A Week Of Gaming - In Las Vegas
This time, the Gods of Ancient Egypt are dealing
The Black Pyramid of Keshanar isn't a convention, and it isn't a vacation — it's a week-long descent into a living story. For seven days beneath the black pyramid of the Luxor, you and your party will inhabit an original dark-fantasy campaign built specifically for this event, where the line between the table and the world around you quietly disappears.
​
This is collaborative storytelling at its most immersive: master-run D&D programming, feasts fit for the pharaohs between adventures, and relics to carry home when it's over. You won't watch a story unfold — you'll live inside one. Step into Keshanar not as a spectator, but as an adventurer whose choices shape how the legend ends.

Dave Hadden
Creator of Keshanar
David Hadden is the founder and "Warden of Worlds" at Orthane Productions and the lead author of The Kingdom of Keshanar, an ancient-Egyptian-themed 5e campaign setting. A serial entrepreneur turned tabletop RPG creator, Dave founded and sold four technology companies and was a pioneering innovator in AI-based medical decision support and simulation—work that has helped train more than a million doctors across 90 countries and supported hundreds of clinical trials. But his longest-running passion is one he's pursued for 40 years: serving as a Dungeon Master. A true adventurer who has traveled to 90 countries to restore ancient buildings, climb mountains, sail, and even play pan pipes in a Peruvian music group, Dave pours all of it into Keshanar—a world where players explore the grandeur and mystery of ancient Egypt in a parallel universe where the magic, the monsters and the gods are real. For him, it's more than a game; it's a way to share his lifelong love of mythology and role-playing with adventurers everywhere.
