MD-VA-DC Game Day - 10/2/04: Crunch Time Approaches - Volunteers Needed!

[D'karr]

Game Event

I've started to plan the game for this event.

I am using "Lime" as my color, so those wanting to sign up for this game (once sign-ups are allowed) should use "Lime" as well.

DM: D'karr

SLOT: Morning

GAME: "Tendara - City of the Damned" - D&D 3.5 (Cthulhu Influence)

TEASER: A map and a key have been found. A scribbled note on the map pikes your interest, "the Eye of Evecor." Hidden within the depths of the Korrada Swamp lies the lost city of Tendara. Rumored to have once been the home of an ancient race, it now lies in ruins. Legends speak of the terrible horrors awakened on the "Night of the Whispering Winds". Perhaps these horrors caused its destruction. Perhaps they still occupy the city. The recently unveiled map and key offer the only hints to ever enter this elusive city. Rumors abound of the great treasures lying within the city. One rumor in particular is of significance, "Lost deep within the unplundered treasure vaults of Tendara lies the gem known as the Eye of Evecor..."

NUMBER OF PLAYERS: 4-6

NUMBER OF OPEN PLAYER SLOTS: 6

PC TYPES/LEVELS: Pre-generated characters of levels 6-7

GAME RATINGS (SCALE OF 1 - 10):

• Action = 8
• Role-Playing = 6
• Puzzles/Mystery = 7

MATURITY RATING: PG-13 (Due to some violence, Duh! LOL)

SPECIAL NOTES: This is a D&D 3.5 game with heavy influences from Call of Cthulhu.

Pregenerated characters will be provided. Bring your dice, a desire to play and a good attitude.

Familiarity with the 3.5 ruleset is recommended but not necessary.

I'm currently setup as a backup DM so availability of this adventure will be dependent on the final schedule. I plan on having a sequel for this adventure for the evening session but that will also be dependent on the final schedule.

DRM,

Can we set it up so that vendors (if any) just pay an honorarium/make a donations, which is used to pay for the room...so we don't have worry about money changing hands at the event period?

That would keep things nice and clean...

~ Old One

The vendors would still be selling items. That would require security.

GAME: "Escape from the City of the Damned" - D&D 3.5 (Cthulhu Influence)

TEASER: You have recovered the Eye of Evecor but nothing is as it seems. The sky shifts colors, a strong wind develops from the north and a loud shrieking howl pierces the silence of this stony hall. Is this what the ancients encountered on the "Night of the Whispering Wind?" After encountering countless horrors and besting them, is it possible you have awakened something that was never meant to be? Now you must escape from the City of the Damned before it is too late.

NUMBER OF PLAYERS: 4-6

NUMBER OF OPEN PLAYER SLOTS: 6

PC TYPES/LEVELS: Pre-generated characters of levels 7-8

MATURITY RATING: PG-13 (Due to some violence, Duh! LOL)

SPECIAL NOTES: This is a D&D 3.5 game with heavy influences from Call of Cthulhu.

GAME: The United Annual #1 "Boiling Over" - Mutants and Masterminds

TEASER: Regardless of anyone's personal feelings, nearly everyone agreed on one thing: the supernatural known as Glory kept the lid on the pot. Seemingly more powerful than any other supernatural on Earth, his constant vigilance mitigated the worst of supernatural threats. There's only one problem: he isn't around anymore. He and his satellite headquarters haven't been seen for days. In anticipation of the troubles to come, his grandson has formed the United, named for Glory's previous society of justice seekers. Made up of the descendants of supernaturals, they seek to hold the lid down, and live up to the legacies they've inheirited.
This is their first day on the job...

NUMBER OF PLAYERS: 4 to 6

NUMBER OF OPEN PLAYER SLOTS: 6

PC TYPES/LEVELS: Pre-generated characters PLs 10-12

GAME RATINGS (SCALE OF 1 - 10):

Action = 9 or 10 (four-color butt-kickin' mayhem!)
Role-Playing = 5
Puzzles/Mystery = 4

MATURITY RATING: PG-13 (Fantasy Violence, mild language - although this will certainly be kept appropriate to the ages of the players and those at the tables around us.)

SPECIAL NOTES: This is a four-color adaptation of my own world, set on present day Earth, but with superheroes (natch). All are welcome, regardless of experience with the ruleset. This adventure is intended to emulate the style of villian-packed annuals. Some story, but most of the roleplay will come from PC interaction, and the puzzle/mystery stuff is there to connect the fights.

GAME: Epic D&D 3.5

TEASER: The feather of truth and justice has been stolen from the Hall of Maat where the judgment of the dead is performed. The gods are silent as to who is responsible. With the feather of Maat goddess of truth gone, the souls of the dead can’t be judged and allowed to enter the fields of peace (afterlife). Now undead roam the world of the living and the demon Ammut, devourer of souls is lose causing death and destruction where ever she goes. It’s a race against time, to find the feather of truth and return it to the Hall of Maat before Ammut and the walking dead destroy civilization.



Part 1: The Black Pharaoh - Legends speak of an ancient pharaoh, dubbed the black pharaoh, who was gifted by a strange god with the ability to see into the future. This knowledge drove the Black Pharaoh mad, but before his death, it is whispered that he transcribed all future events on the walls of his tomb. If the tales of the Black Pharaoh are true, the answer to who stole the feather of truth will be painted on walls of the Black Pharaoh’s tomb for all to see. Does the tomb of the Black Pharaoh exist, and if so what kind of traps and guardians lie in wait? Will the Black Pharaoh’s mad ramblings identify who really stole the feather of truth? Can the characters stop the demon Ammut before she can devour every living soul?

Find out in the first of this two part adventure.
