the New World. Can they triumph against the forces of the Adversary before the
veil between worlds is torn asunder and devils walk the earth?
– WHDP-Gate - The Gates of Flame: During the reign of Solomon, the world was
bedeviled with creatures that plagued mankind. Attacking from land and sky,
these beasts dwelt in the shadows and hunted men like animals. One of these
Nephilim, as they were known, was named Algar. He commanded a host of daemons
and spirits that rampaged through the kingdom of Israel and beyond. Many tried
to stand against him, but all failed, paying the price for their failure as
their souls were ripped from their bodies to roam the ether in torment until a
wise magus imprisoned Algar within the Gates of Flame. For 2000 years, the
hidden servants of Algar have sought the fiend's release, and only the Witch
Hunters stand in the way.

abound with blessings: but he that maketh haste to be rich shall not be
innocent. Revelation 11:9; And they of the people and kindreds and tongues and
nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and shall not suffer

Milwaukee Summer Revel, one of the longest consecutive running gaming
conventions in Wisconsin, brings another year of fun and excitement to the Tommy
Thompson Youth Center in West Allis Wisconsin this June 12th to the 14th;
brought to you by Cold Iron Conventions (CIC). Come to the land of beer and

Enjoy the RPGA's premier and largest 4e D&D campaign in the world, Living
Forgotten Realms:
–ADAP1-1 Barrow of the Ogre King: For many years, goblins have laired in a
nearby dungeon hidden in the boughs of the Southwood. This dungeon is known to
some as the Barrow of the Ogre King. Recently, the goblins have become bold

up to your newly-formed band of adventurers to deal with the threat the goblins
pose and discover why they've attacked the town. An adventure set in Loudwater
for characters levels 1-2. **Con Organizer Suggestion: Please sign up for this

play easily in 3 rounds together. We will be forming tables with this in mind
each day.
–ADAP1-5 Menace of the Icy Spire: Winter has come far too early to the Gray

–CORM1-4 Black Steel and Blue Fire: What is a man touched by the Spellplague? A

Ask the man himself, though, and he will say a man touched by the Spellplague is
a man alone. A Living Forgotten Realms adventure set in Cormyr for characters

Navigate brutal intrigues in the Shattered Empires of Paradigm Concepts' LIVING
ARCANIS (D&D 3.5 rules):
–LA-AP6-03 Storms Over Argent Seas: The Standards of the Legions have been a
recognized symbol of Imperial military might since the dawn of the First Empire.
But what is truly known about these powerful relics of a lost Age of Glory?
Truthfully, not much. So when you are asked to assist in the deconstruction of
one o the oldest standards, you are truly headed into the deep, dark realm of
the unknown. The Resistance in Grand Coryan is at last prepared to undertake a
dangerous gambit involving the Standard of the Legio Lex Talionis. Can the
Legio, the Inquisition it serves, and even perhaps Grand Coryan itself, survive
the sundering of this particular standard? Lend your voice, sword arm or trained
finger to the struggle and tip the balance. This LIVING ARCANIS STANDARD
adventure is designed for APL 11-21. Characters below 7th level may not play
this adventure.
–LA-IK-COL-02-01 Many Voices: A simple task – recover an item from a long-hidden
tomb. But is any task truly simple when there are so many voices calling out to
you? PCs with the Disfavor of Marden val'Dellenov from Scent of Prosperity and
Ruin will not be able to complete this adventure without the assistance of those
without such disfavor. This is a Living Arcanis STANDARD adventure, designed for
1st to 16th level characters (APL 2 through 15). Characters not within this
level range may not be played in this scenario.
–LA-IK-EMS-02-01 The Cold and the Dark: What is the essence or archaeology? Some
say archaeology is the rediscovery of lost treasure. Some say archaeology is the
"leg work" of writing history. Some say archaeology is just a hobby for the rich
and idle. There is some truth in all these explanations, and as a result
archaeology can be hard to quantify. What is it worth? What risks are
appropriate in its pursuit? The disaster at Dig 17 has seemingly terminated any
chance to understand how the people of the ancient monastery lived and died -
their tale lost and never to be retold. For at least one archeologist from
Milandir that was unacceptable. But despite precautions others have also begun
to hear of Dig 17 and their interests do not lie in learning the old stories.
Will disaster converge again upon the abandoned ruins? Or could swift heroes
ride down destructive elements and see that the border between Canceri and the
Hinterlands remains untroubled? This module is the third of the Shadows Over the
Hinterlands series and it is helpful, though not required, to have played the
Emerald Society adventures of I.C. 1029, particularly LA-IK-01-01 THE LONG
SHADOW and LA-IK-01-03 TWILIGHT ALWAYS FALLS. Be warned, the rulers of Canceri
are repressive and respond poorly to individuals who openly challenge their
authority. This LIVING ARCANIS STANDARD adventure is designed for 1st to 12th
level characters (APL 2 through 11). Characters not within this level range may
not be played in this scenario.
–LA-IK-PAL-02-01 Taxes: Do you dare work for the most feared group on Onara? Not
the Silence, not the Voiceless Ones – the tax collectors! Several tax collectors
have gone missing. What horrors might be uncovered? This LIVING ARCANIS CRAWL
adventure is designed for 2 to 10 level characters (APL 2 through 11).
Characters not within this level range may not be played in this scenario.
–LA-OCR-02-01 The Shield of Sand: A diplomatic contingent from the Elorii
enclave of Entaris recently visited Grand Coryan for talks with the Emperor. Two
of the delegates mysteriously vanished, having supposedly gone to Old Coryan
alone. Why did they go, and what happened to them? Although official apologies
for failure to protect the dignitaries have been offered and accepted,
representatives of the Mother Church want to discover the truth behind their
disappearance. This LIVING ARCANIS STANDARD adventure is designed for 1st to
12th level characters (APL 2 through 13). Characters not within this level range
may not be played in this scenario.
– Living Arcanis Replays: We will have most of the available LA and IK modules
available for play. Don't miss out on any of the Arcanis goodness!
–Playing LA for the first time? You can find more information on the campaign
and rules for generating a character at: http://www.livingarcanis.com/.

