Rat Pack (GM: Toby Pilling)

A Grey Seer takes an interest when a top secret Clan Moulder research facility in the Vaults is captured by Goblinoids. That the place was run by a renegade Clan Skyre Warlock Engineer makes the situation all the more complex.

During the Incursion of Chaos a major contribution to the defence of the Dwarfholds of the World's Edge Mountains was made by the hero Vondrik and his magnificent Dwarfs in their flying machines. In the times since then, the enthusiasm for flight and the building of machines seems to have declined with the fortunes of the dwarfs.

But now a new enemy has come to the mountains. A bunch of fearless potential aviators must re enter Vondrik's lost hold and attempt to retrieve his contraptions in order to put down the new threat.

Well, it's a job, ain't it?

Kult [top]
Sunday AM (1 Game): 
UPDATE - 5 Places available:

Jamie’s dead. That really sucks (GM Lee)
5-6 players
The game is set in modern day West London.

It’s always the good ones who go first. I mean you didn’t really keep massively in touch with your old foster family - Christmas cards, Mothers’ Day stuff for Phyliss, Googling Jacqui now her modelling career seems to be taking off, but Jamie was a great guy. Funny, generous, great with the girls, fantastic footballer, never any attitude toward you and the other fostered guys like Jacqui had sometimes. You can’t not go to his funeral now you’ve been invited.

Anyway the food will be great, Phyliss will have been in the kitchen for days, just like old times growing up. Almost makes sitting through a Pentecostal service worth it.

So you’re going, and no doubt the other guys are too, not that you really keep in touch with them either. You’ve got the tickets, you’ll make nice, you'll be respectful and then you’ll come home and try a bit harder to stay in touch. And who knows? Jacqui may have thawed a little. Not that you’d take advantage of her brother being dead to make a move. That would be wrong.

Our heroes return to the foster home where they were raised for the funeral of their foster brother. There will be weeping and wailing and great Caribbean food. Then they’ll go back home and carry on with their lives.

Honest...

UPDATE 4 Places available:
NOTE – This adventure was run at Conception 2009
Working for the Special Operations Executive, you are resisting the hellish Nazi menace using any means necessary. Those you work with, those you trust, all know that the ultimate price is worth paying if it stems the rising Nazi tide engulfing Europe. You will use whatever you have to, whoever you have to, go to any lengths: this is a war you simply can not afford to lose. Nothing is off limits, including the supernatural. You are developing a weapon that will devastate the Nazi horde. There is little time to ponder the deeper moral issues of the ultimate cost in using it.

1941 Cthulhu scenario, 4 - 6 Investigators required: pre-gen characters supplied.
(All levels of Cthulhu experience welcome, including none!)

PLEASE NOTE: This game is for Mature minded gamers only.

Zeppelins over Cairo (GM John) [top]
UPDATE 4 Places available:
Egypt 1936 - a lone survivor of the Harrington-Falken international archaeological expedition staggers out of the desert, telling a tale of treachery, madness and murder. As the unconscious American lies in his sick-bed, international tensions rise, with each country blaming the other for the disappearance of their 'best and brightest'. Angry telegrams fly between London and Paris, the Italian fleet sorties, steaming at full speed for Alexandria, and Zeppelins are dispatched from their base at Wilhelmshaven. The players are cast into this diplomatic maelstrom, on a mission of mercy. Can they discover the fate of Penny Harrington? Will they fall prey to the secret that tore apart the previous expedition?

What really lies under the desert sands? Is it worth killing for? Or dying for ...?

PLEASE NOTE: This game is for Mature minded gamers only.

Saturday PM (2 Games): 
The Proposition (GM Max) [top]
UPDATE 5 Places available:
NOTE – This adventure was run at Conception 2009
Sometimes you don’t have a choice. Sometimes you just have to do what you have to do: it’s not about who’s right, it’s not about what’s right, it’s just about what you have to do. Salvaging some sense of order for your life is all you can think about right now. Those you love are counting on you. This may be the strangest bunch of people you’ve ever got together with, but you’re all in this together, and that makes you powerful allies. You may not have a choice in what you are about to do, but you will be one of the few that determines how it all ends.

The Ghosts of Albuera (GM John)
6 Places available
Spain 1811. The war in Spain hangs in the balance, with the fighting swinging first one way and then the next. After a bloodily inconclusive battle at Albuera, the British army is besieging the fortress of Badajoz. Taken from their back-breaking work digging trenches in the fierce Summer sun, the survivors of the 2nd battalion, 57th Regiment of Foot are sent on a vital rescue mission. The son of Lord Cranmore was lost at Albuera and was feared dead, but Spanish guerrillas claim to have seen a British gentleman answering his description riding through the battlefield at night. Apparently lost, he vanishes into the night when approached.

The PCs must return to the battle site and find this elusive soldier, and return him to his father.

Dragonmouth [top]
Saturday PM (4 Games):
UPDATE 11 Places available:
NOTE – ALL Dragonmouth games are to be BOOKED through Phil

A city standing alone in a world at war. A city of adventure, excitement, intrigue and danger... Distraught at the loss of his father, frustrated by the never ending battles, sickened at sending more troops to their deaths, one lord has decided to return home and tend to his people. To some it's a cause for celebration, to some a relief, to others an insult. All that is certain is that now is the time for heroes as the city of Dragonmouth enters a new era.

Set in the world of Dargon, Dragonmouth is a UK living campaign based on the Iron Heroes game rules. Every year players from all parts of the country take part in a collaborative plotline, holding malign evil at bay, battling dragons, destroying ravaging hordes and other aspects of a fantasy setting.

Iron Heroes is a variant system based on the OGL rules. Focusing on action and adventure, a character's talents and abilities determine their capabilities rather than their equipment. Magic in the world is a dangerous force and not trusted by many.

Welcome traveller to the city of Dragonmouth...

Please note that the scenario will be unique and not yet released, more information will be available closer to ShadowCon.

Living Forgotten Realms (or LFR for short) is a new regionalized RPGA Living campaign, and the first to utilize the new 4th Edition Dungeons & Dragons rules. Players create characters and assign them to a specific region. Characters can be played in any LFR adventure that supports their levels of play, anywhere. All non-special LFR adventures will be available for play no matter where you live in the world. As your character plays adventures, it earns experience points, gold, and magic items which stay with you from game to game. You can only play each adventure once, but with dozens of adventures available each year, there will be plenty of play opportunities.

Please note it is not known at present what scenarios will be available, more information will be available closer to ShadowCon.

Take to the skies as one of the legendary knights of the air. Fly your fragile biplane over the trenches of the Western Front, engage the enemy in a test of nerve and skill and, for the fortunate few, celebrate victory.

Wings of War is a simple game for 2 or more players. The rules can be learned in minutes, so before you know it you will be thrust into a whirling dogfight where only the skilful and lucky will survive.

Throughout ShadowCon we will be running a variety of Wings of Wars scenarios.

Points can be accumulated for kills, surviving, good one-liners, costumes and really anything that adds to the fun. At the end of the weekend the overall Ace of Aces will be announced.

• Dog Fighting over the Western Front:
  Players can join in at any time throughout the game as replacements are rushed to the front to fill the gaps left by those who have fallen. Likewise pilots may retreat back to the hanger for well earned rest and recuperation, only to rejoin the fray later.
• Catch the Pigeon: 
  The messenger pigeon carries vital information to further the ends of the war. Both sides want that information, but only one is going to end the day with the prize. Take to the skies in your 'dastardly' flying machines in a test of skill, courage and no small amount of luck.

* Max. of 10 players at any one go. As soon as someone dies anyone on the waiting list will join in.
