Rolemodels: Opening Reception Details

All New Fantasy Playing Card Game & Exhibition

Pack your crested armor, dust off your old cloak, and get your troops ready for battle!

Light Grey Art Lab's upcoming exhibition will take you on a journey through the ancient forest, over the rigid mountain spine, and through the land of fire, as you explore our fantasy land of Vyk' Tornaahl and the honorable, magical, and devious characters who reside there.

The Rolemodels exhibition is a fantasy portrait show, highlighting artist's personas, role-playing characters, and sharing more about themselves through their choice of weapon, talent, or epic legend. This show features the work of 99 artists, illustrators, games designers, and concept artists who hail from Microsoft Games Studio, Fantasy Flight Games, and more. These artists have traded in their pens and brushes for magic wands, massive broadswords, and supernatural abilites. Rolemodels celebrates each of these artworks, along with the artist and role model who created it: our real life art warriors.

Rolemodels runs from October 25th through November 30th, with an opening reception on Friday, October 25th from 7pm-10pm. Visitors are invited to dress in fantasy costume in celebration of their RPG alter-egos and Halloween. Light Grey Art Lab will be transformed into a place of legends, our Hall of Heroes, featuring portraits and landscapes by 99 artists, an ancient map of Vyk’Tornaahl, banners of the four kingdoms, and a space for playing the Rolemodels: Battle for Vyk’Tornaahl card game.

Rolemodels: The Battle for Vyk' Tornaahl Card Game Preorder

We have been biting our tongues and keeping it in for the past couple months and we can't stand it any longer!
We just officially launched the pre-order for ROLEMODELS: The Battle for Vyk' Tornaahl, a limited-edition card game featuring all the incredible alter-egos from the 99 participating artists in our October exhibition! The deck is $25 and features 95 Hero cards, 4 Kingdoms, 1 handy rule card, a D20, and a small 100-page perfectbound book on the lore, land, characters and instructions on how to play the game.


Rolemodels: The Battle for Vyk' Tornaahl Card Game Preorder

We believe that the nuances of our personalities can be seen in the characters we choose to play. RPG games hold a special place in our hearts and for the upcoming ROLEMODELS exhibition, we've asked our creative role models to help show us their inner hero / heroine. From the righteous paladins, to the back-stabbing rogues --- ROLEMODELS brings you a look at the characters inspired by the personalities of the artists you know and love. While not a literal self-portait show, we find the decisions we make while crafting our characters to be very telling of how we see ourselves and who we long to be.

ROLEMODELS
Opening Reception & COSTUME PARTY!
Friday, OCtober 25th
7 - 10pm
118 E. 26th Street #101
Minneapolis MN 55406 USA

We will be unveiling a slew of interactive extracurriculars, gameplay videos and plenty of goodies around one of Light Grey's biggest shows of the year! The ROLEMODELS opening reception falls conveniently on HALLOWEEN WEEKEND - where we'll ask our patrons to come dressed in their best mail, share a flagon of mead (or ranger beer) and party with us while we nerd out IN COSTUME.


THE GAME:


The realm of Vyk'Tornaahl is in a state of flux. Heroes battle for power in a strategic game of gathering allies, defeating foes, bluffing competing champions and ultimately vying for the rule of the realm of Vyk' Tornaahl. ROLEMODELS: The Battle For Vyk' Tornaahl is an easy-to-play game for 2 to 4 players.
