Suggestions Needed: Gen Con 2008...

[Flynn]

Good Morning, All:

As usual, the wheel of the year turns and once more we are at the point where I must consider ideas for the adventures I will be running at Gen Con Indy this summer. Event submission begins in a few weeks, and in order to insure a place for my games, I will have to submit them quickly.

This year, I thought I'd do something new, and ask you guys what you would like to see as a Convention adventure that can be run from beginning to end in 4-6 hours. Are there any scenarios you'd like to explore? What kind of adventure would you want to sign up for?

I was thinking about some exploratory "missions" along a frontier, but if you guys would rather see something else, I am open to hearing your input. Feel free to choose your time period (Interstellar Wars, Classic Era, 1248, whatever), if it will help with your suggestion. If you want a "Return To..." style adventure that revisits an old classic, feel free to suggest it. Whatever it is, I'm open to hearing it. If it sparks my interest, too, I could be running your idea in August.

Basically, you have until the end of January, 2008, to post some ideas and concepts of games you'd like to see me run at Gen Con (again within the 4-6 hour time constraint). I'll choose the ones that seem to get the most support or spark the most enthusiasm within me, and I'll take the ideas from there, fleshing three of them out into full adventures for the Con.

So here's your chance to help decide what scenarios I will run at Gen Con. I look forward to your input.

With Regards,
Flynn

Bug hunt! Typical scene opens with the crates from the local scientist being loaded into the cargo hold. He slips the loaders a few creds to make sure they didn't really hear that clicking from inside the box. All is fine until the ship moves into position for jump, then the pirates hit. A lucky shot clips the drives just as the ship enters jump, sending it into a misjump. During the fight outside the ship, the few members of the pirate band that slipped aboard as passengers cause chaos. It isn't until the fighting dies down that the group notices that a few of the boxes in the hold have been broken open. Hey, wasn't there four passengers that boarded?...Where is that damn cat?

In the Fifth Frontier War

'Imperial Extraction Team Nine: your Mission, if you choose to accept it...'

Leading Imperial Scientist, while researching in the Spinward Marches disappears. Leaving a breadcrumb trail that brings you to an Ine Givar/Zhodani cell.

I might just show up at GenCon this year for something like that.
