- Browse the individual game listings — added as GMs submit their sessions.
- Sign up for the game you want. That's the signup that matters.
- Show up ready to play.
If a game is full, join the waitlist and still show up. No-shows happen, and spots open more than you'd think.

Brindlewood Bay / Pick Your Own Mystery! / Monroeville RPG Day
Guy on the Couch, 4053 William Penn Hwy,, Monroeville, PA, USBrindlewood Bay has a problem. For a quaint New England vacation town, the murder rate is — frankly — extraordinary. The police are doing their best. Their best is not enough.
That's where the Murder Mavens Mystery Book Club comes in. You play a group of sharp, resourceful women of a certain age who have decided that if anything is going to get solved around here, they're going to have to do it themselves.
Brindlewood Bay is a collaborative mystery RPG where the whodunit isn't solved in advance — not even by the GM. The answer emerges from play, built out of clues, suspicions, and the very specific tropes of 1980s mystery television. Think "Murder, She Wrote." Think "Golden Girls." Think: what would actually happen if those women investigated the crime themselves?
- Collaborative mystery structure: the solution builds at the table
- Roleplay-heavy, social-first, low mechanical overhead
- 1980s television as genre touchstone
- No prior experience with the system — or the genre — needed
No prep required. Characters are created as part of the session.

Pathfinder 2E / Escorting a Mirage/ Monroeville RPG Game Day
Guy on the Couch, 4053 William Penn Hwy,, Monroeville, PA, USA disgraced Aspis Agent, stuck watching a fading operation in Thuvia, sees a chance to settle old scores.
Escorting a Mirage is a Pathfinder Society Quest for characters level 1–4, built to run in a tight 2–3 hour session. When a mysterious buyer's errand in Merab gets twisted into rumors of the fabled sun orchid elixir, the city's opportunists come out of the woodwork — and a routine cargo run turns into a fight to get out alive.
You're hired for a straightforward job: move the goods, keep the buyer safe. Merab has other plans.
- Escort mission that turns into a street-level fight
- Rumor and misdirection driving the real threat
- Fast-paced PFS Quest format — done in 2–3 hours
- Levels 1–4, repeatable for Pathfinder Society characters
The cargo's not worth dying over. Try telling that to the mob chasing it.
New to Pathfinder Society? Sign up on the warhorn. Pre-generated characters are available, and the table will walk you through everything you need.Prefer your adventures without the escort-mission twist? Check out other events happening for RPG Game Day.

Beak, Feather, and Bone / Rookhaven / Monroeville RPG Game Day
Guy on the Couch, 4053 William Penn Hwy,, Monroeville, PA, USWho really runs the City of Ravens? Right now, no one does. That's exactly the problem every faction at this table is trying to solve.
Rookhaven: The City of Ravens is a GM-less city-building game played with the Beak, Feather, & Bone system. Instead of playing a single character, you'll represent a faction of Ravenfolk staking a claim in a city that doesn't exist yet — one your table builds together, round by round.
As play unfolds, you'll claim buildings for your faction and decide what they mean: a safehouse, a shrine, a place where old debts get settled. Every claim adds another layer of politics, history, and rivalry to the city taking shape around you. Games like this have a way of outliving the session — this exact format has spun off entire follow-up campaigns with the same group.
Collaborative worldbuilding, faction-based play — no character sheets, no combat, no traditional roleplay required.
The city will remember what you build here.No experience needed. You won't need a character or a performance — just opinions about power, secrets, and who deserves to hold either.
Looking for combat, character sheets, or straightforward roleplay instead? Check out other events happening for RPG Game Day.
