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.
