You wake up imprisoned in a cell with a note from the FBI agent: “Sorry things have turned out this way. I’ll lure the sentry out with a story, but it won’t hold long.

Telepathy Acclimation Program, or TAP, was a program set up to train potential human telepaths. Children who showed telepathic potential were sent to Station Zero, a facility located deep in the Mojave Desert for training. You were one of the children who was sent to this facility. Officially, TAP’s function was “to evaluate telepathic abilities so an understanding of this phenomenon could be compiled.” In reality, they did physical and psychological experiments on you and other children. The facility was closed down, and your memories of the place is hazy. After years of searching, you and a group of TAP victims were finally able to locate the now-abandoned facility. Some old systems are still active though. As soon as you enter the facility, it goes into a lockdown...Paid event: $17.

You are an investigative journalist working for the renowned newspaper Daily Trumpet. A few weeks ago, an undercover FBI operative contacted the Trumpet. He told a story about a terrorist organization, called Sons of Sahar, planning an attack on US soil. He believed someone in the FBI was “letting this happen”. After checking the story, you and your team agreed to meet with him in person at a diner in a remote town. When you arrived to the meeting location, however, men in black masks jumped the diner and subdued you. You wake up imprisoned in a cell with a note from the FBI agent: “Sorry things have turned out this way... I’ll lure the sentry out with a story, but it won’t hold long. You have to recover their action plan and get out within 30 minutes.” Paid event: $17

How Adults Can Talk to Adolescents About Serious Issues, Create Change, and Save Lives!

In this panel, 13-year-old Comic Book Author Shelbi Webb, and her parents, Jason and Maggie, discuss when Shelbi was an 11-year-old victim of bullying, experienced four suicides in two years, and has watched friends and family endure LGBTQ+ intolerance, mental illness and addiction. This has helped Shelbi grow closer to her family and become a champion for kids while bridging the communication gap between youth and adults. Jason and Maggie talk about the struggle of seeing their young daughter suffer emotionally and finding the appropriate way to talk to her about her feelings while building trust. Shelbi and her family share a message of “therapy” not being a bad word. The vehicle for distributing the message is Sugar Glider a Comic with a Cause. Featuring the popular band X Ambassadors in the first series of the comic book, the teen hero gains super powers including increased speed, heightened metabolism but most important is an enlarged empathy. The antagonists are personifications of problems that adolescents face every day from bullying to self image and from addiction to suicide. This comic is a platform for adults and kids to talk to one another in a non-confrontational manner about real-life topics that are serious issues with the youth in the world today. Sugar Glider is on a move to create change and offer hope and healing. Guest: Shelbi Webb

Gangs of Waterdeep is a Dungeons & Dragons AE adventure for the six 3rd-level pregenerated characters included with the adventure. Using characters other than those provided is not allowed, as the characters are created to fit specifically into the story and encounters of the adventure. The D&D Open is a competitive event designed for multiple groups playing together. Players participating in the event can earn rewards that can be applied to one D&D Adventurers League character. Rewards can only be applied to a single DDAL character, as described on the official D&D Open reward certificate provided to players at the end of the event. The event runs for approximately 8 hours, with a break between the first and second round. In the past, the D&D Open was a highly competitive event where the players vied to ”win”” by earning the most points within a highly structured scoring system. This new incarnation of the D&D Open is a departure from those early iterations. While competitive aspects of the event remain intact, the event’s main goal has changed: FUN FOR EVERYONE! This D&D Open maintains a scoring system, although the scoring isn’t as rigid as D&D Open events of the past, and prizes can be earned in many ways. Not only will prizes be given to the groups that get the most points, but additional prizes are possible for roleplaying, problem solving, or just being in the right place at the right time. This D&D Open also adds some theatrical elements that allow the players, DMs, and other volunteers to roleplay at different tables. Day Room Table Start End Friday 211AB 1 2:30 PM 6:30 PM

Mists of Mwangi

Pathfinder Lugizar Trantos recently returned from the Mwangi Expanse with haunted eyes and a pack full of strange idols. Absalom’s famed Blakros Museum purchased his pieces and Lugizar vanished. The strange monkey idols he pulled from the misty jungles of Mwangi carry with them a fell curse, and now their power has laid claim to the museum. Can the Pathfinder Society uncover the source of the curse in time, or will the Blackros Museum be forever lost to the mists of Mwangi? Day Room Table Start End Friday 213B 5 6:00 PM 11:00 PM

