July 2026 - Playtest games at Geeky Teas!

**Players and game designers wanted for this open house style event! (NOTE: Due to an absolute deluge of events at Geeky Teas, there will be no FPLA June event at GT)** Please read the event schedule, and all members, new and old, should check out the Code of Conduct at the bottom of this text. **FEE:** $8 to play at Geeky Teas - payable at the event to Geeky Teas at front desk. Once paid, you're covered to play games ALL DAY. **DESIGNER SIGN UP**: If you have a game to test during session one or two we have a new sign up protocol: **Fill out the form here- [First Play Designer Signup](https://gorgeous-mule-37d.notion.site/1c9a3d4ed35b8034b34ced27ef3d1c40)** Please read the descriptions of each time to determine if your game is appropriate for a scheduled session. *Note: new members must come to First Play as a playtester at least once before having the opportunity to run a game. If this is your first time showing your game at FPLA, please introduce yourself to either Damon or Cassandra (one or both will be near the front of the room) before your session for a quick explainer on how to get your game to the table and what to expect from playtesting.* **SCHEDULE:** Game days have 3 segments. **You do not need to come for the whole day!** However, it is good etiquette if you are testing your own game to stay and test at least one other designer's game as well. 11:00am - 1:00 pm **OPEN PLAY TESTING** This is unstructured play time, ideal for short games (45min or less), 2 player games, and games that require a quieter environment. If you're a designer, grab an available table and let people know you are looking for players. If you're a player, just sit down at a game and play! **SESSION ONE** 1:15pm - 3:15pm **SESSION TWO** 3:30pm - 5:30pm Scheduled sessions are the core of First Play! This event we have three scheduled sessions, with about 4-6 games running during each time slot. Following moderator announcements, each designer running a game will have the opportunity to do an 'elevator pitch' to players. After which, players decide which game they want to play. Two hour sessions are ideal for games that are 60-90 minutes, and have been playtested multiple times before. After play, be sure to leave time to give and receive feedback. Oh, and sometimes we give away prizes! 5:30-6:30pm **DINNER BREAK** 6:30-10pm **THE SKUNKWORKS** This is unstructured time to test your wildest ideas. Bring the game that may break in 5 minutes, the one that requires 10 people, or the one that may involve crawling on the ground. Bring objects that *could* be games, half baked ideas, and untested print and plays. Take risks, be silly, and most importantly, have fun! **SPECIAL NOTES**: No outside food is permitted but there are snacks/drinks sold at Geeky Teas. Also, FYI - There are cats at the store, roaming but keep to themselves. Please read these guides, especially if you are new to design or playtesting- **[How to do better playtesting!](https://gorgeous-mule-37d.notion.site/How-to-do-better-playtesting-1c9a3d4ed35b807b9f6ff643b5635885)** **[How to explain rules for your confusing game prototype!](https://gorgeous-mule-37d.notion.site/How-to-explain-rules-for-your-confusing-game-prototype-1d3a3d4ed35b80c683e7e4f6953e8545)** **Code of Conduct Rules** 1. Be kind. 2. Seriously, be even more kind than you think you need to be. 3. Read the guidelines for giving and receiving feedback. 4. Respect the rules of our venues (Geeky Teas, Paper Heroes, Odyssey, etc). We will continue to be welcome as long as we continue to be good guests. 5. New members must come to First Play as a playtester at least once before having the opportunity to run a game. 6. If you have RSVP'd to run a game, show up for your time slot. If you do not show up for your time slot, you will get a strike against you. Two strikes and moderators will discuss next steps with you about if you will be allowed to continue running games. 7. Be respectful of other community members- give as much as you receive. Playtest other peoples' games, not just your own. 8. In the case of an unresolvable or continuing conflict, please let a moderator know so we can determine next steps. 9. You will receive a warning if a legitimate complaint is lodged against you. In the case of a continuous issue, a group of at least 3 moderators will discuss and determine next steps. Consistent bad behavior will lead to a group ban. **See you soon!** **Have questions?** For FAQ's, please see here - [First Play FAQ’s](https://gorgeous-mule-37d.notion.site/First-Play-FAQ-s-1d5a3d4ed35b809eadb7c5c72359521b) For a specific question please email *cassandra@ixiongameworks.com* For community conversations join the Cardboard Alchemy Discord: [https://discord.gg/2pYk3TT](https://discord.gg/2pYk3TT) \- find the \#first\-play\-la\-chat channel\!

