GARTH NIX APPEARING AT SF in SF!
TICKETS ON SALE NOW – GO GET YOURS!
Join us Sunday, October 27th, at our brand-new venue, The Lost Church in San Francisco!
We are pleased as punch to welcome back one of our favorite authors…
GARTH NIX and his new book WE DO NOT WELCOME OUR TEN-YEAR-OLD OVERLORD!
This SPECIAL EVENT will feature a short RPG game run by Garth (D&D is an important part of the book.)
Garth has drawn on a lifetime of playing D&D and other games to create a special audience collaboration fantasy roleplaying game called ESCAPE FROM THE ENCHANTER for the event, which he will run. This will take about 20 minutes of the program. Every audience member will receive immensely collectible (probably not actually) badly drawn (by Garth) character and item cards!
(Garth sez “It may not work, it will still be fun!)
Garth has made several appearances with SF in SF over the past years, and we promise this one will be even better! It’s always a delight to hear him read, and learn more about the amazing books that have made him a beloved best-selling author around the world. Join us for a special event celebrating the release of his new book, WE DO NOT WELCOME OUR TEN-YEAR-OLD OVERLORD!
Event is moderated by author Cliff Winnig. Garth will read a bit, run the RPG with y’all, and take questions from the attendees.
This special event is taking place at The Lost Church, located in North Beach, at 988 Columbus Avenue at Chestnut, across the street from Bimbo’s 365 Club.
Doors open at 4:00PM – event starts at 4:30PM. It’s a party! We will have goodies to give away, and a free raffle for a special gift!
