Game 3a: The Melodramatic Misadventures of Romiet & Juleo
Skull & Bones D20. Pbartender.
In lovely Merona we set our scene,
A quaint village with the sea all around.
Where never war, famine nor plague has been,
Tranquility, peace and boredom abound.
And so within this halcyon domain,
The board on which our pieces have been laid,
A rich man's daughter and her lowly swain
Prepare to play the game of man and maid.
Yet what courtship lasts without enmity?
Hardships will unavoidably ensue.
In defence of paternal dignity,
Her grim brothers do her suitor pursue.
No valor, has he, to redeem the day,
Nor courage to face his fair damsel's plight,
Nor swordsman's arm. The quill is more his way.
But Lo! He spies men to take up his fight.
For though our fair maid may not yet know it,
By the help of scoundrels with soften'd hearts,
Her fortune is ruin'd for love of a poet.
And for us, time has come to play our parts...
A Skull & Bones D20 adventure for up to six pre-generated characters. No prior experience necessary.

Game 3b: Order 66
Revised Star Wars D20. Pbartender.
EXT. ASTEROID FIELD-DAY
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.
A vast sea of stars serves as the backdrop for the Main Title.
PAN DOWN to reveal hundreds of small asteroids floating in the midst of deep space. A much larger asteroid drifts into view, and slowly spins to reveal a faintly glowing force field over the opening to a starfighter docking bay. Several TECHNICIANS service six Jedi Starfighters and one large Assault Shuttle.
INT. ASTEROID FIELD-STARFIGHTER BASE-COMMAND CENTER-DAY
CLONE TROOPER: Sir, we've just recieved a coded transmission from Coruscant over the hypercomm.
CLONE COMMANDER looks over the CLONE TROOPER'S shoulder at the display screen. He turns to a squad of CLONE TROOPERS gathered nearby.
CLONE COMMANDER: It's time. Execute Order Sixty-Six. This'll be dangerous, so let's not take any chances... Warm up the assault shuttle, have the starfighters prepared and pass the word for the Jedi. Ask them to report to the command center.
CLONE TROOPER: Yes, sir. Right away, sir.
A Revised Star Wars D20 adventure for up to six pre-generated 'gestalt' Jedi characters. No prior experience necessary.

Well, terrific. A local Big Bad with a yen for the bad sort of mojo has discovered the location of the tiny Hellmouth that makes your college town such an exciting place to live. Turns out he thinks he can use his mystic might to open the Hellmouth and become All-Powerful, as opposed to simply unleashing Hell on Earth. So, it's up to you and your fellow Chosen Warriors to stop him... ..if you could just remember where he is... ..who he is... ..who you are..... ....Aw, crap.

Slot 2
Game 1: Nine Lives
Cat RPG by John Wick. FCWesel.
The small apartment building on Galahad Lane sits on old ground. Tired ground. Some say, "Used up ground." Once upon a time terrible things did happen there. And that old ground, it remembers. And it needs. To the tenants of the small apartment building on Galahad Lane the place is just quirky or eccentirc...perhaps a bit this side of queer. To the Cats it's more. It's a war. That used up ground wants nine lives, and not from some measly felines.
No experience needed. Characters provided. Come ready for fun or not at all! (This system uses light mechanics at best and is all about the roleplaying, so I am looking for a bit more mature players for this. Please ask questions if you have any.) 4-6 players.

Game 2: Dark Champions: the Animated Series
HERO System. buzz.
Depending on whom you ask, crime in Hudson City originates either with its seedy underbelly, or it trickles down from its upper ranks. Either way, it's the good people in the middle (and there are good poeple in Hudson City, you just have look real hard) who get caught in the crossfire.
But, you... you've had enough. Be it an oath of vengeance or a call to duty, you've chosen to clean up these mean streets. No, you're not one of the HC's finest. You're a believer in an old saying: "Justice is like the hawk; sometimes, it must go hooded." Some call your type "caped crusaders"; others call you "vigilantes". More than you'd hoped just call you a criminal. No matter what the title, your job description stays the same: Stop the bad guys.
A HERO System adventure featuring the Dark Champions: The Animated Series sourcebook. Six players will take the role of costumed heroes fighintg a desperate battle against crime on the streets of Hudson City. Tone, power level, and moral outlook is in the vein of the Batman: the Animated Series show. Pregens will be provided, and rules will be taught. Have some d6's handy.

This will be an improv driven adventure where the encounters and plot will revolve around several decks of event cards from which the GM and the players will draw.

So, come on and watch the GM squirm as his plot is ripped to shreds by the luck of the draw!