Battle the minions of the Adversary during colonial times in Paradigm Concepts'
WITCHHUNTER: DARK PROVIDENCE:
–DP1-06 Beasts of the Forest: "You bring darkness; it becomes night, and all the
beasts of the forest prowl." Rumors filtering out of the Carolina Colony tell of
colonists and savages being attacked and torn asunder by vicious beasts in the
dark of night. The Governor of Carolina has posted £100 for the head of the
beast, which is sure to bring all sorts of armed good-for-naught and scalawags.
–DP1-11 The Forgotten: In the village of Beaujois, everyone is having a
wonderful time at the fair. Everyone, that is, besides the Witch Hunters who
have newly arrived. What sinister force lurks behind the joyful music and the
colorful streamers?
–DP2-01 Red Tide: An ordinary voyage takes a grim and unexpected turn, leaving a
small group of Witch Hunters to face a mysterious, unseen enemy with only their
wits, faith, and courage. Lives hang in the balance…and perhaps more than mere
lives.
–DP2-04 Cargo: Off the coast of La Florida, the waters have always seemed warm
and inviting. Recently, however, you have learned not to trust the gentle waves,
for comfort often comes immediately before betrayal. Someone thirsts for
revenge, so there is little time for rest.
–Witch Hunter replays: Missing an old adventure? Have friends who want to come
along? We have the module and the judges.
–Playing Witch Hunter for the first time? You can find more information on the

the desolate wastes of Osirion's notorious Parched Dunes to find the sphinx,
find Safan, and uncover the mystery he sought. With a band of cloaked riders on

before time runs out? This product is a Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for
1st to 5th level characters (Tiers: 1–2, 4–5).
–PSS12 Stay of Execution: When a petty thief named Hadge gets a lucky break and
makes off with a powerful divination focus of the Pathfinder Society's masked
leadership, you and your fellow Pathfinders set out to the sparsely populated
Taldor frontier to find him and recover the focus. When the local governor

chase him off. But when the old beggar reveals a wayfinder and tells a tale of

inventory of a Qadiran smuggler in the massive trade city of Sedeq, the Society
wasted little time dispatching you there to recover them. Finding the smuggler
dead and a familiar face from Absalom responsible, your task quickly becomes a

you into a wintry wilderness of primordial beastmen and snow creatures not seen
below the snow line to do just that. With the Aspis Consortium also seeking the

–Pathfinder replays: Pathfinder Society Replay Events #1~#6. Missing an old
adventure? Have friends who want to come along? We have the module and the
judges.
–Playing Pathfinder for the first time? You can find more information on the
campaign and rules for generating a character at:
http://paizo.com/pathfinderSociety.

Not a Role-playing fan? Would you rather sit around board with some friends?
Want to take a slot off to relax? Enjoy our board games. We have both
tournaments and games for fun!
–Agricola: In Agricola, you're a farmer in a wooden shack with your spouse and
little else. On a turn, you get to take only two actions, one for you and one
for the spouse, from all the possibilities you'll find on a farm: collecting
clay, wood, or stone; building fences; and so on. You might think about having
kids in order to get more work accomplished, but first you need to expand your
house. And what are you going to feed all the little rugrats? The rules include
a beginner's version and an advanced version. Agricola is a turn-based game.
There are 14 game turns plus 6 harvest phases (after turn 4, 7, 9, 11, 13, and
14). Each player starts with two playing tokens (farmer and wife) and thus can
take two actions per turn. There are multiple options, and while the game
progresses, you'll have more and more: first thing in a turn, a new action card
is flipped over. Problem: Each action can be taken just once per turn, so it's
important to do some things with high preference. Each player also starts with a
hand of 7 job cards (of more than 160 total) and 7 item cards (of more than 140
total) that he/she may use during the game if they fit in his/her strategy.
Speaking of: there are countless strategies, some depending on your card hand.
Sometimes it's a good choice to stay on course and sometimes it is better to
react to your opponents actions.
–Powergrid: The object of Power Grid is to supply the most cities with power
when someone's network gains a predetermined size. In this new edition, players
mark pre-existing routes between cities for connection, and then bid against
each other to purchase the power plants that they use to power their cities.
Multiple map boards will be used in this slot. Expect to play 2 games.
–Puerto Rico: The players are plantation owners in Puerto Rico in the days when
ships had sails. Growing up to five different kind of crops: Corn, Indigo,
Coffee, Sugar and Tobacco, they must try to run their business more efficiently
than their close competitors; growing crops and storing them efficiently,
developing San Juan with useful buildings, deploying their colonists to best
effect, selling crops at the right time, and most importantly, shipping their
goods back to Europe for maximum benefit. The game system lets players choose
the order of the phases in each turn by allowing each player to choose a role
from those remaining when it is their turn. No role can be selected twice in the
same round. The player who selects the best roles to advance their position
during the game will win.
–Stone Age: Featured Tournament!! $50 in Prizes!! Players struggle to survive
the Stone Age by working as hunters, collectors, farmers, and tool makers. As
you gather resources, and raise animals, you work to build the tools needed to
build your civilization.
–Ticket To Ride: With elegantly simple gameplay, Ticket to Ride can be learned
in 3 minutes, while providing players with intense strategic and tactical
decisions every turn. Players collect cards of various types of train cars they
then use to claim railway routes in North America. The longer the routes, the
more points they earn. Additional points come to those who fulfill Destination
Tickets, goal cards that connect distant cities; and to the player who builds
the longest continuous route.

following events... (although space is filling already up, pre-
register today!)

Enjoy the RPGA premier 4e D&D campaign, Living Forgotten Realms:
– AGLA1-2 At the Foot of the Lighthouse: The Sea of Fallen Stars is
the lifeblood for many who live along the coast of Aglarond. For the
men and women who ply their trades over its dangerous depths, the
sight of a lighthouse means a welcome return to the relative safety
of shore. That is, of course, unless the lighthouse in question is no
longer dedicated to guiding travelers along the safe path. A Living
Forgotten Realms adventure set in Aglarond for characters levels 4-7.

a wealthy noble lord. You are entrusted with the task of saving her
before it's too late. A Living Forgotten Realms adventure set in

revenue involved in clearing out a dungeon. Sometimes the dungeon
itself is worth a hefty sum. A Living Forgotten Realms adventure set

–BALD1-2 The Night I called the Undead Out: You are asked to recover
a stolen statue from an abandoned mansion in the Bloombridge district
of Baldur's Gate. What seems to be a simple task quickly turns into a
night of terror. The timing of these events seems more than a bit
coincidental. Can you protect the locals and still survive long
enough to unravel the mystery? A Living Forgotten Realms adventure
set in Baldur's Gate for characters levels 4-7.
–CORE1-4 Crystal Clear: The Low Market of Athkatla is no place for
the more delicate flowers of civilization. For those of a less savory
character, or whose reputations need not be protected quite so
zealously, however, the Low Market is a bazaar like no other. Goods
and services of all kinds can be had as long as the price is right,
and the price is always right. But today, the coin of the realm seems
to be something other than gold. A Living Forgotten Realms adventure
set in Amn for characters levels 4-7.
–CORE1-6 Incident at the Gorge of Gauros: Powerful forces work, for
both weal and woe, in the lands surrounding the decimated nation of
Thay. Where the forces of good and evil clash great power can be
unleashed, drawing those who seek destruction, and those who strive
to prevent destruction: A Living Forgotten Realms adventure set on
the border between Rashemen and Thay for characters levels 7-10.

