    I am willing to facilitate Polaris friday evening in place of my cancelled City of Masks game. Four people including myself (i.e. three more places available).

    Facilitated by Albert Andersen

    Mysterious strangers. Beautiful women. Enchanted swords. Talking camels. You play members of the Sultan’s Court, whiling away the sultry nights by telling pointed stories to advance your own ambitions. Navigate the social maze and you could win your heart’s desire; offend the wrong person and you suffer the Sultan’s wrath.

    I’ll take 2-3 players, not including myself.

    I’ll be running a Sorcerer & Sword game in my Gothic Pulp Fantasy setting. Stylistically it’s Elric by way of Wuthering Heights. Thematically, it’s Violent Romanticism; nature against civilization, tradition against progression, and emotions against reason. In short, it’s a world where emotions and passions run high and everyone’s armed.

    Officially, let’s schedule this for Saturday Evening but I’d be willing to run it multiple times especially since I’d like to keep the players caped at three.

    If anyone’s interested I’m up for running a Spirit of the Shattered Earth game on Friday night. This is my over the top 60s and 70s comic book style post-apocalyptic setting using the Spirit of the Century/Fate System.

    Eons ago the world was sundered in a great cataclysm, the cause of which can never now be known. Humanity’s civilization was cast in ruins. In its place lies The Shattered Earth! A world of savagery, mutation, super science, and sorcery. But a few heroes still fight for freedom and justice against the forces of evil in a world gone mad.

    John Kim:

    I’d like to do Steal Away Jordan on Saturday Afternoon.

    This will be a straight one-shot of Julia Ellingboe’s “Steal Away Jordan” — role-playing slaves in pre-war American South. I’ll work on a setting, but we’ll do character creation as part of the game.

    Mythender is Ryan Macklin’s game in playtest that could be described as: high-epic comic book fantasy.  He’s looking for four people to brave the world of Mythic Norden and, I dunno, stab Thor in the face.

    If you’re looking to end of Myths, tell a story in a comic book format, and maybe accidentally become one in the process, sign up!  The game’s getting pretty solid.

    (Note: the game has changed enough from previous sessions that prior players will have to re-make characters.)

    This event is full.

    “In Bonvidaeo, the City of Masks, the mask you wear is who you are - or so everyone tells you. Young nobles just beginning to discover your identity, as you come of age you are thrust suddenly into the scheming and maneuvering of the powerful factions within the City. You must strive to make alliances and increase your Face, the social currency which buys you power and influence and protects you from being dragged down in the faction fights. All the time, though, your hidden face (your true personality) is coming clearer - conflicting with your mask…”

    This is a playtest of City of Masks by Mike Reeves-McMillan, facilitated by Nancy McKeown.  I have room for 5-6 people, in addition to myself (I need at least four more, however, in order for intrigue to be properly intriguing).

    Cancelled because I was at a conference this week and therefore wasn’t able to prep.  And there were no sign-ups.  I am willing to facilitate Polaris instead.

    Listen up, maggots! This game is called 3:16 - Carnage Among The Stars, so you’d better kill everything in sight! There’s room for five recruits in this man’s army. Which of you is tough enough do it?
