Unfortunately the players have become a little.... disfunctional.

The Shadow Over Kafiristan

Facilitator: 
IdiotSavant

Sometimes, you can see the bad shit coming in advance. Take this email that just arrived, for example. On the surface, there is nothing wrong with it — just a form email from Human Resources, politely checking to make sure certain documents are in order. Do you have a valid passport? Are you inoculated against various tropical diseases? Did you pass your last medical check? All innocent on the surface, but something's up. The Laundry doesn't send people at your pay grade abroad except to mind-numbingly dull conference meetings and suicide missions; you are not sure which is worse.

Now you have another one - this time HR wants to know if your next of kin registration is still valid. Uh-oh...

The third email of the morning might as well be titled ‘RE: Bad Shit’. It is actually entitled ‘Meeting 10:30 room C4’ but the cc list includes someone called ventry@sis.gov.uk...

Welcome to sunny Nuristan—possibly the most isolated and inaccessible bit of Afghanistan, high in the Hindu Kush. It is home to lots of people who want to kill us all. It is also home to Alga Akhan, an Afghan warlord who might be a vital ally... or a worshipper of an alien god. Or both. It is up to the characters to make that call.

A Laundry Files adventure from Black Bag Jobs.

LARP: Hell is Other People

Facilitator: 
Michael Foster

On a cold and snowy night in the year 2213 eight very dangerous individuals gather in a bar, in the city of Baumgartner on the planet of Magellan.
Why are they there? Who are they? What connects them? And just who is the guy with the duck head?

Tonight, these questions will be answered, but possibly not to everyones liking.

This is a SF themed game, set in THE FUTURE!

There Will Be Blood

Facilitator: 
Michael Foster

For too long Sharky and his gang of gang of psychotic thugs have been getting away, literally, with murder in the East End. Their crimes are too numerous to list, the details too horrific for even the most hardened cops to stomach, the body count higher than the Burj Khalifa and the financial cost of the damage enough to make even the greediest Wall St broker feel faint.
But certain members of the elite organised crime unit have had enough, they're concocting an elaborate plan in secret to take them down once and for all. One way or another, there will be blood, and lots of it.

Its a wrap

KapCon XXI is done and dusted! A lot of games, a fantastic flagship larp, and a lot of happy gamers. I haven't got final stats yet, but I'll be posting them there once I've crunched the numbers.

If you have any feedback, or want to share your stories of KapCon, there's an NZRaG forum. We'll be paying close attention to work out how to improve your con experience, and we've had a number of good suggestions emerge already.

And of course we'll be back, same time, same place next year. Hopefully I'll see you all then.

The Lost Church

Facilitator: 
Conan McKegg

Recently up in the mountain ranges that look out over the plains towards The Holy City, a group of archaeologists have uncovered an ancient chapel that the Holy Church believes to be an early church to Abel.

For over a month reports have come in describing mosaics and documents that date back to a time of great conflict and war, and may help provide insight into an era lost to history. But a week ago the stream of communication stopped. The Empress is concerned that something has befallen the exploratory group and has offered to pay for a small scouting expedition to investigate if there has been trouble from bandits or thieves in the area.

But what the group is about to find is no simple case of banditry, but possibly a discovery that will rock their understanding of the world of Gaia. A discovery that some people are willing to do anything to prevent becoming public knowledge.

The Lost Church is set in the Anima: Beyond Fantasy setting of Gaia. A world going through a Renaissance, where magic is something said to be of myth and legend, where science is on the rise. But there are those in the world who know this to be a lie. Magic is everywhere and it is getting stronger, not weaker. Ancient races, long believed to be nothing by stories, are being reborn - their souls reincarnating into mortal bodies. The game is a mix of Western Fantasy with the style and sensibilities of Japanese cRPGs like Lost Odyssey and Final Fantasy.