into the mines and find out who (or what) is trying to sabotage the
Iomic Crystals. A Living Forgotten Realms adventure for characters
levels 7-10 set in the Nelanther Isles.

times but believes that a secret near their family's decaying estates

restore the family's honor? A Living Forgotten Realms adventure set

safety might not be easy. Sometimes... things are exactly as they
seem. A Living Forgotten Realms adventure set in the Dalelands for
characters levels 7-10.
–DRAG1-2 A Thin Gray Line: Shady people making even shadier deals are
commonplace in the docks district of Westgate. Locals have learnt

out a living, but when a new chief sergeant upsets the delicate
balance of power, the fallout threatens to affect the entire docks
district. A Living Forgotten Realms adventure set in the Dragon Coast
for character levels 4-7.
–EAST1-2 Marauder's Spear: Gnolls swarm across the river, over the

cry out for protection from these marauding dogs. Why are the gnolls
attacking this backwater in such numbers tonight? Who is the real
leader of the pack? Living Forgotten Realms adventure set in the East
Rift for characters levels 4-7.
–IMPL1-3 Lost Souls: Even in a place like Impiltur not all are
corrupt. Some bright souls still strife to help the defenseless and
weak, but there is always something dark ready to extinguish what
little light remains. Or is there more going on when you hear the
screams of terror coming from the shrine of Ilmater and the poorhouse
behind? A Living Forgotten Realms adventure set in the Impiltur for
character levels 7-10.
–MOON1-2 The Sea Drake: Valiant seafarers travel among the Moonshae
Isles every day, bringing food, supplies and information to isolated,

Drake, a sturdy Nordman vessel. The weather is rainy and the fog is
thick: a perfect time to sail the waters of the Moonshaes. A Living
Forgotten Realms adventure set in the Moonshae Isles for characters
levels 4-7.
–MOON1-3 Black Gold: Dirty Barnison got his treasure: a mysterious,
almost invisible, metallic stone of some unknown substance. A visitor

and is willing to pay top price for your efforts. A Living Forgotten
Realms adventure set in The Moonshae Isles for characters levels 7-
10.
–SPEC1-1 Shades of Zhentarim: Zhentil Keep is a city with a storied
history, even if most of the tale is not fit for innocent ears. The
mission to find the wayward son of a wealthy merchant leads deep into
the secrets, deceptions, and brutal power on which the dreaded
Zhentarim built their ominous keep. A Living Forgotten Realms two-
round special adventure set in the north section of Zhentil Keep for
characters levels 1-4.

the focus before the gangs of Porthmos tear him apart? This product

Venture-Captain Wallace is inclined to chase him off. But when the
old beggar reveals a wayfinder and tells a tale of demons and portals
to another world beneath the streets of Augustana, Wallace summons
you from Absalom to investigate. Will you make it through sewers,
swarms, and sanctuaries to uncover the truth or will the dangers of
the Augustana underworld consume you forever? This product is a

massive trade city of Sedeq, the Society wasted little time
dispatching you there to recover them. Finding the smuggler dead and
a familiar face from Absalom responsible, your task quickly becomes a

unleashed on the citizens of the Satrap. Can you find the statues in
time or will Sedeq be swallowed in a plague like none Golarion has

The third and last part of the story related in the previous two posts

---------

Abada whirled on Khavar.

"Are you mad, Captain? In the space of ten minutes, you have given
away everything you own. Am I to see you next week in my court as a
bankrupt ushdar?"

Khavar shrugged nonchalantly. "I doubt it, Aabada. Next week, I shall
be guarding some dirt farm in Durva Province, and I understand that
there is nothing much to buy there, so little need of cash."

At that moment there was yet another knock at the door, and Khavar
held up his hand to stem the old jurat's rebuttal.

"A moment longer, good sir. I require your services as a witness one
more time."

He left the room and returned, accompanied by a red-faced Thresher in
his thirties, big-boned but running to fat around the middle. The
Thresher stopped abruptly as he caught sight of the jurat, and bowed
cautiously. Abada inclined his head slightly.

Khavar made the introductions. "Abada al'Jurat, may I introduce Hashem
al'Thresher of Lopolla. I heard that he was in Falwur making some
inquiries, and I invited him over in case I was able to help."

"Indeed you can, Captain," the Thresher rasped. "You were Saba's
commanding officer, were you not? Yes, you will be able to help me
finalize my report."

"And what report is that, Hashem?" asked Abada, disliking something in
the Thresher's manner.

"I have heard a rumour that the invasion by Bissel is in direct
response to a raid by Ketite soldiers. I came from Lopolla immediately
to gather the facts."

"And what have you discovered?" the Jurat asked.

Hashem licked his lips. "Abada, it is as the rumour suggested. This
invasion was precipitated by a border raid carried out by the officers
and men led by none other than Khavar here! However, Khavar was
evidently just a pawn in a greater game. The raid was planned by none
other than Saba, the same woman that some are now holding up as a
`hero'. Although it would be easy to believe Saba was unaware that the
Margrave of Bissel was being crowned on the same day as the raid, the
coincidence is just too great. It is clear that Saba is part of a
larger plot against the Beygraf, and sought to bring discredit and
dishonour upon him by forcing a war upon him against his will! She is
guilty of treason against the Beygraf!" Hashem's face was bright red,
and saliva sprayed from his lips.

"But she is dead," Abada pointed out.

"Yes, she is dead at the hands of the invading Bisselites, surely a
just punishment for her crime. But now her fellow soldiers wish to
raise her from the dead. With my evidence put before a reasonable
Jurat—" Hashem looked at Abada hopefully, "—I can arrest her the
moment she is resurrected. I will drag her in chains to Lopolla and
bring her before the Beygraf himself for judgement. She will hang from
a meat hook before the day is out!" Hashem's eyes gleamed greedily.

"Certainly that is an action that will bring you to the attention of
the Copper Palace?" Abada commented drily.

Hashem realized his naked ambition was written across his face, and
abruptly changed his manner, becoming once again the obedient
Thresher. "If the Black Scorpions were to learn of my initiative,
perhaps a promotion would be a just reward for my work," he said piously.

Khavar interrupted. "There is only one problem, Hashem."

The Thresher turned to look at him curiously. "What?"

"I planned the attack on Thornward that day."

Hashem's eyes widened. "YOU did? No! I have a copy of your official
report here, stating that Saba was the intelligence officer charged
with tactical planning for your unit." He started to dig through a
shoulder bag full of papers.

"In this case, you are mistaken. I didn't care for Saba's tactical
planning, and had recently demoted her while I took on the task of
tactical planning."

Hashem shook his head and threw up his hands angrily. "No! You did not
report that!"

"I didn't feel a need to after she died," Khavar interjected coolly.
"She was dead. Who cared that I had busted her down to ensign in
charge of the haywagon? However, I can see now that I was wrong to not
add that to my final report. I shall file a revised report with the
details of her demotion immediately."

