OK, I submitted two events. I suppose I could run Beyond the Ice Fall again, too, or run the dungeon section of Ghost Ship. But I figured suddenly I'd play Joe's awesome Beyond the Ice Fall from scalydemon's AFS.
Beyond the Ice Fall
March 3, 2016 @ 2:00 pm - 6:00 pm
The long year of darkness is over, but ice still grips Hyperborea. Wolves and other, stranger things rove in the darkness, only slowly retreating as the red sun begins to reappear. In your village, the skills you honed during the long darkness are suddenly needed. The ship of Hallstan the Wayfarer is overdue, and Geirmund Hawk-Beak fears it was lost in the sudden late snows of the past few days, a strange blizzard that chased the warming winds away with savage fury. While the rest of the villagers guard against wolves and other mundane threats, he asks your band to find out what has happened to Hallstan and bring him to the village.
Beyond the Ice Fall is an adventure by Joe Salvador for Astonishing Swordsmen & Sorcerers of Hyperborea, orginally published in AFS no. 6. An adventure for 4-8 beginning characters, which will be provided.
Also: I'm going to run a session of Into the Odd on Sunday. I'll have it on hand with a couple of adventures prepped, so hopefully anyone interested can play earlier in the con, too:
Into the Odd: Strange Stars Underground
March 6, 2016 @ 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Under the city of Bastion, strange secrets lurk, intelligences from beyond the world of mortals. Those who dare to risk all might find strange powers–or gruesome death.
This game will introduce players to Into the Odd, a game of exploration into the forgotten spaces of an ancient world, with a focus on problem solving and fast, deadly combat.
We’ll spend five minutes generating characters and then plunge right Into the Odd.
“Into the Odd contains everything you need to create a character and explore an industrial world of cosmic meddlers and horrific hazards. This is a fast, simple game, to challenge your wits rather than your understanding of complex rules.
“You seek Arcana, strange devices hosting unnatural powers beyond technology. They range from the smallest ring to vast machines, with powers from petty to godlike. Beside these unnatural items that they may acquire, your characters remain grounded as mortals in constant danger.”
