    Dateline Tokyo: An international scientific taskforce has been rapidly convened as a giant multi tentacled creature was seen entering Tokyo Bay. Initial reports are sketchy but various eye witnesses report a huge humanoid figure with squid like features heading towards Shinjuku. One unconfirmed report states that the creature was doing the breaststroke. All local residents are advised to stay indoors and await instructions from the Self Defence Force. Further details will be announced as they come to hand.

Mists and Shadows
by Scott Vandervalk & Matt Eyles

    You are cordially invited to attend the 25th birthday celebration of the Lady Helene de Rose.
    To be hosted by Lady Helene’s father, Lord Willard de Rose at Rosethorn estate.
    The celebration will commence at sunset with mingling in the foyer, followed by dinner. Celebrations will then continue into the night with song and dance in the grand ballroom.
    Invitation and formal attire are required.
    Lord de Rose looks forward to your company, on this most festive of occasions.

    Such a simple piece of paper, but it means so much more. These social gatherings always do. Political marriages, allegiances and underhanded deals, it will all be there no doubt.

    You will be attending, as usual, for your own reasons.

    Dilisnya, de Rose, The Church of Ezra, Wickholm, Boritsi, Strecker, these names signify that this particular celebration is much more than the usual affair.

    • Pre-booking characters is preferred, but not essential.
    • Costumes are preferred, but also not essential.
    • Prizes will be given for good costuming.

    Email Matt Eyles <tanyel@hotmail.com> for character bookings and further info.

A single session freeform (well, freeformish – there will be basic stats, but no dice) game set in the Ravenloft campaign world for 8 to 12 players.

Respect My Arete 3.0: Redemption
by Aaron Fenwick and Ivan Nevill

  • "After four decades of war and economic collapse, we have saved humanity. On the ashes of the old world ,we have started to build a new one. And in the last decade of the twenty second century, we begin the task of lifting humanity's spirit to the ascension that is the One.

    Although a few heretics and remnants of the dark hoard still walk the earth, they will ultimately fail in the face of the divine will that is the One and we it's servants, the order of light.

    Reality must be ruled with the grip of the righteous hand, not manipulated from the shadows."

    - Cardinal Bishop Octavius, of the order of light, circa 2193.

Redemption is a Mage: the Ascension multiform for groups of 8 to 12 players, set in an alternate future. No knowledge of any of the previous games is required to play.
