The players have hands of oversized cards with various artistic pictures. The active player secretly selects one of his cards and gives a very brief description. The other players secretly select their own cards which match the description. The chosen cards are shuffled and revealed, then players vote on which was chosen by the active player. Each correct answer gives points to the guesser and the active player. Each incorrect answer gives points to the player who submitted the guessed card. However, if all of the guesses are correct -- or none of them are -- then the active player gets no points and all the other players get points. The game ends when the deck is empty. The greatest total wins the game.

By Larry Wilhelm. A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for levels 3–7. The Blakros family, long an ally of the Pathfinder Society, has come into possession of a manor house in the imperial nation of Cheliax, where a once prominent noble family was known to practice diabolism before the Age of Lost Omens. The Pathfinders' task is simple: clear the abandoned manor of any remaining threats before the Blakroses move in. Unfortunately, the estate hasn't sat empty as long as the Blakroses think it has, and its recent inhabitants were anything but the devil-worshipers who originally built the manor.

Pregen Characters will be available.
By Brandon Hodge. The Continued Session of a 3 Session adventure for 2nd-4th level characters For decades, the tiny village of Ravenmoor has existed quietly on the upper reaches of the Lampblack River, far from the centers of civilization in Varisia. Linked to the outside world only by an overgrown, mostly forgotten trail, the villagers are comfortable with their isolation. Their ways are humble, quaint, and at times odd, and when travelers come, they find the town awkward and unmemorable. Certainly, the lack of a village inn, the oppressive humidity, and the bug-infested moors and swamps that surround the village do little to encourage visitors. When a clerk in the city of Magnimar discovers that, due to a clerical error, the village of Ravenmoor hasn’t paid taxes in years, a tax collector is sent to the distant community to settle accounts with its mayor. When the tax collector fails to return, however, a group of adventurers must travel to the town during its Founders’ Feast celebration to investigate his disappearance. Did he really make off with the taxes for himself, as the villagers suspect? Or did he never make it out of Ravenmoor at all? Pregen Characters will be available.
Fates Worse Than Death A girl is missing. Finding her would be a nobler mission than most shadowrunners normally pursue, which means there must be a catch. And there is.

If they’re lucky, they’ll find Ruth alive. If they’re unlucky, they’ll find her alive and transformed. Pregen Characters will be available.

The game is set in their Warhammer 40,000 universe and draws a certain degree of inspiration from the Alien movies. The term "Space Hulk", from which the game gets its name, is used within the Warhammer 40,000 universe for any masses of ancient, derelict starships, asteroids, and other assorted space junk drifting in and out of the Warp that eventually merges into one massive form, ranging from the size of a small moon to a large planet, which drift through the territory of the Imperium.

Note: This game will run multiple times in its time slot, so stop by and join in the fun.

Sometimes, it's not just people who die, but places. When people die and leave unfinished business, sometimes a part of their souls linger behind as ghosts. From time to time, however, a place has a purpose too, and sometimes that purpose can't be realized because the place perishes before its time. Leaving behind restless spirits. All is Dust takes a group of mundane mortal characters and ushers them through a horror story featuring one of America's ghost towns, a gutted mining center called Harmony. This dead town isn't just abandoned, though. Spirits remain, lingering in madness and unresolved anger. Note: This game is more about story than mechanics or combat. In fact it is unlikely that there will be combat at all. It's a tale of horror and mystery. The story is a riddle that can not be solved with mere force. Players interested in battle and tactics would not be interested in this game. Players interested in heavy amounts of rp, drama, and story would be.
The Great Old Ones ruled the earth aeons before the rise of humankind. Originally they came from the gulfs of space and were cast down by even greater beings. Remains of their cyclopean cities and forbidden knowledge can still be found on remote islands in the Pacific, buried amid the shifting sands of vast deserts, and in the frigid recesses of the polar extremes. Now they sleep -- some deep within the enveloping earth and others beneath the eternal sea, in the drowned city of R'lyeh, preserved in the waters by the spells of mighty Cthulhu. When the stars are right they will rise, and once again walk this Earth. Call of Cthulhu is Chaosium’s classic roleplaying game of Lovecraftian horror in which ordinary people are confronted by the terrifying and alien forces of the Cthulhu Mythos.
You awake in the cold cargo bay of an old rust-bucket ship floatin' out in the black. You can't remember your own name, and by the looks of the other people you woke up with you aren't the only one.

This adventure involves far more social roleplay than combat.
By Joshua J. Frost. A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 12th level characters (Tier: 12). You and your fellow Pathfinders are hot on the trail of the traitor to the Pathfinder Society as Venture-Captain Eliza Petulengro once again sends you into the Maze of the Open Road to track the traitors' co-conspirators.

A game is built around one core concept: The players take on the roles of mice in the Mouse Guard, the military and humanitarian force that patrols the Territories, an animals-only realm with medieval-level technolog, and go on adventures that test their beliefs and ideals. There are no humans anywhere in Mouse Guard; just mice and other animals. Most of those other animals are no more intelligent than their real-world counterparts. Mice, weasels, and weasel allies (ferrets, martens, minks, and sables) are the only exceptions: they all have human-level intelligence, build and wield tools and weapons, and have developed complex societies. In their duties, Mouse Guard characters will face many animal enemies, weather the seasons, rescue other mice, assist mouse towns in surviving.

By Richard Pett. A most unusual adventure for 1st-level goblin characters. The Licktoad goblins of Brinestump Marsh have stumbled upon a great treasure—fireworks! Yet unfortunately for them, the tribe member responsible for the discovery has already been exiled for the abhorrent crime of writing (which every goblin knows steals words from your head). To remedy this situation, the Licktoads’ leader, His Mighty Girthness Chief Rendwattle Gutwad, has declared that the greatest heroes of the tribe must venture forth to retrieve the rest of the fireworks from a derelict ship stranded in the marsh. In order to prove themselves as the Licktoads’ bravest goblins, the PCs must complete a series of dangerous dares, from swallowing bull slugs and braving the dreaded Earbiter to dancing with Squealy Nord himself. Yet even once they’ve proven their mettle, the adventure is just beginning. For the ship in question is far from uninhabited, and Vorka the cannibal goblin would like nothing better than a few tasty visitors.... We Be Goblins! is an adventure for 1st-level characters in which the PCs play a horde of malicious and murderous goblins, written for the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game.

Leave Nothing on the Table When the campaigning is done, the debates are over, and the voters are heading out to cast their votes, it’s time for the final push. Whether you’re fighting for a particular candidate or a specific cause, you don’t want to feel like there was more you could have done, that there was one more gambit you could have pulled to put your side over the top. Now is your final chance to make a difference before the votes are counted. It’s Election Day in Seattle, and there’s plenty up for grabs, including the future of the Ork Underground. The power players of the sprawl want things to go their way—whatever way that may be—and they’re not pulling any punches.

A party game for horrible people. Unlike most of the party games you've played before, Cards Against Humanity is as despicable and awkward as you and your friends. The game is simple. Each round, one player asks a question from a Black Card, and everyone else answers with their funniest White Card. Cards Against Humanity contains material that may be considered offensive to some. A good (and somewhat warped) sense of humor is required to play.
