Upcoming cons: Anonycon, Dec 6-8, in CT

[Piratecat]

I'll be DMing at one of my favorite local gaming conventions. Anonycon (www.anonycon.com) is in Stamford CT on Dec. 6-8th, easy driving from anywhere in the northeast US. This is one of my favorites; run by good friends (and excellent gamers!), with top-notch games, a reasonable price, and a friendly atmosphere. Heck, even the hotel is good (ConnCon is run at the same place.)

So plan to join me! As of now, I'll be running....

Friday night: King and Company (D&D3e)
Sat morning: Travelers in the Hebrides (CoC)
Sat afternoon: King and Company (D&D3e)
Sat night: Travelers in the Hebrides (CoC)
Sun morning: 2nd round of King and Country (D&D3e)
Sun afternoon: Wolfpack (D&D3e)


For King and Company
The Western Mountain Company is trying to cover something up. You all want to know what, some of you out of loyalty to the Princess of Aalterdam, others because of your loyalty to your own merchant company. It's a good thing that you're all working towards the same goals here. Second round only open to winners of first round; prizes awarded to winner of second round.

Travelers in the Hebrides (CoC)
Summer, 1588. The Spanish Armada has sailed to bring an end to the heresy of England. But now your ship has foundered north of Scotland, forcing the six of you ashore on a remote island. And nothing on this island is quite what it seems.

Wolfpack
Six brothers, recently reunited, must save the wolves of the Rickpin Forest. Someone, or something, is killing the noble animals, and for all the power of the local magic schools, no one knows the answer. These brothers must face their destiny together, or else face the wrath of their grandfather! A follow-up to Magic School, Things Worth Fighting For, and Free Will.

Cool! Thanks for the heads-up, PC.
For all of us who've read your story hour, shook our heads in disbelief, and said "I'd love to run in one of Piratecat's games" here's our chance. Woohoo!
It looks like the info on the Anonycon website is out-of-date, though...I couldn't find schedule information for the CoC adventure, or the Wolfpack one.

 

[Piratecat]

Nope, it's right there! Look under schedule or pre-reg form for the slot times -

Slot 1 8PM FRI
Slot 2 10AM SAT
Slot 3 3PM SAT
Slot 4 8PM SAT
Slot 5 10AM SUN
Slot 6 3PM SUN

And under Schedule for what games are playing when. For instance, you'll see that the CoC plays in slots 2 and 4, and Wolfpack in slot 2 and 6. This information is also listed under the individual game descriptions.

I hope you come! It'd be great fun to get some EN World gamers into my games.

 

[Bill Muench]

Hmm, maybe I'll show up and make you buy me drinks and steal all your jokes again... Nah. I think I'm taking December off.

Anyways, a further plug for Anonycon is that Weekend in Bissel, the Living Greyhawk con, is being run as part of the convention. So show up and kill some Ketites! Er, I mean, welcome them with open arms!

 

[John Crichton]

Wow, that's really close to me...

I'm there.

 

[Blood Jester]

My pre-reg would already be in the mail if the printer weren't plooey!

 

[Goose]

Wish a convention would come up here to Anchorage, never been to one. Think it would be pretty damn fun. Grew up in CT, to bad im not there now

 

[Rugger]

So it looks like we won't hear the *Thwang!* of a shovel on enemies skulls at Anonycon, P-Cat?

It was very cool to actually meet you at Carnage...we'll be laughing about all the "hoe" jokes for a long time! (What's that, Eric's Grandma? You think we're talking about women of loose morals? Nooooo...we are talking about garden-tools! Seriously!)

So I gotta jump on your bandwagon here and promote Weekend In Bissel 2, hosted by Anonycon!

6 Slots worth of *NEW* Living Greyhawk Bissel Scenario Premieres, including an Interactive...AND there is a competition for the best team of players who go through all 3 new scenarios. The best team get FREE hotel and admission to Anonycon/Weekend in Bissel 2003!! Beat that with a stick!

Here's the Scenarios:

LG1 The Bodkin (BIS2-04) Premiere!
By: Michael Chase, Steven Conforti
Suspicious that lands in Bissel have changed hands, during or since the war with Ket, without appropriate taxation being levied, Gilys Gildeferre, the Revenuer General of Bissel, has ordered all of his clerks to reexamine the official tax rolls for the past 250 years. One of his clerks recently discovered an item of interest, a grant of land high in the Barrier Peaks. What dangers might lurk high in the mountains for those sent to investigate this property?


LG2 All That Withers (BIS2-05) Premiere!
By: Kevin Hogan
A patrol of the Fetid Fens a few months back revealed an ancient Flan village that was tainted by a cult of Kyuss ages ago. To ensure the evil was vanquished, the local baron, Thoeder Cullen, ordered regular patrols of the area. The latest patrol never returned from the fens. A group of heroes sent by the baron to investigate the disappearance are also missing. Will you investigate the Fens and bring back any survivors?

LG3 Chasing the Crown (BIS2-06) Premiere!
By: Steven Conforti
Visiting Pellak to enjoy the March of the Valorous Knight, an annual festival to Heironeous, you hope to catch a glimpse of the Margrave himself when he marches in the parade. Nearby shouts lead you to the scene of a robbery that could have grave repercussions on the festival. Can you recover the stolen object before it is too late?

LGI A Baron's Fate (BIS2-INT) Premiere!
By: Bissel Triad
Baron Steich Valiserat was the military advisor to the former Margrave, Walgar. A master at the longsword as well as a brilliant military tactician, Steich kept the Ketite forces bottled up in his barony for most of the war until he mysteriously disappeared one night. His subjects fear him kidnapped by the Ketites, and possibly dead, but no one has been able to locate him, even with divination magic. But a recent discovery may finally reveal his fate. Will you help find the baron? This interactive counts towards Bissel military requirements. It is 1 part dungeon crawl and 1 part battle interactive.


Ok...I'm done pimping Hope to see some of you there!

[mearls]

It looks like I'll be at Anonycon, too, though I'll be spending most of the weekend playing Magic and running Greyhawk events. I'm not exactly sure what my schedule looks like yet.

 

[Rugger]

Bump!

So you mean to tell me that Piratecat, Mearls, Blood Jester, F5, John Crichton, and myself are gonna be the ONLY EnWorlders enjoying a great Con and the oh-so-conveniently placed bar in the middle of it?

For shame! We know there's more folks in that area of the world...Give in to the temptation...
