Gary Con IV in Lake Geneva, WI, starts one week from today on March 22-25! This celebration of gaming's roots, held in the town where it all started, seems to be attracting its biggest turnout ever this year. It's all about the Old School, as the designers and creators of yesteryear rub shoulders with the fans and gamers of today. You can NOT call yourself "OSR" without a pilgrimage to this event, folks!
And here are the games I'm running this year as part of The Dead Games Society:
DGS Presents: Ghostbusters - How Dry I Am
Thursday, 2 pm – 6 pm
Several class 5 free-floating vaporous manifestations are tearing up a college kegger. The Ghostbusters are called in to dispatch these Prohibition Poltergeists. But is this a single case of ‘spirits' versus 'spirits,' or is there something more malevolent trying to end drunken debauchery in our dimension?
DGS Presents: Ghostbusters - The Shadow Over Yonkers
Thursday, 8 pm – Midnight
Random citizens of Yonkers, NY, are waking in the middle of the night to wander mindlessly and wide-eyed into the Hudson River, never to return. The Ghostbusters are contacted by Prof. Clark Olmstead of Miskatonic University (Yonkers branch) to investigate the phenomenon. Is it Innsmouth all over again?
DGS Presents: Timemaster - Postage Due
Friday, 10 am – 2 pm
An undelivered letter in mid-1800 America has thrown the timeline into chaos. What does this single piece of correspondence contain that makes it so critical to future events? Time Corps agents will be dispatched to the point of incursion to ensure the mail goes through!
DGS Presents: Mutant Future - Weed World
Friday, 4 pm – 8 pm
Within the last month, the growth of all forms of vegetation has visibly accelerated, threatening to overrun and choke off your tiny post-apocalyptic village. Does an Ancient children's bedtime story of "The Devil's Greenhouse" and the mutated plantlife lurking within hold the key to surviving this floral horror?

ReplyDeleteI am planning on attending in 2013. I was thinking about it this year, but totally zoned when the time came to sign up and make travel plans.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to wish you luck - you're going to be one busy guy for sure. Just wish these things were run more often in the UK!
ReplyDeleteHappy gaming, buddy.
All the best,

I'm too busy with classes and I couldn't spend the money to go down :/ Really bummed out about this. I haven't been to a con of any sort yet and I've been dying to make it to one at some point.
