What we’re about
We're gamer-types interested in playing games, being social, making friends, and meeting new people. We love all types of games, especially role-playing, but also board, card, miniature, or whatever. We also love all gaming adjacent stuff too, such as anime, cosplay, game design, world building, video games, and more.
- We believe in getting games off your shelf and onto the table.
- Mission statement: Play everything at least once.
- Our unofficial motto: "Yeah, we'll play that!"
- We exist to help players find games and GMs find players.
- We welcome new players and new GMs to the greater Cincinnati area.
- We liaison with other organizations, podcasts, cons, game stores, and more.
- We encourage all everyone to game, especially underrepresented demographics such as women, LGBTQIA+ people, and BIPOC (biracial, indigenous, people of color).

See all- Call of Cthulhu 7e RPG - The Ties That Bind One-ShotMatts Card Shop, Blue Ash, OH
Mrs. Enid Carrington is in an absolute tither over the destruction of her newly acquired and imported Italian marble statue. With connection to her husband's fortune and coming from old money, she has no qualms about throwing whatever amount of cash is needed at any given problem in the pursuit of solving it as quickly, and efficiently as possible. In this moment you happen to fit the profile of one of the many varied professionals that she is interested in contracting for the investigation and resolution of her "problem." You know she is an absolute pain to work with but with an advance this good....you are in no position to say no.
In Call of Cthulhu, you play as an investigator of a strange occurrence such as a weird event, murder, missing person, or discovery of an artifact. Investigators are exposed to sanity-breaking monsters, events, and rituals. They must stop the perpetrators or go insane trying. Unlike other roleplaying games, this is not a game of heroes. Your characters are normal people in the 1920s. They have real jobs, often in academia, journalism, or as an author. The most important aspect of your character is that you are frail in body and mind. Both of those are tested as you discover clues, uncover danger, and learn reality-altering truths...
This one-shot is designed for beginners and experienced investigators, so no experience needed. Pre-generated characters provided, plus paper, pencil, dice if needed.
