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.
