Games I'll Be Running at CanGames, 2019, Updated
For those who are interested, I've added a couple of other games that I'll be running at this year's CanGames, to be held May 17th - 19th at the Rideau Curling Club here in Ottawa. (The schedule is actually posted on the website itself, as they're not using Sched again for whatever reasons.) Registration is already open, of ccourse.
Here's the updated schedule of games that I'll be running at the convention. Note that I've added a couple of games to the schedule, bringing my number of game sessions to four (4). Since CanGames is using a piece of software that limits the blurb to thirty (30) words, I've included here the full blurb about each scenario. :)
*****
Blue Planet: Trouble in Paradise
Game: Blue Planet: Recontact (forthcoming v3) RPG
Time: Friday, 7:00 pm - 11:00 pm
Number of Players: 5
Description: After 20 years the award-winning Blue Planet RPG is finally getting an all-new, 3rd Edition. Sign up to be one of the first to journey back to the acclaimed setting - the colonial water world of Poseidon. Take the all new, evolved Synergy system for a test-”dive,” and learn what two decades of real-world technological development, game design evolution and busy imaginations have done to make this great, hard sci-fi game even better.
Scenario:
The heist was supposed to end with you on a white sandy beach in New Jamaica, with a big damn drink in one hand and a distinct lack of cares in the other. So how the hell did you end up hiding out in this backwater hole, clutching a big damn gun and a bloody data spike instead? Poor. Life. Choices.
The Talara Gambit
Game: John Carter of Mars RPG
Time: Saturday, 2:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Number of Players: 5
Description: When your characters are approached by a Martian ruler to investigate the kidnapping of his favourite Princess, nothing is as it appears to be. Can you track down the Princess and set things to rights? Or will all-out war be the result of your failure? John Carter of Mars is the sword & planet science fantasy rpg set on Barsoom from Modiphius Entertainment that uses similar 2d20 game mechanics as found in Star Trek Adventures and the Conan RPG. Rules will be taught.
The Assassin Within
Game: Capharnaüm - The Tales of the Dragon-Marked RPG
Time: Saturday, 7:00 pm - 11:00 pm
Number of Players: 5
Description: While visiting a former teacher and mentor in Jergath the Great, the Dragon-Marked must save the scholar and his family from an attempt at revenge! But who is the assassin?
The Tears of Ampharool
Game: Capharnaüm - The Tales of the Dragon-Marked RPG
Time: Sunday, 2:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Number of Players: 5
Description: While travelling through the Desert of Fire, your caravan is surrounded by a great sandstorm and attacked by mysterious, perhaps ghostly assailants... After the storm, the characters see a fabulous palace above the sands, and the promise of adventure. And that's just the beginning!

(Note that the Sunday afternoon Capharnaum game is not yet on the schedule. Hopefully it will be soon.) For those interested in playing in any of these games, there are five (5) player spots open for each of the four games. So if you're interested in playing in one of the games I'm running at CanGames 2019 this year, please sign up early for the games, as slots may not be available at the convention itself.
Hope to see folks at the convention! :)
