===Slot 1 (1400-1700)===

*'''Call of Cthulhu: The Saddleworth Beast''' - 3rd Level Fighter

It is the year of our Lord 1593.

A group of travellers are making their way across the Pennines from Lancashire into the County of York when ill weather forces them to stay the night in a coaching inn.  Thus, these poor unfortunates begin a nightmare descent into violence, madness and horror.

A BRP Call of Cthulhu scenario for up to six players.  Pre-generated characters will be provided.

Players who have expressed an interest thus far are:

Bubbles, Drexel, Elbast, Fer, General_Tangent, JackT, Lee Williams, Olympias, DigitalMage, and Pookie.

As you can see, I'm running it twice, so if there are clashes with another game hopefully I can accommodate you.  If you have a preference as to which session you wish to play in, if you could let me know?  Thanks!



*'''D02: A Chaptastic Adventure''' - Aoibhill

There really isn't much to say about this one beyond that it will know no limit.  Any number of players taken, but all players will need to have a pencil with rubber and at least 2 coins they are not planning to spend.  This is a relatively freeform system and character generation will take place at the beginning of the timeslot.


*'''Great Ork Gods''' - Mr Jack

[http://www.greatorkgods.co.uk Great Ork Gods] is a riotous game of savage and chaotic Orks and the gods that hate them. Character creation takes less than ten minutes (if that!) and the rules are real simple so we should be able to crack straight on to the pillaging and burning! There might even be a sneak preview of the long-rumoured finished version.

Players who have expressed an interest (four or five players would be Ideal): JonA, BlackSheep, Belor

===Slot 2 (1800-2100)===

*'''[[SLA Industries]]''' - JonA

A game of dark violence in a nightmarish urban city known as Mort. A place that for 900 years has been building higher and higher and pushing the older parts of the city into decay and down under ground. From the gleaming skyscrapers of Mort Central, through the high class residences of Uptown, down through the uniformly grey and depressive surburbia. Then beyond the Wall lies the segregated world of Downtown. Where all of society's dregs eek out an meagre existance of desperation, trying to survive long enough to get home to watch TV - the only thing they live for. Yet all around them lies a world of horror, darkness, madness, chaos, crime and extreme violence (brought to you live and direct, 24/7 on SLA Industries 1001 TV channels). 

Under the streets of Mort lurks an even darker horror. From gangs of youths roaming the walkways and collapsed streets and buildings to terrorist cells planning the fall of SLA from their sewer hideouts. Not to forgetting the horrific mutated creatures from the Cannibal Sectors who penetrate the lowest levels of the city to feed. Monstrous creatures of a dark foul nature - Carriens, Cannibal Pigs and other foul denizens - some native to Mort, others from worlds far beyond.

The players are "Operatives" (piece workers) for SLA Industries. A Big Brother-esque megacorporation that controls everything. Or at least that's what they tell everyone. Mr Slayer runs the show and has done for 900 years. He tells you he will provide for you if you serve him well. Your job is to serve and protect SLA Industries by rooting out traitors, subversives, criminals and those that Slayer wants silenced. Don't ask questions though. You wouldn't understand the answer anyway. Just do your job, do it well and you will be rewarded. Fail and you will disappear.

'''The Blue Murder Squad'''

Ascendance – Wraith Raider (Kick Murder)
Bubbles – Wraith Raider (Scout)
Elbast – Human (Scout)
Fer – Chagrin Stormer (Strike)
Yermum - Shaktar (Kick Murder)
Chris (my friend) – Brain Waster (Death)
Belor - Human (Pilot)

One empty slots available.

As for the adventure itself? It's called The Beckoning Darkness... and that's all I'll tell you.



*'''Warhammer: Arrows of Outrageous Fortune''' - Whymme

Being experienced bowmen, you have gathered at the monastery of Saint Lucas for the bi-annual archery tournament. The weather is fine, the ale tastes good and all is going well until you find the body ...

A WFRP II game for about four players. Pre-generated characters in their second or third careers will be provided.
This game might move to the second slot, if that fits better. You can register at the day, I'm not accepting earlier registrations.

Warning: this game has been played before, at TimCon 1, at Easter last year. If you played this scenario back then, you might not want to do so again. I might not let you, anyway. I will probably run the same scenario a week later, at ConSternation, and, if I'm not tired of it by then, at KaasCon as well.

*'''Blue Planet''' - JonA

A somewhat gritty/realistic frontier sci-fi RPG set on a waterworld colonised by humans. The rules are very user friendly. This is a tentative offer to run a BP game in Slot 3 (tentative because I've never played Blue Planet let alone run it).

As for the adventure - it'll involve the build up to and centre around the first race (the inaugral event) of the Year 100 Hydrospan Challenge Cup. The first race of the Cup being a flat out endurance run from New Freemantle to Haven with the boats hitting 300mph in open water. The players will be either at the team's land bases or in the chase boats/planes.

Interested players (limit of four): YerMum, Whymme, Pookie, Mr Jack
