Game 1: The Iron Heroes vs. The Isle of Dread
Iron Heroes d20 w/ Skull & Bones d20
Pbartender
[bq][imager]http://gameday.buzzmo.com/images/il.jpg[/imager]"We replenished our supplies, repaired the ship, and traded our remaining goods at native villages along the shores of several islands. Some villages were friendly, but others were hostile and the natives attacked on sight. I suspect the hostile villages were filled with cannibals... ...The villagers told us a tale about an ancient city in the central highland of the isle that was built by the same people who built the wall. The villagers call the builders 'the gods'... ...The inland city is rumored to be filled with treasure beyond imagining. In particular, I heard persistant tales concerning a great black pearl of 'the gods' that still remains in the inland city... ...the rumor of the black pearl may well be true."
This is an Iron Heroes d20 adventure using additional rules from the Skull & Bones supplement for up to six 7th-level pre-generated characters. No experience required, but familiarity with D&D 3.5 is helpful.

Game 2: Hero's Banner
Hero's Banner
Tim C Koppang (the author!)
[bq][imager]http://gameday.buzzmo.com/images/hbanner.jpg[/imager]In the fields of Uran a war of retaliation is brewing. A mere five years has past since King Uran drove his army into the land of Yinosh. The royalty that once was now lives in exile. Dissenters have risen from within the ranks of the conquered and now secretly plot a coup. Even from outside of the kingdom of Uran, house Ryeic has begun to push against the Uranians. Ryeic seeks both food for his people during the harsh winter months and revenge for the murder of his son-in-law. Whether by diplomacy or strength of arms, conflict will erupt.
Out of this turmoil, you will rise to power and fame. But how, and by what means will you take the glory you are destined for? Born a noble, the people all look to you as their savior. To abandon their cause is to abandon your past, your future, and your legacy. Your struggle, though, is one of internal pain. You have yet to face up to life, yet to make any decisions of consequence. But now is your time. Throw down the indecision of your youth.
You can see three paths in front of you, each one leading towards greatness. But you can choose only one. Will you seek a lasting peace via diplomacy and the church? Will you take to the battlefield and vanquish your enemies? Will you find love in the ranks of the dissenters? Or is there another way? These are only a sampling of the choices your character may have to face. Each character is charged with his own set of choices, personal to him or her.
What will you give up? What will you grab hold of? How will you settle the war in Uran? And how will you live with the consequences of your actions?
Everybody is welcome. I don't care if you've never heard of Hero's Banner before. Come give it a try. It's a grim fantasy game about the struggle to make a life-defining decision in a world filled with expectations and pressure. Who can't relate to that?[/bq]

His wrath lingers in one of the teeth lodged in the dead king's corpse, awaiting only the caress of the funeral pyre to awaken into something far worse than a dragon of flesh and bone.[/bq]

Game 5: The Taking of Giant's Reach, D&D 3.5, Mark CMG (private room)
[bq][imager]http://gameday.buzzmo.com/images/phb.jpg[/imager]Someone or something has taken up residence in the abandoned dwarven outpost known as Giant's Reach. Its proximity to the coastal town of Culwain's Coves, the lynchpin to trade between the Kingdom of Toeffrus with the Empire of Álfheim, require it be investigated and cleansed of any evil. You must not fail.
This is an original d20/OGL adventure from Creative Mountain Games that has yet to be published for up to six 9th-level pre-generated characters. Experience with characters of this level required as it is a difficult adventure. TPK is possible.[/bq]

Game 6: Pumpkin Patch Panic!
Ghostbusters RPG
TracerBullet42
[bq][imager]http://gameday.buzzmo.com/images/ghostbusters.jpg[/imager]Halloween Night -- when ghosts and spirts walk the earth in search of a Really Good Time. It's usually a busy night for the Ghostbusters as they get to deal with all kinds of paranormal perturbances. But this year ... things are going to be different. Now an ancient horror is rising from an unsuspecting pumpkin patch with one goal in mind -- perpetual Halloween, the holiday that lasts forever!
Pumpkin Patch Panic is an adventure for up to six busters of ghosts. 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. (Again, extremely easy.)
And I promise we won't run late and miss lunch or your money back![/bq]

Game 1: Fires Over Omac
Burning Empires
buzz (table by whiteboard)
[bq][imager]http://gameday.buzzmo.com/images/be.jpg[/imager]Omac is an inhospitable planetoid-sized hunk of ice orbiting S-421, the Kodiak System. No one would ever want to go or live there, if it weren't thickly veined with the precious ore Coltain, an essential element in the manufacture of Distortion Drives and thus vital to interstellar trade. So vital, in fact, that Baron Zdrajca must capture and secure her before his fleet can move on to higher profile targets. The hitch? Omac must be captured intact. She cannot be bombarded. She must be assaulted. A simple matter, usually, but Omac is peopled by a Kerrn anarchist syndicate and they have risen against the Baron. Now it's bloody fighting, poorly armed anarchists against the imperial assault troops.
You're playing the anarchists. Can you win this desperate fight to save your world and preserve your people's freedom? Or will Omac fall and your people be enslaved?
Buring Empires is Luke Crane's latest project—a mix of Chris Moeller's brilliant comic fiction, The Iron Empires, and Luke's own award-winning system, The Burning Wheel. This is a science fiction game like none other. Come and explore the mechanics that allow you to play out impassioned arguments and blazing firefights while simultaneously using macro maneuvers to determine the fate of your world.
No previous experience with Burning Empires or Burning Wheel is required. Beginners are welcome.[/bq]

