Geekfest Arcs of Fire - Save the Date
At this point, the event is in planning stage only
Roll the Initiative presents a “Geekfest – Arcs of Fire
This will be a weekend of tabletop war gaming events hosted at the Sea King Club in Shearwater, in Eastern Passage Nova Scotia on the 15 & 16 Nov 2025.
Geekfest is a celebration of gaming, providing opportunities to gather as a community to game.
What is tabletop wargaming? Tabletop wargaming is a type of gaming where players use miniature figurines to simulate battles. These figurines can be from any time period or genre, and players can use them to recreate historical battles, fight in imaginary worlds, or create their own scenarios.
This event will include multiple game systems, and may have demo games which will show the existing communities in Halifax and the many opportunities for play that exist. If you’re interested in tabletop war gaming, please stop by to see the many miniatures on the tables. If there is a game system that you’d like to play, with a group or just with friends, please reach out to the organizers and we’ll set up some space for you to join in.
Spectators are welcome to drop in and check out the gaming at no cost.
