Sydell

Hey all, I'm running a game on ConstantCon. This is the page for the LotFP rule version.

My blog is http://rpgrantsandraves.blogspot.com/

The game is to be run at 2 p.m. PST/ 11 p.m. in France starting the 24th of Jan and every week after.

The system is LotFP (which can be found on his website here.)

Going to be using Google Plus: you can find me at dragolite 1 at gmail dot com or Googgle Plus under the name Lon Varnadore (my avatar is my girlfriend and myself with sunglasses looking into the camera.)

players: 4-6 1st lvl. characters only please. FLAILSNAIL welcome.

This is a campaign that will be ongoing, I am looking for a group of players that will be able to get on week after week. I do not mind changing the time to every other week if necessary.

Sydell is a place of dangers and wonders. A land where most gods have passed on, and only a few grant power to their faithful. Where the riches are all around, if you know where to look. Where spell and sword might be enough to protect you.

This is a campaign that will be one of a number of plot lines. Choose your path. The only thing you know is that you have taken a caravan to a town called Mytheran. Here, you can get a job working for the Church of Theran, the Church of Sylenia or find some work in the local tavern of the Broken Spoke or the Three Coins Inn.

I'm not one for rules lawyers. THERE IS NO RAILROAD. If your party wants to go off an do something else, don't worry there is something else to do. But, be wary of leaving things half finished. Also, new to this online GMing thing, just a warning.

Griffin Mountain Part 3

Barry says:

Join our intrepid heroes for the third instalment of Griffin Mountain. See the sights of the bustling metropolis of Trilus (remarkably free of pig shit!), seek the mysterious Red Haired Man (or not), run away from things with big teeth, gibber in terror at the moon and seek the Wisdom of the Ancestors.

Saturday 3rd December 17.00GMT (9.00PST, 12.00EST)

Knowledge of Glorantha not strictly necessary, but would help.

Rules: A somewhat tweaked version of RQ2, contact me and I'll send you the details.

GM: Barry Blatt (who looks remarkably like The Mekon, arch-nemesis of Dan Dare if you need to add me on G+)

Bone Hill, AD&D style

Shawn says:
I have an opening in my regular Tu at 5pm CDT/10pm GMT AD&D game.  This game has been running since the first week of Contsantcon, and we are nearing the end of The Secret of Bone Hill.  Following Bone Hill, the group will be making a foray into Castle Amber.  If you are interested, please email me at my gee mail handle, arcadayn44.  You will need a 3^rd level FLAILSNAILS/AD&D PC.

Calendar Updated

There's now a new calendar, which will hopefully stay up to date.

The Deals Men Make

Info: Hello Constantcon land, I am late to this party but eager to be a part of it. My name is Alex Williamson. I am looking to run a playtest of a Dark Conspiracy modern/horror/occult game on December 3rd 2011,  4pm Eastern time, 1pm Pacific Time, 9pm London Time.

Game / Characters: Dark Conspiracy is a GDW game set in a near-future dystopia rife with urban conspiracy and occult horror. This game will be a playtest of a module I am going to submit to Protodimension magazine, which is an ezine for Dark Conspiracy, CoC and other like minded games. Pre-generated characters will be available or if you'd like to get together earlier I can help with the creation of a character you'd be interested in playing. This adventure will consist of players uncovering a plot surrounding the high frequency of apparent kidnappings and outrash of violence in a small suburb of near-future New Orleans. 

Contact: On google+ my name is Alex Williamson and my email is alex@anareta.com. My google+ profile pic is me (male) with a pair of blocky headphones on. Thanks for taking the time to check it out!

Nightwick Abbey Comes to ConstantCon

This is Evan of In Places Deep, and I will be running a Labyrinth Lord game from 7:00PM EST on the the Saturday, October 29th 2011.  Characters should be levels 1-3.  This will be a FLAILSNAILS game, but characters from other game systems should follow the conversion guidelines found here.  Nightwick Abbey is the demon-haunted megadungeon that lies in the brooding forests of the Dark Country.  PCs will have just arrived at the neighboring village via caravans from the far flung corners of the World.  Most of the action will take place on the first level of the dungeon.  On G+ my name is Evan Elkins, and in my profile picture I'm about to slug Nicholas Cage.  You can email me at evanDOTvanDOTelkinsATgmailDOTcom.

Barry would like to remind you of his Stormbringer game.

A one-off adventure only, soon to be appearing in print in Fight On!. (If it comes out in the next week DON'T READ IT.) Rules: Stormbringer 1st Edition, beginning characters.