Game 2: The Staff of the Seven Winds, D&D/Arcana Evolved, William Ronald
[bq][imager]http://gameday.buzzmo.com/images/ae.jpg[/imager]You and your allies have been asked to retrieve the Staff of the Seven Winds from its resting place. In the past, your allies have helped retrieve other ancient items in your efforts to help fight a war against a red dragon and its minions. Can you recover the Staff of the Seven Winds before your enemies do so? An adventure for 11th level pre-generated characters drawn from the D&D 3.5 rules and Monte Cook's Arcana Evolved.
This event is designed for six players (with room for additional players). No prior experience with Arcana Evolved is required, just a basic knowledge of the D20 of D&D 3.0 or 3.5 rules. (Explantion of any of the rules will be provided as needed.)[/bq]

Game 3: Gaming Open Table, Mark CMG
[bq][imager]http://static.flickr.com/70/159593348_807eeb8b8d_s.jpg[/imager]"I can either run an open adventure if the turnout warrants it or we can use it for board games or even something else. I think thalmin had Zombies and I have a couple of other games I can bring, like RuneBound and Tom Jolly's Camelot. Leave it without sign up seats, though, as I think it would be best just to have it as a less formal affair, if we can."[/bq]
Open seating!
Game 4: The Unlucky Dragon, Feng Shui Trevalon Moonleirion
[bq][imager]http://gameday.buzzmo.com/images/feng.jpg[/imager]A creaky old tour bus picking you up and getting you out of the driving rain in San Francisco's Chinatown is by far the best thing to happen to you today. To say that you've been down on your luck lately is a pretty big understatement, but perhaps a ride with the Lucky Dragon Tour Company to the driver's restaurant will bring you some luck. But why do you feel like you're being watched? What was that out of the corner of your eye? And why are so many people dressed in black today?
You aren't the only people headed for the Lucky Dragon, and it seems that there's more than meets the eye to this restaurant.
Come join the fun as a cast of six action movie stereotypes perform stunts that would make Jet Li blush in a quest to stop an evil sorceror from obtaining the final piece of a deadly artifact. Feng Shui is a rediculously simple game system, so beginners are more than welcome. Bring two differently colored six-sided dice, a pencil, and your imagination. The wilder the stunts, the more fun it is for everyone.
And remember, the worst thing that can happen to you in Feng Shui isn't death... It's looking bad.[/bq]

Game 6: Excuse Me, But I Believe I Ordered the Pinapple Special, D&D 3.5, TracerBullet42 (private room)
[bq][imager]http://gameday.buzzmo.com/images/phb.jpg[/imager]It has been nearly three months since our band of heroes attended King Dagmar's wedding and stopped the evil necromancer (in quite an impressive fashion, no less), saving the kingdom from certain doom. Dagmar, for good reason, was extremely grateful and provided very charitable gifts to all those involved.
One gift, in particular, was especially loved. The gift of land. Land upon which a wonderful restaurant could be built! It is now time for the grand opening of the Tonga Room, and Wilimac and Bilimac Harbuckle have their hands full getting everything together for the big day.
Naturally, the whole gang shows up in the crowd for opening night. And crowded it is. Word of the culinary expertise and heroic stories has drawn in people from every direction. But what happens when a rich nobleman from the "savage north" shows up with an offer and a promise of magic more powerful than anything they've ever seen? Will the gang take him up on it? (Of course they will.) Are there strings attached? (Of course there are.) Is it worth it? (One would hope so.)
Excuse Me, But I Believe I Ordered the Pinapple Special is a D&D 3.5 adventure that follows up on the previous gamedays "The Runaway Bride" and "The King's Wedding Day (Or Should I Say Deadding Day...Is that McBain-y Enough For You?)" though it is not necessary for you to have played in them. This adventure is designed with love and care for up to six players (although there will be eight characters to choose from). We will be using some of the alternate rules from Unearthed Arcana, including the facing rules. (Don't worry, they're easy, and I'm not an ogre about it.) No previous experience is necessary, as I can teach you the rules as we play. Just bring some dice and a willingness to have a little fun.
"... and be at the last table still playing at the end of the night while everone else is waiting to close up!" -rvalle[/bq]

