Embark on an Atomic-Powered Summer Adventure
This summer, undertake a journey filled with excitement, fantasy, and adventure! There are three separate campaigns, but players can skip any week or weeks of a campaign to participate. Each weekly session is independent but connected to the overall campaign, offering a more comprehensive experience.

This summer will be focused on exploration, the wonder and horror of new worlds.

Here are the Details:
Sign up for the weeks that fit your schedule.
The programs run 6.5 hours daily, Monday to Friday, from 11:00 am to 5:30 pm.
Games will be in the City Room at Atomic Empire, where you can immerse yourself in a world of fantasy and imagination.
The program is for ages 12-15, with content comparable to PG or PG13-rated movies but played out in the players' imagination rather than presented on a screen. Sorry, we are inflexible on this age range.

Get ready for an unforgettable summer with these three exciting campaigns:

  • Beyond the Witchlight (Dungeons and Dragons: June 16 – 20, June 23 – 27, July 7 – 11): Dazzling lights and music greet you with the infinite possibilities of the Witchlight Carnival, which has set up near the town. But not all is as it appears. Strange whispers, missing treasures, and lost memories plague the attendees. A night of laughter and marvel leads to the fey realm that produced the Carnival and the plague that has set upon it. This is a lighter adventure full of fairy-tale wonder for the whimsical roleplayer.

  • Land of the Mists (Dungeons and Dragons: July 14 – 18, July 21 – 25, July 28 – August 1): Welcome to the mist-shrouded lands of Barovia and its evil Vampiric overlord, Strahd von Zarovich. Can you break the curse, escape this land, or even save it? Or will you, like those who came before, succumb to the superstitions of pitchfork-wielding villagers? Lacking the more mature themes from the classic adventures Ravenloft and the Curse of Strahd, this will still focus on traditional horror tropes, and adventurers should prepare for the walking dead, spiders, and ghosts.

  • Court of Whispers (Dungeons and Dragons: August 4 – 8, August 11 – 15, August 18 - 22): Every world is a breathtaking adventure, and the Radiant Citadel touches them all. From lush jungles and bustling markets to mysterious ruins and ancient rituals, every adventure offers a new world to explore and a new story waiting. Episodic adventures lead to a variety of different worlds, peoples, and adventures.

What players need:

  • An imagination

  • A sense of adventure

  • Lunch

Recommended Materials:

  • A set of dice (d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, d20)

  • A miniature to represent your character

  • Player's Handbook

  • Pencils and paper for taking notes

Atomic Empire also carries cool stuff like character folios, miniatures for familiars, and area of effect templates available in the store, so remember to check ahead of time! Player-facing books, character sheets, and dice will be available for players during the game.

Please let us know when signing up if players need any accommodations or have special requests. Join us this summer for an unforgettable adventure!
