[bq]What do a missing House Medani heir, a silver basilisk, a pirson caravan, Wildnight Festival, and Sharn's master inquisitive Victor Saint-Demain all have in common?

You.

Hit the mean streets of Eberron's City of Towers in this mystery-solving D&D adventure for 5th-level PCs. Characters will be provided. Expect equal parts investigation and combat.[/bq]

[bq]Mysterious strangers. Beautiful women. Enchanted swords. Talking camels. You play members of the Sultan's Court, whiling away the sultry nights by telling pointed stories to advance your own ambitions. Navigate the social maze and you could win your heart's desire; offend the wrong person and you suffer the Sultan's wrath.

Everything will be provided.
Flying carpets and magic lamps optional.

Morning Game 3: Social Climbers
D&D 3.5, Cerebral Paladin, private room
[imager]http://www.wizards.com/global/images/products_dndcore_175240000_lgpic.jpg[/imager]
[bq]The entourage of a landless noble faces difficult prospects-- little opportunity and less respect. Unless, of course, the noble can impress one of the great thanes or earls who could grant land, status, and prosperity. That's worth burying your differences and working together for, isn't it? A scenario with a mix of role-playing, adventure, and problem-solving for six pregenerated 6th-level characters. The setting of the game has an early medieval feel-- more Beowulf or the Mabinogian than high chivalry.[/bq]

Morning Game 4: Best Laid Lines of Demons and Men
Unisystem, Ninjacat
[imager]http://gameday.buzzmo.com/images/roadhouse.jpg[/imager]
[bq]Things are getting bad in the Midwest. Supernatural trouble has been increasing all across the board, with no distinct pattern anyone has been able to detect. It makes for good business at the Roadhouse, so many hunters passing through and in the area that Ellen has to make extra supply orders just to keep up, but the problem is that things seem to be getting worse, not better. When an old friend of the Winchesters calls from Kansas saying there's big trouble on the way, it's the only lead that's available...

Best Laid Lines of Demons and Men is a Unisystem adventure for up to six players in the setting of the CW's "Supernatural" television show. Thirteen pre-generated characters will be available to choose from, including some from the show (sorry, none of the Winchesters are player characters, nor is Ellen.) Unisystem is a simple system to learn and use, needing only 1d10 for all rolls other than damage. No familiarity with the Supernatural tv show is needed -though it might well prove useful. All you need to know is that ghosts, demons, hauntings, possession, etc. are real, and some people fight back against the supernatural. Saving people, hunting things...

If you'd care to choose a character ahead of time, leave a post with your choice on the sign-up thread. Keep in mind, these descriptions are how the characters appear in the Roadhouse. Many have secrets, things are not always what they seem, and appearances can be deceiving...

Morning Game 5: No Child Left Behind
Star Wars Saga Edition, sw3333
[imager]http://www.wizards.com/global/images/starwars_article_rpgsagaed_pic1_en.jpg[/imager]
[bq]This whole Empire thing is not going very well for, shall we say, legitimate businessmen. Four months since the Jedi attack on the Supreme Chancellor, so the story goes, Captain Toby Chamberlain and his crew have found clients scarce and profits dwindling for their “shipping” business.

However, they have been approached with an interesting proposition. An underground group sympathetic to the old Republic is willing to talk about a contract for the safe shipment of some live cargo. Apparently, this group has located a 13-year-old Padawan being held captive in the Outer Rim. Delivery of this cargo would yield a seven-figure payment. It’s dangerous, it’s difficult, but it’s a lot of credits.

Characters will be provided; role-playing will be emphasized. [/bq]

Morning Game 6: McGuffin
Shadowrun 4e, Dfranco83
[imager]http://www.shadowrun4.com/gfx/covers/cat26000.jpg[/imager]
[bq]Freelance Businessman Turkish Israel has picked this team based on their reputations and professionalism. His employer needs a black suitcase held onto for a week and afterwards delivered to a church.

What is Shadowrun without Guns, Broads, Booze, and Spells. There is a healthy mix of Role Playing, Combat and creative thinking. The characters are pregenerated using standard 400 BP rules. The characters will be known by their Street Alias.

Wildcard - Human Leader
Black Hammer- Dwarven Technomancer
Patriot - Elven Street Samurai
Stuntman Kain - Ork Transporter
McKenna - Human Mage
Walker - Human Covert Ops Adept

D&D 3.5, Mark, tall table in back
[imager]http://www.wizards.com/global/images/products_dndcore_175240000_lgpic.jpg[/imager]
[bq]The pass held by the Ironbeard clan has protected the southern lands for centuries but now the Onyx Citadel is under attack and must be defended at all costs. If the citadel falls, then civilization as we know it will be plunged into war.

The Onyx Citadel is a d20-based minis scenario (not DDM) for five players who will each take on the role of five dwarf siblings, the second tier of leadership charged with the defense of the pass.

Some (D&D/d20) experience required.[/bq]

Afternoon events

[h2]Slot 2: Afternoon[/h2]
Afternoon Game 1: Sold into Slavery
D&D 3.5, Mark, private room
[imager]http://www.wizards.com/global/images/products_dndcore_175240000_lgpic.jpg[/imager]
[bq]The surviving members of the Ironbeard clan have returned to from their posting to the Onyx Citadel. Unfortunately, their homes were on the war torn side of the pass, so win or lose they expected some familial losses at home. Sadly, some clan members have been taken back to the northern mountains to be used as slaves in the silver mines. A rescue attempt must be mounted immediately to ensure as many can be brought back alive as possible.

Sold into Slavery is a 7th-level D&D/d20 scenario for five players. Players from slot who also sign up for slot two might be able to continue with their same character.

