These are the Gen Con 2010 events that I am playing on Saturday. This is by far my busiest day so far at this Con, at least a part time job kind of hours. I will be likely eating trail mix out of a backpack and washing it down with Red Bull by the end of this day of gaming.
Event Name: Cave of Wanders: Wanton Destruction
System: Donjon
Synopsis: We'll be bathing in ale and women tonight! We've all heard our fathers and their fathers before them drone on and on about the 'horrors' in that cave, but we've also seen the fat loot that they've brought back. Treasure, cool scars, and more treasure. Grab your sword and some torches. Our quest begins tonight!
Why I selected this event: I read the rules for Donjon and was immediately impressed with the openness. I always wanted to play this system over almost everything else but was far too intimidated to even think about running anything with it. I always swore if an even was ever listed at Gen Con it would be the first thing I signed up for, this was that year.
Event Name: The Babalon Working
System: Trail of Cthulhu
Synopsis: Lovecraft meets ripped-from-history film noir as you play science fiction writers in 1950s California drawn into a charlatan's web of deceit and mendacity following the 'accidental' death of an occult-loving rocket scientist.
Why I selected this event: I always have to play a Cthulhu themed even each year. I like trying out new systems, this time it is the Gumshoe system and MORE PULP to boot.
Event Name: Terror on Emerald Fields
System: Legendary Realms
Synopsis: A strange melancholic song calls out to nearby travelers who are never seen again. You can hear it calling for you on the breeze.
Why I selected this event: Wanted to finish up the day learning something new and sometimes Gen Con events are about what sounds good in the time slots you have available.