🎲 Games & Thrones 🏰 Thursdays 👑

🌙 INVITATION TO MOONLIGHT ACADEMY 🌙 Dungeons & Dragons Campaign Who: Beginners and veteran players are equally welcome. The doors to the academy are opening—both in Hollywood and in the Forgotten Realms. You are formally invited to cross the threshold into a living story of survival, ancient magic, and cosmic defiance. 📖 The Legend So Far (Our Story Synopsis) Deep within the untamed Whispering Woods stands Moonlight Academy, a monolithic, forgotten fortress of ancient celestial magic. For centuries it lay in ruins, choked by briars and feared by the outside world. Today, two desperate fugitives have sought refuge within its hollow halls, bound by shared isolation: Vhaenyra Aelarys: A Drow (Dark Elf) Druid who fled the lethal, cutthroat politics of the Underdark. She has claimed the ruins as a sanctuary, using her nature magic to gently heal the stone and restore the academy to its former glory—a promised haven for outcasts. Leucis Therai: A queer Tiefling Cleric who narrowly escaped a horrific ritual sacrifice by his former coven. Betrayed by his lover, his desperate prayers at the castle gates awakened a dormant, divine moon deity within the ruins, transforming him into a vessel of radiant starlight. The world outside is closing in. Insular, paranoid local villagers view the Academy as a den of monsters and are preparing for war. Fraudulent local psychics are stirring up anti-magic panic. Meanwhile, lethal assassins from the Underdark and vengeful witches from the coven are tracking the duo’s magical signatures. Will Moonlight Academy rise to become a permanent stronghold for the marginalized, or will it be burned to the ground by fear and vengeance? That is up to you. 🔮 Choose Your Path: How You Can Join the Circle As a recurring campaign, players can drop in and out as their schedules allow. Moonlight Academy is actively looking for allies, refugees, and travelers to help fortify its walls. When creating a character, you can choose from three main thematic paths: 1. The Academy Refuges & Outcasts Like Vhaenyra and Leucis, your character is someone traditionally feared, misunderstood, or hunted by common society. You have fled your past and found safety behind the academy’s walls.Recommended Classes: Sorcerers, Warlock (seeking a break from a bad patron), Rogue, or Bard.Recommended Races: Tiefling, Drow, Orc, Changeling, or any lineage seeking a safe haven. 2. The Guardians of the Wild You are a local protector of the Whispering Woods, a rogue element from the nearby settlements, or a member of a local, secret coven. You see through the paranoia of the villagers and have chosen to ally with Vhaenyra to restore the natural balance and protection of the Academy. Recommended Classes: Druid, Ranger, Nature/Twilight Cleric, or Barbarian. Recommended Races: Wood Elf, Firbolg, Halfling, or Human. 3. The Redeemed & Detached Perhaps you were originally sent to spy on the academy, or you were an acolyte from Leucis's old coven who realized the leadership went too far. You have turned your back on your former masters to help defend the ruins from within. Recommended Classes: Fighter, Paladin (Oath of Devotion or Ancients), or Monk. Recommended Races: Any race aligned with a complicated backstory of redemption. ✨ How to Secure Your Seat at the Table Spaces at the gaming table are limited each week to ensure everyone gets a chance to shine. Character Creation: Start at Level 1. Use standard rules (5th Edition). If you need help building your character, arrive 30 minutes early and our Dungeon Master will help you weave your backstory directly into the fabric of Moonlight Academy. RSVP: Speak with the staff at the front counter, or reserve your spot for this week’s session. Bring your dice, your magic, and your resolve. Let’s build a sanctuary together. — 🎲 A witchcraft store hosting weekly tabletop board game nights alongside *Game of Thrones* screenings would look like a **deeply atmospheric, community-centric sensory