RPG Major: Actual Play Mystery RPG & Improvised Musical Theater
Tabletop role-playing meets improvised musical theater. Follow a group of private investigators as they solve paranormal mysteries in a world full of cryptids, monsters, and mythical creatures. Dice rolls and improvised songs will determine if our intrepid investigators will crack the case. You can count on a lot of laughs and moments of heartfelt kindness on the journey. The players all perform improvised comedy in Seattle, WA. We have live accompaniment (which is also improvised).