Hashem blinked. Slowly he drew himself up. "Very well, Captain, if you
were the one who planned the attack, then I place you under arrest on
the charge of treason. Come along, I have an Archon standing by to
teleport us to Lopolla tonight."

"No," Khavar replied.

"What?" Hashem was dumbfounded.

"I said `no', you buffoon," Khavar growled. "You have no evidence, you
only seek to place me under arrest and then use my arrest as proof of
my guilt." Before Abada could intercede, the captain strode over to
the sword rack and pulled the presentation blade from its sheath. With
a yell, he swung wildly, knocking the Thresher's turban from his head.
By instinct, Hashem drew his own blade and parried another two wild
swings from Khavar.

"No! Stop it!" Abada cried. Having seen Khavar wield his family sword
with deadly precision only a few minutes before, he watched, appalled,
as Khavar ineptly cut and thrust as if he had forgotten how to use a
sword. It suddenly occurred to him what Khavar was planning, but
before he could intervene, Hashem lunged. Khavar parried, but the
cheap presentation blade shattered, and Hashem buried the point of his
blade in Khavar's chest. As Khavar fell to the ground, Hashem made to
crush his skull with another swing, but Abada interceded.

"Enough, Thresher," he commanded. "You have already killed him."

As Hashem fell back and leaned against a wall, breathing heavily,
Abada kneeled beside the mortally wounded officer. Khavar looked up at
him and smiled.

"Forgive me, Jurat," he whispered. "Two weeks in the stocks for lying
to a jurat. Saba was… best officer I ever… Like a daughter…" His eyes
closed.

Abada sighed and brushed off his hands as he rose. Hashem had
recovered some of his bravado.

"So Khavar was the traitor! I shall return to Lopolla at once and
write my report!"

Abada carefully looked him over, and the Thresher wilted a bit under
the old Jurat's steady gaze.

"Return to Lopolla? I think not, Hashem. You have made grave
accusations against a Kaman officer. You must show yourself in my
court by noon tomorrow and substantiate these charges with the
evidence you have managed to gather."

Hashem's eyes widened with panic. "But… but… my evidence. Yes, I was
in the midst of gathering it! But I do not have all the pieces yet."

"Nevertheless, you must substantiate these charges of a treasonous
conspiracy against the Beygraf."

"But he attacked me!"

"Self-defence is not a defence in Ket," the Jurat reminded Hashem. "If
you did not have evidence that Khavar was guilty of treason, then you
could not place him under arrest, If you were not placing him under
arrest, then the skirmish I witnessed was simply a fight between two
Citizens of Ket. The penalty for murder of an army officer is life in
the mines. However, I will be lenient and allow you until noon
tomorrow to present evidence against Khavar in my court. If you
cannot, you will stand trial for murder."

He moved past the horror-stricken Thresher to the door.

"And now I must go report this tragic event and see that Khavar's body
receives a proper cremation. And I also have a donation of ten
thousand lances to make to a worthy cause…"

Part 2 of story started in the preceding message

-------

Abada shook his head in disbelief as he listened to the front door close.

"I have never seen anything like that, Khavar. Washing away a debt of
seventy thousand lances by selling all you own in order to free your
ushdar. You are very lucky to have your money back--Eshqi would have
been quite within his rights to keep it and invest it."

Khavar shrugged nonchalantly.

"After a man has been in your household for five years, and has saved
your life at least once, you come to trust what he will do, given the
opportunity."

"I suppose," the jurat replied. "Well, now that we have finished with
that, I must get these papers back to my courtroom—"

At that moment there was a knock at the door, and Khavar held up his
hand to forestall Abada.

"I am sorry to hold you here, Abada, but there are a couple of other
matters for which your presence is required."

Khavar waited for a moment as if expecting something, and then laughed
. "Perhaps I should not have let Eshqi go. I have forgotten how to
answer my own front door."

He disappeared, then came back with a young Kaman officer, who looked
askance at the bare room.

"Abada al'Jurat, may I introduce Lieutenant Yazad, Keeper of Saba."

Abada looked over the young man as he shook hands with him. Yazad did
not even seem to be twenty—a very young age for a lieutenant. A small
silver cylinder on a chain hung around the officer's neck.

"Yazad. Yazad," Abada murmured. "I have heard your name before." He
thought for a moment, then snapped his fingers. "You were the one who
snuck into the Bisselite camp and rescued the body of your commanding
officer."

Yazad dropped his eyes and shrugged. "My scout did the hard work. I
merely went along for the walk."

Abada wagged his finger back and forth in approbation. "Not what I
heard," he scolded. "I recall that you were the one that brought word
of the invasion to Ket before you rode back to rescue the body of…
What was her name again?"

"Saba. Lieutenant Saba," Yazad replied, grief shadowing his eyes for a
moment.

Khavar stepped forward. "And now, as Saba's Keeper, Yazad has taken on
a task at least as difficult, and just as honourable."

"Keeper," Abada murmured. "I am unfamiliar with this term."

"When a soldier dies performing a selfless and heroic act," Khavar
explained, "her fellow soldiers take a single strand of hair from the
body before it is cremated and choose someone to safeguard it." He
gently lifted the small silver cylinder on the chain around Yazad's
neck for a moment. "The Keeper also takes up a collection from his
fellow soldiers in order to pay to have the hero resurrected. All the
priests need is a single hair."

"And now you are Saba's Keeper, Yazad," Abada commented. "An admirable
goal. How much have you raised?"

"Just over twenty thousand lances," Yazad replied, his face glowing.
"My fellow officers and soldiers have been most generous."
"And how much do you need to collect?"

Yazad's cheeks flushed a bit.

"A hundred thousand lances, sir," he replied. His tone turned fierce.
  "I will succeed! Word is getting out about Saba's sacrifice, and how
she alerted Ket to the invasion. I am sure I will raise the rest of
the money!"

"A hundred thousand lances?" Aabada's eyebrows shot up. "That is a lot
of money! Do many Keepers succeed in their task?"

Yazad turned away slightly as Khavar wordlessly shook his head.

"What happens to the money you collected if you do not succeed?" the
old Jurat gently asked.

Yazad's mouth worked silently for a moment as he tried to frame a
reply. Khavar interjected, "The money is given to the fallen soldier's
family."

Abada coughed a little self-consciously. "Well, good luck, young man.
I'm sure the gods are on your side."

Khavar grinned at this. "Oh, yes," he said, "the gods have smiled on
Yazad today. Here is my contribution to Saba's fund."

Abada gasped as, for the second time, the Kaman captain pick up his
life savings in the leather backpack and casually gave it away,
handing it to the unsuspecting Yazad.

"You can take the time to count it if you wish," Khavar chuckled, "but
the good Jurat here will testify that that pack contains seventy
thousand lances."

