  • Featured Game: Mind’s Eye Theatre LARP

    Featured Game: Mind’s Eye Theatre LARP

    There’s roll-playing (you know, where the dice run the story) and then there’s role-playing. The ultimate in role-playing is the Live Action kind. The kind you’ll find with Omaha Underworld: Wild West.

    Omaha Underworld is a local troupe looking to share this amazing hobby. No boffer swords here, this is a theatre LARP. No experience or dice necessary. Setting is The Old West, Omaha is a Boomtown and the supernatural werewolves and vampires of Omaha are meeting to parley. Costumes highly encouraged. There will be instruction provided and you can email the storyteller at spanishtoreador@gmail.com.

    Featured Game: The Pathfinder and Starfinder Societies

    Who are the Pathfinders? We are explorers and adventurers. Heroes and scoundrels. Wizards and Champions. Pathfinder Society is the organized play system for Paizo’s Pathfinder epic fantasy role-playing game and is now in its 16th year.  

    Who are the Starfinders? We are explorers and adventurers. Techomancers and Soldiers. Protector of the Pack Worlds. Starfinder Society is the organized play system for Paizo’s Starfinder epic science-fantasy role-playing game and is now in its 7th year. Paizo is developing a second edition of Starfinder to more closely align with Pathfinder 2e. We will be offering a number of Playtest adventures for players to try out the new system.

    New players are always welcome. We typically play scenarios that last 2-5 hours. Your characters are portable to any Pathfinder or Starfinder Society event across the globe.
