The Event
Philly Megagames is proud to partner with Recap’s Corner to run Deephaven, the megagame about up to 50 dwarves attempting to build a fortress and all the things that go wrong.
Deephaven is a (mostly) roleplay-heavy cooperative fantasy megagame by Trenton Greyoak of Minnesota Megagames. This will be the sixth run of the game, with each run being iteratively improved upon. Generally, the game has been smoothed and made less antagonistic with each run of the game. Expect some player-vs-player but mostly player-&-player-vs-shenanigans.
The Setting
All Dwarves are welcome at Deephaven! From the proud Mountain Clans and industrious Hill Clans, to the mysterious Clans of the Deep. Yes, even Gully Dwarves are allowed, as odd as they may be! But take heart, we have abolished the caste systems of old! You are not stuck to one role. Only you can craft your destiny!
Players delve deep into the mountain to discover unique resources, forge legendary weapons, develop thriving trade and culture, and fight back against the many dangers they uncover! MINERS delve deep to find arcane metals! SHAPERS forge legendary weapons, armor, and new inventions. ARCHITECTS build awe-inspiring structures and massive fortifications. MERCHANTS handle foreign trade, FARMERS feed us, and BREWERS keep us, uh, well-hydrated! The CARTOGRAPHERS maintain the Grand Map and the INKBEARDS chronicle discoveries, announce oaths, grudges, and important events. The GUARDIANS keep the peace, and the LEGION leads us to war! Come to Deephaven! Build a new home for all Dwarves!
The Guilds
Players are given roles with narrative backstories but are left free to choose their own mechanical roles & abilities in the game via joining the guild of their choice! With varied mechanics and tones, the Deephaven guilds allow for a wide variety of players to find something they love!
