We're all hoping you can make it, Chainsaw, but if the travel is too maddening and your schedule is too tight, it is not the last convention!

Here is a quick update of games being run by folks on the board. Corrections and additions would be appreciated!
Thursday: Ghul (1), mabon5127 (2)
Friday: DMPrata (1), Ghul (1), mabon5127 (2)
Saturday: Ghul (1)
Unscheduled: SavageGM (1), lige (1), Handy Haversack (1)
That's 11 games under the ASSH banner, not too bad!

My adventure will be for 5 characters of level 3. It's called "No Warmth from the Gold". I haven't decided dates and times yet but I will run it twice.

No Warmth from the Gold
An object blazes across the Gal night sky and lands somewhere in the distant hills. The group of adventures are hired to find the object and return it to an esteemed scholar who wishes to add it to his growing collection. This simple journey to retrieve a strange object turns into a story of tragic love lost, otherworldly beings, inhuman cults and gold gleaming in the forge.
No Warmth from the Gold is an Astonishing Swordsmen & Sorcerers of Hyperborea adventure for 3rd level characters which will be provided.
Thursday March 3rd 12pm to 4pm
Friday March 4th 2pm to 6pm

The Floating Monks of Malapesh
Across the Red Desert, sitting high atop a ridge in the Spiral Mountain Array, are three ancient towers and clinging to the slopes below these is the walled town of Malapesh. Monks of varying factions and creeds rule here and woe betide those who cross them or violate their laws. During the years of summer the town swells with pilgrims and holy men all come to seek the ancient knowledge and the power over the ironclad law of gravity itself said to be imparted by a walk amongst the towers. You are after rewards of a more more material nature. From various sources you have gleaned the knowledge that the towers mark the location of great treasures of ancient Hyperborea dating from the days before the Green Death. Will you find what you seek on your pilgrimage? A HYPERBOREA Adventure for 6 characters of levels 5-6.
I'm looking at running this one twice: Thursday 10-2 and Saturday 4-8
(I apologise for any conflicts - It's getting hard not to step too hard on the other HYPERBOREA Games)

It sounds like games will be at a premium at GC this year so conflicts may not matter! The sessions being run by board members all sound very engaging! According to gizmomathboy's number we have a pretty good showing thus far for ASSH.

Well, "officially", the game is Astonishing Swordsmen & Sorcerers of Hyperborea™, or AS&SH™. I'm unsure if Jeff wants to press the issue with Luke and the GC folks who were kind enough to add us in the first place.

Yeah, I made the request . . . and David's spot-on. I really don't want to press the issue. I might throw it out there casually, but the best, most important thing is that we have so much fantastic representation! Thank you, fellows. This is going to be the best Gary Con yet!
Cheers,
Jeff T.

I'm not using the ™. I have my limits.

After much wrangling at work, looks like I will be able to make the full convention and run my event three times. I wish I weren't overlapping with some of you, but such is life. High class problem to have so many AS&SH offerings, heh! Also, if anyone wants to play, but has a conflict, my intention is to run this at least once online (G+ Hangouts, PM me) before the convention (after too if anyone wants) and also to run it at NTRPG Con in June. Thanks!
Event: The Strange Tale of Crystal Point
Times: Thursday 12pm-4pm, Friday 8pm-whenever, Saturday 12pm-4pm.
Description: In the far reaches of Hyperborea's Crab Archipelago, lies a small, 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. One Esquimaux fisherman even claims to have seen ghostly figures haunting the island's shores. Ariston Thalassa, an Atlantean sage in Khromarium, Hyperborea's largest city, has heard these strange tales and approached your party with a promising explanation. He believes Crystal Point may hold the ruins of a lost Atlantean colony - and its secrets! Eager for adventure and treasure, you agreed to explore the island and, after a long journey, have finally set foot on its rocky beach.
Players: An adventure for 4-6 PCs of levels 7-9.