Some (D&D/d20) experience required.[/bq]

Afternoon Game 2: Dark Blade Rising
D&D 3.5, Vyvyan Basterd
[imager]http://www.wizards.com/global/images/products_dndacc_953787200_lgpic.jpg[/imager]
[bq]Hidden away in the Barrier Peaks, a secret society practices a martial path unknown to most of the Flanaess. Here, in the Temple of Nine Swords, the elders of the Sublime Way seek to train trustworthy followers to fight against the evils of the world. They gather weapons of great legacy to aid them in this battle. A recent foray into the mountain of the white plume recently turned up a weapon of unspeakable evil. A black blade created with the singular purpose to devour souls. The elders sent operatives scouting for a means to destroy the blade. One returned with news of a strange metallic fortress buried in the peaks to the north. A team of initiates was sent to find a way to destroy the blade within the alien fortress. But something foul has befallen the scout, an unimaginable event and the elders fear the worst. You have been called upon to ensure the blade has not fallen into the hands of evil. You’ve witnessed the power of your enemy, what they did to your brethren and you know that this evil must be stopped.

This event uses the Tome of Battle: Book of Nine Swords expansion. Familiarity with the rules is helpful but not required. 17th-level pre-generated characters will be provided and available for review before the event. Please choose a character when you sign up.

Lachet of the Desert Wind – Jade Phoenix Mage
Medid, Devoted of Wee Jas – Ruby Knight Vindicator
Sihol of the Diamond Mind – Eternal Blade
Dokhum of the Iron Heart – Bloodstorm Blade
Tulan Seine – Shadow Sun Ninja
Raphek of the Stone Dragon – Deepstone Sentinel
Nequill of the Tiger Claw – Bloodclaw Master
Wiston the White – Master of Nine[/bq]

Afternoon Game 3: ApoKERMIS Now!
Ghostbusters RPG, TracerBullet42
[imager]http://gameday.buzzmo.com/images/ghostbusters.jpg[/imager]
[bq]Long before the rise and fall of the Third Reich, long before the rise and fall of the House of Usher, long before even the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, history and literature both ignored the rise and fall of ancient Lonibabia, the nation that partied itself into oblivion.

But deadly prophecy remains, and fulfillment seems horribly near at hand. Is this the Fall of Civilization? Or can the Ghostbusters gate-crash the world's last bash?

Gee, I hope so!

ApoKERMIS Now is an adventure for up to six busters of ghosts who reign at the Mount Prospect Ghostbusters Station...conveniently located across the street from Games Plus. It uses West End's D6 Ghostbusters system. It is extremely easy to learn, so no experience is necessary. Characters will be created at the beginning of the session if you don't happen to have already made one. (Again, extremely easy.)[/bq]

Afternoon Game 4: Hero's Banner
Hero's Banner, Tim C Koppang
[imager]http://tckroleplaying.com/Heros_Banner_files/hb-website-banner.jpg[/imager]
[bq]The kingdom of Prodan is dying. The lands to the north are enjoying a period of prosperity and peace while the Prodans sink deeper into the depths of starvation and suffering. King Prodan's death left a power vacuum that has yet to be filled. The Queen is attempting to rule, but no one respects her. The Duke is plotting, but he is viewed by most as a villain. And where are the King's children? Brother and sister, loved by all——perhaps they could fill the void? Where have they been hiding since their father passed?

...

Hero’s Banner: The Fury of Free Will is a fantasy roleplaying game with a razor sharp premise and elegant mechanics to match. Every character is faced with a choice between three mutually exclusive and world-changing paths to glory. Which will he choose, and what will he forever give up to achieve his goals?

What’s more, Hero’s Banner supports multi-generational epic play. Each character is designed to last a single session. But the game can go on forever as you link one character to the next in a chain of heroes, each one idolizing the previous.

This game will focus on two characters played in two-player teams. The intent is to run the group through two generations of play so that everyone will have a sense of what Hero's Banner is like in longer-term play.

All players are welcome. No experience necessary.

Will you choose love, power, religion, allegiance, war, or betrayal? Will you become the next king, or leave your people to wallow in their misery?[/bq]

Afternoon Game 5: Wireless Memory Downgrade (WMD)
Paranoia XP, WJMacGuffin
[imager]http://www.mongoosepublishing.com/product_images/full_size/paranoiacover.jpg[/imager]
[bq]Rumors are treason because they’re always false. Take the rumor that an entire sector has been evacuated. If it were true, we have heard about it on the news. The rumor that vending machines and doors are killing people? Just plain silly. That so many Troubleshooter teams have died investigating the evacuated sector that The Computer is drafting regular citizens into new teams? That doesn’t even make sense. Well, I gotta run. Remember, rumors are treason!

Oh, I almost forgot! The Computer has drafted you into a new Troubleshooter team. I’m sure your mission will be safe and glamorous. Have fun!

-------------------------------------------------

PARANOIA is the best damn rpg ever! Do you really want to play D&D again? What is wrong with you? Drop the d4s and play a real game for ….

(Cut! Too inflammatory. Focus on the game’s strengths.)

PARANOIA is a darkly humorous science fiction rpg set in a dystopian future where you aren’t the hero—you don’t even matter! You don’t need to know any rules because it’s against the rules to know the rules! Your character will die multiple times because the GM hates you! Everyone will laugh as your character gets mangled repeatedly!

(Cut! Too, um, real. Try again.)

PARANOIA is fun. Other games are not-fun. Play PARANOIA.

(Eh, good enough.)

PCs:
Team Leader
Comm Officer
Equipment Guy
Happiness Officer
Loyalty Officer
Hygiene Officer
Medical Officer
