What is Riftbound?

Riftbound is a collectable trading card game featuring a vast array of characters and locales from League of Legends. Choose a Legend and Chosen Champion card for your deck and battle it out between 2 to 4 players in various game modes! The most important card in your deck is your champion legend. This is the card you build your deck around—it determines your options for the chosen champion who starts faceup on the board and who you’ll send to fight for you, and it defines the domains (colors) of your deck’s cards.

Your legend and your chosen champion define your strategy. Maybe your plan is quick strikes, maybe it’s to build up an unstoppable huge army, or maybe it’s to use one incredibly powerful and mobile fighter. You’ll have additional units (and other champion units) to send to fight, spells to help them win, and even gear to empower your team.

End of Match Procedure can be used to determine a winner if time runs out:

408.4.a. When time is reached before a winner is determined, if players are in-between games, if a player has more game wins in the match they win the match. If game wins are tied, proceed to 408.4.d.
408.4.b. When time is reached before a winner is determined, if players are in the middle of a game, the player whose turn it is finishes their turn.
408.4.c. After that player’s turn is complete, three additional turns are played. At the conclusion of those additional turns:
- 408.4.c.1. If a player has the most points in the current game, they win that game. Then, if a player has more game wins in the match, they win the match. If the game score is tied, proceed to 408.4.d.
- 408.4.c.2. If the point score of the current game is tied, but a player has the most game wins in the match, that player wins the match.
- 408.4.c.3. If the point score of the current game is tied and the game score of the match is tied, players continue to play until the next point is scored. The player who scores that point wins the match. This does not remove normal scoring restrictions if the next point is the Final Point. See CR 448.1.a. for Final Point details.
408.4.d. If the game score is tied and a new game needs to be started, players start the new game and act as though time immediately runs out, beginning the process of 408.4.a., except with five additional turns following the first player’s turn before moving into sudden death scoring as described in 408.4.c.3. if the point score is tied at the end of those turns.

What is a TTRPG?

What is a TTRPG? Great question! TTRPG stands for Tabletop Role-Playing Game. You’ve probably heard of Dungeons & Dragons—it’s one of the most popular and well-known examples of the genre. Other favorites include Pathfinder, Shadowrun, and Vampire: The Masquerade.

If those names are new to you, no worries—here’s the gist! TTRPGs are cooperative storytelling games where players create characters and go on adventures together. Typically, one player takes on the role of the Game Master (GM), guiding the story and interpreting the rules that determine actions, outcomes, and challenges.

As you play, your group builds a shared story full of suspense, humor, unexpected twists, and the occasional dramatic consequence. It’s part game, part improv, and all about creativity and collaboration.

TTRPGs have exploded in popularity in recent years—and for good reason! They’re an amazing outlet for creativity, problem-solving, storytelling, character design, and even a little bit of acting. No two games are ever the same.

Why Try a Solo TTRPG?

TTRPGs are usually thought of as group experiences—and they often are—but there’s a whole world of adventures designed just for one player!

Solo TTRPGs offer a flexible, creative way to enjoy the hobby on your own terms. If you’ve ever wondered, “Why would I role-play alone?”—here are a few great reasons:

Skill Building:
Solo play is a fantastic way to learn game mechanics, pacing, and tone. It’s especially helpful for new players who want to build confidence before joining a group.

Flexibility:
Coordinating schedules can be tough. Solo RPGs let you play whenever you want, for as long as you want—no scheduling headaches required.

Freedom:
Chase wild ideas, follow your curiosity, and explore unusual story paths. There’s no need to compromise—the story is entirely yours.

Self-Discovery & Community:
Solo play isn’t about replacing group games—it’s about learning what you enjoy. Discover your preferred playstyle, pacing, and storytelling approach. And when you come together with others, you’ll have even more to share!

Self-Care:
Solo RPGs can be a relaxing and reflective experience. You can even explore real-life challenges through storytelling, gaining new perspectives along the way.

Creativity:
You’re crafting your own journey within a guided framework. It’s structured enough to keep you moving forward, but open enough to let your imagination run wild.

What to Expect from Our Single Player TTRPG Club!

Our Solo TTRPG Club is a unique twist on a traditional game night—think of it like a book club, but instead of reading the same story, everyone is playing their own!

Single player or solo tabletop roleplay games (TTRPGs) are a unique roleplaying experience designed for one player. Most solo TTRPGs offer a more introspective and immersive story meant to be enjoyed at your own leisure. There’s no assignment of a traditional Game Master, and the book will provide you with the guidance you need.

Individually journal your responses to prompts and join in to discuss your adventures in a book club style roleplaying session at Gnome Games Green Bay East.

Players are encouraged to participate however best suits them – journaling, bullet point lists, prose, sketches, or whatever else that fits!

Our First Featured Game: Be Like a Crow

Be Like a Crow is a solo (or two-player) role-playing game where you take on the role of a clever corvid exploring a strange and fascinating world.

Play as a crow, raven, rook, jackdaw, or magpie as you travel through one of six unique settings—urban, cyberpunk, steampunk, fantasy, gothic, or even the Tower of London! Along the way, you’ll complete objectives, encounter other creatures, and collect all sorts of weird and wonderful items.

Our first session will be May 16th 2pm and will continue on Saturdays at 2pm!

Sneak Peek at Future Titles

We’ve got some fantastic games lined up for future club seasons, including:

All Night Breakfast at the Midnight Owl
You’re the creator of a supernatural investigation podcast who’s just moved to a quiet, mysterious town. Strange happenings are everywhere—perfect material for your next big episode… if you can uncover the truth.

Waffles for Esther
You’re a waitress on a simple mission: deliver a fresh plate of waffles to your favorite regular. But when Esther disappears, your routine task turns into a heartfelt mystery that you’re determined to solve.
