RPGs:


Here are the convention-sponsored RPGs:

The Birth and Death of a Star
Day/Time: Friday 8:00pm - Midnight
System: Doctor Who: Adventures in Time and Space

The Doctor is taking his companions to see a wondrous event. The collision of several celestial bodies will herald the birth of a new and unique type of star. But, it seems that there are others who want to exploit this most amazing of natural resources. The Doctor and his friends will have to investigate.

 

You'll Be Coming Back
Day/Time: Saturday 10:00am - 2:00pm
System: Savage Worlds (superhero)

Finally! After decades of fighting, you’ve pinned the mad scientist Fenrir and his goons...the Wolfpack. From high atop Atlanta’s Bank of America Plaza, he has only one route of escape. The only thing left to do is disable his helicopter, detain him, and turn him over to the authorities. To capture him on a simple theft attempt is, what you might call, anticlimactic. Too easy?

BbbbZzzzaaaaaaap!

Like a giant Jacob’s ladder, electricity arcs up the building, illuminating the spire in an eerie light. The air races past as it is sucked into an orifice. Maybe this isn’t that easy. Was that a pterosaur?

You’ll Coming Running Back is a Savage Worlds oneshot. The session will be beginner-friendly. Most everything required to play, included pregenerated characters, will be provided.

 

Dead Rock Seven
Day/Time: Saturday 2:00pm - 6:00pm
System: Ashen Stars

Something is killing workers on Asteroid SIS-45556. The mine's owner, Cronstadt Corp, hires a team of troubleshooters (the player characters) to investigate. If your suspicions are correct, the deaths herald the return of a dangerous foe once thought defeated. No prior knowledge of the Ashen Stars RPG is needed.

 

SG-8: I'm Not Even Supposed to Be Here Today
Day/Time: Saturday 6:00pm - 10:00pm
System: Call of Cthulhu (Stargate-themed)

You just returned from an uneventful leap to a barely civilized, lowtech planet. All that is left is to file the trip report and begin the much needed 4 day pass. You’re feeling generous, as you exit The Gate, you dismiss the crew to begin their time off. Some are hesitant but your forceful personality wins the day. Now, it’s just Team 8 ... cleaning and storing weapons, securing equipment, and thinking about the soft powdery snow on top the Keystone. The Alarm? Inbound travellers! Iris wasn’t put up. This could be bad ... very, very bad.

Running down the hall grabbing weapons, shouting orders and status, you enter the embarkation room, just as your guests stagger through the gate. Bleeding from wounds, they drop a bloodless body on the ramp. “Help Us!”

There goes the weekend.

This session will be beginner-friendly. Most everything required to play, including pregenerated characters, will be provided.

 

The Trouble With the Merchant's Wife
Day/Time:  Sunday  10:00am - 2:00pm
System: Dungeons & Dragons 3.5

You are in the town square haggling for equipment. There is a cry of despair and you turn to see a disheveled and bloody woman. She is the wife of a merchant who passes through town from time to time. She cries out that their caravan was attacked. She begs you to help her!

 

The Mata Rangi Incident
Day/Time:  Sunday  2:00pm - 6:00pm
System: Savage Worlds (Stargate-themed)

A ragtag team of personnel from the Navy and Marine Corps (as well as civilian scientists) must investigate when a stargate being transported from Antarctica to Area 51 activates unexpectedly. This adventure takes place shortly after the events of "Solitude" (Stargate: SG-1 Season 1, Episode 18). No prior knowledge of Savage Worlds is needed.
