Leaving

a narrative puzzle-solving module by Brent Benadè

10:00, Thursday the 9th of August (DM briefing at 09:00)

The night was long and dour. Each drink to lift the weight from one’s shoulders instead stirring and weighing the ephemeral contents of the head. You leave. Time in between coherent snatches disappears into the swirling of space. Through the rain and the roar of the road, a bright light pierces reality, and takes you away...

DM-less games

14:00, Thursday the 9th of August (player briefing at 13:00)

And now for something completely different—DM-less narrativist tabletop roleplaying! In this slot, various ~~victi~~ volunteers will introduce you to Fiasco, and possibly some other games.

Yet Tartarus Remains

a GURPS Lite horror module for 4 players by Connie Neeser

10:00, Saturday the 11th of August (DM briefing at 09:00)

1948, Kleitos Island in the Aegean Sea. With the end of World War II, archaeologists have once again returned to this mostly rural island to resume the excavation of the ancient Greek acropolis of Achlys.

But something unexpected has been discovered buried at the Oracle of Nyx: the remains of a large animal, species unknown.

“An amazing discovery!” the team lead writes to their departmental head at Princeton University. “We cannot tell even if it's vertebrate or invertebrate, let alone how it came to this island. Send us a palaeontologist who feels confident that they can safely exhume this thing.”

But now the team has stopped responding to communications, and there are reports that they are no longer on the island.

And you are going there—to discover what is to be discovered, and to see what remains.

Creep

An Unknown Armies horror module for 4-6 players, by Mike Dewar

14:00, Saturday the 11th of August (DM briefing at 13:00)

Sometimes, it's good to get away. To get away from...

...your loveless marriage...

...your criminal past...

...the crowds that choke you and drag you down...

...the horror in the night...

But you can't get away from everything. Some things hunt you down, no matter how far you run. Some things never stop dogging your footsteps, no matter where you hide. When you rest, when you sleep, they're moving ever closer.

Some things creep.

Singularity

11:00, Sunday the 12th of August (DM + Player briefing at 10:00)

There will be a Singularity module run by Warren Russell—more information coming soon.

General information:

The cost of playing in a module is R20 for players—DMs don't pay.
Players and DMs sign up as individuals, and are randomly assigned to tables.
Before each module there is an hour reserved for the writer to brief all the DMs—if you have signed up to DM, please make sure you're here on time!
We encourage you to sign up in advance, especially for the morning modules—but please note that you may lose your place if you don't pay or arrive after the start time. To sign up by email, contact Kristen (netsirk08 at gmail dot com) or Adrianna (adrianna dot pinska at gmail dot com) and indicate whether you would prefer to play or DM.
After the module, the players fill in a scoring sheet to rate their DM, and the DM rates the players and the module. Please don't run away before filling in the scoring sheet—we need them to pick winners for our prizes! :)
