polka dot Speedos notwithstanding or standing o their own as they are, have

Count your lucky stars that you chose chariot races; the thought of

truly disturbing. Focus! At least your opponents only have whips and fangs,
and skilled driving will save you, if not your sun burned skin.

Drakon Gamemaster: Tom Jolly Time: Saturday 12:00 Length: 2 Hours Location: Pit D The old dragon Drakon has captured a brave band of adventurers who have sneaked into her lair to steal her gold. But rather than eat them immediately, Drakon has decided to make it a game: Greed shall set one of the adventurers free.

Dungeon Crawl Classics Portal Under The Stars Gamemaster: Joel Watkins Time: Friday 18:00 Length: 6 Hours Location: UU220 (RPG 7) Level: Level 0 Funnel
Experience Required: None
Characters: Pregen
Dungeon Crawl Classics is a heavy-metal flavored, streamlined version of 3E
For long years, you labored in the fields like all the peasants, sweating hot and dirty in the summer, only to shiver under threadbare hides when winter came. This year’s harvest ended like all the rest, and autumn’s work was hard on Old Man Roberts. When you visited his bedside at the end, he spoke in labored breaths of constellations that hadn't been seen since he was a young lad. The last time the Empty Star had risen in the sky, it was more than fifty winters past, he said. Under the light of that strange star a portal had opened by the old stone mounds. He’d seen jewels in there and fine steel spears and enameled armor, but he'd run when the iron men had attacked. Now, old and dying, he wishes he'd taken the chance on a life of adventure. The Empty Star is once more rising, and a young man with courage could be more than just another peasant – if only he'd take the chance Old Man Roberts hadn’t.
You're taking that chance. You stand before the monolithic rocks of the old stone mounds, under the dark light of a starry sky. The Empty Star is clear and bright above you. Three of the large stone blocks lean haphazardly together to form an upright rectangular portal about the size of a man. They seem to be placed directly beneath the star’s path. As the Empty Star ascends to its brightest point, its light catches in the portal, and a shimmering stonelined corridor is visible through the stones, but only from one side of the opening. Grasping your pitchfork with white knuckles, you step into the starlit portal which was not there before today, thoughts of jewels and scorching wheat fields foremost in your mind.
Dice: Zocchi Dice (d3, d5, d7, d14, d16, d24, d30) not required, but useful.

No signs of water or storm conjuration to explain it, but there are minute traces of transmutation magic mixed in the tumultuous debris of what used to be the city's dockside district.

the same name, which is a crossover of MLP: Friendship is Magic and the
Fallout universe. While knowledge of either universe is helpful, it's not
required. System not recommended for younger gamers, as the universe has
very grim-dark overtones.
Other ponies call you scavengers, thieves, or bandits, but personally, you
like to think of yourselves as treasure hunters. Your small band of
hunters has discovered a real pre-war treasure- a completely sealed,
un-opened Stable, and proceed to crack through the terminal to open the
door. These monoliths from before the war are sure to hold a vast array
of wealth and technology, yours for the taking... unless some pony else
beats you there first, that is, though this stable doesn't appear to have
been disturbed since the days when the bombs fell, in times long past. In
their quest for riches and loot, has your group opened a pandora's box?
And if so, will whatever demons lie in wait within the confines of the
abandoned Stable 17 leave your group of avid scavengers able to escape in
time to keep hope alive?

Gamemaster: Irish Bob Time: Sunday 10:00 Length: 4 Hours Location: UU217 B Maybe some dude from youth group talked you into boosting a case of motor oil, but now your cousin is dead in a swamp and you killed him. Maybe you and your girlfriend figured you could scare your wife into a divorce, but things went pear-shaped and now a gang of cranked-up Mexicans with latex gloves and a pit bull are looking for you.It seemed like such a good idea at the time. Fiasco is inspired by cinematic tales of small time capers gone disastrously wrong – inspired by films like Blood Simple, Fargo, The Way of the Gun, Burn After Reading, and A Simple Plan. You’ll play ordinary people with powerful ambition and poor impulse control. There will be big dreams and flawed execution. It won’t go well for them, to put it mildly, and in the end it will probably all go south in a glorious heap of jealousy, murder, and recrimination. Lives and reputations will be lost, painful wisdom will be gained, and if you are really lucky, your guy just might end up back where he started.