For the second time in ten minutes, Abada saw someone speechless with
surprise.

"But… but… Captain…' Yazad stammered. "Seventy THOUSAND lances?"

"Seventy thousand, Lieutenant," Khavar confirmed.  "I believe that
only leaves you with the task of finding about ten thousand lances.
Think you can do that?"

Yazad's mouth open and closed again. Then determination gripped his
slim frame.

"Yes, sir! Saba will be resurrected by the end of the week or I will
clean up the stables for a year!" He saluted sharply, bowed to the
Jurat and turned to exit.

"A moment more, Lieutenant," Khavar called. As the young officer
turned back, Khavar crossed to the sword rack and picked up one of the
sheathed scimitars. The brass sheath was old and scarred, but Khavar
held it with reverence. He drew the blade and riposted and lunged
against an unseen opponent, his stroke controlled and deadly. He
turned over the beautifully tempered and watermarked blade for them to
admire. "It comes down my family line from generation to generation—my
mother told me her grandfather had told her that his great-grandmother
had told him it was forged somewhere beyond the Dramidj Ocean before
the fall of the Baklunish Empire." He glanced up at Yazad. "I read in
your report that Saba lost her blade when she was killed?"

Yazad nodded.

Khavar considered the blade a moment longer, then returned it to its
sheath with a snick and held it out to Yazad. "Give this to her when
she lives again."

"But… sir, I can't take your family sword. What will you do for a blade?"

Khavar waved away the objections. "I have this other scimitar here,"
he said, waving casually at the other sword in a bright gold sheath.
"It is a presentation sword given to me some years ago for something
or other. It will do." He pressed his scimitar into Yazad's hand, and
his smile disappeared. "I have no children, Lieutenant," he said in a
low tone. "When you greet Saba again, tell her she was like a daughter
to me."

Yazad stared at his commanding officer, incomprehension clouding his
eyes. Finally he nodded. Shouldering the sack, he saluted Khavar, who
respectfully returned the salute. Bowing to the jurat, the young
officer left the room. For the second time in ten minutes, the two men
listened to the sound of the closing door echo around the empty room.

As the official Living Greyhawk campaign draws to a close tonight. I
would like to thank all of you who made it a surfing disco time.

I was weeding out some old material from my hard drive and cam across
the following story (broken into three parts) that I originally wrote
with the intention of publishing it here in the winter of 2007,
shortly after Bissel invaded Ket. Somehow the story did not get
posted. It is based on the events of interludes posted in message
#6681 & #6936, which you may want to read first to remind you of past
events.

Alan Brown
  Ordinary Citizen of Ket with a small farm just outside Molvar

---------------

Somewhere in Ket, 28th Day of Fireseek, CY597

Abada brushed off the dust that clung to his jurat's robes. It had
been a short walk from his courtroom, but the wind blowing from the
Yatils at this time of year dropped a constant supply of dirt onto the
streets of Falwur.  Satisfied that he looked socially acceptable, the
old Jurat knocked on Khavar's door.  He had met the popular Kaman
officer a few times, but had never been in the captain's quarters.
Just last week, Khavar had been in court for his ushdar's annual
accounting of service; Abada wondered why Khavar had asked him to a
meeting so soon afterwards.

The door opened and a fit-looking man in his thirties, marked as an
ushdar by the thin iron ring around his neck, bowed briefly and
motioned for the Jurat to enter. Abada nodded pleasantly to the man as
he entered the house—this was the ushdar Khavar had brought to his
courtroom last week.

"Khavar has been expecting you," the ushdar murmured as he ushered
Abada into the main room of the officer's residence. Abada's footsteps
echoed loudly off the bare wooden floor, and he was startled to see
that the room was completely empty save for a sword rack holding two
sheathed scimitars, and a small table with some papers and a quill. An
open door to his left revealed another room that was just as barren.
The gambling and spendthrift ways of younger cavalry officers was
legendary, and Abada knew several who had been forced to sell
everything they owned after rolling the dice one too many times.
Although Khavar, in his late fifties, looked to be beyond that age of
wild excess, Abada had seen too much in his years as a jurat to rule
out a similar occurrence here.

Khavar stood looking out a window, apparently lost in thought, but
turned as Abada entered.

"Abada al'Jurat, welcome to my home," Khavar said with a smile,
proffering a hand. "I would offer you a seat, but…" He gestured around
the empty room. "I've just been transferred to a small outpost in
Durva Province and I suspect my quarters will be somewhat smaller that
these. So I sold all my furniture. Unfortunate timing…"

Abada smiled politely, although perhaps a bit stiffly, as he shook
Khavar's hand. A posting to Durva Province was considered a slap
across the face and certainly the end of one's military career. A
competent officer like Khavar must have angered someone very powerful
to be punished in such a way.

"It is of no concern, Captain," he replied. "How may I be of
assistance? Your message indicated that it would be better to meet
here rather than my courtroom."

"Indeed, there are actually three pieces of business that I would like
you to witness," Khavar replied. He gestured at the ushdar quietly
standing at the room's entrance. "Eshqi, fetch my pack, if you please."

The ushdar nodded and left the room, reappearing a moment later
carrying a large leather rucksack. Although Eshqi appeared fit and
strong, it was obvious from his straining muscles that the pack was
very heavy. He placed it at Khavar's feet—there was a slight "chink"
as he did so. At Khavar's gesture, Eshqi left the room.

"As I was saying, there are three matters to attend to. The first
concerns my ushdar, Eshqi. I believe you are familiar with his case?

  "Indeed," replied Abada. "Although I was not the Jurat who originally
heard his case—-that would have been Leila al'Jurat—-I inherited
Eshqi's file when Leila retired three years ago. Before his annual
accounting hearing comes up each year, I re-read his file to
reacquaint myself with the details of his case. As I recall, he was a
Kaman officer like yourself—-younger, of course. He borrowed ninety
thousand lances from your father eight years ago for a business
venture which ultimately failed. Since he had used his honour as
collateral and had no other assets, Leila al'Jurat had no choice but
to commit him to your father's household as an ushdar. When your
father died four years ago, you inherited him.  My judgment last week
was that he owes you seventy thousand of the original ninety thousand
lances."

Khavar nodded.  "You are absolutely correct—-that in a nutshell is how
he came to be here. However, let me apprise you of the finer details.
  For that, perhaps Eshqi should be present."

He clapped his hands twice and Eshqi immediately reappeared in the
doorway.

"What is that you wish, Master?" the ushdar asked.

"Just a moment of your time, Eshqi. I was having a conversation with
Abada al'Jurat about how you came to be part of my household."

Eshqi nodded, but Abada could sense a wariness settle around the
ushdar like a cloak. He stood stoically just inside the door, his back
straight, his hands clasped behind him.

