Forgot about this thread, but I'll be at GameHole this year, running my three regular adventures. Still have room in my Friday sessions for anyone looking for an event or two. In any case, should be great to see people, drink beer and sling some dice. :)

Schedule
Fri 2PM-6PM - Foolsgrave (5/6 seats remain)
Fri 8PM-12AM - Crash at Corpse Creek (2/6 seats remain)

Sat 8AM-12PM - Foolsgrave (full)
Sat 2PM-6PM - Crash at Corpse Creek (full)
Sat 8PM-12AM - The Strange Tale of Crystal Point (full)


Descriptions
Crash at Corpse Creek. A strange object has fallen from the stars, crashing into the cold, haunted swamp of Corpse Creek. Several curious trappers from a nearby camp went to investigate, but none have returned. The remainder have hired your group to find their friends, but they warn you that Corpse Creek teems with the living dead and that its strange bugs have awakened early from their winter freeze, including some giant varieties never seen before in Hyperborea. A site-based adventure for player characters of levels 3-5.

Foolsgrave. Khromarium's mysterious spiraling towers of black gneiss predate mankind, an ever-present reminder of how strange and alien things once ruled Hyperborea. During the Festival of Plutonia, a sombre commemoration of death, darkness and the all-consuming void, one such tower's impenetrable doors slowly creaked open, admitting anyone brave enough to descend into its depths. Many have entered, but few have returned - some with wealth overflowing, others simply mad, drooling and babbling. Locals now refer to the labyrinth as Foolsgrave. A megadungeon crawl for player characters of levels 1-3.

The Strange Tale of Crystal Point. 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 frequent lightning storms overhead. One famous sage believes Crystal Point may hide the lost treasure of Atlantis! Eager for adventure and treasure, you agreed to explore the island and, after a long journey, have finally set foot on its rocky beach. A site-based adventure for player characters of levels 7-9.

I'm hoping to get in on your Friday Foolsgrave (even though it might only be like 2 of us dying repeatedly).

I helped this weekenb put together the attendee bundles, so if you are missing any swag, it’s, um, someone else’s fault... ;)

You’ll be able to get in, no problem. My experience last year was very few on site sign ups. Plus, I will even try to get you killed as many times as humanly possible within four hours. :mrgreen:

Please do, man. There's plenty of room for more corpses. :wink:
