Gaming in the Woods 2020

Friday, June 26th through Sunday, June 28th 2020

This is the fourth year of Gaming in the Woods, a casual gaming weekend.

Maple Knoll Lodge in Bowdoin Park, Wappingers Falls, NY

What is it?

Gaming in the Woods is a small, relaxed gaming convention. There will be board games and tabletop games available for people to use and enjoy at any time the Lodge is open. There will also be scheduled Role Playing games and likely some scheduled tabletop games. There will be cabins available for rent if you'd like to run a game or RPGs separate from the Lodge in a quiet space that will allow your game to be run at whatever volume you desire without outside noise or worrying about bothering the table next to you.

What is it NOT?

Gaming in the Woods isn't for games that take up a large amount of space for only a few players, like miniature-based games. We just don't have the space for those sort of games.

This is NOT a convention that will involve any alcohol or drugs on premises. The park does not permit is and neither will we. Anyone found with any sort of alcohol or drugs will be immediately asked to leave and will not be refunded.

This event is not a place where you can harass anyone in any way. If you are offensive or acting inappropriately you will be immediately asked to leave and will not be refunded. Inappropriate or offensive behavior includes (but isn't limited to): sexual harassment, discrimination, bullying, destruction of property, threatening behavior, unwanted physical contact, verbal abuse, or aggression.