No more than four (4) 1st Level PCs are sought for the mission. Roll a new 1st Level PC -- see http://carterscartopia.blogspot.com/2011/09/tales-from-hotel-kaladarian.html for PC options and houserules.  Or, consult the FLAILSNAILS Conventions for PC conversion guidelines.

Hellenistic Frankenquest

Jeremy Duncan over at Dandy in the Underworld is planning what he describes as a Hellenistic Franquest--some sort of crazy mashup of Runequest, Stormbringer, Elric!, Call of Cthulhu, along with odds and ends from Pendragon and WFRP. It will be a location based game, like Jeff Rient's Caves of Myrddin game. Jeremy is planning on setting it a generation after the death of Alexander the Great, but with more of a swords and sorcery vibe than a straight historical approach.

Stormbringer: The Tale of an Egg

Time: Saturday 15th October 21.00 BST (20.00 GMT, 15.00 EST, 14.00 CST etc)

Hagar the Skeletal, the Beggar-Mage, wants the shell from the egg of a Dragon Turtle and is willing to pay any number of reckless, foolhardy and downright crazy adventurers to fetch it for him from the desolate, barbaric and chaos-tainted land of Yu. A one-off adventure only, soon to be appearing in print in Fight On!. (If it comes out in the next week DON'T READ IT.)

Rules: Stormbringer 1st Edition, beginning characters. Pre-gen characters available, but if you want to dice up your own, let me know by e-mail and send me a copy.

Caves of Myrddin

Check out Jeff Rient's Caves of Myrddin ConstantCon game. It's a weekly game using B/X D&D, with a rotating cast of players selected by the dice gods. Set in fantasy England during the Anarchy, the game has so far focused on the exploration of the watery caves beneath the ruins of a castle.

Tekumel

Peter Robbins is shutting down his G+ Tekumel blog, but don't miss out on one of his other blogs, Skein of Destiny. Looks useful for Tekumel fans.

Obliettes & Otyughs

Back in August, Ben over at Obliettes & Otyughs was putting together a 7th edition Gamma World ConstantCon game.

Hill Cantons

ckutalik over the Hill Cantons blog is working on putting together a monthly google+ game. It looks like it will be set up to accommodate various levels of player commitment, and will be using a variety of systems for different groups of players. Check it out.

Zzarchov's Neoclassical Geek Revival

Zzarchov, over at the blog Unofficial Games, runs a weekly ConstantCon game (Mondays at 6pm Eastern, Midnight Berlin Time) of Neoclassical Geek Revival. Check out his rule set, Neoclassical Geek Revival. Available in shiny hardcover.

Announcements are usually kept up to date on his blog.

Legacy of the Bieth

Allandaros over at Legacy of the Bieth is offering ConstantCon gaming, with some mutated version of OSRIC and Lamentations of the Flame Princess. I think he's honoring FLAILSNAILS Conventions. Check it out. 

Tales from the Hotel Kaladarian

Head on over to The Lands of Ara, where Carter Soles is plotting and scheming for a new online-only ConstanCon Lands of Ara campaign called, "Tales from the Hotel Kaladarian." He's hoping to get the game rolling this October, using the Swords and Wizardy White Box rules. Some house rules and guidelines are already up over there. Oh, and he's abiding by the FLAILSNAILS Conventions.

Crucible of the Gods

G+ profile: https://plus.google.com/117576739522948548414 // Brian Ballsun-Santon

Crucible of the Gods, a fourthcore adventure for 4-6 players, lasting 3 hours or until party death.

Do you miss the Tomb of Horrors? Do you miss the tension of knowing that there are things that are perfectly willing to kill you with a roll? Do you miss mutherin great battles that require wits to solve? Have all that and more in this fourthcore adventure that is practically guaranteed to kill your set of first level characters. First level characters provided, but I am happy to work with you in creating your own character for this almost impossible adventure. Only the bravest souls need apply.

Fourthcore is a philosophy of gaming applied to the D&D 4e system: the philosophy is fundamentally gamist, preferring to establish drama and tension through the difficulties and challenges presented to the players rather than grand plot or overarching story. It rewards thoughtful gemers who are willing to use their own critical thinking and mental models of the world in place of the blind luck of perception checks (though, to be fair, perception DCs are offered for those who are terminally unwilling to engage in the visualization.)

Offered at Friday October 7 Noon GMT-10 (hawaii) // 6 PM Eastern // 10 AM Saturday Sydney Time. If you have a group of 4 players who wants to schedule another time, let me know.
