Wellington Anniversary Weekend January 18th - 19th 2025

The Most Beautiful Woman in All of France

Facilitator: 
Jonathan Tailby

Smash hit of Otago 2001, recut and refined for the KapCon audience.

A group of swashbuckling heroes, reunited in Callais after long absences, quickly come to a wager. Who can win the most beautiful woman in all of France, by the time of up coming ball? So begins the week of competition and plotting, and what role does the woman herself play in all of this? Good luck heroic champions.

The Thursday Crisis

Facilitator: 
Dale

This summer your favourite super-franchise delivers another action-packed episode:

For seven years the planet has enjoyed peace and security thanks to the magnificent efforts of the reunited Council of Champions. When we mark Champion Day this January 23rd, we give thanks to the all-American hero Captain Hope, British super-genius Professor Eternity, Spanish gun-slinger Salvo, the giant Ground Zero, and all the other champions who risk their lives to safeguard global prosperity.

Things haven’t been going smoothly for the champions of late; twenty six passenger planes have gone missing during the last month - creating a world-wide panic, while temporal distortions have been wrecking havoc in the streets of the world’s most populous cities. Then there’s Hope and Eternity’s teenage son Daniel’s very public rift with his parents, which has been tabloid fodder for months, and the reported production problems and cost overruns with Captain Hope’s grandiose biopic.

Will the Champions manage to master this latest mysterious malevolence?

Can our protagonists prevent pandemonium or will personal predicaments prevail?

Find out at Kapcon XX on January 23rd...

This game will be run in round 4, with an option for an extra run in round 6 if there’s sufficient demand. For more information about what has gone before check the Council of Champions blog at: www.councilofchampions.blogspot.com

HarnCon: Naked on the Beach

Facilitator: 
Lawrence Bryan

The night before a storm came out of nowhere and despite the efforts of the crew drove the ship on to jagged rocks that ripped the hull from one end to the other. The last thing you remember was being washed over board and sinking beneath something to heavy to what you assumed was an early death.

At day break you find yourself alive on a beach with a warm sun slowly rising. As you sit up you see a few more folks stirring and some not moving at all. Out to sea a few hundred yards is the remains of your ship. Along the beach are various piles of debris. Except for some bruises and a few cuts and scrapes, you seem to be okay.

What do you want to do?

This is a freeform, low-magic, fantasy survival game using the HârnMaster Gold system. The rules are not complex, and it would be a good introduction for new players.

Chaos in Rome

Facilitator: 
Liam

The political landscape of Rome is shifting subtly and the family is under attack. First the head of the family was assassinated and now the daughter, Oppia, is missing. The family, along with trusted friends, now gathers at the family home for an evening meal. While this is the opportunity to discuss family business the main topic of discussion is the suspicions of your honoured guest, Senator Strabo, and how his story relates to the disappearance of Oppia.

Prepare yourself for a roller-coaster ride through ancient Rome where assassins and much much worse lurk in the shadows and players try to keep their wits and their head about them (literally) during these dangerous times.

I first ran this at Confusion 2010.

There's this great concert at Alpha Centauri, so you all piled in your buddy's clapped out old starship for a road trip. Then something started making a grunking noise, and now you're stuck on some backwater planet called Earth. You need to find a way to fix your warp shunt, while dodging MIBs, UFO cultists, and the gun-toting redneck whose wheat field you crashed into.
