The year is 2085. The Stars are right. Humanity stands on the brink of extinction, beset on all sides. The Tattered King, Hastur, has awoken and his followers rampage across Asia. The Esoteric Order of Dagon search for their slumbering god. The Migou have an armada controlling Earth's orbit. Insidious cults are everywhere.

Poor Marty Fischer; he's been found dead, supposedly attacked by wolves in Clarksville National Park. Now the FBI, CDC, Park Rangers and Local law enforcement have all scrambled to find out why an innocent tramper could have been killed in such a way. As a result, as the Autumn weather closes in, the characters are about to discover what it really means to be "under a Harvest Moon".

The date is February 1945, the location Dresden, Germany.

Over the next two nights 13 hundred Allied bombers will drop 4 thousand tons of high-explosives on this "foremost industrial location", the result of which will be a firestorm that takes the lives of 40 thousand innocent civilians. Amongst this mayhem and carnage six young souls will discover that the horrors without are nothing when compared to the terrors that can be found in the shelters below.

Hades Entertainment acquires the award winning DragonStone™ reality game show

12:30pm PST, Friday, April 17th, 2071

Hades Entertainment, a subsidiary of the Draco Foundation, is pleased to announce the purchase of the former Horizon network, Phox. The Phox network primarily known for its multi-award winning DragonStone™ reality game show, has seen a dramatic fall in popularity in recent years. After spirited negotiations, Hades CEO Conal Mc Cumhaill and Phox President Sergei Kurakin held a Matrix virtual press conference at 11:45am today to announce the transaction.

"This sale positions Hades Entertainment to revitalise the highly successful DragonStone™ show, our expanded DragonStone ™ game will revolutionise reality game shows and attract a new generation of fans and promises to be something special."
Hades CEO Conal Mc Cumhaill

“We are pleased to have the opportunity to redevelop the Phox network’s premier show, DragonStone™ with Hades Entertainment. We look forward to bringing Denver the most technically advanced reality game show in existence.”
Phox President Sergei Kurakin

The Phox President declined to respond to rumours about the shows cancellation prior to the sale to Hades and dismissed suggestions that the public were “tired” of the seemingly endless reality shows produced by his network.

Hades Entertainment has surprised many with the purchase of such a niche company, for an undisclosed eight-figure sum.

Everyone thought Vince would live forever. Seems they were wrong, because Vince is dead. Of course, knowing Vince it could be another one of his pranks and he's going to jump out of the coffin with a drink in his hand, laughing his head off. But perhaps this time Vince hasn't been able to cheat death, he finally chanced it one too many times. Anyway, here you are, at the funeral. Lot of unfamiliar faces along with with the people you do know, but Vince always did move in lots of circles, a real social butterfly he was.

"Helllllllo and welcome to the All States Roller Derby championships! Oh boy what a line up we have for you today. After a brutal round of semis yesterday we have managed to get down to our final two teams. Who will be the winner of the prestigious All States Roller Derby Cup? Stay tuned to find out!"

Join the Time Police, they said. It's a cushy life, they said, in the Women's Auxiliary of the Xenochronometry Division of the Standards Inspectorate. Snappy uniform, they said, government pension and nothing more laborious to do than fill out the occasional B11 Notification of Noncompliant Measurement Units (Revised). Yeah, right. Because since breakfast you’ve been shot at twice, erased from history six times, trapped in five temporal paradoxes and narrowly avoided having sex with your own grandfather. And it’s still only glargle past threep. Again.

In a world where the Rules Lawyers enforce the holy writ of the Dungeon Master’s Guide, there is little mercy for those who stray from the One True Way. So when your village comes due for a Wandering Monster Check, it's all hands on deck to make sure that you're fully compliant with the tables in Appendix C. And that’s when you find out the authorities have rezoned your wilderness hex "Sub-Tropical to Tropical - Age of Dinosaurs."

Deep under Wellington, something stirs...

KapCon has been dead but dreaming for the past few months, but is now beginning to stir to life to eat the minds of the puny fleshy things that walk the surface of the earth, never contemplating what horror lurks beneath organise next year's con. The first step: organise the first round GMs. We need to start early because first round game details go in the flyer, which we would like to have out in time for Buckets of Dice (or CONFusion at the latest). So, we're looking for some volunteers. At this stage, all we need is a title, a blurb, and most importantly, a commitment to be there and run. If you can do that, then please email us or chip in on the NZRaG discussion.
