Wittenberg University 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!

One Shot
Shouvlin 205
Every Friday night we play a one-shot of a Role-Playing Game or other type of game, or after guild meetings party games.

More Information: Hellapagos

Hellapagos

Your group of survivors washed up on Hellapagos, a desert island where resources are very scarce. Your only way to escape is to work together and build a raft. But time is short as a hurricane is approaching rapidly! What will you do? You could fish for food and help the community survive. Should you venture in the jungle, brave snakes and gather wood to build the raft? Rain is finally falling today though, and is not going to collect itself. Or… you could swim to the wreckage's cargo, and hide your precious findings to yourself? As days go by, Hellapagos will get the best of your group and turn friends into enemies. Diplomacy, wit and skullduggery are all fair game if you are to survive on this unforgiving adventure.

More Information: We're Doomed!

The world is coming to an end.

You, the most powerful leaders in the world, have only fifteen minutes to build an escape rocket and leave this doomed planet. With limited time to build the rocket, it might not be big enough for everyone. You have to work together. However, in the end, only the most influential survive. Contribute resources to build the rocket, but gain influence to claim a seat... possibly one that someone else built

More Information: Ravine

Ravine

Ravine is a strategic and cooperative survival card game. You and your friends survived the plane crash, but will you survive the night? Work together to forage for food, craft a fire, and build shelters, but be wary: every step you take in the ravine could be one step closer to madness.

With the Spirits expansion

Trekking the National Parks (1e)
 

Trekking the National Parks brings the fun and challenge of modern family board games to your table. The game was specially designed to be both entertaining and educational. Every park card features an interesting fact and gorgeous photograph that will inspire players to explore the protected natural wonders of America. Each game also begins with a unique setup that alters the play experience in surprising ways, allowing for endless replayability. Trekking the National Parks is the perfect gift to anyone who loves the outdoors and board games.

(We will be playing the 1st edition of the game, which has some differences from the 2nd edition)

Root RPG
 

War has returned to the Woodland!

The Marquise de Cat led her armies to victory over many of the clearings, but the Eyrie Dynasties rise again to oppose her. Meanwhile, the mice, rabbits, and foxes of the Woodland do not sit idly by - the Woodland Alliance, a homegrown rebellion, has emerged, promising to free the Woodland from any oppressors.

In the midst of this war, you and your friends - vagabonds all - travel between the clearings, taking on jobs no one else can or will do. You choose whom you serve, if anyone... but everyone knows you may tip the balance of the War.

Star Wars: Privateers of Mandalore

Jakku! Why Does It Have To Be Jakku?!

You and your allies have been recruited by Baroness Lucretia Vizsla, Supreme Commander of The Mandalorian Army, to find, capture and seize any and all capital ships that cross your path. The good news is that if you capture 20 capital ships and bring them back to Mandalore, then you and your allies will have the opportunity to become full Mandalorians with all of the perks, rights and privileges of being true Mandalorians. The bad news is that if you fail you get nothing. Good luck!

An action, combat-oriented Star Wars game in which players will be able to select the character of their choice from a mix of pre-generated Human and Alien characters.