"Abada al'Jurat, Eshqi's failed business venture involved an
investment in a caravan of precious but fragile goods from the
Ourmistan. After purchasing the goods, Eshqi then accompanied the
caravan down the Irafa Road through the Bramblewood forest, intending
to travel to the Sheldomar Valley to sell the goods. As I understand
it, he employed six caravan guards—-that should have been enough to
protect him from monsters and bandits. However, as he travelled
through the Bramblewood, he came across another group of travellers
who had been beset by monsters of the forest." Khavar turned to the
silent ushdar.  "Then you and your guards rushed to their aid, did you
not? How many of the other travellers survived?"

"All of them, Master."

"And how many of your party survived?"

Grim lines framed Eshqi's face as he replied, "Just myself and one
guard, Master."

"And what of your unprotected caravan?"

"It was destroyed during the battle, Master."

"And if you had simply avoided the fight, taken your caravan back to
the nearest fort, and left the army to sort out the tragedy, you would
still have your ninety thousand lances—-or more, I suppose, since you
would have made a handsome profit once you reached your destination in
the Sheldomar Valley."

"Yes, master."

"Why didn't you avoid the fight then?"

"Better to be an ushdar without honour than a Citizen without honour,
Master."

Abada gave an inward sigh. Although the law was clear that Eshqi was
responsible for his debts, here was an honourable man who had taken
the hard path when the choice had been presented to him. At his
current rate of repayment for service, Eshqi was committed to at least
another twenty years in Khavar's household.

Khavar gestured to Eshqi, who still stood waiting. "Thank you, Eshqi,
that will be all for now. No wait…" The ushdar paused in the doorway.
"What was the name of the caravan guard who survived that horrendous
fight in the Bramblewood?"

Eshqi hesitated for a moment. "Gobryas."

Khavar snapped his fingers. "Gobryas! Yes, I thought the name was
familiar." He turned to Abada. "I ran into Gobryas just last month. He
now tends bar in a little village beside the Tuflik River. When I told
him that I knew Eshqi, he insisted on buying me a drink and telling me
the story all over again. But there were a couple of differences in
his tale. The way he told it, it was Eshqi's sister, Estella, who had
borrowed money from my father to buy the caravan, not Eshqi, and it
was she who had hired Gobryas and the rest of the caravan guards.
Eshqi was just along for the ride through the Bramblewood as he
returned to his cavalry unit here in Falwur."

Eshqi flushed red and shouted, "That's a lie! I borrowed the money,
not Estella! It was my honour that was lost, not hers!"

Khavar held up his hands to stave off the flow of anger.

"Yes, yes, undoubtedly a misunderstanding on the part of Gobryas,
although it is hard to understand how he came to believe that your
sister had hired him, not you. In fairness, I did re-examine my
father's papers upon my return, and found nothing that would lend
credence to Gobryas's version of events. The only unusual thing was
that according to my father's notes, he met with your sister several
times before the caravan's journey, but only met with you for the
first time after the tragedy. Nevertheless, all his papers indicate
that it was you who borrowed the money, not Estella."

Abada considered what he had heard. If it had been Estella and not
Eshqi that had borrowed the money from Khavar's father, then it was
she and not Eshqi who should have become an ushdar.  If the old
caravan guard's version was true, it was an iron vice of honour that
had trapped Eshqi when his act of saving the travellers in the
Bramblewood had sacrificed his sister's caravan, her personal fortune
and her honour. This was undoubtedly Eshqi's way of repaying his
sister for the consequences of his honourable act in the Bramblewood.

Khavar bent over the rucksack and flipped open the top. Abada
involuntarily caught his breath --the rucksack was filled with
bastions, the valuable but rare platinum coin of Ket.

"How did you come by this fortune, Khavar?" Abada asked cautiously.

Khavar shrugged.

"I don't have many expenses, no family left after my wife died, never
had children, don't have any expensive hobbies. This is my share of a
few profitable border raids, the bulk of my savings from my army
pay—-and what I got for selling all my belongings," he concluded,
waving his hand around the empty room. He easily lifted the heavy
rucksack and proffered it to Abada. "All of that adds up to seventy
thousand lances. Would you like to count it?"

The old jurat bowed.

"Your word as an officer is sufficient, Captain Khavar. I concede that
you hold seventy thousand lances."

Khavar smiled, although his eyes were serious, as he tossed the pack
to Eshqi.

"Eshqi, I give you seventy thousand lances as a gift."

The ushdar staggered  under both the weight of the pack and the shock
of Khavar's statement.

"Wha… Master… I…"

"Seventy thousand lances, Eshqi, to do with as you wish. Spend it,
invest it, give it away, keep it in a sock under your bed—-it is your
choice." Khavar took Abada's elbow and nonchalantly steered the
shocked jurat over to the window. "There are privileges to being
captain, Abada. My quarters overlook the gardens and ornamental pools
of the temple of Geshtai…"

Eshqi's gaze flitted from the heavy pack in his arms to Khavar, now
describing the wonders of Geshtai's gardens to the Jurat. Snapping out
of his state of disbelief, the ushdar gathered himself and walked over
to the window.

"Master," he began.

Khavar turned around, his tone casual.

"Yes, Eshqi?"

"Master," Eshqi replied, his voice becoming firmer. "My debt to you
and your family, as recently accounted by Abada al'Jurat, is seventy
thousand lances. I freely give these seventy thousand lances to you in
order to discharge my debt."

Khavar took the proffered sack and looked into it.

"Why, I do believe there are seventy thousand lances here, Eshqi.
Well, we must seek out a jurat at once and have your act officially
acknowledged." His gaze fell upon Abada. "What luck. There happens to
be a jurat right here." He walked over to Abada. "Abada al'Jurat, you
have witnessed that Eshqi, an ushdar in my service, has totally
discharged his debt to me and my family, using money that was not
borrowed, but that was totally his to give, keep or spend."

Abada, who had been as astounded as Eshqi at Khavar's act, adjusted
his robes and cleared his throat. He turned to Eshqi.

"Eshqi, in front of witnesses, you have discharged your debt to
Captain Khavar and his family."

He leaned  forward and touched the thin iron ring around Eshqi's
throat. "Only honour has held you in servitude. This collar has no
lock, and could have been removed at any time," he intoned.

Eshqi, his heart pounding, recited the ancient words that he never
thought he would never say.

"This collar has been locked with my honour. None may unlock it but me."

Abada bowed.

"You have worn the collar of servitude with honour. Remove it, Eshqi.
I declare that all your debts have been paid, and that you have taken
your place once again as a full Citizen of Ket, with all of its
privileges and responsibilities."

Eshqi slowly reached up and unsnapped the thin band, and just as
slowly removed it. As he gazed at the former mark of dishonour in his
hands, Abada turned to Khavar.

