“I have this feeling that my luck is none too good
This sword here at my side don’t act the way it should
Keeps calling me its master, but I feel like its slave
Hauling me faster and faster to an early, early grave
And it howls, it howls like hell”

After having such a good time at Gary Con 2022, I am super excited for Gamehole Con 2022. Here are the games I intend to run at Gamehole Con 2022. This is all tentative as I don’t have control over the time slots (I can request a particular slot but there is no guarantee I will get it) and I still have to finish writing Tomb Of The Robomancer, A New Evil, and Attack Of The Hypershark. I do plan to submit these as soon as event submission opens on April 15th.

MCC: Tomb Of The Robomancer

An ancient tomb has been unearthed in the hothouse jungle by a terra quake near your tribal home. You have been chosen to investigate the tomb’s secrets. Will you be able to puzzle out the secrets of this ancient tomb or will it remain a mystery?  This is a 0-level funnel for MCC (Mutant Crawl Classics). Pregens will be provided.

Thursday at 8:00 AM (4 Hours) – 5 Players

MCC: A New Evil

A strange new group of mutants has begun to appear in your hothouse jungle home. They are encroaching on your tribe’s territory. You have been asked to find out more about these new mutants and where they are coming from. And then drive them out of your tribe’s territory. This is a 1st level MCC (Mutant Crawl Classic) adventure. Pregens will be provided.

Friday at 8:00 AM (4 Hours) – 5 Players

MCC: Evil Of The Ancients

For centuries it has lurked in the dark, forgotten by man and mutant, a terrible entity left behind by the Ancients’ meddling in cosmic forces they did not fully understand. Trapped in this world, this alien intellect seeks only to escape, but to do so, it requires lives. What the adventures think is just another forgotten vault left behind by the Ancients may in truth contain the most terrifying threat they’ve ever faced. This is a 3rd Level MCC (Mutant Crawl Classic) Adventure. Pregens will be provided.

Saturday at 8:00 AM (4 Hours) – 5 Players

Viking Death Squad: The Dogs Of Leadgrave

Despite their best efforts, the people of a settlement called Leadgrave are being plagued by ever-increasing packs of dogs. When an Infinitum holding cell makes landfall near their little town, the locals offer to free the occupants from cryo-torture in exchange for help with their dog problem. The heroes have little choice, but the dog menace hides a dark secret, and now there’s only one way out: straight through the Devil’s Den. This is a Viking Death Squad adventure. Pregens will be provided.

Thursday at 2:00 PM (4 Hours) – 5 Players

Sharktoberfest: Attack Of The Hypershark

A giant, super-fast, armored shark is terrorizing the beaches of California. Can you stop it? Can you discover its origins and prevent more hypersharks from being created? This is a QAGS: Sharktoberfest adventure. Characters will be made at the table.

Friday at 2:00 PM (4 Hours) – 5 Players

Tales From The Floating Vagabond: The Reich Stuff

Can the adventures stop the Space Nazis from giving Hitler the space program in 1936, thereby creating a twisted timeline that even Harry Turtledove couldn’t unravel?

 Engage in derring-do! Hob-nob with historical figures! Shoot lots and lots of space nazis!

This is a Tales From The Floating Vagabond adventure. Pregens will be provided.

Saturday at 2:00 PM (4 Hours) – 5 Players

Well, I’m back from Gary Con. I played in two games and ran six games. It was a blast to play with people in person for a change. I had a great time.

Let’s talk about the games. (I will avoid spoilers in case some of you play these games at future conventions or otherwise.)

My first game on Thursday at 9:00 AM was a Call of Cthulhu 5th Edition game called “Save Weird Tales”. All of the characters were famous writers of weird fiction. I played Clark Ashton Smith. We were called together by the editor of Weird Tales at their Chicago headquarters. I won’t say any more about it as I don’t want to reveal any details of the adventure. In the end, we prevailed. I had a blast. I love playing Call of Cthulhu.

My second game was also on Thursday at 2:00 PM. It was a session of Hyperborea (AKA AS&SH) titled “Hyperborea: Spirits Of The Land”. I played a cleric of the snake god. We won but it was on our very last breath. Only one character was still up. It was a lot of fun.

For the rest of the con, I ran MCC (Mutant Crawl Classics). I ran two sessions of “Hive of The Overmind”, two sessions of “Reliquary Of The Ancient Ones”, and Two sessions of “Carnage In The Casino”. One of each on Friday and one of each on Saturday.

Each session had four players with four characters each. Each session ran a little short of the full planned 4 hours. There were two sessions that resulted in TPK (Total Party Kills). In the rest of the sessions, the players won. It was a lot of fun for all that played and myself. (All the players said they had fun.)

Overall it really got me excited for the other convention I plan to attend this year, GameHole Con 9. I have big plans for it (which I will detail in future blog posts.)
