How It Works
This is a multi-table event. Multiple groups will be playing simultaneously, each in a different theater of the war. What happens at your table affects the others.
You'll choose a theater when you sign up. Each theater has different objectives and a different tone—pick the one that sounds most exciting to you.
The Theaters
Juno Beach — General Assault
Brutal beach landing. High action, high stakes.
Gold Beach — Siege Train
Protect critical siege engines under fire.
Watch Tower — Portals & Bridges
Behind enemy lines. Tense and tactical.
Contested Airspace — Sky Control
Aerial combat. Fast and cinematic.
Tone & Expectations
This is a war story. Expect combat, tension, and real consequences. Not everyone makes it home from the beach.
Your actions matter. If your table succeeds, other tables benefit. If you fail, the pressure increases everywhere. Play like the fate of Amn depends on you—because it does.
Come Ready To
- • Work with your party toward a common goal
- • Make bold decisions under pressure
- • Embrace both victory and setbacks as part of the story
- • Have fun storming the coast