experience** that seamlessly blends dark fantasy pop culture with real-world occult practices. Instead of a brightly lit, sterile game shop, the space would feel like a cozy, secretive tavern or an ancient castle solar. The Aesthetic and Spatial Layout The store must carefully balance retail space with active gathering areas, using lighting and layout to create distinct "zones." * **The Hearth & Screen:** A dedicated viewing lounge with a projector casting onto a blank wall or a tapestry frame. Seating consists of plush velvet couches, floor cushions, and faux-fur throws to mimic the Great Hall of Winterfell. * **The Gaming Tables:** Massive, dark wood tables illuminated by dim, warm overhead lighting or battery-operated amber candles so players can read card text without ruining the moody ambiance. * **The Retail Borders:** The perimeter remains a fully functioning shop. Bookcases filled with grimoires, herb jars, and crystals act as the literal backdrop for the games. Weekly Timeline & Event Schedule To maximize retail sales and keep the evening structured, the night should run on a tight, repeatable schedule. [ 5:30 PM ] Doors Open & Pre-Show Social (Tarot pulls, shopping discounts) [ 6:00 PM ] Game of Thrones: Episode 1 [ 7:00 PM ] Intermission & Thematic Ritual (Brief candle lighting or tea service) [ 7:15 PM ] Game of Thrones: Episode 2 [ 8:15 PM ] Tabletop Gaming Open Play Begins [ 10:30 PM] Event Wrap-up & Closing Thematic Integration: Blending Magic with Westeros To make this unique to a *witchcraft* store rather than a standard comic shop, the event should explicitly tie the show's lore to real-world esoteric practices. * **"House Allegiance" Tarot Readings:** Before the episodes start, a staff reader could offer quick, three-card pulls based on Westerosi houses (e.g., House Stark for survival/ancestors, House Targaryen for ambition/rebirth). * **Themed Ritual Intermissions:** During the 15-minute gap between episodes, the host could light a specific incense or a "Melisandre-inspired" flame ritual to clear the room's energy before the next story arc. * **The Potions Bar:** Serving specific loose-leaf tea blends or botanical mocktails during the screenings, such as a lavender-chamomile "Milk of the Poppy" for relaxation or a spicy ginger-hibiscus "Fire and Blood" brew. The Tabletop Game Selection The board games available after the show should mirror the themes of political intrigue, dark fantasy, prophecy, and witchcraft. * **Thematic Strategy Games:** Title selections like *Dune: Imperium*, *Oath*, or the official *Game of Thrones: The Board Game* for players who love intense faction betrayal and resource management. * **Occult & Modern Witchcraft Games:** Games like *Middara*, *Arkham Horror*, *Betrayal at House on the Hill*, or *The Grimm Forest* to lean heavily into monsters, spells, and gothic folklore. * **Social Deduction Games:** Faster, high-energy hidden-role games like *Blood on the Clocktower* or *Werewolves* (re-skinned to fit fantasy houses) that keep the entire room laughing and arguing together. Operational and Legal Considerations Running a public event involving copyrighted media and community gaming requires a few practical guidelines. * **Copyright and Licensing:** Showing *Game of Thrones* publicly for commercial gain can violate HBO's terms. To stay compliant, the store should frame the evening as a **free community club night** where no ticket is required to watch, while generating revenue through retail sales, game rentals, or the potions/tea bar. * **Aroma and Sensory Control:** Because board gamers need to concentrate and watch a screen, the store should swap out heavy, smoke-producing charcoal incense for subtle reed diffusers or wax melters so attendees don't leave with watery eyes. * **Noise Management:** Screenings require silence, while board games generate loud cheering and laughing. Keeping the schedule strictly divided (Screenings *then* Games) ensures the two activities never fight for acoustic dominance.
