2PM to 5PM ~ Masks TNG “Emerald City Legacy”
Emerald City’s newest heroes are about to discover that the hardest part of being a hero isn’t defeating a villain, it’s deciding who you want to become. When an ancient force awakens beneath the city, six young heroes are confronted by the legacies of those who came before them, and they’ll have to prove that the future of Oz belongs to them.
Masks: A New Generation is a superhero tabletop roleplaying game about young heroes discovering who they are while trying to live up to, rebel against, or escape the expectations of others. Players portray teenage superheroes whose relationships, emotions, and identities matter just as much as their powers, making it a perfect fit for a story about the next generation of heroes in Emerald City.

10AM to 1PM ~ D&D “Malkazar’s Marvelous Mechanical Menagerie”
Come one, come all to Malkazar’s Marvelous Mechanical Menagerie, the most astonishing carnival ever to roll into Oz! Test your strength, race clockwork wonders, ride beasts that argue back, seek your fortune, and marvel at performers of brass, spring, and enchantment. But beneath the music and laughter, something is beginning to wind itself tighter. When the carnival’s cheerful clockwork performers suddenly stop at the sound of a familiar melody, the question becomes impossible to ignore: who, exactly, is running the show?
Malkazar’s Marvelous Mechanical Menagerie is a Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition adventure designed as a short, self-contained adventure for a single session. It is intended to be played using the 5e Oz sourcebook, Oz: A Fantasy Roleplaying Game, which provides the rules, creatures, character options, and setting material for adventures in the Land of Oz. The adventure draws inspiration from L. Frank Baum’s original Oz stories while telling a new story set within that familiar world, inviting the characters to explore a spectacular traveling carnival filled with sentient clockwork performers, bizarre attractions, and seemingly harmless mechanical wonders.
11AM to 2PM ~ Leviathans
Leviathans simulates combat between warships that have taken to the air in an alternate history 1910. The king leviathans, the battleships, are the largest vessels.

10AM to 1PM ~ D&D “Dungeons of Drakkenheim”
10AM to 1PM ~ D&D “Dragon of a Thousand Folds”
Something strange is happening along the Yellow Brick Road. When Princess Ozma calls upon a group of adventurers, their assignment seems simple enough: travel south and investigate a disturbance that has sent ripples through the countryside. But the road to the China Country is rarely a simple one. Along the way, the heroes will encounter enchanted dangers, unusual travelers, and creatures that may know more than they are willing to say. Somewhere beyond the road lies the tiny China country, where something enormous has arrived, and the heroes will have to decide whether the answer is to fight it, flee from it, or understand it.
Using This Adventure: Dragon of a Thousand Folds is a Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition adventure designed as a short, self-contained adventure for a single session. It is intended to be played using the 5e Oz sourcebook, Oz: A Fantasy Roleplaying Game, which provides the rules, creatures, character options, and setting material for adventures in the Land of Oz. The adventure draws inspiration from L. Frank Baum’s original Oz stories, particularly The Patchwork Girl of Oz, while telling a new story set within that familiar world.
