Event description:

In the back streets of the American sector of post-war Berlin is a freshly painted red door in the bullet pocked wall. Behind it lies "Die Insel" a small, privet nightclub and cabaret. A strange island of music, booze and physical comfort in war-wracked Berlin. Though an illegal club, blind eyes are turned by the American Military Governor as too much valuable intelligence is collected and under-the-table business conducted to close down the operation. Powerful men of the occupying forces and the black market are drawn like moths to this beacon of warmth, liquor and music amid the wasted cityscape. Tonight, a strange assembly of club regulars and first time visitors descend upon Die Insel. Storm clouds of deception and secret agendas are gathering on the horizon, preparing to break in a cataclysmic tempest. Mature players only. Costuming welcome though not necessary.

Few assignments for the Society are ever as simple as they first sound. This is a Living Death adventure for heroes of 5th through 13th level. This adventure has lots of investigative opportunities. The Living Death Campaign uses a d20TM version of the Masque of the Red Death rules based on Dungeons and Dragons version 3.5. Experience and previously used characters required.

Please note this is done as a Tribute to Jack Chalker and is loosely based on his Well Of Souls/Nathan Brazil series. However though it is the same world, it will not use his creatures as that might infringe upon copyrights for which I only have limited permission from Mr. Chalker to use for non-monetary entertainment purposes. So bring your own or play a pregenerated character/race. If you bring your own race please arrive early with a full D20 racial workup.

Minimum age: 10
DM: Derran H Stanley

Event description:

Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 pregenerated characters provided of 3rd level. For generations, your band of traveling actors has performed traditional hero plays all across the southern kingdoms. Times are changing, and you can't make a living as an actor anymore without noble patronage, and you can't get noble patronage without putting on a first-rate show. Fortunately, you've managed to persuade the best playwright in three kingdoms, Rennet of Gromsberg, to write you a script. With his talent behind you, you're sure to land a patron. If only Rennet hadn't managed to get himself kidnapped before he delivered the text. An adventure for 3rd-level characters, characters provided.

Event Title: Hidden in the Light of Day
Game system & setting: Ghoul, Fatal Addiction, from the Vampire the Masquerade RPG (not LARP) system
# of players: Minimum 5, Maximum 10
Minimum age: 18
Storyteller: TammyJo Eckhart

Event description:

Someone is killing Kindred in the City. During the daylight, when they are most vulnerable, they are being staked and then burned or decapitated. At first it was merely transient Kindred, loners, rather insignificant people. Now a well-known Toreador has been killed in his jazz club and to make matters worse the two servants he had guarding him are dead as well.

The Prince and his council of Primogens are worried. No Kindred seems safe as Camarilla, Independent and even suspected Sabbat Clans are losing members. Who can they trust to protect them during the light of day if even their own servants are being killed? The truth is harsh: there is no one else but these same retainers to protect them as it has been since the time of Cain.

An uneasy alliance between the most powerful Kindred in town is cemented through the bodies of their most trusted ghouls. Retainers, however, hold the same values as their domitors. Can this unlikely group discover who is murdering their masters and their brothers/sisters in service before another death occurs? If they can't, how will they survive the upcoming night and the wrath of those who trust them most?

Kindred need ghouls. Oh, they don't like to admit it and often their most important servants get ignored or abused, but the fact remains that without these "best of Seth's children", Kindred would quickly fall to their hunger and their enemies. Discover what its like to be so very integral to and yet so very disenfranchised in the World of Darkness.

The first half hour will be for character selection and getting into your character. Characters will be pre-designed and fairly complex - be prepared to act and interact beginning at 10:30am!

Players should bring their D10 dice, a pencil, and some scratch paper, as well as a basic player's guidebook for Vampire the Masquerade, 1998 (WW2300) edition. Basic knowledge of how ghouls work is a plus but not necessary.

Storyteller has been running a World of Darkness game for the past seven years down in Bloomington, Indiana. A published erotica author and sexuality activist this game should be considered full of "adult potential".
