Five Playable Factions

For 2025, we're introducing five new playable factions, adding a competitive element to the game. Will your faction rise above the rest?

Five Playable Factions

The Arcane Registry

A guild of powerful magic users. They study all magic to control, tame and utilize it.

Magic has always been the answer. With magic, we have shaped the world, slain would-be gods, and turned back death itself. Magic will be the stairway that leads us to new realms to explore and understand. We look for those who can wield power, for those who can change the world, and who will be the light in the dark.

The Industrialists

The rise of invention and science solves all problems. Industry is made to raise everyone to a better life.

The future is bright with possibilities! Every day we push technology forward as it in turn pushes life forward. Each technological leap sends us exponentially faster to the stars. The gears are in motion, the clock is ticking, and we are the future!

Nature's Pathway

Allies of nature, want to balance all life without destroying earth.

The world is changing, but the root of life is with nature. We are part of the earth, and we are its protectors. There must be balance in Nature, Magic, Life, and even progress so all can grow like the trees.

Protectors of the Old Gods

A combination of the few remaining religions, banned together, not to be forgotten. They work to be a force of good in the world to bring credibility back to religion.

We will protect those who are most vulnerable. While the world tries to forget us and move on, we will stand and fight. We will help the burdened, the downtrodden, the old, and weary. We represent the last of the gods, and we will wield their power for the good of all, and we will not be forgotten.

The Unbound

The last remaining royal family dissolved the monarchy, giving the power to the people. The Unbound represents the working class, no magic, no tech, but might in numbers and organization.

Power always corrupts. Magic, Tech, and even the gods themselves have once turned against us. We, the people, are the balance. We will keep those who put themselves above others in check. Others wield holy weapons, magical artifacts, and steam contraptions. But we carry the worker's hammer, and with that, we will destroy any throne.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you wanted to know about the Dead Wars, but were afraid to ask.

No, the game itself is only taking place on Saturday. Seating starts at 3 p.m., and the game itself goes from 4-8 p.m. The other times of the event will be open to other games, panels, and activities.

The ticket includes a seat at the game, as well as extra goodies like dice, lanyards, and items to commemorate the event. These lanyards also get you into our panels, private events, and extra experiences that will be happening throughout the two days.

Of course! Those two days, the mall will offer many free and open experiences, such as gaming, vendors, stage exhibits, live music, food, and other activities that anyone can enjoy free without tickets. 

This is our first year hosting a competitive game! However, it will not include PVP or Table vs. table. Instead, the five armies will race to complete objectives and hold key points on the map. Your table will still have to fight enemies, like soldiers of opposing armies, but those will only be controlled by the DMs themselves.

There will be extensive systems and regulations placed on the adventure and the DM’s to make the game fair. We even have systems for DMs who are letting their places run away with the game to prevent false reporting. In short, the balance is being tested and reworked until we feel confident we can deliver a balanced game of DND. There will be systems for armies that have fewer players to be still able to compete against larger armies if played well. THE CORE OF THE GAME IS TO ALLOW THE PLAYERS TO TELL THEIR OWN STORY OF THIS WAR.

Yes! We are currently reaching out to many VIP guests, so stay tuned as we get ready to reveal more of these.

This year's registration will be slightly different from the previous two years. Every player will be expected to check in and register to pick their items and be directed to their tables.

We expect to release a table map will 2 weeks before the event, marking all table locations.

During registration you can choose which faction you want to fight for. After selecting the faction, you can choose the name of the table you want. When choosing, please select all the tickets your group needs; either have all your friends buy at roughly the same time or elect someone to buy everyone's tickets and pay them back.

During registration, you can choose which faction you want to fight for. After choosing the faction, you can select which table name you want for your table. Choose any table that you see that is open but has other people already sitting at it.

YES! We can't do this event without Dungeon Masters! Dungeon Masters will also get extra loot and goodies for registering!

Packets will be released at the end of March so that Dungeon Masters have a whole month of planning and preparation. There will also be a separate Discord channel for Dungeon Masters to use to communicate and ask questions.

Character creation has not been finalized yet, so stay tuned. It will be similar to the previous years. The base outline is an LVL 5 character using the Adventures League (Version 12) and the Players Handbook from 2014. More news to come on this.

Yes, there will be a remote play option. The adventure itself will be different for players playing rememotly however you will still be able to support your favorite faciton and play in an epic game and send your results to We Geek Together to help tell this epic story!