"Once I have returned to my courtroom and signed certain papers, I
will send for the town crier and have him make the announcement in
Thresher Square that Eshqi's honour has been restored."

Khavar coughed a bit self-consciously as he picked up the papers lying
on the small end table.

"Suspecting that they would be needed, I actually took the opportunity
to have the papers drawn up by Faheen the Scribe and brought here," he
said, handing the papers and the quill to the Jurat. Abada frowned at
this breach of protocol, but could not think of a reason why the
papers had to be signed in his courtroom.

As Abada busied himself signing the various declarations and forms,
Eshqi turned to his former master.

"Why now, master… err.. ?" H caught himself. "Why now, Captain?"

"The Ket army suffered mightily during the Battle of the Bramblewood
last fall," Khavar replied. "It left the army severely under strength
for the first time in living memory. Now that Bissel has invaded, the
Beygraf will need the services of every good soldier. You are trained
as a Kaman officer, and you are still young and fit. The Beygraf and
his generals can make good use of such as you, whereas I will have
little use for a manservant in the coming days. The solution seemed
obvious."

Abada interrupted, his work done.

"I will keep these documents for my files, but you may take this
notice" he said, holding out a piece of paper to Abada. "Post it in
Thresher Square and ensure the crier also announces it."

"And," Khavar added, "you should then immediately report to Captain
Seeta. I believe she has a patrol in need of a lieutenant that leaves
Falwur tomorrow morning."

Eshqi, still unbelieving, took the proffered piece of paper from
Abada. Sombrely, he shook hands with Khavar, then straightened his
shoulders, breathing in his freedom.

"Farewell, Khavar. You have been a generous master."

"And you have been an honourable brother to your sister," Khavar
replied. He saluted Eshqi. "For the Glory of Ket and in the service of
the Beygraf."

Eshqi returned the salute, shook hands with Abada, then quickly ran
out the door, clutching the paper that proclaimed his freedom.

(continued...)

In addition to the Ket mods that we have offered for play at Needfest,
there has also been a request to run some VTFs from Year 7 and/or 8.

If you have pretty well finished all the Ket mods from Year 7 & 8, but
still have some VTFs mods to play, drop me a line off-list and we will
put together a table for you.

KET4-04, KET5-02, KET5-03, KET5-04, KET6-03,

Plus copies of any intros, minis, and interactives I can get.  [:)]

Merry Christmas, and thank you.

[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

We have narrowed down the list of mods that people want to play at
Needfest (Sat Dec 27 at Hobby Kingdom in Burlington). If you would
like to play any of the following, players are needed to fill out
these tables, and it will be your last chance to play them officially:

KET7-08 Blot Out the Sun
KET7-09 A Thorny Issue
KET8-01 Visible Means
KET8-02 Crossing the Threshold
KET8-03 Blood of the True
KET8-06 The Empty Throne

There are no registration of slot fees, but pre-registration is
necessary. To pre-register and for more details, go to
http://warhorn.net/needfest2008

Note that the APLs listed by already-registered players are only their
"opening bid". We will try to find an APL that can fit everyone in at
the table, so be prepared to be flexible in that regard.

Alan Brown
  Needfest 2008

Needfest, in the calendar of the Flanaess, is the final week of the
year. For the past two years, in the calendar of the mundane world, it
has also been the opportunity to play the LG mods that you need before
they are removed from play.

We are again offering you that opportunity at one final Living
Greyhawk game day on Saturday, December 27.

Needfest 2008, at The Hobby Kingdom in Burlington (Ontario), will
offer three slots of crunchy Ket goodness from Year 7 & 8 so you can
check off those last few Ket mods you haven't played yet.

From Year 7, there was the 4-part Seeking Balance series, as well as
the final adventure from Jason O'Gorman's "Good versus Evil" trilogy,
the conclusion of Andrew Jaremkow's Cthulu-esque trilogy, and several
adventures from Vizier Stephen "All Evil, All the Time" Baker.

In Year 8, there was the three-part "Beygraf in Molvar" series for PCs
supporting Nadaid in his exile, the three-part "Road to Righteousness"
series for those who supported the other side, and the final
concluding adventure "The Empty Throne" that brings the two series, as
well as the Ket storyline, to a close.

As with past Needfests, the programming of the three slots will be
totally up to you--we are providing three tables in each slot, so the
first three adventures to attract a full table in each slot will be
the ones that are run. (If one adventure gains enough players on its
waitlist for 2 or even 3 tables before other adventures reach viable
status, then that one adventure will run at 2 or 3 tables.)

Free registration is via Warhorn.net
(http://www.warhorn.net/needfest2008), and there are no slot fees.
Directions to The Hobby Kingdom and more information about Needfest
are found on Warhorn.

Your judges will be Alan Brown & Penn Davies (former Ket Triad
members) and Heather Davies (spouse of former Ket Triad member, and
real power behind the Ketite throne).

If you have any questions about Needfest, please contact me off-list.

On Mon Nov 24, we were planning to play "A Thorny Issue". Our plans
have now changed.

We are now planning to play KETIA8-02 Time for Action.

Blurbage:
Time for Action
by Alan Brown, Penn Davies & Stephen Baker

Two months ago, the rebel Bisselite general Valiscerat, the
self-styled "King of Ket", watched half his army march home to Bissel.
After a discussion in Buttercup Widebottom's Feasthall about how to
exploit this opportunity, a council of adventurers has recommended
immediate military action. Nadaid has agreed—the time for talk has
passed. The time for action is here.

We have room for 2 players, the table will be APL 4, and the location
is in Toronto. If you are interested, contact me off-list.

Alan Brown
guinness323 <AT> yahoo.com

Unfortuately, A Thorny Issue and Crossing the Threshold are the only
two Ket mods I've played. :(  I could play any other Year 7 or 8 Ket
or VTF mod.

Sorry to throw a wrinkle into the works!

Rob.

I am going to be running KET7-09 A Thorny Issue in Toronto on Monday
Nov 24. If you are interested in playing, please email me offline with
details of what APLs you can play.

Alan Brown
guinness323 <AT> yahoo.com

KET7-09 A Thorny Issue
by Penn Davies, Chris Wachal & Alan Brown with special thanks to
Sandra Sine
Mullahs of the True Faith have taken the Ket army on a holy quest to
invade Ekbir. With no army protecting Ket, Bissel has invaded, taking
Lopolla by storm. Ketites remaining in the country are divided and
leaderless. Can Ket be saved? Will anyone try? Or is there no place
left for those more loyal to Ket than to the True Faith? An adventure
for levels 1-15 (APL 2-12). Part 1 of the Beygraf in Molvar series.
Any PCs may play this adventure, even if they have previously worked
for the quest for the Cup & Talisman. However, PCs who have declared
for the Beygraf and/or have not played any of the adventures in the
Road to Righteousness series may be rewarded for their loyalty. This
adventure may be unsuitable for characters from Bissel. Players should
be aware that due to advances in the regional storyline, playing Ket
adventures published prior to November 2007 after they have played
this one will result in regional storyline discontinuity.

