leaving, heather's blooming across the hillsides, young lasses are

A Game of Thrones Board Game
Feast for Crows Expansion
Gamemaster: Griffin Mitchell
Time: Saturday 13:00
Length: 10 Hours
Location: 238A "In A Game of Thrones the board game, players take control of one of the
great Houses of Westeros. Via resource management, diplomacy, and cunning,
they seek to win dominance over the land. Players must give orders to
armies, control important characters, gather resources for the coming
winter, and survive the onslaught of their enemies. A unique phase mechanic,
battle resolution, and special ordering system make for an engaging game in
which all players are actively involved at all times." - Board Game Geek
In the Feast for Crows expansion, my poor, innocent players will be
required to take control of one of the -nine- available houses in an epic
battle for supremacy. This massive undertaking will occupy the backs of two
of the normal game boards with a fan-made custom board, introducing new
mechanics, three new houses, and a vast amount of new territory to battle
over.
The game will be run in Diplomacy tournament style - 15 minutes of
discussion, plotting, and planning time, 5 minutes of setup, and a whole
heaping hunk o' time for each actual turn, as your opponent refuses to fall
into your lovingly crafted trap.
Players new to Game of Thrones (the board game) should show up on time for
a rules discussion - those familiar with the basic system can do away with
the first 45 minutes. Game will take an hour break for the BBQ.

your lord as he lives out the epic story of his life, slaying mighty beasts
with his bare hands. The one who aids him the most will become Lord of the
Geats (cuz, you know, *SPOILER* Beowulf dies at the end)!
Don't care about the story? This is a bidding game - collect resource
cards, then spend them in bidding for special cards, gold, victory points or
random stuff. Don't be caught out on the big bids, or you'll be stuck with
penalties that lower your score. It's all victory points in the end, but
everything helps you get there!

Marooned
Gamemaster: Eric Rall

Location: 245 There's an old Spacer saying: "Beyond the orbit of Saturn, there is no law. Beyond Uranus, there is no God." Strange things happen on the depths of space, and even the most hardened of pirates rarely venture far into the outer system. But a lot has changed in the last six months.
Six months ago, the Interplanetary Transport Corporation was nationalized, the great President Alexi Wang was assassinated, and a military coup was put down when a pirate fleet and the Terrans joined with the portion of the Spacer fleet which remained loyal to the Federal Council. The Accords were ratified shortly after the Battle of L2, and the pirates were offered amnesty. Most accepted, but the holdouts have been driven further and further into the outer system.
You and four other crewmen have been judged traitors against the Jolly Roger. Your sentence is a lifetime of exile, and a rather short lifetime at that. You've been deposited on an airless rock deep in the Kuiper belt, and each of you has only an environment suit, three hours of oxygen, and a pistol with one bullet. Unless you can find something on this godforsaken rock to keep you alive or arrange a miraculous rescue, your future looks bleak.

some party gold and be on our way in the morning!"
As the party approaches the site, the first thing noticed is the smell.
Everywhere you go, the smells of roses, gardenias, honeysuckle, petunias,
and lilacs fill the air. Every house has a garden, each one designed to
capture patterns of color. Cabbages and carrots grow in backyards under
apple, pear and cherry trees. All which don't help your stomachs, rumbling
with the memory of last night's iron rations.
For such a vibrant locale, one would expect the village to be hopping.
However, not a single being walks within your sight...

succeed. Players are requested to bring a spare copy of your character sheet

gargantuan shape, easily eclipsing the bulk of a large dragon. A
screeching of metal on metal as sparks fly across your feet.
The Biswitch Express has arrived. The maiden voyage of the train everyone
has been talking about for months is about to begin. Dignitaries from many
nations step from the wooden platform onto the train. The next days should
be very interesting indeed.
You wanted to be on the maiden voyage of the train but there are other

When the Adventurer's Guild offers that much money, it has to be
something important. Especially if they are sending you half way across

own.

With all the dignitaries on the train there is bound to be something of
great worth traveling with them. A lot of less than savory characters can
come to that same conclusion, especially with the train passing by the
Great Eastern Barrier. Maybe helping safeguard the train wasn't the best
idea you ever had...

Location: Pit E Go Stop - Korean Flower Card Game
Gamemaster: Chris Knight
Time: Sunday 10:00
Length: 2 Hours
Location: Pit B Tired of learning the newest Eurogame? Brain bent by too much dungeon
crawling? Want to revel in the traditional games of your "ring of fire"
neighbors? How about a light game of Go Stop, the traditional Korean
game played with Hwatu, or Korean flower cards. Game play involves
matching cards of the same flower from your hand, scoring for sets, and
with a nail-biting element of deciding whether to keep playing (Go) or
to score your points now (Stop.) Takes 15 minutes to learn (no need to
learn any Korean) and each round lasts 15 minutes, and I'll discuss a
bit of strategy and history for interested parties (or use Google to
find the rules and history before the Con.)
Every player receives their own deck plus full-color rules in English so
you can play it with friends on the next Chuseok, or Korean thanksgiving
or autumn festival (celebrated on the 15th day of the 8th month of the
lunar Korean calendar--Sept. 14, 2008; Oct. 3, 2009...) A deck fits
nicely in your pocket and the cards are plastic--great for playing over
beer (soda for the kids) and pizza. So feel free to bring food and eat
while you play!

Length: 4 Hours

beliefs of each living being. Some few, the Awakened, have the power
to impose their will on that structure, overriding the greater

price, however. Paradox is the force of the universe as it snaps back
into place after being bent by a Mage's power. Any Mage who has been
Awakened for any appreciable length of time has felt the sting of
Paradox, many have been destroyed by it. Paradox wreaks havoc with a
Mage's mind and body, and with the fabric of reality itself. Can you
escape its wrath?

have ever seen, *maybe*? *Possibly* marvel at the unique campaign setting!
Be astounded by the simple yet deep combat mechanics, *if it exists*. "But
Kellen," you may ask, "the quantum uncertainty is killing me! Will this
bafflingly awesome RPG be running or not?" I am glad you asked! The answer
is a resounding "*in*Definitely!" The only way to find out if it is dead or
alive is to observe, so show up and find out!
And what is this fantastic setting, *assuming* *existence*? Kellen has been
playing too much Dungeons and Dragons: Shadows over Mystara. So much so, in
fact, that he thought it would be a good idea to convert a side scrolling
action arcade game into an RPG. Choose a fighter, assassin, wizard, or
[insert 4th class here] and beat up bad guys in a scrolling isometric
environment. Execute air juggle combos! Fill up your power meter to
unleash a supermove! All in disturbingly slow simulated game time!
Characters and character decks will be constructed (poorly) ahead of time,
so all you will need to do is show up, play, and not groan at
the railroading! Choo Choo!
