2011 Raleigh
Game Master's Fair
April 30th, 2011
6911 Capital Boulevard
Raleigh, NC 27615
Need to find a Game Master? Need to find players? Come to the First Annual Game Master's Fair, hosted by the Raleigh Tabletop Roleplaying Association at Red Sun Academy on Capital Boulevard!
The purpose of the GM Fair is to showcase local game masters and game groups who are looking for new players, as well as give novices who are interested in RPGs a chance to try out several different settings and game systems. On April 30th, the RTR Game Masters will "show their wares" as they host one-off games and talk to interested players.
Plenty of slots remain open for games and discussion groups, so if you see a game session or workshop you'd like to join, click here to email Eric Townsend, our head event organizer, and get on the list for a game!
