About constant choosing. About living with one person, and at the same time dreaming about others. In Doubt, the players are responsible for the story. Decide the fate of Tom and Julia.

L005: Jeepform; "Previous Occupants" by Frederik Berg Olsen and Tobias Wrigstad; presented by Death by Awesome. This game is part of the Nordic jeepform tradition, which exists somewhere between tabletop and larp and provides a good introduction to that style of gaming. Previous Occupants is a story of coping with people changing, cast as a ghost story. The players will play the events of two different timelines in parallel, one story of young trustful love and sexual exploration set against a bitter distrustful marriage that ends in violence and disaster. As the ghosts of the past invade the present, the end is completely in the hands of the players. Who will get away alive? Friday, 9:00AM - 1:00PM; One Round; All Materials Provided. Beginners Welcome; Very Serious, 18 & Over ONLY.
L006: Unisystem; "Once Upon a Time in Chinatown" by Cool Like Snakes Games. Due to the recent fire at the Marketplace, the Merchant has asked you take your shenanigans elsewhere while he closes for repairs. With your familiar neighborhood closed to you, you turn to local legend and reknowned sticker-hander-outer, Phoebe, who has offered her stomping grounds as a place to gather, hang out, and keep safe. However, Chinatown doesn't welcome you with open arms. The circles you move in have always gotten the cold shoulder in this part of town. Their supernatural underground likes to handle their business on their own, and they like your kind to stay on your side of the borough. It doesn't help that you aren't familiar with the local customs, like how much to tip a zombie geisha, or why everyone gets offended when you buy a lucky cat. But something is amiss in Chinatown. The big players appear to be running scared or bunkering down. This could be the bad old times of the Watchers' War all over again, unless you can break through the metaphoric Great Wall and get your nose stuck in where it doesn't belong. Go ahead, bite the Big Apple; don't mind the maggots. Character updates can be done at the door, but those who arrive characterless must choose a pregenerated character. If you would like to make your own character or update your character before the con, please contact the Cool Like Snakes Team at coollikesnakesgames@gmail.com, or 'Like' us on Facebook to learn more.

There is PLENTY going on in the Nexus right now, and plenty of ways to get involved to fix - or complicate - everybodys' lives. Friday, 11:00AM - 2:00PM; One Round; All Materials Provided.

Friday, 2:00PM - 6:00PM; One Round; All Materials Offered. Beginners Welcome; Fun, Under 18 Requires Parental Clearance.
L009: "Ars Amandi Workshop" presented by Death by Awesome. LARPs need love. Think about it: In a typical LARP, your character is far more likely to kill something or die than she is to fall in love. The ability to play romance and love safely opens a whole new vista of possible plots, character developments, and player experience. This workshop teaches the mechanic of Ars Amandi, a Nordic way of representing romance in LARP; it's boffers for lust. Participants engaging in Ars Amandi touch one another on the arms and shoulders, lightly and firmly, playfully and forcefully. During the workshop, we will be exploring different modes of touching in a safe, structured environment. Wear comfortable clothing and come prepared to touch the arms of strangers, but please do show up on time - due to the immersive nature of this workshop, latecomers cannot be accommodated. Visit LizzieStark.com for details on prior workshops. Friday, 2:00PM - 6:00PM; One Round; All Materials Provided. Beginners Welcome; Very Serious, 18 & Over ONLY.

It's a cinematic game that works to capture the horror and fun of zombie movies. The setting is that the city where the characters live has ordered all the people to Shelter In Place, to seal themselves inside a building and tape up windows and doors. The game takes place in and around an "overflow" shelter, where several citizens from different areas have been shipped. Friday, 3:00PM - 6:00PM; One Round; All Materials Provided. Beginners Welcome; Fun, All Ages. See Also: L032.
L011: Cthulhu Live! 3rd Edition; "In the Shadow of the Wall" by PST Productions.

Many residents of East Berlin dream of fleeing to the West, called by myriad siren songs - freedom, sanctuary, reunion with loved ones, and other reasons as numerous as stars in the sky. A small group of dissidents, from all walks of life, has worked for months to excavate a passage beneath the dreaded Wall, lured by evidence of an abandoned bunker complex that could deliver them safely into West Berlin.

