Game 3: Allied Avengers Assemble
(Silver Age Sentinels d20; run by Reidzilla)
Summary - During the conclusion of the 19th century, strange reports began to appear across the world of people who could crush boulders barehanded, lift trains over their heads, and even fly through the air like a bird! None of these reported sightings were ever given much credence until the emergence of super-humans during World War One. Since that time, several exceptional people have come forward and revealed their unique abilities in the to protect the innocent, to up hold the ideals of their nation, or for profit and fame. With Germany’s declaration of war upon the world and Hitler’s unveiling of his Ueberstahl armored vehicles and troops, Great Britain has called upon the heroes of the Allied nations to fight for freedom!

Game 4: Slaughter House! v3.0
(D&D 3.0 ed core rule set, D&D Miniatures variant war game, up to 4 players; run by GORAK)
Summary - Long ago, an ancient and powerful evil god called Vecna created a dark and mysterious dungeon of death and madness for his own experiments and bemusement as a sort of trial for would-be heroes who dared to oppose him. Hidden somewhere within its dark and foreboding halls and passageways, multi-dimensional rooms and endless shadows is the source of great power and reward for those brave, skillful and lucky enough to survive its many deadly and nightmarish denizens, traps and unknown secrets. Many forgotten heroes and foolish adventurers have dared to venture into this nightmare realm and legend speaks of few, if any, who survived its perils to find the light of day.
Ancient tales whisper of an old story about secret invitations presented by a mysterious figured cloaked in black wielding a torch of Dark Fire. It goes on to say that this mysterious messenger seeks out four champions who oppose Death and offers a cryptic invitation to participate in a dark tournament. The prize is said to be great power and reward to the one who can emerge victorious over the darkness and find the light of day. The invitation is then sealed in the challenger's blood as he vanishes from this world to confront his fate.
Your strange dream seems to slowly dissipate as you are rustled out of slumber by a slow methodical knock at your front door. As you slowly clamber out of your bed, a cold and deeply frightening premonition grips your heart as you wonder just who could be knocking on your door at this hour of the night!
Slaughter House! v3.0 is a turn based D&D Miniatures variant board game with up to 4 players. It is a game that I created using traditional 3.0 D&D core rules with D&D Miniatures and Hack Master variant rules with heavy themes and some rule variations from the original Guantlet video game fused into an exciting, fun and fast paced battle royale. Players begin in one of the 4 corners of the dungeon exploring various rooms and passageways battling monsters and other players while accumulating experience and power along the way. A prize will be awarded to the winner! (most experience points).
-Character creation rules can be found here. Other Slaughter House! game rules will be provided at event. Players are encouraged to bring their own set of D&D dice, a copy of the 3rd ed D&D Player's Handbook and Dungeon Master's guide to event.

Game 5: Minis painting seminar
(KnowTheToe & Nikmal)
Summary - Learn the basics or fine-tune your skills. We will be providing the option of painting Reaper miniature 2758: Stern Kestrelmann, Paladin by Werner Klocke as a group. This miniature has well defined hair, a chiseled face, armor, sword, boots, cloak and a gem. He will allow us to cover a huge spectrum of options.
We will provide a “How To” sheet discussing the techniques and options used in painting as well as answering any questions you may have (to the best of our ability). We will provide a prepped and primed Stern miniature for each participant interested. I will also bring copies of My Painting Binder burned onto CD.

Game 6: Eye of the Needle
(Arcana Unearthed; run by Jaws)
Summary - Six experienced players will use pre-generated 5th-level characters. (I might allow people to bring their own characters but their compatibility and/or possible death is what they will have to deal with.)
The Countess of Menshyre’s daughter Evina lies dying in Sormere of a slow, wasting illness. The family believes that it was sent by a powerful and ancient foe, Vulthas, the Lord of Dark Flames. Skilled akashics hired by the family delved deep into the Akashic Memory and found a record of this happening once before. The cure for this plague may be found in records lost in the wild northlands. The family asked the PCs to recover the first of three akashic memory stones, the Treasures of the Soan.
Are they ready for the challenge of recovering the first of the Treasures?

Game 1: This Modern Jungle
(ANGEL/BUFFY RPG; run by FCWesel)
Summary - Not too long ago... Chicago, Illinois. Something has begun to hunt in the alleyways and shadow-filled nights of the Windy City. When an ancient darkness awakens in a new jungle who can hunt the hunters?
"This Modern Jungle" is a Angel/Buffy game that can be played by those who have never seen a episode of the shows, much less played the RPG. I will not be using the Angel or Buffy TV Show characters but instead will provide custom characters made for this episode as per the Book's rules. You don't have to bring a thing but a desire to have some cinematic action/horror fun! Rules taught as we play...not that there's that many to begin with, mind you!
Rules Taught and Characters Provided.

Game 2: Till death due us part...
(D&D 3.0/Oriental Adventures; run by Reidzilla; same table from slot 1)
Summary - The wedding of a young nobleman is a time of joy for the entire community but, not in the village of Xian Hue. Strange events have followed the wedding at the Great house of Yuag Te family: the processional cart and entourage were found abandoned halfway to the village from the estate, the wedding guests have yet to return, and eerie sounds drift across the paddies from the estate every night. With the village in the grip of terror, the local magistrate has put out that call for a band of monster hunters to come discover the fate of the Yuag Te family.
Join in a mythic Chinese adventure! 7th level characters will be provided.

Game 3: The Great Train Robbery
(D&D/Eberron; run by Halma; private room)
Summary - “All aboard! The electric rail is leaving the station!” The remaining passengers run to catch the train. A shadowy figure watches the final passengers get on the train. Then the figure moves to the end of the line, slips between the cars, and mumbles an incantation. An extra-planer rift opens up and the shadowy figure slips into it comfortably. The train begins to move down the line, starting out slowly and then picking up speed. Silently moving along the electric rail to it’s destination…. Or will it?
I will provide the PC’s for a heist mission. They will be a balance of characters and I will leave only 4-6 positions open for this spot. This will be set in Eberron, and will of course take place on the Electric rail line.
