Game Descriptions
Strange Aeons LARP
The mortal coil has been a drawback to those that should have been eternal for many a millennium. The same that seek to be eternal have taken Death out of play. With the Machine from underneath Richmond gone, the power gathers with no place to go and no conduit to contain it. With that power even Death may be imprisoned. The ones, who were taken before their time, ache to return to the mortal coil and make further marks upon the future. As the Gathering in Richmond draws near the Dead have found a way to return, but the Dead are the key to helping to free Death. With Help from Allies and a few pieces of Old
Magick you may be able to change the Past, Present, and the Future. Above all else beware for that which is dead can eternal lie, and through Strange Aeons even Death may die. Will those who seek power triumph or will there be Redemption for the Departed.
The Redemption for the Departed will be a Live Action Role-playing Scenario that will take place during RavenCon. The game will run from Friday the 13th at 8:30pm till Sunday the 15th 11:00 am.

1st ed. D&D (AD&D)
A two-part adventure in Dragon #84 (April 1984) & #85 (May 1985). I will be offering The Heart of Light and The Ebon Stone, a two-part adventure from a tournament module from April & May 1984. If
interested, players can play both adventures or just one part, as these are stand-alone adventures but link together. Each adventure is set for four hours of play time and pre-generated characters of about 5th level will be provided.
In a time far removed from our modern, fast-paced world there existed an era before Angry Birds, Words with Friends, where an apple was bitten and windows were cleaned. This ancient time was 1984 and people were so poor and destitute that there was only one version of Dungeons & Dragons, and the people of the land knew the name of Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson, prophets who have left this land. And now you have an opportunity to experience those troubled and trying times yourself, in the “The Twofold Talisman” your hearty band of lead-based figures will attempt to recover two magical gems. With only four hours to complete the recovery of each stone, you will be hard-pressed to battle through the dangerous rooms of a dungeon and still emerge victorious – twice. You can choose to play both adventures or each stands alone, pre-gen characters are provided and you must name them, can you do better than koneann, or candolf? Come, away, well met, and in a small tavern….. your adventure awaits.
