SPOILER WARNING! It sounds like a fun time was had by all, from Cirsova's after-game report: cirsova.wordpress.com/2019/11/11/maze-of-nuromen-breaking-the-speed-of-light-and-2020-advertisements/- I particularly liked the idea of using Nuromen's daughter's silver bracelet as a weapon against him - given its provenance I might even have allowed extra damage.
- Players never learn when it comes to laboratories.
- Every playtest I ran heavily featured goblin encounters, unlike Cirsova's game. This is what's great about random tables.

I'll be running three sessions at Garycon this March:
A Tale of Two Temples (2x)
Deep under a long abandoned temple of Law, a temple of Chaos thrives and with it a sanctuary for outlaws and exiles. This knaves' haven now harbors the most famous thief in the known world, and the King has chosen you to bring him to justice. Negotiate, fight, or bribe your way past outlaws and do what you must to survive encounters with monstrous hybrids born of chaos as you strive to bring the most famous thief in the known world to justice. A low level 70's style dungeon crawl, run by a DM who started playing in 1975, characters provided. Everyone welcome, even if you played last year. It's D&D as it was played in the 70's. It is rules light and plays fast, even while you are slowly mapping the dungeon. Last year things were well under way within 15 minutes of our start time. So bring your iron spikes, holy water, and ten-foot pole. Choose a caller and a mapper, I'll provide the pre-gens. Everyone is welcome at my table including. We'll be using Blueholme rules, no experience necessary.
Of Rotting Earth and Weeping Stone A temple dedicated to resurrecting ancient forces of chaos thrives under a long abandoned temple of law, desecrating all there that is sacred. Farmlands now reek of rotted flesh, stones weep blood, and unnatural fiends roam the night. You must learn of what powers this chaos....
A follow up to A Tale of Two Temples, though everyone is welcome.

That's cool, muddy! Anything I can do to help? Need any players' copies of the Prentice Rules? Have you thought of publishing those adventures? Everyone likes a con module, and who wouldn't want a Gary Con module?

Hello Vile,
I never thought of asking for help, so I'm not sure what to say! If you are willing to send a couple of rule books (or whatever) for use at the table or promotion, that would be great. The session at GC went well last year, and at least a few of those players will be back at the table.
I've never published anything like this before, with graphics, and so on. So I haven't really thought about it or even know what would be involved.

How many players do you have? PM me your address and phone no. (Lulu needs a phone no.), and I'll send some copies your way. Should still be time before the con.

The books have shipped, muddy, so you should get them within the next week or so. Let us know here how the games went! A couple of photos would be greatly appreciated.

I'll be running two sessions at GaryCon. ------------------------------------------------
Deep under a long-abandoned temple of Law, a Temple of Chaos thrives and with it a sanctuary for outlaws and exiles. This knaves' haven now harbors the most famous thief in the known world, and the king has chosen you and your friends to bring him to justice. Negotiate, fight, or bribe your way past outlaws and monstrous hybrids born of Chaos as you strive to bring this villain to justice.
This is a low level, old school, 70s style dungeon crawl run by a DM who started playing in 1975. We'll be using Blueholme rules, no experience necessary. It is rules light and plays fast—at GC XI things were well under way within 15 minutes of our start time.
So bring your iron spikes, holy water, and ten-foot pole. Choose a caller and a mapper, I'll provide the characters. Everyone is welcome at my table.

Greetings! I will be running a mini campaign at Gary Con this year. It will be eight, 2 hour sessions of a sort of open world using the Outdoor Survival game board. I have it listed as OD&D/Holmes, but I will be using my Journeymane book for the rules with some small bits taken from Chainmail, JG Ready Ref Sheets, and Swords & Spells.
"Empress Kaitiana E’vala is seeking adventurers to explore the Ahos Frontier on the northern edge of the Ag'gyx Empire. Search ancient sites spoken of in legends. Unearth treasures lost for ages. Wander the vast untamed wilderness, teeming with unknown dangers but unlimited glory! There will be a stack of OD&D/Holmes characters available, be it for new players or to replace slain characters."

I've never heard of someone running campaign-style sessions at a con- usually it's the same adventure run several times. Is this a first for you, WSmith? And would you like some Prentice books to pass out to players?

How many spots do you have, muddy ? Happy to send some Prentice books again. I'm sorry I thought I replied already. I still have some books from the Garycon that wasn't, and I'm running fewer sessions this time, so I don't think there is a need.
WSmith - I'll check out your sessions!
