We just wrapped up our latest D&D event at Wafflebird! It was an absolute pleasure to collaborate with the owners, Jon and Adam, on this project.

The two talented chefs developed a special menu to suit our spooky Slavic-inspired adventure! We also couldn't have done this without the amazing game design of Blik and Stilty Games who wrote the adventure for us.

We had a great time, so thank you to all the players, gamemasters and partners who made this event truly special and unique!

This past weekend we had the pleasure of running two EPIC D&D games at Edmonton EXPO! We are so grateful for the passion and excitement of our players, who create those special moments that our gamemasters will talk about for weeks after the event ends.

The Saturday was especially memorable as we were paid a visit by some very special guests. Jason Spisak, (Silco from Arcane) Mick Wingert (Heimerdinger from Arcane), Faye Mata (Jade from Honkai Star Rail) and Tommy Gofton (designer for Crooked Moon) jumped into the fray to roll dice with us! Thank you again to the amazing team at Edmonton EXPO for giving us that chance to play at your show!

Thank you all our wonderful players for an amazing game at

Our adventure, Rumble at Red Quill Mine, saw our brave adventurers, uncover the source of powerful tremors and poisonous Cave gasses in the Dwarven town of Humberstone.

Highlights include: one party forced the mine owners into a collective agreement, an unfortunate monk almost going down in a single hit and the wild dash to stock up on goods during the boss battle.

We're grateful to everyone who continue to support our games and we look forward to seeing you for the next one!

The Resplendent Cave and Animethon have partied up to bring you our newest adventure, Rumble at Red Quill Mines! This charity D&D game will help raise money with ExtraLife in support of the Stollery Children's Hospital.

In this adventure, we've been experimenting with a new mega-game mechanic which focuses on having tables vote on resolutions. Players may choose to vote on resolution that only benefit their immediate party or they might vote for resolutions that benefit the entirety of the group!

All you need is a pass to Animethon and an RSVP.

The Resplendent Cave team has wrapped up their trip to Calgary EXPO!

Over the past four days we ran panels, workshops, one-shots and mega-games.

It has been an amazing journey, travelling down from Edmonton to provide a weekend of entertainment for con-goers. Our gamemasters gave their all to run games, some of which ran, to almost midnight!

We are grateful for this opportunity from Calgary EXPO and we hope to see everyone again next year!

A unique and integral part of Resplendent Cave games are item trading and the merchant table! Since we want to promote collaboration and the making of new friends, we developed a system where players would earn loot cards such as magic items or gold throughout their adventure.

During the event, players from different tables could gather around the merchants to buy goods, trade items or information with one another.

Through that collaborative effort, players would strategize how to defeat the final boss. As the Resplendent Cave continues to refine the item system, we intend to introduce item crafting in the near future with new NPCs like the alchemist at the merchant table.

One of the new mechanics we're experimenting with is fulu (符籙)!

Fulu are paper talismans used to ward away evil spirits and offer protection. Some of you might be more familiar with the Japanese version of fulu called ofuda, which you'll see in popular anime like Sailor Moon or Jujutsu Kaisen.

In the Temple of Amitabha, applying the proper fulu to Yaoguais will hinder them in different ways, such as removing their special abilities or making them vulnerable to certain damage types.

Beginners are welcome! Two tables will be designated for beginners to learn and play in a relaxed and patient environment. Don't fret if you're not at a beginner table though. Every gamemaster is excited to teach and welcome newcomers to this amazing table top roleplaying game!

~~* THE TEMPLE OF AMITABHA*~~

For hundreds of years, pilgrims from every corner of the Middle Kingdom have traveled to the Temple of Amitabha, where they might pay homage to the Buddha of Pure Land. Through their devotion, these pilgrims hoped to cultivate themselves so that they might be reborn in Amitabha's Realm of Infinite Light. However, recent travelers to the temple have disappeared, including envoys sent by the Emperor. You and your party have been tasked with investigating the suspicious circumstances around the Temple of Amitabha and, if needed, to purge whatever evil has taken hold there.
