University of California - Los Angeles Campus Internal Memo

 To: All Students, Parapsychology Department, UCLA

From: Professor Cameron Winters, Parapsychology Department, UCLA.

 Subject: Field Trip

 All students intending to attend the field trip are to be at the loading bay in building C by 7:15 on Thursday morning so we can leave on time.

The field trip is optional, but will be worth extra marks for those who do it. We are intending to make a number of stops along the way, mostly at night, so you will probably want to bring pillows and blankets if you intend to sleep on the bus.

 See you there.

 A one-session freeform for 12 to 24 students and ghosts.

Warning: This game deals heavily with the concept of death, and as such
may not be suitable for all players.

Costuming is appropriate for some characters. For more information, and
for character booking, please contact Aj.

 For more information contact Aj on 0419 253 474 or aj.jones@hitpoint.com.au.

Day 3 at the base of Mount Caradhras...

"I'm bored.".

"Well, go to sleep then."

"I tried, but theres a root poking me no matter how I lay."

"I'll poke you, you mangy hobbit," someone mumbled.

"Did you just say something?"

"I said we could teach poker to the hobbits."

"That's not a bad idea actually, we did make camp a bit early today.

Who's interested?"

"I am."

"Sounds like a plan."

"I'll be in that."

"Ok, I assume you've played cards before? Good, well what you do is..."

A Freeform for eight of the nine members of the Fellowship of the Rings with some time to kill.

Rome, 287

I hurried after my master - it does not do for a doctor to be tardy in response to a rich man's summons, he may arrive to find both patient and patron bled dry by his speedy competitors. We arrived at the gates of a great house, and as we did not hear any sign of boisterous medical disagreement from within, we took a moment to catch our breath.

My master, now his usual composed and dignified self, knocked at the gate, and we were led into the sick room. A girl lay on the bed, white as chalk, and perhaps fortunately unconscious. Even an apprentice such as myself could easily see why the household had sent for Orestes of Alexandria and no other!

That which was lost at the bottom of the sea has seen the light of day.

That which was thought dead and buried shall return to right old wrongs.

The hunter will be hunted and source of mystery explained.

True love shall be put to the test and faith will guide the willing.

This is the 3rd game in the Series that started with The Unicorn's Lance. There is a bit of history for some of the characters.

People can book characters.

Costumes Please.

"I'm sorry, but there just isn't any other way to tell you.

The Shadows have returned.

Charlotte Bradbury, Sally Carter, Bradley Bennett and his poor dead brother Michael – these four innocents have felt their wrath.

Remember the pact we made fifteen years ago, after winning the battle against the Darkness?

Never would another child suffer as we sufferer the hellish attacks of the monsters of the Closetland, as long as we were alive to stop them.

If we are to keep our promise and defeat them again, we must return together to the world of Childhood Terror."

A Horror freeform, based in the "Little Fears" universe.

As the glorious sun shines on the peaceful  realm of Earthstone, darkness falls upon a distant realm of Evil.

Within this darkness, the hellish Warpspawn and their slaves, the hideous hordes of Garnresh,  stir restlessly plotting and scheming future triumphs for their kind.

 What chaos shall transpire?

 While this freeform uses the continuing story line of the other Earthstone games, knowledge of these games is irrelevant.

The King of Amber is dying...

Unfortunately, Amber has no laws to govern the right of succession, so all of Oberon's children are gathered today to determine an heir.

In a family like this, having all of these relatives under one roof is probably a bad thing!

"No Heir for the Throne of Amber" involves politics, Machiavellian scheming, lies, murder, bribery, alliances and betrayals.

Costumes for the event are recommended, but not essential. Those choosing to wear costumes should contact AJ for advice.

Knowledge of Roger Zelazny's books is not required, but very much recommended to give you a feel for the game.

Previously run at Brisbane Maelstrom 1999, and Conquest 2000 and is being rerun by request.

1st August, 1920

The egg was, my dear, not an egg at all, but a construction of pearls and brilliant enamel. It glittered so prettily in the sunlight, and when opened played a song of shining silver. You will think me strange, but I must tell you  I really imagined I could smell frost and pine while it played - the scent of Christmas in an Easter egg! But then others reacted oddly to this beautiful toy too, and I cannot imagine how your old friend came to possess it. So much trouble occurred over so small an object!

This game is a sequel to The Angel of Babylon, which was run at Arcarnacon 2003, however the stories are independent, and it is not at all  necessary to have played the previous game to play this one.

Dur to family problems, the writers of Shifting Sands have been forced to withdraw their game.

Stargate:SG1 GRUNTS World Of Opportunity

Organised by Tarquin Murnane And Those Not Moving Fast Enough When I Get The Stun Gun

Hammond walked into the dialing room and looked toward the shimmering Stargate. He had had many meetings with many aliens while in charge of Stargate Command, this one would be a strange one, even by the usual standards.The General could understand the need for the meeting, he just wished for once one of these things could be held at someone else’s place, why always here? What the hell was an Orc anyway? During what seemed a normal mission SG:1 found a thriving world dominated by many subspecies of humans, massive animal life, and large hulking combat trained marines...they call them selves Orc Marines. Their planet has something amazing, dozens of Stargates, interdimentional active Stargates, at once. A massive resource, one that has become known to the Azguard, the Tokra and the Gauold (O’Neill was...upset about that). A meeting was decided by a majority (O’Neill: SAY WHAT?!?) vote to have a meeting (O’Neill was...upset about that too) about what to do about this amazing discovery. Stargate Command is about to have guests...a lot of them.