On Sevenfinger’s Sails

Over the years, the Pathfinder Society has sent several teams into the mist-shrouded Gloomspires to explore the tomb of the legendary pirate Sempet Sevenfingers. Each has contended with unforeseen horrors, but the way to Sevenfingers’s final resting place and his treasures has remained hidden and sealed—until now. While Sempet’s natural life may have ended, he remains a powerful opponent, one whose mastery over the magic of the Gloomspires has allowed him to reach beyond his tomb into a realm of myths and nightmares in order to seize a frightful new source of power. Can the PCs defeat this wily ancient pirate, or will they become the next victims of Sempet’s greed? Day Room Table Start End Sunday 213B 6 12:00 PM 4:30 PM

Pathfinder Special: The Hao Jin Cataclysm

Many centuries ago, the legendary sorceress Hao Jin crafted a museum demiplane, ripping locations from across Golarion to add to her personal collection. When she vanished without a trace, the demiplane began falling into disrepair. Ever since the Pathfinder Society gained access to this realm seven years ago, its agents have been gradually exploring the demiplane’s wonders, meeting its people, and cataloging its preserved historical relics. Former Pathfinder Master of Spells Aram Zey has just made a terrible discovery—the demiplane’s deterioration has reached a critical stage. Unless the Pathfinder Society intervenes, the entire demiplane will rip apart violently, ejecting most of its contents into the Astral Plane and killing everyone inside. Yet it isn’t as simple as sewing the demiplane back together with some metaphysical thread. Powerful forces from both within the tapestry and outside of it seek to hasten the destruction or profit off the chaos, and the impending apocalypse has thrown the tapestry’s civilizations into turmoil.

Scavenger 5E

GAMING SCHEDULE

Kuro

Refugees of the Apocalypse: What Makes Scavenger Unique? Scavenger is something of an apocalyptic world. The pitch for it is simple: the world of Akara is dying, and the World Torn Apart is humanity’s last hope for survival. This is not a unique pitch. Change a few words and see what happens: the world of Athas is dying, and Sorcerer-Kings (or psionics or the Dragon) is humanity’s last hope for survival. Another: The world of Crifoth is dying, and a traitorous archdemon is humanity’s last hope for survival. In other words, on the surface, these apocalypse-plagued worlds can strike readers as pretty same. But there’s always a bit of nuance that separates them. Example: Crifoth is a game about people fighting against literal Hell to escape slavery. That last bit is key, since demon-human slavery is a bigger focus than in Dark Sun. Aesthetic, too, separates these worlds. In Athas magic is environmentally murderous, there is no metal, and psionic powers makes even the mundane strikingly weird. These are ways to keep the apocalypse fresh by changing how it feels in terms of: ”What is my character looking like?”or ”What is my character fighting against?” Scavenger includes similar elements, but we wanted to take it somewhere else too. Instead of exploring only apocalyptic fantasy like some of these other great pillars have, we wanted our setting to tell types of stories that, so far, have been absent in tabletop gaming. This is the Refugee Story. Let’s put it like this: Scavenger isn’t just about surviving an apocalypse. It’s a story about being displaced. Your characters are being forced to move from one part of Akara to another, and in some instances forced to move into an entirely new universe. In this way, it’s intensely personal; instead of a focus on killing enemies or eating everything you find or rushing to get as much power as possible or becoming the biggest fish, the focus is on where do I go now and what happened to my loved ones after they scattered and what are the dangers of this new home. To some, this might sound boring, but Scavenger is still a world for 5th Edition. There are monsters and combats and weird magics and all kinds of things that we (and all D&D player’s) have come to love. There are striking villains and places desperately in need of heroes. There’s cool loot to find and weird dungeons to explore. But at the heart of it sits the theme of displacement. Scavengers haven’t forgotten the history of their world. They remember their homes, their old lives, and are trying to recapture that somewhere new. They, and almost everyone else that lives in Akara, are refugees forced to go to increasingly more alien extremes to rebuild their lives. And all this isn’t to say that Crifoth or Dark Sun are worse than Scavenger. Crifoth is a setting I enjoy thoroughly, and Dark Sun is an absolute masterpiece and the first fantasy setting of its kind. Both offer tremendously cool experiences to be shared. It’s because these settings are such great pillars that the Scavenger project wants to take a new route to keeping the apocalypse fresh. We’re still working out the kinks but we think we have something here that, when applied to your normal games, will keep you coming back for more. Pregens Provided.
