THE ORIGINS 2008 EXCURSION AGENDA

This June, your friend and Adventure League chairperson will be hosting six different adventures for young people (and their grown-ups) at the Origins Game Fair in Columbus, Ohio. All of these events are come-as-you-are; dice and characters are provided, and no prior knowledge of the rules, or even how to play an RPG, is necessary. All that you need to bring are your sense of humor and your thirst for adventure.

The following is a complete agenda of these upcoming adventures, their dates and times, and event numbers for any who may be interested in joining an expedition. To pre-register for any of these events, visit www.originsgamefair.com

Thursday, June 26th 1:00pm - ChaosCon 2008 - A "bash-fest" adventure using the TOON RPG. The biggest game-and-geekery event in all of Toondom, ChaosCon, is once again under assault by congoers looking for a fun weekend - or looking to ruin everyone else's fun weekend. Event # 6369

Friday, June 27th, 12:00 noon - Crawl of Catchoolu - An eldritch horror adventure using the TOON RPG. A toony spoof of the works of H.P. Lovecraft, in which characters stumble upon an accounting seminar with very dark purposes... Event # 6733

Friday, June 27th, 4:00pm - Curse of the Scary Godmother - An adventure using the Faery's Tale RPG. Annelise, a mortal child, doesn't know why her faery godmother has been acting so strangely lately, and it's up to the heroes to get to the bottom of things (and to undo all the mischief that her "scary godmother" has been up to! Event # 6867

 

 

Saturday, June 28th, 10:00am - The Case of the Rock Star's Ghost - An adventure using the Meddling Kids RPG. An old theater scheduled for demolition is haunted by the ghost of a dead rock star. Is it a real ghost? Why has it suddenly started appearing? Will the meddling kids ever get to the bottom of this mystery? Event # 7101

 

 

Saturday, June 28th, 2:00pm - Loose Threads - An adventure using the Prince's Kingdom RPG. In Islandia, the king's daughters and sons travel to the many islands of the kingdom to restore order and keep the peace. But one day, when a beautiful tapestry is stolen from the great hall of one of the islands, the princes find that solving the crime is one of their biggest challenges ever. Event # 7242

 

 

Sunday, June 29th, 11:00am - The Ruins of OnceWas - An adventure using the Zorceror of Zo RPG. A motley team of adventurers must explore an abandoned city to find the answer to an ancient riddle. But what they find there is even more mysterious than the riddle itself. Event # 7493

 

 

The events can fill quickly, so please register as early as possible - and if you don't get a chance to play in the game that you wanted to, stop by just to say "Hello" - I may even be able to arrange some off-the cuff adventures while I'm there.

INFORMATION ABOUT ORIGINS: The Origins International Game Expo is held in Columbus, Ohio during the last weekend of June.