[IMaGel]http://www.hinterwelt.com/images/IridiumLiteRound90.gif[/IMaGel]Contact has been lost with the Dan Leiss Air Force Base that was performing research on an alternative Genesis Serum. The base is located just outside the small community of Fruitdale, SD. The cover story is in place and as operatives of the M.A.S. (Meta-human Administration Services) your team is being sent into to investigate and neutralize the situation. Only with your unique combination of training, powers and resources will this nightmare be brought to an end. It is up to you and your team now!
This game uses the Iridium Lite System. I will have 6 pregenned characters, large color maps and the adventure. ILS is a SKILL + STAT + APTITUDE system which then gives you a target number to roll under. It is quick to pick up and run with. You will need a full set of dice.[/bq]

Game 3: Gaming Open Table, Mark CMG
[bq][imager]http://static.flickr.com/70/159593348_807eeb8b8d_s.jpg[/imager]"I can either run an open adventure if the turnout warrants it or we can use it for board games or even something else. I think thalmin had Zombies and I have a couple of other games I can bring, like RuneBound and Tom Jolly's Camelot. Leave it without sign up seats, though, as I think it would be best just to have it as a less formal affair, if we can."[/bq]
Open seating!
Game 4: The Unlucky Dragon, Feng Shui Trevalon Moonleirion
[bq][imager]http://gameday.buzzmo.com/images/feng.jpg[/imager]A creaky old tour bus picking you up and getting you out of the driving rain in San Francisco's Chinatown is by far the best thing to happen to you today. To say that you've been down on your luck lately is a pretty big understatement, but perhaps a ride with the Lucky Dragon Tour Company to the driver's restaurant will bring you some luck. But why do you feel like you're being watched? What was that out of the corner of your eye? And why are so many people dressed in black today?
You aren't the only people headed for the Lucky Dragon, and it seems that there's more than meets the eye to this restaurant.
Come join the fun as a cast of six action movie stereotypes perform stunts that would make Jet Li blush in a quest to stop an evil sorceror from obtaining the final piece of a deadly artifact. Feng Shui is a rediculously simple game system, so beginners are more than welcome. Bring two differently colored six-sided dice, a pencil, and your imagination. The wilder the stunts, the more fun it is for everyone.
And remember, the worst thing that can happen to you in Feng Shui isn't death... It's looking bad.[/bq]

Game 6: Excuse Me, But I Believe I Ordered the Pinapple Special, D&D 3.5, TracerBullet42 (private room)
[bq][imager]http://gameday.buzzmo.com/images/phb.jpg[/imager]It has been nearly three months since our band of heroes attended King Dagmar's wedding and stopped the evil necromancer (in quite an impressive fashion, no less), saving the kingdom from certain doom. Dagmar, for good reason, was extremely grateful and provided very charitable gifts to all those involved.
One gift, in particular, was especially loved. The gift of land. Land upon which a wonderful restaurant could be built! It is now time for the grand opening of the Tonga Room, and Wilimac and Bilimac Harbuckle have their hands full getting everything together for the big day.
Naturally, the whole gang shows up in the crowd for opening night. And crowded it is. Word of the culinary expertise and heroic stories has drawn in people from every direction. But what happens when a rich nobleman from the "savage north" shows up with an offer and a promise of magic more powerful than anything they've ever seen? Will the gang take him up on it? (Of course they will.) Are there strings attached? (Of course there are.) Is it worth it? (One would hope so.)
Excuse Me, But I Believe I Ordered the Pinapple Special is a D&D 3.5 adventure that follows up on the previous gamedays "The Runaway Bride" and "The King's Wedding Day (Or Should I Say Deadding Day...Is that McBain-y Enough For You?)" though it is not necessary for you to have played in them. This adventure is designed with love and care for up to six players (although there will be eight characters to choose from). We will be using some of the alternate rules from Unearthed Arcana, including the facing rules. (Don't worry, they're easy, and I'm not an ogre about it.) No previous experience is necessary, as I can teach you the rules as we play. Just bring some dice and a willingness to have a little fun.

Game 7: Crisis In Fruitdale, SD
Supers, Inc (Iridium Lite)
HinterWelt (a.k.a. Bill Corrie, the author!)
[bq][IMaGer]http://www.hinterwelt.com/images/supers/SupersCoverfront200.gif[/IMaGer]
[IMaGel]http://www.hinterwelt.com/images/IridiumLiteRound90.gif[/IMaGel]Contact has been lost with the Dan Leiss Air Force Base that was performing research on an alternative Genesis Serum. The base is located just outside the small community of Fruitdale, SD. The cover story is in place and as operatives of the M.A.S. (Meta-human Administration Services) your team is being sent into to investigate and neutralize the situation. Only with your unique combination of training, powers and resources will this nightmare be brought to an end. It is up to you and your team now!
This game uses the Iridium Lite System. I will have 6 pregenned characters, large color maps and the adventure. ILS is a SKILL + STAT + APTITUDE system which then gives you a target number to roll under. It is quick to pick up and run with. You will need a full set of dice.[/bq]
