The best roleplaying game does not exist. So many games are excellent, even exquisite, at what they do and for whom they do it. Many unique properties that make RPGs what they are—emergent, collaborative, participatory, and so on—make the full impact of any RPG something close to immeasurable.

The Tabletop Games Demo Expo returns January 17th, 2026, at Co-Prosperity in Chicago's Bridgeport neighborhood. FREE from noon to 5pm, we host designers, artists, and players of great #TTRPG and board games to discover and play new and in-the-works games from locals! demoexpo.games

Today is a good day to sign up for the newsletter at leveleater.com — and January 17, 2026, looks to be a good day to join us in Chicago for an adventure. Stay tuned.

The adventurers who dared to take on the debut event of SALVAGE ERA? They returned a stolen artifact to its rightful place, ending a curse upon the Never Sea. Also, they saved a robot, met ghosts, escaped a deathtrap, and so much more. They were heroic and they fought evil. Thanks, heroes! #ttrpg

Games happen at the intersection of art and play. Art and play are good for you. They're communicative. They form connections. Lots of different arts overlap with play--and are playful. Art changes things, sometimes bit by bit. Play is great practice (and more). Let's play. #ttrpg

The game for our Salvage Era event is *combinative* in many ways. For example, adventurers combine classes, like Captain (a social leader & tactical supporter) and Scholar (observant, studious, informed). Who springs to *your* mind when you think of a Scholar Captain? #ttrpg salvage-era.com

Our new game rules debut along with the first adventure of SALVAGE ERA on 9/13 — in which each playable character combines classes to show how they approach adventures. What do you imagine a Mechanic + Rogue adventurer might be like? salvage-era.com