were defeated by human adventurers! All that remains of the tribe are its
four goblin "heroes"--Reta Bigbad the fighter, Chuffy Lickwound the rogue,
Poog the cleric of Zarongel, and Mogmurch the alchemist. Homeless and
bored, they left their swampy homeland to join the neighboring goblin
tribe, the Birdcrunchers.
The good news is that the Birdcrunchers are willing to let the goblin
heroes join their tribe.
The better news is that the Birdcrunchers have heard of these four, and
want one of them to become their new chieftain.
The bad news is that before the goblins can join, they'll need to endure a
series of dangerous and humiliating tests. Very dangerous. Very humiliating.
The worse news is that lately Birdcruncher chieftains have had really short
lifespans--they're being killed by the pet fire-breathing boar of a local
ogre who wants the Birdcruncher land as his own.
Can the four heroes of the now-dead Licktoad tribe save the Birdcrunchers
and, in so doing, become their new leaders?

Pathfinder A Pirate's Life for Me! (Skull and Shackles) Gamemaster: Sean Baird Time: Sunday 10:00 Length: 4 Hours Location: Stage (RPG 10) Ever thought about giving up the civilized life and hoisting the Black Flag instead? If so, then this is the game for you! Players will have a chance to start the beginning of the Skull and Shackles Adventure Path, . This non-traditional AP by Paizo, creator of Pathfinder, sees the player's press-ganged onto a pirate ship where they must learn to survive amongst scoundrels and scum on the high seas while living aboard the pirate ship Wormwood.
For those tired of running a goody two-shoes character, here is the perfect chance to explore the lower part of the alignment spectrum. Virtue and honesty are for landlubbers, not for those seeking glory and riches. Lie, cheat, steal, bribe and stab your way to freedom- and control of your own ship! This game is ideal for those experienced with the Pathfinder RPG system, as it rewards imagination and an ability to improvise. All necessary game materials will be provided, including pre-generated characters if needed, although players are encouraged to bring their own materials and pre-built characters (Paizo materials only please). Given time constraints, there will not be time to create characters at the start of the session. Also, life as a pirate is dangerous- those who want to bring their own characters are advised to bring more than one... just in case.

Send me an email if you have any questions: slopike@hotmail.com Warmachine Warcaster Thunderdome Gamemaster: Tyson Koch Time: Friday 18:00 Length: 4 Hours Location: Miniature B, Miniature C, Miniature D Warcaster Thunderdome is a 4-player format. Each player's army consists of three Warcasters/Warlocks from the same faction. Each Warcaster/Warlock choice can only ever bring one model to the table. No Halfjacks, no Keg Carrier, only one Coven member, Goreshade has no feat, etc. Yes, this makes some casters a bad choice in the format. The Warcasters are considered to share a battlegroup.
The field of play is 36″ on each side. Deployment zones are a 10″ bubble at each corner. There is a 12″ hill in the center of the board, and an 8″ impassable wall extends from the center of each edge toward the center of the board. Models cannot be healed and cannot regenerate power fields in any way. Once damage is inflicted, it cannot be removed.
Warlocks use the mechanics for Focus instead of Fury they gain their full Fury value at the start of the turn, and overcharge instead of transferring. Warcaster Thunderdome is intended to be a very fast format. While there are no timed turns per se, players should be punished with badgering and verbal abuse if they play slowly or waste time strategizing. Plan on your opponent's turn. When it's your go, GO!
I will have my bag of casters for WTB with me so almost ALL casters in the game will be available for you to use on a first come first serve bases for those that don't have all the casters they would like to play with.
Game will take two to four hours depending on the number of players. Beginners are welcome!
