L018: "Grimm Tales" by Will Wagner & Andy Kirschbaum. Welcome to Whitechapel, London. It is December, 1888 and there have been a number of grisly murders in the last few months. The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) is poking their noses everywhere, stirring up a lot of things, but they have made no real progress in finding a killer. This would normally be a side note to most Londoners, however you are not "most". You, and your community, are special. You are Fables. Ever since the story of your life spread around Europe (and now, the world) you found that, among other things, you no longer seem to age. You didn't start off that way. Actually, your life started off pretty poorly, as most of the stories tell. After some arguments with fate, you were finally able to settle down, only to find this happening. King Henry Cole, also known as the Iron Henry and the Frog King, quickly rose as the leader of the Fairy Tale lands in Europe. When the population of Europe exploded and people started pouring into your lands from all over, something had to be done. King Henry declared that the group, now known as Fables, must retreat from the public eye. The must keep their existence secret from the "normals". Moving to London, your group settled in Whitechapel, at that time a not so affluent, but still nice area of the city. Over the years, the area has gone downhill. This suits the majority of the community just fine, since many of you are trying to avoid notice, and you can always go "uptown" for culture, if you desire. Recently, however, the murders have drawn attention to your home, and you fear they might have some reason. Could it have been the Beast, or the Big Bad Wolf? Maybe it's something much more sinister...Or it could just be the work of a crazy barber, as many of the papers are writing? An original fantasy LARP brought to you by Turtle Shell Productions. Friday, 2:00PM - 6:00PM; One Round; All Materials Provided. Beginners Welcome; Fun, All Ages.

Now this wondrous land is a shining jewel in the British Crown. Many now come here to pay this land a visit, go on Safari or even hunt big game. Others find the indigenous peoples a curosity and enjoy watching their savage practices. Though to the untrained eye, these tribal rituals may seem barbaric, they do provide a needed service. Each ritual is steeped in mystery, some mysteries that should remain in Africa. However the arrogance of the British Crown will soon find out that it may have over reached its powers when they attempt to bring their sense of civiality to the savages. The Dark Heart Of Africa is a mid 1800's event that takes place in the Victorian age. Costumes are encouraged. Pre-generated characters will be provided.

Each player has assigned objectives which reflect the actual views and capabilities that position has in the real world. The game staff most of whom are senior military officers and DoD war game designers - run whichever other countries or organizations are needed. "Real world" dynamics inexorably draw the players toward cooperation in some areas and conflict in others. Unlike other war games where one "team" of players defeats other teams, in the NSDM Game all players are individually ranked by the degree to which they gain advantage for the group they represent.

Gnolls are balls of fur just wanting to go up in flame. And before you even mention it, I heard all those lame rumors about the "curse" striking people down in Dunnadell, and it's a load of garbage. My mother taught me that old trick years ago, and all us goblins do it - just spread word about pestilence and blood curses whenever there's any real competition in town, and the humans and elves run the hell the other way. Don't tell me you're gonna wuss out just because of a little fear-mongering!

In Round 1A, for Buffy players: For years now, it's been known that New York City is the number one American hub for demon trafficking. Like a million underground railroad stops all rolled into one cesspool of humanity, the cover of darkness allows the air and sea ports, the rail stations, buslines and countless transdimensional portals to funnel criminals and illegals nearly anywhere in the country. Nay, the world. You're part of the team that's fighting back. Over the last year, you've stopped countless transfers. You've started working to staunch the flow of undocumented demons into our population through this wretched city. And tonight? You've got word of a HUGE transfer happening at Port Elizabeth. In Round 2B, for Angel players: A family of water demons have requested assistance relocating to Lake Erie. According to your superiors, this should be an easy assignment - typical underground railroad stuff. You're the last handoff in their journey. You pick them up, you make sure they get to their final destination without anybody catching on to what they are or where they're going. Somehow, you suspect they underestimate the difficulty in getting this "special delivery from Scotland" from Port Elizabeth up the Hudson River and through the Erie Canal. Join the cast as they work against all odds to get a 25 foot sea serpent, her 40 foot husband and their offspring safely to their new home without bringing a media storm like the one they're fleeing down on their heads. In Round 2, the Crossover: Our two teams come head to head over the fate of one of the world's most legendary demons. Nessie and her family might very well end up stranded in the Hudson River, if the two teams can't find a way to get along. And if that happens, they likely won't live out the year.

B432: Mesopotamia. Mesopotamia looks like a heavy game, but the mechanisms are simple and the game builds easily as you play. At the center is the Ziggurat where you must bring 4 sacrifice tokens to win. But to deliver them you must have sufficient Mana reserved by praying in temples, which players build. You bring your sacrifices from 4 huts which you build, and you can breed at an empty hut to increase your people. To build huts, temples and Mana, you use rocks and timber that you collect from quarries and forests. Each turn, you can move 5 places, placing new tiles if you go off the map, seeding stones or timber if they are quarries or forests, carrying resource to empty plains if you want to build. Building a hut or temple, breeding, or drawing an action card ends your turn, and you bank Mana if you have people on temples. So gradually, you build up your clan and have them do different things. Some stand at temples to pray, some explore and carry resource, others help build or breed. And when you deliver a sacrifice, you kill the messenger too, thus needing to breed more.
