Some card and board games will be available for pickup games at any time. Gunner will also be providing an X-Box with games throughout the convention. Also, ask about games of Fluxx and "1,000 Blank White Cards" which may occur with some frequency.

Times given are starting times, games usually take 2-4 hours to play.

Game Descriptions

BrikWars, Saturday 12:00pm (tournament, could last 6 hours or more), GM: Joe Greene.
Today's adventure: The aliens have landed, The undead are on the rampage... How can humanity possibly survive?
What is BrikWars? It's like warhammer for construction block toys (like Lego brand, though this is not a product of or endorsed by that company). From the introduction to the rules, found online at www.brikwars.com:
"BrikWars is a marvelous Pandora's box, an endless fount of destruction and mayhem, where every coincidence falls in favor of maximum violence, where life is cheap, plastic, boxy, and bears only the most superficial resemblance to our world of flesh and mortgages. Time is marked from moment to moment by oscillating peaks of melodrama and troughs of sheer ridiculousness. Rules of continuity and physics are as malleable as any of us in the 'real' world have learned to expect from a lifetime of superhero comics, schlocky action movies, and public education -- and they're always trumped by the dramatic requirements of the moment and the most liberal application of Murphy's Law. Even the rules governing BrikWars itself are unresistingly overturned by a haphazard shrugging of shoulders and the players' mutual whim. Spelling is consistently poor."

Ghoul, Fatal Addiction (Vampire: The Masquerade system), Friday 6:00 pm, GM: Tammy Jo Eckhart.
NOTES: Game runs to midnight (possibly later); for mature players.
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 6:30pm! Character sheets will be given out to those who should up on a first-come first-chose basis the evening of the game.
Players should bring their D10 dice, a pencil, and some scratch paper, as well as (if they have it) 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 eight years down in Bloomington, Ind. This particular setting and situation was test-run by a mixed group of experienced and inexperienced people - they report they had a lot of fun and could solve the mystery given the time limit. Scripted by a published erotica author and sexuality activist, this game should be considered full of "adult potential".
Anyone not interested in playing ghoul who has World of Darkness experience may be welcomed to play a NPC once the minimum number of players is reached. However, these NPCs will not have large roles since the majority of the game time will be set during daytime.

HERO (RPG): Fantasy HERO, 10:00 am Saturday, "Heart of the Living God," GM: Greg Hurst
You've spent your entire life living in the city, finally you have a chance to get out and make a name for yourself. Opportunity presents itself when a local collector of rarities has requested you and your friends to find a very special gem. Experience with HERO would be great, but is not necessary.

HERO (RPG): Star HERO, 2:00 pm Saturday, "Scavengers," GM: Greg Hurst
You're a member of a deep space scavenger vessel. Your mission is to scuttle abandoned ships and sell the parts for cash. However, this last find seems a little too good to be true. Experience with HERO would be great, but is not necessary.

NOTE: Six-player limit.
Play the Smirk & Dagger game that is a parody of the popular children's board game about a land of candy. But this land is a sugary trap if you are sweet and edible! Can you escape? (Or, at least part of you?) Along with character sheets, each player will receive a big gingerbread man cookie -- so as it loses parts, they can be broken off and eaten.
