Are you a crimnal mastermind and also a bear looking to perform the heist of the century at HoneyCon 2026? What about a skeleton on a fantasy adventure, but bits and piece of you keep falling off and getting replaced by whatever you can find around you? Did Bigfoot steal your car with your friend's birthday present inside?
If any of these things are true (or if you wish they were), sign up for one of our new Grab-Bag TTRPG weeks! Each week, we'll play a variety of different RPG sessions with different themes, genres, and rules. Players will get chances to pick which stories they want to tell, and excercise more improv and creative freedom and fewer complicated rules and mechanics.
This year, we'll be primarily playing with games from Grant Howitt's Ten One-Page Roleplaying Games for Younger Players, but other games might come up in the rotation as well.

This year, we've reduced the price of some of our base registrations and moved the materials that you only need once to optional add-ons. Many players prefer to have these items, such as the Player's Handbook for Dungeons and Dragons, but we know that many in our community already have them.
If this is your first time attending our Summer Program or playing any of these games, you might find these items really useful. Plus, we've bundled them together at a discount from what you'd get them for individually in the store!
Cost: $60
Every week you attend, you'll be given a new dice set and a miniature to represent your character. That's all you need to play the game, but many players also enjoy a few more items as well.
