Role-Playing Guild

The Wittenberg Role-Playing Guild provides a community for those interested in games on campus ranging from board games and role-playing games to miniatures and collectible card games, and even sometimes online games.

• During the academic year we generally;
• On Friday Nights we run Role-Playing One-shots of a wide variety of Game Systems and genres
• On Saturday Nights we run Board Games from our wide collection of board games, as well as card games and even the occasional miniatures game
• Once a month we hold a General Open Guild Meeting, usually the first Friday of the month
• We also do group trips to local area gaming stores so we can check out what is new and maybe pick up a few things as well
• Of course in March we hold our own Convention, WittCON!

More Information: Tesseract

The Tesseract appeared in our skies six days ago.Together, our world’s best minds must find a way to contain and control the reactions of this extra-dimensional avatar, or its exponentially increasing destructive power will tear a hole in space-time and remove our world from existence.

The game features a cube of 64 dice, sitting on a rotating platform to examine all angles. Players will use three actions to manipulate the cubes; removing them from the Tesseract, adjusting their values, transferring them between labs and isolating them into the Containment matrix.

Allow too many breaches or remove the last cube from the Tesseract, and the game is lost. Fill the matrix with 24 cubes, one of each colored value, and you save our world.

• Number of Players: 1-4 co-operative
