Gen Con 2011 Thursday Events

Thursday gaming gets off to a later start for me than usual, with my first event beginning at 2pm.  With this late start I will have time for some dealer's rooming in the morning and even a chance for a leisurely paced convention lunch at the food court.


Name: Pyramids of Atlantis


Synopsis: When unexpected violence shatters the secret peace between the British Empire and the Atlantean Nations, Her Majesty the Queen covertly sees to it that a number of Strange operatives from the Kerberos Club join Her Naval expedition to "investigate." But after two weeks of deep-sea bombardment and demands for surrender, the Atlanteans remain curiously silent. Just what are they up to down there? 


Why I signed up for it: I have a great interest in the pulp era, one that seems to lend itself well to the limited time slots of conventions.  Also, this one had the benefit of being a FATE system event, another big plus.  I was really surprised I way able to make it in for this event.  Custom FUDGE dice already packed.

My late game for Thursday is a QAGS (Quick Ass Gaming System) event.  I have the reputation with my gaming friends of having system ADD.  So had to feed the beast by signing up for a QAGS game.  Having never played this system I am looking forward to trying it out.


Name: Curse of the Alchemist


Synopsis: The savage land of Vekros is home to bold men, brazen women, scheming sorcerers, and hideous beasts. Only by blood and by steel shall you live! Some say the tablets of the legendary artificer Kaarn hold the secrets to everlasting life. Are you brave enough to face the curse of the Alchemist?


Why I signed up for it: The chance to learn a new system and the description for the event sold me.  Fit nicely into my schedule too.


With a late start to gaming and not too terribly late of a conclusion I should be able to get some sleep and maybe even a quick boardgame or two back at the hotel.
