancient evil in her service seeks a magical weapon that could dominate Krynn forever.

  • Decent in Avernus

    Welcome to Baldur's Gate, a city of ambition and corruption. Adventure in a plot that sprawls from the shadows of Baldur's Gate to the front lines of the Blood War! Do you have what it takes to turn infernal war machines and nefarious contracts against the archdevil Zariel and her diabolical hordes? And can you ever hope to find your way home safely when pitted against such infinite evils?

  • The Black Ballad

    So you and your party have died. Now what? The Black Balled is a 5th Edition adventure that answers this question! You wake up with a gasp and take in a dark, strange world around you. You look on at the horizon, and you see a weird castle city that seems familiar yet foreign…

  • *NEW* Vecna - Even of Ruin

    The notorious lich Vecna is weaving a ritual to eliminate good, obliterate the gods, and subjugate all worlds. To stop Vecna before he remakes the universe, the heroes work with three of the multiverse’s most famous archmages, travel to far-flung locales, and rebuild the legendary Rod of Seven Parts.

  • Storm King's Thunder

    Giants have emerged to threaten civilization as never before. The onslaught of these enormous enemies will crush the humans, dwarves, elves, and other small people of the Sword Coast. In Storm King’s Thunder, your only chance is to harness the power of rune magic, the giants’ weapon, against their enemy, the dragons.

  • Spelljammer

    With the help of magic, spelljammers can cross the oceans of Wildspace, ply the silvery void known as the Astral Sea, and hop between worlds of the D&D multiverse. Spelljammer has starships, rebellious princesses, evil galactic emperors, and everything else you’d expect from a 70’s pulp novel.

  • Planescape

    Planescape is a whole range of worlds. The larger cosmology is known as “The Great Wheel.” The setting of Sigil (the “City of Doors”) is a torus-shaped metropolis in the center of the planes. A kind of interdimensional gathering place, Sigil is filled with countless portals leading to other planes, with warring factions, unique monsters, and powerful NPCs.

  • Icewind Dale

    The mad wizards of the Arcane Brotherhood long to possess that which the god of winter's wrath has so coldly preserved--as do you! What fantastic secrets are entombed in the sunless heart of the glacier, and what will their discovery mean for the denizens of Icewind Dale?

  • Dragon Thrones

    Dragon Thrones is our original RPG universe where you will be an epic hero of one of 10 kingdoms ruled by a Dragon Throne, crafted out of the carcass of a mighty Elder Dragon long ago. The realm of Kambria mixes the high magic of LotR with the politics of GoT, and the cutthroat competition of Hunger Games and Dune to create a unique dystopian medieval fantasy realm of adventure!

WHAT IS AN ACCELERATED CAMPAIGN?

“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, Summer 2023

Finally, you’ll finish a campaign in under three years! Many groups struggle to meet weekly, monthly, or whatever the schedule is. Life happens, and we get that. At Tabletop RPG in a Castle, we want you to play for the entire weekend, and by the end of the weekend, you'll have finished the entire campaign with its beginning, middle, and end! Start with a new character and end with a complete story. That’s what we do… so you’ll have an epic tale to discuss for years to come!

Our curated game groups and campaign stories are Accelerated to get you to the action and make sure you hit all of the “Big Epic Roleplay Moments” and the “Big Boss Battles” at RPG in a Castle; you’re the “Big Damn Heroes,” and the world needs your help! Each session throughout the weekend will take you to big mile markers in the story: starting on Friday Morning and ending on Sunday, you’ll enjoy playing through our curated guided campaign adventures with the fulfillment that you did everything meaningful in the game.

TestimoniaL

Escaping for the weekend with my friends was an absolute delight. The chance to unwind, engage in gripping rounds of Dungeons and Dragons, and reconnect with everyone was simply rejuvenating. As the dice rolled and our characters embarked on thrilling quests, laughter and stories flowed effortlessly, creating an atmosphere of camaraderie that was truly special. Our Dungeon Master, a masterful storyteller, adeptly guided the game, infusing it with an extra layer of excitement and authenticity that enhanced the entire experience. Playing DND in a relaxing setting allowed us to dive into a world of fantasy and strategy while catching up on each other's lives. The shared moments of victory and the occasional setbacks were met with cheers and good-natured groans, creating a dynamic and engaging ambiance. These hours of immersive gameplay served as a perfect backdrop for rekindling connections and making lasting memories. In the hands of our skilled DM, the game came alive in ways that enriched our bonds and made the weekend truly unforgettable.

The Hotel

Holiday Inn Express & Suites: Fort Washington - Philadelphia, PA LINK

432 Pennsylvania Avenue, Fort Washington, PA 19034

We have enjoyed an excellent relationship with this hotel over the past seven years. It’s close to historic venues, and the staff has consistently provided quality accommodations and service, with complimentary breakfast each morning. The hotel is a relaxed 12-mile drive to the game venue. As with all of our events, ride shares will be plentiful for players without vehicles.

The majestic historic district of Bryn Athyn has been home to many of our live-action events. Your Tabletop RPG in a Castle journey will be in Glencairn Museum, a towering gothic masterpiece 35 minutes north of the Philadelphia Int’l Airport.

Travel is Easy!

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, Winter 2024

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, Winter 2024

It had some of the most fun D&D moments I have ever experienced.
