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!Join in a “Golden Age” style romp through an alternate history World War Two!

Yort5.6.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).-<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forums/showpost.php?p=1753884&postcount=17" target="_blank">Character creation rules can be found here</a>.

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.
