This is cross-posted from CM: Boston Gameday (a/k/a Barsoomcon 2): October 2nd ! - Circvs Maximvs
Barsoomcore is coming to town! Time for a gameday! We'll have one at Piratecat's T-accessible house in Newton on October 2, 2010. Please sign up here if you want to run a game. We can accommodate 4-5 games at once (game room / library / dining room / living room / back porch) (It's October....so weather permitting), so we'll need up to 8-10 games depending on how many players we get.
Directions can be found here!
There will be two gaming slots. One in the Morning and one in the Afternoon/Evening. I will update this thread as we get games.
Please post if you're interested in attending (and then stick it on your calendar!), and definitely post if you're willing to GM.
MORNING GAMES
Game 1: Alma Mater (Dresden Files) - Rodrigo Istalindir
FULL ACCEPTING ALTS
In fancy now, beneath the twilight gloom,
Come, let me lead thee o'er this "second Rome!"
Where tribunes rule, where dusky Davi bow,
And what was Goose-Creek once is Tiber now:
This embryo capital, where Fancy sees
Squares in morasses, obelisks in trees;
Which second-sighted seers, even now, adorn
With shrines unbuilt and heroes yet unborn.
Folklore has it that the Pierre L'Enfante, a Freemason, designed the city of Washington, D.C. around a series of Satanic symbols to assure the dominance of the New World Order. It's the granddaddy of conspiracy theories, and like most, contains a kernel of truth.
In reality, the Freemasons were puppets of the White Council, that august body of wizards tasked with keeping humanity safe from the things that lurk in the shadows. They recognized the role the nascent capital would play in the decades to come, and wove arcane protections into everything from the city streets to the oaths of office.
Today, the White Council's protections keep the vampire courts and the Nevernever factions from exercising direct control, but immortality has taught them patience, and they've had more than enough time to infiltrate the corridors of power. A supernatural Cold War exists between the Vampire Courts and the Nevernever, with the unsuspecting humans mere proxies in the struggle.
A cryptic note has called you back to the city, to the grounds of your alma mater, Georgetown University.
(Pregens provided, but I'd like to engage the players ahead of time via email or chat in rounding out the connections between them.)

Game 3: On the Rocks: Off the Wagon- Savage Worlds Explorer's Edition - FickleGM FULL ACCEPTING ALTS
It was a simple mission...just fly the package from Nexus to Misthaven...or so the crew of the Hard Liquor was led to believe. One encounter with sky pirates later and they have a hole in their hull, their steam engine is damaged and the package was last seen plummeting into the mists below. At least they repelled the pirates...
Their employer isn't the sort to tolerate failure, so it is up to Captain Morgan and his hard luck crew to brave the mists and recover the package. They will need more than luck to avoid mist demons, sky pirates and Nexian Imperials; let alone to locate the package, retrieve it and deliver it to its destination.

Infinite Crisis... Final Crisis.... Crisis on two worlds...

Game 3: 'The Seven Crypts of the Keepers' - 4e - Planescape game Zephrin the Lost
Once a year in The Hellgate Neighborhood of Sigil's Lower Ward, a strange door appears set in the doorway of a common house. This door leads to The Seven Vaults - a series of portals credited to the mysterious Keepers, but no one can truly say who first plumbed this nightmare passage. This door exists in Sigil for a only a few hours—and it leads to a special place near the heart of The Plain of Sighing Stones, the largest desert of the Shadowfell.
A cave in this desert holds a spring that seeps silver water, called 'Tears of the Raven Queen' If you peer into the water and concentrate, you can recall one soul from beyond death- a loved one, a comrade, a sibling, even an enemy you want to punish further. Getting through the Vaults is the surest way to find this hidden spring, and all your PC's want very much to find it. The Vaults were built to allow passage, but also to keep the wrong cutters out. Each Vault is a puzzle, and if you fail to solve it swiftly, you will end in this terrible halfway place, where even the Powers won’t know where to look for you.
This is a thinking person’s adventure, and if you come expecting to hack and slay, you may be unhappy, except for when hacking and slaying are called for
Please bring a 3rd level pc, any non-Dark Sun race & class, standard point buy, 1 fourth level magic item, 1 third and 1 second, as well as a reasonable amount of non-magic equipment and gear.
