Your friendly neighborhood TTRPG Meetup is Back! Saison Zero is a monthly tabletop role play game meetup dedicated to introducing folks to games other than just D&D. Light on rules, rich in flavor. This month we're holding open tables for two wonderful systems: Paris Gondo and At the Monarch’s Gate

Paris Gondo

A tongue-in-cheek tribute to encumbrance rules of old school dungeon crawlers, Paris Gondo is a GM-less storytelling game that needs no preparation. Because that is the game.

Players in this game embody Adventurers who, as a group called a Party, have reached the last level of a Dungeon and defeated the Boss who presided over it. Play starts as Adventurers discover the Loot you create. The objects you decide your Adventurer carries home makes up what you pack as their Final Inventory. You’d be surprised what might be best for the journey home.

At the Monarch’s Gate

At the Monarch’s Gate is single-session, GM-lite storytelling game that can be played in the space of a few hours. You and your companions, after an incredibly long journey, now stand at the gate to the Monarch’s throne room, seeking entrance and an audience. All that stands in your way is the Gate Guard, who extends their hand and demands that you leave your weapons at the door.

You will tell the histories of the weapons you carry as you surrender them, one by one, before entering the presence of a powerful ruler. Use a combination of dice and Tarot cards to build your reputation while revealing your true intentions—or keeping them hidden until the moment is right.

NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY. This is a beginner friendly event. Rulebooks and other resources will be available. We encourage you to bring dice if you have them and something to write with, but we’ll have extras! Questions? Reach out to @theRealRickolas on IG or email saisonzeronyc@gmail.com. The event is free, and open to all with an open mind and imagination!