Anyone interested in gaming with Rob and Lisa on Mon Nov 24 in Toronto
contact me off-list and we will see if there's enough interest and
what mod to play. (Rob & Lisa, also include yourself in emailing me,
thanks.)

Hi Alan,

I am going to be in Toronto on the evening of Monday the 24th, and
would love to get in a Ket mod. Are you free, and is there any
appetitie out there for a weeknight game?

Absalom, the ruby ring is now lost in the Drownyard, all that remains
of Tri-Towers after it was destroyed a decade ago in the great quake.
The Pathfinders must risk the strange black ichors and salty brine to
find their prize—will they risk their very souls as well? This

Celebrate Halloween with the Colonial horror of WITCH HUNTER: DARK
PROVIDENCE:

Paige Leitman: A plague of madness is spreading through the streets
of New Amsterdam. The Witch Hunters arrive to learn that they are
expected, and must find a way to stop the insanity before it consumes
the entire town.
– Dark Providence 1-14 - Graven Images, by Laura Bush and Wayne S.
Melnick, Esq.:
In the fall of 1689, your sleep is providing no rest and once again
your dreams are fitful. Why does a woman with a crushed skull reach
out to you, and why does she remind you of somewhere you have been
before?
– Dark Providence 1-15 - Fair Trade, by Chris Russell: San Agustín, a
coastal town in the middle of pirate waters, has gone unscathed for
years. It was the target of a massive pirate attack 20 years ago, but
has been untouched since then, and has become the center of pirate-
hunting for the Spanish in the New World. It is up to the Witch
Hunters to write the next chapter in the history of this bustling
port.
– Dark Providence 1-16 - Boarding Party, by Alex Suarez, Brett Lucey,
and Joe Streeky: Portuguese merchant ships are disappearing. England
has sent word to the Lieutenant Governor of Jamaica that he needs to
put a stop to the pirates targeting the Portuguese or a Man-o-war
will be on his door step within a month. This has lead Henry Morgan
to wonder where those that helped him in the spring are today. The
Invisible World has heard his plea. A group of Witch Hunters has been
brought to the island of Jamaica this December of 1689.

Happy Gaming,

FRAG


[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

I am happy to invite you to Neoncon 2008; Las Vegas' biggest and best gaming
convention. Across the board, Neoncon 2007 attendees had good things to say;
some said it was the best gaming event they had ever attended.  We  were truly
humbled by the overwhelmingly positive response. Neoncon 2008 aims to be bigger
and better; but not so much so that we lose our touch and our audience.

While Circus Circus served us well last year, that choice of venue was our
biggest complaint. Overall, folks thought the hotel did not provide much value
for their dollar. So, this year we are happy to partner with Palace Station
Hotel and Casino. With rooms ranging from $49-$135/night, our rates provide the
best overall value I've ever seen at a gaming convention. Also, we had the rates
extended around Neoncon, so you can stay a few days before or after and do the
"what happens in Vegas" thing!  Follow the link below to check out our
rooms/rates and get the discounted booking code.

LINK: http://www.neoncon.com/pages/hotel

This year, we expand to four days. Our new schedule allows us to add more games
and special events. Though we are adding new events all of the time, I can
confirm the following so far:

* D&D Dungeon Delve - The Royal Gambit
* Living Greyhawk Pale/Nyrond Bordercon
* Living Forgotten Realms
* Pathfinder Society
* Greyhawk Reborn
* Serial Pulp Adventures
* Living Arcanis
* Warhammer 40K - Rogue Trader Tournament
* Warhammer 40K - Apocalypse Event
* D&D Miniatures - Las Vegas Open
* D&D Miniatures - Dungeon Run
* Star Fleet Battles - Rated Ace Captain's Tournament
* Star Fleet Battles - Open Patrol Tournament
* Star Fleet Battles - The Omega Sector
* Federation Commander
* Vampire Camirlla LARP (An Overcap XP Event)
* Mage LARP
* Changeling LARP

The D&D Dungeon Delve (The Royal Gambit) is a Neoncon exclusive.  This event ran
at DDXP, Origins, Gencon and PAX. Now, Neoncon is your last chance to play the
Delve again in 2008.  Jump into D&D 4th Edition and get as far you can in 30
minutes. Along the way, earn special rewards including mini repaints and
exclusive RPGA reward cards which can be used to enhance your Living Forgotten
Realms characters.  In addition to special events for Living Greyhawk
(Pale/Nyrond Bordercon), Star Fleet Battles (Rated Ace Tourney), Vampire
(Overcap XP Camarilla Event) and D&D Miniatures (Vegas Open), we are working on
a few more surprises that we will announce as soon as things are finalized.

LINK: http://www.neoncon.com/pages/schedule
LINK: http://www.neoncon.com/pages/games

Convention registration is open. This year, we have added single-day badges, so
if you can only make one or two days, you do not have to pay full price. Still,
the 4 Day Badge offers the best overall value for your dollar. Right now, we are
offering special early bird pricing. Early bird pricing and ends on September
19th at Midnight and is limited to 200 one day badges ($25)  and  50  four  day 
badges  ($45).  At around $10/day for a jam-packed schedule, that is one smoking
deal!  Prices only go up from there, so do yourself a favor and register now
using the link below.

LINK: http://www.neoncon.com/collections/badges

Warhorn is now open for RPG slot registration! The complete Living Greyhawk and
Living Forgotten Realms schedules are now up (link below). You may sign-up on
Warhorn to see the complete schedule and will be cleared to sign up for
individual games once you've purchased your badge.

LINK: http://www.warhorn.net/Neoncon2008

In closing, I would be remiss if we neglected to thank all the volunteers who
donate their time and effort on behalf of Neoncon; now and in the past. You know
who you are. Those who spent hours play testing games, reviewing stat blocks,
making phone calls, stuffing bags, running games, manning desks, entering data,
traveling cross country, sacrificing hotel room and air fare, driving hours on
end, and doing a ton of other self-sacrificing stuff, we thank you!

I look forward to spending my Halloween with everyone, playing games, making
friends and, of course, defeating evil!

See you October 30th!

That's because these adventures aren't available for play any more, they
expired at the end of last year. Thus, you can't order them from the RPGA.
As the author of one of the requested mods, I can say that distributing
modules outside of the approved framework, that is without my permission and
WotC's permission, isn't something I'd like to see.
In order for retired modules to be redistributable, you have to have the
permission of the original author, and everything that's Greyhawk specific
or not in the SRD (for setting and rules, respectively) has to be stripped
out. I'm not interested in doing that work.

If you order modules through the RPGA (through their standard sanctioning
system), you'll get everything you need.
