RPG Game Day Robinson / Four Horsemen Comics
Four Horsemen, 100 Robinson Centre Dr, Pittsburgh, PA, USJoin us this October for a fiendish Tabletop RPG Game Day at Four Horsemen Comics and Gaming in Robinson Mall.
Whether you can't remember what 10 and 0 means on a d100, or you've gone temporarily insane a couple of times before, you've got a seat at the table. Our GMs run standalone one-shots across a mix of systems — popular horror staples, indie games, narrative RPGs, and whatever they're excited to bring. No experience required. Pre-generated characters are available for most games.
Four Horsemen is located upstairs. The closest and most reliable entrance is through JC Penney. The mall directory will get you going in the right direction. https://4horsemencomics.com/ has a neat drone shot / visual tour which might also help.
New players welcome. No experience required. If you’re unsure where to go, ask someone with dice on the second floor; they’ll point you in the right direction.

- Show up, grab a drink downstairs, and head up ready to play.
If a game is full, join the waitlist and still show up. No-shows happen, and spots open more than you'd think. No guarantees, but it's worth being there.

Vampire the Masquerade 6e / Tradition of Destruction / Four Horsemen Comics
Four Horsemen, 100 Robinson Centre Dr, Pittsburgh, PA, USRed Hot Revenge
A few years ago, a coterie of Duskborn fixers, called the Tyros, cut a deal with you. They bridged the gap between your nighttime world and the lives of the living. That is, until they ambushed you and left you to greet the sun. You've licked your wounds in secret, made deals with the authorities, and tonight you avenge yourselves before announcing your presence in Elysium tomorrow night.
Tradition of Destruction is a Vampire the Masquerade is a story about murder, revenge, and how, even in the world of beautiful, deathless monsters, paying someone back is more complicated than it seems. It was made available by Renegade Game Studios for work with Vampire v5. Since its printing, Paradox Entertainment has announced plans to playtest then release v6. Alpha playtest materials are available on Demiplane.
- Take care of those that wronged you
- Find your people and your cause
- Guard your humanity in the process
- A small sample of a much wider, darker world
Content note: Mature themes including revenge, violence, bloodshed, murder, death and betrayal. Player discretion is advised
The pre-generated characters (found here) are integrated into NPC situations to leverage VtM's advantages system. Created characters are also welcome, but may not find direct application for dots put in outside of skills. At the same time, characters made for v5 may need to be adjusted to fit the playtest rules for v6. This is a chance to see what works about the new system. But be warned, like all playtest materials, some parts may break.