This event takes place on a small salvage boat in the flooded territory of The Mass. A promise of underwater excavation, above water entertainment, and high stakes gambling has brought many people beyond Old York and to the Mass. Teams of 10 will be allowed beneath the waves while the rest defend the ship and enjoy the subtle pleasures of post-fall hospitality. This module is part of our ongoing timeline, and new players are encouraged to participate. Established characters may participate as long as they are under 50 applied experience points.

L014: World of Darkness; "Lines in the Sand" by Shattered Legacy. New York City has always had a large supernatural population, and they make it their business to stay out of each other's way. Now the Mages of the city have been informed by their masters that spirits and creatures of power have been going missing all over the city. Their masters are too caught up in their own games of politics to care much and this should be a simple enough mission for the newbies. Find out what's going on, who's doing it, and if it doesn't cause too much fuss fix the problem. Should be a cake walk. The Werewolves of NYC have begun to notice a decline in the number of spirits in the city. They don't know what's going on, but it's their job to keep the spirit community in check, so that is what they are going to do, and woe to anyone or anything that even thinks of getting in their way.

L015: Atmosfear: The Nightmare, Second Edition; "Welcome to the Dollhouse!" by Kitsune Entertainment. In a stunning turn of events at the last Game, one of the most unlikely Houses has been chosen to Host the Game, the Poltergeists of Hellin. With Mizrel still campaigning for Harbinger status and the Second Soul War approaching fast, it is uncertain if the halfpint Poltergeist will bring chaos or order to the proceedings. The only thing that is certain is that Hellin is bringing milk and cookies. This is a LARP based on the Atmosfear boardgame series. It uses the World of Darkness game system, but is not a part of the World of Darkness. If players don't wish to create their own character, they may take a pregenerated one at the door. Players can choose from Vampires, Werewolves, Zombies, Mummies, Witches, Poltergeists, Restless Ones, Soul Rangers, and now Clowns. Players also do not need prior knowledge of the world of Atmosfear, as introductions to the world will be made at the beginning of the game. Have fun, play in the game that truly creates Atmosfear!

W403: 9 Kingdoms; "Dungeon Crawl" presented by Ivan Turner. 9 Kingdoms is a tabletop game that bridges the gap between wargaming and role playing. In 9 Kingdoms, you build figures. You'll have plenty of figures with low stats who are simply meant to be fodder. But you'll also have the heroes who survive battle after battle by learning new skills and mastering combat and adventure situations in a variety of scenarios. By far the most popular scenario of 9 Kingdoms. Creeping through a dungeon looking for treasure and monsters is the classic scenario for all fantasy games. Most combat games can't give that to its players because they're so combat oriented. 9 Kingdoms Dungeon Crawl lets multiple players work their way through the same dungeon. Their squads can fight or help each other depending on the situation. It's a haven for backstabbing thieves. Friday, 9:00AM - 1:00PM; One Session; All Materials Offered.

B408: Cleopatra and the Society of Architects. This game from Days of Wonder is a fun and engaging family game that includes a true, three-dimensional palace that players compete to build. Players strive to become the wealthiest of Cleopatra's architects by constructing the most magnificent and valuable parts of her palace. Players, however, will be tempted to deal with shady characters and trade in materials of dubious origins in order to help them build faster. While these corrupt practices might allow an architect to stay a step ahead of the rest, they come with a high price - cursed Corruption Amulets honoring Sobek, the Crocodile-god. When Cleopatra finally strolls into her new palace, at the end of the game, the most corrupt architect (the one with the most amulets) will be seized and offered as a sacrifice to her sacred crocodile! Only then will the wealthiest architect, from among those still alive, be selected and declared the winner of the game. Friday, 10:00AM - 1:00PM; One Session; All Materials Provided.

In this new game from Smirk & Dagger, the gingerbread men have left the confines of their sugar-frosted land and let their rage spill over into yet another family favorite board game, where total carnage has its 'ups and downs'. The board's original slides and ladders once helped teach kids about morality. But in "Shootin' Ladders: Frag Fest", you'll more likely learn a lesson in 'mortality'; that everyone gets their just desserts.

