Note: I will keep this blog post updated with game and attendance updates.

Saturday Night Games

• Saturday, August 13 6:30pm — 50 Fathoms (Jeff’s House)

Thursday Night Games

• Thursday, August 11 6:30pm — Gaslight Heroes [Yes: Mason, Jeff, Todd; No: Kevin, John]
• Thursday, August 18 6:30pm — d100 Legend (Game of Thrones-Style Fantasy) 1-Shot (Stan’s House) — Mason would like to playtest a gritty d100-based Fantasy system called ‘Legend’ which is a variation of Runequest (the d100 system that powers Call of Cthulhu, Stormbringer and others). If we like the system, this system could potentially power a Game of Thrones style gritty fantasy campaign with House Management. We’re kicking the tires on the system to see if we like it; plus it will be a great, fun one-shot! [Yes: Mason, Stan, Robert, Chris, John; No: Kevin; Maybe: Jeff, Todd]
• Thursday, August 25 6:30pm — Gaslight Heroes [Yes: Mason, John, Jeff, Todd; Maybe: Kevin]

Imperial Assault

Star Wars: Imperial Assault won ‘best board game’ and ‘Origins Fan Favorite’ awards at this year’s Origins convention.

Sci-Fi One-Shot Description: “Footsteps in the Dark”

“You were on your way to investigate an alert from an unmanned survey station in the outback when your transport was shot down by energy weapon fire. Now, stranded on an alien planet with nothing but their wits and the will to survive, a group of desperate heroes find themselves in a dangerous game with a voracious pack of proud hunters.”

This is the conclusion (of sorts) of a The Last Parsec one-shot I ran many months ago. We’ll have all-new characters using the Imperium rules. Time permitting, the story will segue into an epic space battle that we’ll run using miniatures.

Particular house rules we’ll be looking to test are:

• Armor that soaks variable damage (1d6-1, etc.)
• Hit Location rules
• Using fixed DEX score for initiative
• Revised Starship Miniatures rules
