Cool! Any initial thoughts? An excerpt from an existing module? Something of your own?

Hey Chainsaw, one of my own. I am doing prep work now for my upcoming AS&SOH campaign which will begin in early 2018 when I finish Gunderman's awesome SotDL campaign. I like the modules but thought I'd try something of my own making to see how it goes.

Hotel Reg opened today. gizmo and I will be at the Sheraton across the street from the convention hall.

MrManowar · 2/03/2018 7:51 pm

Hi Rich, I'm at the Sheraton also! Looking forward to another great Gamehole and more AS&SOH! Hope to see you there and catch up! But before that hope to see you at Gary Con. As always, look for the guy in the Manowar shirts, haha!

You bet, Brother!

I am 90% in... Looking for ride sharing from Michigan.... and/or room-mate... chime in if interested in either! Willing to meet 1/2 way in the chi-town or surrounding area. Driving 6 hours alone sucks after the 1st few hours!

Take the ferry! That will break up the drive.

Badge Reg is open. I submitted 2 events, both the same adventure, at 10AM-2PM and 4PM-8PM on thursday. This adventure will be an overhaul of my Onja Cot adventure I ran at GaryCon.

MrManowar · 6/24/2018 1:00 am

One game is accepted and that is "A Crow's Nest Upon Bleak Shores". If you are game then go for it! I'm looking at adding another game. Right now I have this session and a 2E AD&D game on the Kid's track for Gamehole. I ran 5E last year for the kids game, but after Evercon and experiences with my own kids, they seem to gravitate towards the old school stuff. YMMV.

M'Koth · 7/06/2018 7:09 am

I'll be there to get my Hyperborea on!

Chainsaw · 7/06/2018 2:02 pm

I'm jealous - you all will have a blast!

Ghul · 7/06/2018 4:26 pm

When you fellows are all confirmed, please let me know and I will turn up the signal through our social media to draw some great attention to your games. Thank you for representing! I'll be at Carnage, in Vermont for November. Cheers!

francisca · 7/07/2018 7:32 pm

Mine are confirmed. Thursday 10-2 and 4-8, I'll be running my re-tooled Onja Cot adventure I ran at Gary Con.

Ar'Pharazon · 7/09/2018 10:34 pm

Submitted and approved.

Thursday

8am - 12pm The Tablet of Gal - You’re recuperating from your most recent sojourn into the wildlands when a crazed looking person from Gal tracks you down, demanding someone from your party translate an ancient Hyperborean tablet. The tablet seemingly deals with an ancient site a few days outside of Gal and looks promising. No experience with =9.75ptAS&SH=11.0pt necessary. This adventure is for levels 3–5, pre-gens provided.

Friday
8am - 12pm The Jewels of Shuven - Your party has pooled its money together and bought the map of a long forgotten passageway underneath the ruins of a dæmon cult’s temple. The dæmon cult was wiped out generations ago and was known to have a few gems of great value. Buying the map seemed like a good idea at the time and besides, what could possibly go wrong? No experience with =9.75ptAS&SH=11pt necessary. Pre-gens for levels 3–4 provided.
6pm - 10pm Castle Amber - Castle Amber or Chateau d' Amberville. The classic X2 module reskinned for AS&SH. In the province of Averoigne, the House of Amber awaits! Levels 3-6, pregens will be provided. No experience is necessary. May go later than 4 hours..

Saturday
8am - 12pm The Tower of Larchmere Yys - Strange recent events have caused a near panic amongst the Apollonians of Larchmere Yys. Desperate, the local elders successfully begged your party to investigate these strange events, particularly an eldritch tower which has mysteriously appeared. With the logger who discovered the tower as your guide, you set off. No experience with =9.75ptAS&SH=11.0pt necessary. 2nd-level adventure, pre-gens provided.

6pm - 10pm The Chains of Minotaurios - Your last memory was drinking with an odd group of strangers and possibly an Ixian in Port Zangerios. You’ve woken to utter darkness, the smell of metal and sweat abound. The sounds of heavy breathing is coming from on both sides of you along with the muffled sounds of violence—cries of pain and the howls of a bestial cheering coming from above. No experience with =9.75ptAS&SH=11.0pt necessary. 1st-level adventure, pre-gens provided.

Got everything I wanted but one event, but found another great option in more or less the same time slot.

My morning adventure is all sold out, and the afternoon only has one ticket left, a mere 4 hours after event reg opened. I'm very humbled.

M'Koth · 8/12/2018 9:29 am

So excited! Got into a Hyperborea game each day! Thu: Dengines and Drayguns, Fri: Game of Spells, Sat: Tower of Larchmere Yys!

gizmomathboy · 8/12/2018 12:24 pm

Only got 1 of my initial wish list, but there were still plenty of stuff to choose from.

I got in on Francisca's afternoon game, I don't think there were any other Hyperborea games that fit my schedule.
