Play SHIFT RPG
Jul 13 - Jul 20, 2026
Play SHIFT RPG, a system built around dramatic successes and failures. No matter the results of a roll, the world around you changes in an exciting way. Ride spacecraft into ship-to-ship battles, fight corrupted dragons, or negotiate a high-stakes deal—SHIFT has rules for it all! SHIFT is a pick up-and-play game system that allows players and GMs to collaborate on stories in worlds of their own creation. SHIFT’s minimal ruleset allows players to create characters and start playing in minutes. SHIFT is powered by the same core building blocks: Traits (the abilities of characters, monsters, equipment, anything!) and their associated Shift Dice, making the game easy to learn. This special event hosted in partnership with Hit Point Press welcomes new players and SHIFT veterans alike! The game is beginner friendly and is easy to learn. Sessions run no longer than 3 hours, which can include character creation at your GM’s option.