B414: Medici. Another Reiner Knizia standby, this game plays very well with varying numbers of people. The object is to accrue the most points during three rounds, which you do by spending your points to bid on sets of cards. Each turn the current player turns up one to three cards for all the players to bid on, with the highest bid taking all cards. The cards denote a commodity type and quantity/value. The round ends when each player's ships are full, or the commodity card deck is exhausted. After each round, points are awarded to each player having the most of a given commodity, and to the one with the most valuable total "cargo load". Friday, 11:00AM - 1:00PM; One Session; All Materials Provided. Beginners Welcome; Fun, All Ages.
B415: Small World. In this game from Days of Wonder, players vie for conquest and control of a world that is simply too small to accommodate them all. Small World is inhabited by a zany cast of characters such as dwarves, wizards, amazons, giants, orcs and even humans; who use their troops to occupy territory and conquer adjacent lands in order to push the other races off the face of the earth. Picking the right combination from the 14 different fantasy races and 20 unique special powers, players rush to expand their empires - often at the expense of weaker neighbors. Yet they must also know when to push their own over-extended civilization into decline and ride a new one to victory! This game will be played with expansion sets, as players want. Friday, 11:00AM - 1:00PM; One Session; All Materials Provided. Beginners Welcome; Fun, All Ages. See Also: B623.
B416: Sour Apples to Apples. In this cutthroat variant of the classic party game (and Double Exposure staple, just look at the rest of the schedule), the red noun and green adjective cards are merged. Each turn, the Judge plays the "green" side (which eliminates a "red" word from his/her hand) and collects the "red" words from the other players (which eliminates a "green" word from each of their hands). The twist is when the judge, after picking the point-winning "best" answer, also chooses the "worst" answer, for which that player has to spin the "Sour Apple" which displays what penalty will be imposed (usually just for the next turn). But it's still all in good fun, of course. Friday, 11:00AM - 1:00PM; One Session; All Materials Provided. Beginners Welcome; Silly, All Ages.
B417: Suited for Speed. Suited for Speed combines auto racing and cards. An entire 5 suited deck is dealt out to 3 - 6 players. If there are an even number of players, then the game is played as teams (before each hand, the teams are voted on). This usually leads to having different partners throughout the game. "Who starts?" "How many spaces the cars move?" and "What suit is trump?" are all voted on after the deal, before each hand. As each trick is taken, that team gets to move their cars. The winner is the person who completes the desired number of laps. Other variations are given as well. Friday, 11:00AM - 1:00PM; One Session; All Materials Provided. Beginners Welcome; Fun, All Ages. See Also: B552.
B418: Trailer Park Wars. You have finally landed the job of your dreams: Trailer Park Manager! To be the Best Darn Trailer Park Manager in town, you must place quality Tenants in your trailers, create a fun and friendly atmosphere by adding some sweet Amenities, and go about destroying the other trailer parks…no matter what it takes. Surface to Trailer Missile? Molotov Beer Can? A Tornado? You Bet. Each player has a group of trailers arranged in an oval, and chooses a name for his/her park. The idea of the game is to place one inhabitant, amenity, or disaster in your own or one of your opponents' parks at each turn. The number of points each player gains or loses is determined at the beginning of each turn, and the player is awarded flamingos for positive points. When the supply of flamingos is depleted the game instantly ends and the player with the most flamingos in his/her park is the winner. Friday, 11:00AM - 1:00PM; One Session; All Materials Provided. Beginners Welcome; Silly, All Ages. See Also: B525.
B419: Vikings. In this Rio Grande game, each player is the leader of a band of Vikings. His task is to scout and then settle the islands off the coast of his homeland. As the Vikings uncover the size and shape of the islands, each band seeks to control as much of these new lands as possible. The bands build yards and churches and invite goldsmiths, scouts, fishermen, and nobles to settle on their island to establish the most profitable settlements. But, warriors are also necessary - the islands soon attract ships bound to attack them to pillage the new settlements! Friday, 11:00AM - 1:00PM; One Session; All Materials Provided. Beginners Welcome; Fun, All Ages.
B420: Wizard. Shades of Spades! With a 60 card deck comprising a standard deck plus 4 Wizards (high) and 4 Jesters (low). In the first hand 1 card is dealt to each player. In the second 2 and so on. The game is over after the hand in which all cards are dealt. After examining your cards you state the number of tricks you will win. Each round, each player puts down one card. The first Wizard played wins the trick followed by the highest trump card followed by the highest card in the suit of the first card played. Friday, 11:00AM - 1:00PM; One Session; All Materials Provided. Beginners Welcome; Fun, All Ages. See Also: B730.
B421: Yahtzee. Hasbro's classic game of dice rolling for points. Maybe you can call it out, if you don't think it's too corny. Friday, 11:00AM - 1:00PM; One Session; All Materials Provided. Beginners Welcome; Serious, All Ages. See Also: B731.
B422: The Good, the Bad, and the Munchkin. Munchkin opens a whole new frontier - the Wild West! Forget dragons and goblins - Jackalopes and Davy Croc have just as much treasure.

