Saskatchewan has a growing community of board game and role playing game designers. PGX supports local game designers showcase their games by hosting a "Game Designer's Corner" in which there will be demos and play tests of local designs featured throughout the day.

This is a prototype of an unpublished game where we will be testing a few new changes. It takes place in a post apocalyptic world where aliens failed in an invasion and all are forced to live together. Some get along, some not much. Will you let the cynical and self-serving apocalypse effect guide you or will your faith in humanity prevail?

GAME: SPL Battlegrounds: The Legends Edition
DESIGNER: Ferne Hebig
PLAYERS: 6
START TIME: 1 PM
DURATION: 60-90 mins

This is a car audio-themed card game. The objective of this game is to have a blast building the sound systems of car audio competition legends using the speaker and amplifier cards in your hand, or that you you draw, and the legend/class build cards cards you buy. The challenge is to be the one at the end of the hand and ultimately, the end of the game, who has racked up the highest score. This is a self-published game for demo playing, while 'finished' feedback is still welcome. Facebook @splbattlegrounds for more info and link to walkthrough video, etc.

GAME: Divided Loyalties
DESIGNER: Ozzy Beaven
PLAYERS: 4
START TIME: 10 AM and 1 PM
DURATION: 90-120 mins

Divided Loyalties is a modular tabletop strategy fantasy wargame that combines elements from preconstructed deck building games and traditional tabletop war games. This is partway through its development, so feedback is very welcome.

DESIGNER: Nathan Ottenson
PLAYERS: 4
START TIME: 11 AM and 2 PM

"Into the Unknown" includes five, 1-hour adventures that take the PCs from exploring Absalom Station, to partaking in starship combat, to exploring an alien world. The fifth adventure in the series provides a stunning conclusion that takes the PC's previous accomplishments into account for a climactic final showdown against an enemy starship.

GAME:Star Wars Legion Demonstrations / Open Play
ORGANIZER: Rob S
TIME: 12pm - 4pm
DURATION: varies
PLAYERS: Open
DETAILS: Star Wars: Legion invites you to enter the ground battles of the Galactic Civil War as the commander of a unique army of miniatures filled with troopers, powerful ground or repulsor vehicles, and iconic characters like Darth Vader or Luke Skywalker. While innovative mechanics for command and control simulate the fog of war and the chaos of battle, the game's unpainted, easily assembled minis give you a canvas to create the Star Wars army you've always wanted to lead into battle — whether you fight for the monolithic, oppressive Galactic Empire or the ragtag Rebel Alliance.

Rob S will run demonstrations of Star Wars Legion from 12pm - 4pm. These are not intended to be full games. This is a chance for a number of players to learn about this new, highly anticipated miniatures game.

START TIME: 12:00pm
DURATION: varies
PLAYERS: open play
DETAILS: The Dragon Ball Super Card Game is the newest iteration of the Dragon Ball license applied to a collectible card game. While borrowing some basic terms and ideas from previous versions of the game, Dragon Ball Super introduces a number of new mechanics including a unique "combo" system, cards used for multiple purposes (energy, combos and characters) and a system designed to emulate the tendency of Dragon Ball characters to "power up" after taking damage.

Dragon Ball Super players will teach the game to new players starting at 12pm.  Existing players of Dragon Ball Super are encouraged to bring their decks and challenge other players in open play. If there is enough interest a mini tournament will be held. If you are coming to play Dragon Ball Super and would like a tournament please respond to this thread so we can gauge interest.

The Starfinder Society Roleplaying Guild is a worldwide science fantasy campaign that puts you in the role of an agent of the Starfinder Society.

But there are horrors out there in the darkness...

Play in the Starfinder Society Roleplaying Guild is organized into Seasons, throughout which the actions and acheivements of you and your fellow Society agents create an ongoing storyline. Each season takes place across scenarios set in a variety of exotic locales across the world of Starfinder.

It's probably best to ensure your spot by booking early (it also helps us plan if we know proper numbers), but yes, you can sign up for the tournament at any time - even on the day of the PGX - if there are openings.

It looks like I was added to the photosynthesis tournament rather than the clank tournament. Can someone correct that for me?

Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition will also be at Prairie Game Expo! Berny is a new DM and he is looking to try out D&D with other hobbyists new to the system. (Experienced players are certainly welcome, too, but keep in mind these sessions are designed with new players in mind.)

Start time: 1pm
Duration: 1.5 - 2 hrs
How many players: 2-4
What to bring: good attitude, rest will be provided, but you are welcome to bring if you have: dice, pen & paper, small miniature character as your avatar
Description: First-time DM looking for experience with other first time players, or veterans who don't mind playing with those who are new.
This is a 1st level, short Dungeons & Dragons adventure where we will have fun, kill stuff, learn a bit about D&D together, and hopefully make friends. Take on the role of a longsword-wielding folk hero to fight evil, or a powerful sorceress who can shoot ice from her fingertips, or help out your allies with cosmic healing as a dwarven cleric!
No experience required. Ages 16+ unless otherwise permitted. You will not be required or expected to act out or use a dwarven voice, but you are most welcome to, as this is a role-playing game.
Using pre-made classic characters we should be able to jump into the game fairly quickly after a bit of tutorial of really basic, simple 5th edition rules. Note that this is not a serious game where every rule will be abided by. The goal is to have fun and learn how to DM/play D&D.
