What Are RPG Getaway Weekends?
​RPG Getaway Weekends are immersive tabletop gaming vacations designed for people who want to do more than squeeze a game into an evening. This is 20+ hours of game play over 3 days.
​
You will play an unforgettable RPG in a unique setting, settle into your character, share meals and stories with fellow gamers, and spend an entire weekend doing what you love—with none of the distractions of everyday life.
​
Unlike a convention, there are no crowded exhibit halls, endless schedules, or rushing from event to event. There's no need to watch the clock. The game is the centerpiece of the getaway. Our adventures take place in a historic mansion and each is hosted by a professional Game Master, and is all-inclusive. It includes: all meals, unlimited snacks and beverages, lodging in your own large bed (no bunk-beds here!), and transportation from the airport (ALO) if needed. There is immersive and 100% on-site; you won't have to leave the property (www.theweismansion.com).
​
Come with your regular gaming group or come on your own. Meet new players, make new friends. Whether you're a lifelong RPG veteran or someone who's always wanted to try it, there's a place for you at the table.
​
This isn't a convention.
It's not just a vacation.
It's an RPG Getaway.

All lodging on site, meals, snacks, & beverages are included- note when purchasing ticket any specific items you would like as well as allergies.. Transportation from the local airport (ALO) is also included. You are responsible for transportation to the venue (any flight or driving). This venue is historic with stairs required and no elevator available. You will be contacted by the game master about 2 weeks before the event to work out specific game rules/mechanics and your character (Session 0) so we can jump right in to the game after arrival.
Terms & Conditions
More Adventure. Fewer Sidequests.
There are some amazing RPG vacation experiences out there. We love them all—and we've taken the best ideas and built our own version around what we think matters most:
No booking separate hotel rooms.
No driving back and forth between your room and the game.
No figuring out where everyone is going to eat.
No squeezing into a tiny hotel room after an epic day of adventuring.
You arrive. We take care of the rest ...oh yeah... you won't need a loan from the Iron Bank to afford us, either! If you're in the Midwest, you can probably drive in. If you're not, we're still going to wow you with Midwest hospitality, a hobbit-level larder, and the same talented DM/GMs you'd get by paying with platinum instead of GP.