Fight Wild Bill Hiccup, the Killer Jalapeno, and a Barber Shop Quartet. Take The Annual Bath for an extra level. Or just pal around with your sidekick the Greenhorn, until you sacrifice him to distract a monster. Friday, 11:00AM - 1:00PM; One Session; All Materials Provided. Beginners Welcome; Silly, All Ages.
B423: Dominant Species.

B430: The 2012 DENCC Region 4 Gloom Championship. The world of Gloom is a sad and benighted place. The sky is gray, the tea is cold, and a new tragedy lies around every corner.

You want your characters to suffer the greatest tragedies possible before passing on to the well-deserved respite of death.

B574: Chinatown. This Z-Man game is a negotiation game in the truest sense of the word. In it, players acquire ownership of sections of city blocks then place tiles, representing businesses, onto the block-sections. At the end of each turn, each tile you've laid gives you some sort of payout, but completed businesses (formed of three to six connected tiles of the same type) pay quite a bit better. All these resources are dealt to the players randomly, however, so players must trade to get matching businesses and adjacent locations.

B575: Core Worlds. The ancient Galactic Realm, ruled from the Core Worlds of the galaxy, is waning. Now, the barbaric kingdoms that lie beyond the galactic frontier are amassing their strength, choosing this pivotal moment to strike at the heart of the fading republic, establishing new empires built upon the ashes of decaying civilizations. But these outer systems are not yet strong enough to engage the forces of the Core Worlds directly. The young kingdoms must first gnaw at the edges of the crumbling frontier, developing new types of units and shrewder tactics. They must build up their energy resources to launch magnificent fleets and overwhelming ground forces. Then, when the time is right, they must strike at the galactic core itself, claiming the most exalted planets for themselves. The barbarian kingdom that achieves these goals will carve out the greatest empire in the galaxy. Core Worlds is a deck-building card game where each player controls a barbarian Star Empire represented by many cards. Throughout the game, players will invade Worlds and draft new Units and Tactics into their Empires. Saturday, 11:00AM - 1:00PM; One Session; All Materials Provided. Beginners Welcome; Fun, All Ages.
B576: Dark Minions. In Dark Minions, players represent those forces of evil as they try to pillage and destroy towns. Each turn, the players typically roll three dice and may use the resulting numbers to attack Towns to win Vanquish Points (VPs) – the further along into the game, the more VPs the Towns are worth. Players also attempt to capture Towers in order to level up experience (which enables the player to roll better dice), to re-spawn dead minions from the graveyard, and to "purchase" the services of the various Overlords. In the end, it's all about VPs and the first player to 40 VPs in a four-player game wins. Saturday, 11:00AM - 1:00PM; One Session; All Materials Provided. Beginners Welcome; Fun, All Ages.

W628: They Died For Glory; "The Battle of Columbey, August 14th, 1870 - Franco Prussian War" presented by Bruce Duty. During the early part of the Franco-Prussian War the main French regular army at the fortress of Metz was in danger of being encircled by the Germans from the north and south. General Bezaine ordered a withdrawal to the west to escape the encirclement, with the French 3rd Corps as a rear-guard. Just as the withdrawal began, the Prussian 7th Korps launched an attack on the French 3rd Corps. Can the Prussians push aside the 3rd Corps and disrupt the withdraw, and insure the eventual encirclement of the 150,000 man main French Army? Or will the 3rd Corps give the Prussians a bloody nose, giving the main French army a chance to escape the trap and combine with the other French forces coming into the field? This battle was unusual in that the French enjoyed an advantage in numbers and position, at least in the beginning of the action. This will be a 15mm miniatures game using the "They Died for Glory" rules. These rules are short and easy to learn, but with plenty of color for the time period.

D747: "Costuming Design and Considerations for LARPing" presented by Geoffrey Schaller. When playing in a Live RPG, costuming can mean the difference between an average PC and a memorable one, and an OK time playing and a lousy time spent in uncomfortable costuming. Whether it's an 4-Hour independant session, an outdoor Boffer LARP, or a weekend-long indoors event, your choice of costuming will affect both how much you enjoy the game, and how others enjoy your presense. We'll go over basic concepts, designing your costume, makeup, safety, and gradually improving it over the course of the PC's life without killing your wallet.
