What Players Say!
“TTRPG in a Castle is a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience—one that you’ll find yourself wanting to relive again and again. Every detail is thoughtfully crafted to deliver a professional, personalized adventure unlike anything else. No two experiences are ever the same, making each visit uniquely memorable. It’s worth every penny and then some.”
- Robert“If you are a veteran of tabletop RPGs or just starting out, you will be amazed at how much fun you will have. The DM's are all amazing, the staff is incredible, and the thrills are endless! By the time you sit down, you have made new friends and are in for the adventure of a lifetime!”
- Adam“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“This event is absolutely worth the time and money. The Dungeon Master was excellent, and the event is well organized with food and other amenities so you can focus on playing the game. I played in a Saltmarsh D&D campaign and had a blast with an excellent DM in an interesting setting.”
- Chris“The best thing about the event is the friendliness of the staff and other players and the site itself. Participated in two events so far; the road is long from here in Canada, but it is so worth it! If you can manage to book a table in a 'private' room, it's even better to let yourself and your group loose to have more fun, like we did up there in the tower.”
- Kevin“Thank you for putting these events together. I can't express how meaningful they are to me. It's so much more than playing a game. It's an opportunity to make new friends and meet up with old ones. This was my third event, and each of them has been such an amazing experience. You and your team do a great job hosting. Thank you! Keep up the great work!“

Many Adventures to Choose From
One Epic Table All Weekend Long!
The Castle & Palace
“It is an amazing venue. Big enough that you get to meet people from all over (my gaming table had people from 7 different states), but small enough that you don't get lost or feel overwhelmed.“
- Michael
“The setting was truly inspiring for the gameplay. Our GM was amazing, engaging, and uplifting. It may have been our group, but I can certainly see playing with all our party members in the future!”
- Scott
Glencairn — The Castle
Glencairn is the real thing: a stone castle-estate of great halls, medieval arches, stained glass, and genuine artifacts along the walls. Roll for initiative beneath a vaulted ceiling and the fantasy stops feeling like fantasy. This is the setting your campaigns have always imagined and never had.
Cairnwood — The Palace
Where Glencairn is stone and steel, Cairnwood is candlelight and gold. A Gilded Age mansion of opulent rooms and sweeping staircases, lit low against the evening — the perfect stage for courtly intrigue, whispered alliances, and a story told in high style. You don't visit a place like this. For one weekend, you live in it.
