Hey! Is it that time of year again already? Well yes it is! We've got the space, we've got the date, and this time we've got a sponsor!

When? February 24, 2007, from about 10 AM until 11 PM.

Where? Bookery Fantasy, one of the Friendliest LGSs I've ever seen, and located in Fairborn, Ohio just a hop and a skip from I-675, the bypass around Dayton, Ohio that connects I-75 and I-70.

What? Gaming, gaming, and more gaming! The Bookery has thirteen tables, all of which are ours for the taking. Plus, The Bookery's also one of the best comic and memorabilia stores in SW Ohio, and comic lovers might believe it worth the trip!



Here are some things you will want to know:
- There is no fee for this event, unless you want to count gas and food.
- Parts of the site are not wheelchair accessible; we've got two very large tables on the first floor which we'll likely use, as well as another 11 in the basement. The ones in the basement are accessible only via a set of stairs.
- We will be having three time slots - 10 to 2, 3 to 7, and 8 to 11:30. All times are approximates. The store itself opens at 9 AM, and you can expect to see retail traffic until about 9 PM.


Directions!

From Columbus (East):
Take 70 West to 675 South. Take 675 S to exit 22. Right onto Xenia Dr.

From Indiannapolis (West):

From Cincinnati (South):

you cross the railroad tracks. Turn left at the traffic light (just past
railroad tracks) onto East Dayton Drive. Go 1 block, bear right onto Main
Street. Follow Main Street 4 blocks (2 lights) past the intersection of
Main and Central. Look for Bookery Games on the right between Tickets Diner
and Yankee Peddler.



And now - THE GAMES

10:00 AM to 2:00 PM

Table 1 - The Broken Spire
GM: D'Shai
System: D&D 3.5
Synopsis: The war rages on, and the orcs are on the move again. Yet even now our diviners gaze into the Limestone Pools and find the resting place for ancient secrets which may yet grant us victory. Journey to a place once thought of as myth – the Broken Spire – and retrieve what you find.

What is that you say? That the Broken Spire is a matron’s tale? At one time, maybe, but this is no elf’s errand! Go now, for more rests on your success than you know…


Can six heroes of axe, hammer, stone, and steel unearth weapons laid to rest before history was first chiseled into stone? Find out as they race against time – and the champions of their most hated enemy – in a bid to regain the power of their forefathers. The Broken Spire is a tandem PvP game for six 7th level dwarves. Player vs. Player combat will play a part in this game.

GM: Enkhidu
System: D&D 3.5
Synopsis: The rockbiters cower behind their wide walls in the deeps, but their days are numbered. Our shamans have uncovered the trail of an ancient trove, one that will give us the power to crush the ‘biters beneath our heel. You six – the survivors of the Champion’s Pit – are all that remain of the hordes that thought they were worthy. But you slew them all, and now the glory is yours. Now go to the Cracked Citadel and take what is yours by right. Survive, and you will wear the war chiefs’ helm before the winter.

Yes, I know that the Citadel is a whelp’s dream! But if you don’t go I will wear your skin as a cape. GO!


Can six champions of sinew and tusk rip ancient treasures from the bones of the earth and take the war chiefs’ helm? Find out as they race against time – and the champions of their most hated enemy – in a bid to crush their foes once and for all. The Cracked Citadel is a tandem PvP game for six 7th level orcs.

So, start checking your calendars, your dice, and your DM's notes. Those wishing to run games should post early and often, for while we certainly won't run out of space, we might run out of players!

We'll see you there!

I should be able to make it.
I sent an e-mail notifying the rest of my group. I expect several of them should be able to make it as well.

Hello fellow Ohio gamers!

I'd be interested in getting back out to see everyone again this year. It's been challenging while juggling ever-increasing responsibilities with family. I've got this one scheduled on the calendar, and I'll be looking forward to it.

I have been working on a 3.5 edition module for possible publication (Dungeon or self-pub), that is built around being set up for 17th level! : ) I could run a snippet from that module, and would love the opportunity for a playtest. Let me know if there's any interest in such a thing.

I would like to attend.

I bet you would, but this event has standards. Admittedly, they're so low that a rot grub could probably get in (so everyone but d'shai is safe), but still. Standards.

Anyway, after the new year we'll start trolling for GMs, so if you want to run a game, Test, post away!
