Death at the Edge of the Earth * Call of Cthulhu
B-RPG-4 * $ 2
Game Master: Aaron Cordes * 5 Players * Mature18

Players take on the role of a party of lost Antarctic explorers, essentially an alternate-history version of the doomed Terra Nova expedition of Robert Scott. Starving and freezing, they have no choice but to march onwards through a bleak and empty waste. But there are worse horrors than death awaiting them at the end of the Earth. For though they may be a thousand miles from the nearest living humans, our party may soon find that does not mean they are alone...

Pre-generated characters will be provided, including stats, portraits, and brief biographies. To represent the internal dynamic of the group, each character is assigned a secret set of personal goals for their last days, which they may suffer SAN loss for ignoring. Some may be selfless, others less so, and one may not be who he claims. And even before they begin to encounter the un-natural, under the circumstances, none start off in a state that could be called completely sane. Beginners encouraged.

Early morning in Manhattan. Three cops and two detectives are given a routine assignment--searchÊfor clues in the case of a missing rich man. Sounds simple, but there are complications.

Worse yet, his home was destroyed the evening before, and one of the investigating detectives murdered.

Still, it's a bright, sunny day, and all these officers have been assigned to do is poke around in a small private park for clues to the owner's disappearance. Their superiors don't even expect them to find anything. it's just a case of the higher-ups playing "cover your ass." Really ... what could possibly go wrong?

Roadside Attraction * Call of Cthulhu
E-RPG-2 * $ 2
Game Master: John Whitehead * 8 Players * Teen14

Before the highway system, it seemed every stretch of road in America had a souvenir stand, wax museum, or pocket-sized amusement park. Most of these 'tourist traps' died out when the interstate past them by. But some still linger on, in a sort of half-life, taking what ever customers they can get. Any way they can.

Tonight, a disparate group of travelers have the bad luck to be stuck in one such place. But, among these, there are some better prepared than others for what lies in store at this Roadside Attraction.

This is a Call of Cthulhu/Blood Brothers style game. Beginners encouraged.

Rise of The Walking Dead: Into The Fire * All Flesh Must Be Eaten
E-RPG-5 * $ 2
Game Master: Chris Brown * 6 Players * Teen14

The quiet rural community of Argos in upstate New York, noteworthy for just about nothing except for the nearby system of natural caves that extend miles into the ground. Thirty years ago, the government decided these caves were the perfect place to store containers of spent uranium and other nuclear waste. They bought the land, buried tons of radioactive sludge deep in the cave system and, once they thought it full, sealed the whole thing off. They didn't plan on the containers leaking and getting into the local soil and water table. And no one could have imagined the effect this radiation would have on the local population, particularly the dead population. And now with reports from the town Sheriff of gangs attacking the town and a call to Albany for help, missing State Troopers sent in to investigate and never returning, and all communication with the town lost, will a military task force being sent in to investigate fare any better? Beginners encouraged.
