A table-top role play adventure

RPGilmont

Overview

Adults Only

Join us for Gilmont’s role playing retreat! Over this adults-only weekend, you will get the chance to play in up to 3 different one-shot role playing game (RPG) sessions, as well as enjoy some classic camp activities, devour loads of snacks and drinks, and even roast some s’mores around the campfire.
This weekend is great for experienced roleplayers and first timers. Each one-shot session will have multiple games to choose from. There will always be at least one session featuring the Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition ruleset and one game featuring a different RPG system.
If you have any questions about the event please contact John Swindle at [email protected], and please put “RPGilmont” in the subject line.

More information

The retreat begins Friday, February 6 with check in from 5:00-6:30pm. Dinner will NOT be served, so you are welcome to bring food for dinner or eat prior to arrival. The intro session begins at 7:00pm and is followed by s’mores around the campfire.

Two tabletop RPGs are on Saturday, with a break for free time. Free time activities include hiking, disc golf, archery, axe throwing, napping in a hammock, and s’mores.

The retreat concludes on Sunday, February 8 following the third session and lunch.

Different game sessions and systems are offered each year according to the discretion of the game masters. The following describes some of the session options and game systems from the 2025 retreat. 

To Wake the Leviathan - d&d 5E

Across the infinite layers of the Lower Planes, a band of heroes desperately hunts for the whereabouts of an ancient weapon – one that could very well turn the tide of the eternal Blood War.

Deadpool Roleplays the Marvel Universe - Marvel 616

Play as Deadpool and his team (or your own unique character!) in a fourth-wall breaking adventure right out of the comics!

A Penny for my thoughts - a penny for my thoughts

A group of amnesia patients are gathered in an experiment where they help each other recover their memories. In this storytelling experience, there are no dice or states, but each player helps the others rediscover their own stories. Our stories can be as mundane or as off the wall as out imaginations let us.

A Dinner Party - D&D 5e

Famous former adventurer, Erdan Rhonn, invites you to his manor for a dinner party. Erdan has turned into a recluse of late. Why could he possibly be having a dinner party and why were you invited?

Muppet's Wizard of Odd - D&D 5e

Kermit, Piggie, and Fozzie Bear, oh my! The Muppets (and one human celebrity) are at it again in a grand retelling of the American classic – the Wizard of Oz. But as the cameras are about to start rolling, disaster strikes; the Muppets are left to improvise their way through this adventure, relying only on their talent and wit. They all have a feeling they aren’t in LA anymore. Will the old gang have enough brains, brawn, and heart to return home with their little dog, Rowlf, too? Or will home just be a distant memory somewhere over the rainbow?

Princess Power! In the kingdom of knowledge - Perils & Princesses

You’re a princess! And a pretty powerful princess at that. Your coalition of envoys from the Empire of Wunzaponatym are on a journey to the Kingdom of Wisdom to investigate a worrisome end to their regular correspondence across the sea.
