As I did at Gary Con VIII, I'll be running "The Pit" from DUNGEON #17 three times in three different systems: AD&D, AS&SH, and CoC.

I'm local. I'll be running AS&SH games on Thursday night, Friday night, and Saturday night.

You should run an AS&SH game, rhialto! We could use an extra Saturday afternoon game.

It's at least an 8-hr. drive for me, so I'd probably have to drive up on Fri, game Sat then home Sun. That would require crack timing with my henchman, let me see what I can do.

Thanks, that could be interesting to try a couple of those (AS&SH and CoC).

Unless Dave really changes the adventure from one system to the next, I'd say you should pick one or the other. Dave?
 

Agreed. One should really only play the adventure once.

The characters could either actually travel from one milieu to another via gateways or (perhaps more interestingly) could be physically different reincarnations of the same souls.  So one character (or soul) might be a sorcerer in ancient Hyperborea, an antiquarian in the 1920's, and a sorcerer again in dying Hyperborea.  This would reflect a theme explored by Howard and Moorcock, among other writers of weird fantasy fiction, and would also make it irrelevant if a character had died in a previous session - they would simply reincarnate along with the others!

My pre-gens are essentially different versions of the same character: Herakleios Stone-Wolf the Kimmerian fighter becomes Harry Stone the American private eye.

Jeff Talanian's Events for Total Con 2017

HYPERBOREA: The Strange Tale of Crystal Point

THU  7PM

In the far reaches of Hyperborea's Crab Archipelago, lies a small, but mountainous island known as Crystal Point. Passing sailors have recently seen a crimson glow in Crystal Point's waters, beams of reddish-brown light shining up from its steep cliffs and unusually frequent lightning storms. Ariston Thalassa, an Atlantean sage in Khromarium, has heard these strange tales and approached your party with a promising explanation.

HYPERBOREA: The Anthropophagi of Xamboola

FRI 7PM  

Visitors to the desert-city of Xamboola beware! Demoniacal cachinnations and dull totemic drumbeats sound nocturnal from the outskirts of the city. Vile shrieks echo the nightmarish noises, making even those of heroic aspect shudder in repulsion. Residents do not tarry at sundown, locking themselves in their homes, for something sinister lingers in the black of night.
 
----------------------------

HYPERBOREA: The Sea-Wolf's Daughter

SAT 7PM
 
The player characters dine in the hall of a petty kinglet known as Björn Blackbeard. He has abducted Gunnhildr, the daughter of Ragnarr “The Sea-Wolf” (a Viking chieftain), and he intends to marry her. The young woman is somewhere in Blackbeard’s stronghold in Brigand’s Bay. She must be rescued. Meantime, some 40 bloodthirsty Vikings -- including Ragnarr himself -- lie in wait, hidden in a nearby gulch.

Sounds great! Wish I could make it and can't wait to hear how Crystal Point goes.

When is this getting published?  I'll run this at something!!!!

Will be attending for my first time.

Was able to get into The Sea-Wolf's Daughter and The Anthropophagi of Xamboola when I registered.

Went back in to add in more events and the system booted me from The Anthropophagi of Xamboola. Argh!

Also snagged a seat for Prata's The Pit on Friday afternoon.

Looking forward to gaming with you!
 

Lovely! Madness and mayhem for all!
