Four-hour +slots, pre-generated characters, no system knowledge needed, safety tools at +every table. Booking on Warhorn, sign-ups also taken at the event. Full content +notes on each game's listing. + +ANOTHER BLOODY TREASURE MAP - Vanity - Wed afternoon - 6 players +You bought a treasure map off a man in a tavern. Yes. You know. So did four +other groups this week, and by Tuesday there were three parties on the same +road being extremely rude to each other. Here is the thing, though: the map is +real, and the old man who printed four hundred of them was not running a +swindle. He was recruiting. A light, funny dungeon crawl that stops being funny +at the vault door. + +AFTERIMAGE - Blade Runner RPG - Wed evening - 4 players +Los Angeles, 2037. A memory designer is dead in his studio and Rep-Detect has +the case with a whisper attached: rogue replicant. The whisper comes from a +corporation, and it is a lie of the useful kind. You have until dawn, the case +is wrong in every particular, and nobody in this story gets to be right. You +only get to decide who pays. + +BLACK SUMMER: LAST FLIGHT OUT - Walking Dead Universe - Thu afternoon - 5 players +New York, six weeks after the fall. The army's last plane leaves an old +Brooklyn airfield at dawn, and boarding needs a stamped transit chit with your +face on it. Between the five of you, you have three. Ten miles of dead city lie +between here and the runway, and the queue at the far end is longer than +anybody wants to think about. Fast zombies, worse people, no cavalry coming. + +THE FAVOUR - The Dee Sanction - Fri afternoon - 5 players +Six months ago you left a witch finder at a crossroads with a list in his hand: +three villages where the evidence did not add up and the verdict came anyway. +Dee took the list. Now Garratt has called in the favour, and what he wants is +one name cleared - a woman he hanged in 1581 on evidence he was paid to +believe. Dee's instruction is impossible, and the village has its own view. + +THE CURIOUS CASE OF MR PARKER'S DIARY - Vaesen - Sat afternoon - 4 players +A parcel reaches the Society in February: the field diary of an English +naturalist who drowned in a northern lake last October, posted three weeks +after he died. The first sixty pages are ordinary. The last twenty are in the +same hand and written from somewhere outside his own life. The final page is +dated nine days from now, and it describes your arrival. + +DEAD AIR - a Call of Cthulhu trilogy - Thu, Fri and Sat evenings - 6 players +Under the Chancellery garden, below every level that appears on a captured +plan, they built a room with walls the wrong shape. It was made to broadcast +once, on the last night, to every loudspeaker still standing in Europe. They +believed they were calling something. They were the call. Each part stands +completely alone, so take one, take two, or take all three. + +I. ASH & CONCRETE - Berlin, February 1946 - Thu evening +You catalogue German science before the other lot get to it, and it has been +six weeks of frozen filing cabinets. Then a requisition turns up for forty tons +of concrete delivered to a building that was already finished. There is a room +under the bunker that is on nobody's plan, it is under two metres of water, and +you are not the only people who want it. + +II. THE QUIET CITY - a closed city in the Urals, October 1962 - Fri evening +You have worked here eleven years and long ago stopped being curious about the +tapes. On Monday the gates shut for an administrative period. On Tuesday a +technician takes off his headphones and walks into the lake. On Friday, at six +in the morning, someone is going to close a switch. + +III. FULL VOLUME - Berlin, today - Sat evening +A lacquer disc came out of a box of Cold War acetates at auction and sold for +four hundred euros to a producer who liked the label. He sampled fifteen +seconds of it. You have almost certainly already heard it. At midnight it +closes a festival, live and uncut, to two hundred thousand people.
