Gamesfest is a team effort to offer the best gaming experience with the widest variety of games possible. Five Tr-Cities organizations are taking part in Gamesfest and have their own events throughout the year:
Just Another Day Productions
Just Another Day Productions is responsible for the graphics and custom artwork used exclusively by Gamesfest.
Pathfinder Society
Pathfinder Society is a worldwide fantasy roleplaying campaign using the Pathfinder (second edition) ruleset. As you complete adventures, your character levels up, allowing you to take their treasure and experience to any table worldwide. You decide your character’s pace, playing as often as you want, without sticking to the strict schedule of other gaming groups. Further, as a living campaign, the story reacts to player choices, allowing your actions to influence future adventures. Pathfinder Society is a great way to jump right into Pathfinder and find your gaming group!
Tri-Cities Organized Play represents and runs Paizo organized play programs in the Tri-Cities region. We have been running free games open to the public since 2012 at local stores, conventions, and public libraries. We currently run games for the Pathfinder second edition and Starfinder systems. Come join us for Pathfinder Society in person at Gamesfest or on Saturdays at our local public libraries and Starfinder Society on Saturdays via Roll20. We offer longer 5-hour Pathfinder or Starfinder scenarios weekly, in addition to shorter adventures with Bounties, Quests, and One-Shots.
Northwest Historical Miniature Gaming Society
Northwest Historical Miniature Gaming Society is bringing tactical challenges to Gamesfest with games ranging from World War II tanks to STAR WARS: Pod Racing. Their focus is on recreating historical battles and a few sci-fi ones too. They are set to offer: American Civil War, Wings of Glory – WW I, Patton – WW II tank battles, Nimitz – WW II naval battles, Star Wars Pod Racing, and Brainz! – a zombie skirmish game.
Tri-City Wargaming Society (Big Brain Games)
Tri-City Wargaming Association (Big Brain Games) is a Tri-Cities gaming club. The group likes to provide opportunities to play a variety of games.
