Phenomenon Labs has the pleasure to offer...
A roleplaying convention

Presenting for your edification... (navigation)


Living D20

RPGA Southwest Pacific Branch logoEntry into RPGA events is individual. Teams of four to six players will be formed for each game based on how many players sign up, and what level PC they wish to play. While every effort will be made to let you play with your friends, if there are six of you and two individuals, RPGA rules say we must run two tables of four. Your understanding and co-operation are appreciated.

All RPGA general rules, as well as any campaign specific rules, are applicable to RPGA games at Phenomenon 05.

All RPGA games are bring-your-own character, although we have some ready to play PCs for Legacy of the Green Regent and Mark of Heroes. Specific information on character creation can be found at http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=rpga/play/campaigns and selecting the campaign you wish to play.

Senior GM is Wes Nicholson.

Session costs

All Living D20 games cost only $6 per game, even if they run over more than one session, except for the Interactive, which will remain at a cost of $12.

Scheduling note

The Living D20 games run on a slightly different schedule to the rest of Pheno (actually the only difference is that LD20 games will tend to run into or through Pheno breaks, so stock up on munchies in advance!). However, this year some LD20 games will run strenuously if not strictly in standard Pheno slots so you can mix and match.

Mark of Heroes

Legacy of the Green Regent

Both Green Regent games run over two sessions, though they should take about one and a half.

LGR 19: A Difference of Opinion

by Greg Marks

Racial strife runs rampant through Loudwater. Not everyone is content with the Decree of Reception granting the orcs of the High Forest unhindered access to the city; especially the elves. But loud words are not the end of it. Someone is killing the elves that have spoken out against the orcs, and the orcs are suspected, and through it all, no one trusts the scions that follow the Green Regent Otar.

Available on Saturday from 0900-1600 and 1630pm-2330.

LGR 20: The Howling of a Mighty Storm

by Greg Marks

Several members of the Circle of the Stag are missing. Those druids who keeper the Lady's Chalice and the recipe of the Greendraught that determines the Green Regent are in need of your help. Rumors suggest that the missing druids where somehow involved with altering the ritual to falsely choose Otar as the Green Regent. Surely Mielikki would not allow that! Would she?

Available 0900-1600 Sunday and Monday.

Living Force

Both Living Force games run in a single session each.

LFA410: Lockdown on Soboll

by Rob Edwards

Thaereian forces on Cularin have had to fall back, recently. While some of the Thaereians made it off-planet, many fell back to Soboll. The heroes of Cularin have quite the task ahead of them — they must infiltrate the platform city of Soboll and capture Major Kurth San, the base commander. Direct frontal assault is not an option, because of the number of Cularin citizens trapped in the locked-down platform city.

Available Saturday at 0900, 1300, 1630 and 2030.

LFA411: Uffels Prisoners

by Rob Edwards

The heroes respond to a distress call and discover a secret that could spell the end of Cularin's bid for self-governance. And turn a potential ally into a deadly enemy.

Available Saturday at 0900, 1300 and 1630, and Monday at 0900.

Living Greyhawk Interactive: An Ill Wind in Krestible

By lots of people

There are conflicts within the Weisspeer family and tensions with the Hüssens are unresolved. Threat of invasion is ever present but Krestible City is untouched as yet... or is it?

A special Living Greyhawk Perrenlandregion interactive in two related streams for investigative PCs of APL 2-8 and APL 8-16 — pick one (you can only play this game ONCE). There is a limit of 36 players per stream, and each will run over two convention slots, morning and afternoon. Expect more PC to PC interaction and less combat than the usual LG format, but that doesn't mean you won't have to protect yourselves. Check the Perrenland website at www.perrenland.lythia.com for updates.

Registering your character on the website does NOT mean you are entered in the interactive. You must register for the game with the convention organisers to have a guaranteed entry.

APL 2-8 runs Saturday 0900-1600. APL8-16 runs Monday 0900-1600.
