Grauschloss

Facilitator: 
Alistair Boyd-Bell

Grauschloss is a bleak, gothic scenario of investigation and intrigue, ideally run as a stand-alone adventure with four players. In it the players assume the roles of an inquisitorial assembly heeding a call for help by the priest Pieter Schött, who rightly senses that something is terribly, terribly wrong at the keep and in the nearby village of Almburg. Their task is to investigate the murders that have occurred there, discern truth from lies, and hopefully uncover the dark truth of Grauschloss’s history.

Exalted: Daughter of Nexus

Facilitator: 
Alistair Boyd-Bell

Nexus: jewel of the Scavenger Lands. Though precious, it is a jewel is stuck in the earth, covered in dirt and eroded from the worms and the other vermin who live in the mud. Every time someone tries to dig the jewel up and wash off the mud, they usually find out the vermin have teeth. Nexus has too many stakeholders and schemers who don’t want their muck exposed. From Guildsmen to Anathema, Nexus is a safe bet to find a scheming source of trouble or a hidden Exalted hero. Even the gods of Nexus aren’t above the petty personal power plays.

A World of Possibilities

Facilitator: 
Alasdair Sinclair

In the depths of winter, a bedraggled and sodden Boston begins to emerge after the worst storm in US history. For three days, sheet lightning and rain seemed to be heralds of the world's end. At least it was too wild for all but the most essential looting - furniture stores rendered into life-saving firewood. By the time people emerged blinking into the daylight, the National Guard was on the streets keeping order.

Aliens: Endgame

Facilitator: 
morgue

Endgame is an intense character-based drama in a horrific world.

In 1995, the weekend-long event Gametime launched a series of large-scale games in Wellington inspired by the Aliens film franchise. The last of these was Apocalypse in December 1999, which found Earth overrun by the alien creatures. Now, ten years later, Endgame will take you back to that blighted planet and give you a chance to seek out its future.

Small town USA, 1986. The goth years.

You and the entire teenage goth population (all 6 of you) have heard the best news ever - The Cure are coming to town!!!

Well, not your town. I mean, nothing ever happens in your one-cow town. This is going to require a road trip, and it's going to be EPIC. You have the family mini van, assorted useful (or not so useful) resources spread between you, and one shared goal: do whatever it takes to meet Robert Smith.
