Luke,
Good point. I'll get Michael to draft something suitable to go out over
 both our signatures.

Yeah, I'm happy to have Buddha chair the meetings. He doesn't have any 
particular axe to grind. Might be an idea to get the other interested 
parties involved, too. We should be able to snow them without too much 
trouble, but if we leave them out they'll make waves later on.

Luke, it's good to hear from you after all this time. 
An excellent idea. However, I'm sure it's going to take some 
heated discussion before all the details are agreed to our mutual 
satisfaction. I think we may want to appoint a neutral chair. 
I suggest Buddha.
Yahveh

Hi Yahveh, how's tricks? Listen, god, the deadline for this Armageddon 
gig is getting pretty close, you know. How about you get your people 
to talk to my people and start sorting out some details?
Ciao baby

All things Great and Small

In the golden age of peace and prosperity, what is there for men of action to do... but to clean up the mess of others. Their sewers has been a dumping ground for generations. The time for purification has come.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in the city, rival religious factions have despaired of talk - action speaks louder than words.

A 1 session Ravensnest for Demigogues, fighters, priests, and anyone else who doesn't mind treading through sh_t (i.e., 20 players)

Return to Hanging Rock

On Saturday 14th February 1900 a party of schoolgirls from Appleyard College picnicked at Hanging Rock near Mt. Macedon in the state of Victoria. During the afternoon several members of the party disappeared without a trace......

Three weeks ago, you received a letter from Charlton & Cook Enterprises inviting you to a function at Hanging rock on Monday 14th February 2000. You have always had a morbid curiosity concerning the events that unfolded 100 years ago - why wouldn't you?

You have heard the stories since you were in primary school, usually at family gatherings when no-one thought you were still awake. So you accepted the invitation, and now you are on your way to the very place that changed your family and rocked a community.

Return to Hanging Rock: a Systemless Freeform for 15 people.

Hoist the Jolly Roger

For Centuries the Ring Islands have been a haven for piracy in Yttaria. A place where the only law is that of the strong, and every man and woman is free to find their own destiny, or die trying. Where all you need is a fast ship and a loyal crew and untold riches are yours for the plucking.

But times are changing. The world is becoming more civilised, and the maritime nations will no longer stand the depredation on the their merchant fleets. The navies are making a concerted effort to stamp out piracy once and for all.

The Ring Islands are still safe, but for how long.

In the Islands' only permanent settlement, Port Blood, a Council of the Brotherhood has been called for the first time in decades. Its purpose is to decide what to do about the current threat. Will the pirates stand and fight as a united force, or will it be every man for himself?

This promises to be a night to remember. A night to meet old friends and old enemies. A night to forge new alliances and to settle old scores. One thing is for certain: when the sun rises on Port Blood tomorrow, one way or another, life on the high seas will never be the same again.

A single session Freeform for 27 assorted pirates, buccaneers, cut-throats, corsairs, freebooters, and various scum of the civilised world. This is the latest in a series of fantasy freeforms run at every Phenomenon since Pheno 2. Knowledge of the previous games will not help in the slightest (for plot purposes). Costuming is encouraged and will be greatly appreciated.

Blood is thicker than Water

The Year is 1975.

The Vietnam War has ended...

And our soldiers return home, unwelcomed and unwantedÉ

But the Battle is far from over.

For the nights have grown long in the city of CanberraÉ

Restless shades have been playing havoc upon the fears and hatreds of the city's predators.

And now from the shadows stir claws seeking ancient foes

whilst polished shells of the finest silver are placed one by one into shiny black clips

and a small handful of mortals stumble onto a far darker truth than they could ever imagine.

This is a game been run under the auspices of the International Live Action Role Playing White Wolf Fan Club, The Camarilla. They will be running a Troupe Game designed for a White Wolf "World of Darkness" crossover between Vampires, Werewolves, and Mortals. Mature themes will be dealt with in the game, and characterisation is valued highly. Costuming is also desirable. All characters will be pre-generated and will be given out at registration. Game designed for 20 to 40 players.

Note: This event will be scheduled to run on Saturday 30th September, in the last slot of the day (4:30-7:30), however it may run longer than the 3 hours allocated (up to 5 hours). This session is priced differently to other sessions, in that it costs $7.50 to enter, but each entrant who enters before the late date may play in a World of Darkness tabletop game for free.
