While this is TTRPG-adjacent, it’s still a cool idea and more affordable than it might appear at first glance. If you’re a board game fan thinking about a vacation, this is a neat idea.

I am not involved in this project [*][B]WHY SPOTLIGHT THIS CAMPAIGN?[/B] What if vampires were bound to do good? What if they could only feed with consent? What if their powers had to be used to improve the world? Those concepts would turn a vampire story on its head, leading to monsters-as-heroes. There have been games of heroic vampires, but it was a choice, not a compulsion. In [B][I]May I Enter[/I][/B], Helen of Troy cast a spell and you’re bound to do the right thing because of it. Using a variant of the [B][I]Powered by the Apocalypse[/I][/B] engine, this game pits you against supernatural forces and vampires that managed to counter Helen’s curse even as you must maintain a social network of feeders and friends as you work to save the world. If you’re interested in entering, you’re invited to the [B]Kickstarter[/B] campaign page to learn more about actively consenting vampires.

You and your friends share rooms, games, and breakfast. The owners, Mike Belsole and Grace Kendall of the “[URL='https://www.originsawards.net/origins-award-winners']multi[/URL]-[URL='https://www.mensamindgames.com/about/mensa-recommended-games/']award[/URL]-[URL='https://www.polygon.com/23979940/best-board-games-2023']winning[/URL] riddle-solving party game [URL='https://www.runawayparade.com/smug-owls']Smug Owls[/URL] is published by the incredible two-person team of Gwen Ruelle and Sam Bryant at [URL='https://www.runawayparade.com/']Runaway Parade Games[/URL]”, will be their to cook you up a great meal and help you run board games (they have 600 games to choose from). If 8 fans did 4 days/3 nights, that’d be $206.25 a head. The 4-day pass for [B]Gen Con[/B] is $155 a person and you still need to pay for a place to stay. In fact, the total for the pair of [B]Tabletop Inn[/B] suites is nearly the same as the cost of my single hotel room for [B]Gen Con, [/B]no badge. While this is TTRPG-adjacent, it’s still a cool idea and more affordable than it might appear at first glance. If you’re a board game fan thinking about a vacation, this is a neat idea. If you’re a GM with a TTRPG bed and breakfast or a gamer that’s attended one, I’d love to hear about the experience.
