KC Game Fair (KC, MO) - Nov 4-7
Posted: Wed Oct 27, 2010 9:20 pm
This is just kind of an informational post about a small, regional con in Kansas City, MO next weekend (Nov 4-7). The KC Game Fair will be held at the KC Expo Center, near the KCI airport.
Additional information can be found on the convention site, here:

Tim Kask is one of the Guests of Honor and will be running several OD&D games over the weekend.
I'll also be running a couple of games over the weekend, though mine will be under AD&D (natch!). One of these games in particular may be of interest to DCC fans since it will be based on one of the earlier DCC's. Here are the event details for the two games I've submitted to the con admin:
Lost Tomb of the Sphinx Queen – Thursday, 2:00 PM
Event Title: Lost Tomb of the Sphinx Queen
Category: RPG
Game System: AD&D (1E)
Description: Legend tells of an age when Sphinxes ruled a great empire at the dawn of time. The greatest of the Sphinx rulers was Ankharet, the Sphinx Queen, a ruler that saw her reign last for millennia. But in time her heart grew dark, and eventually her subjects and kin cast her down, unable to defeat her outright. What they could not destroy, the victors sought to imprison. A mighty Tomb was constructed, a monument to the once great Sphinx empire, that would also serve as a prison for Ankharet. The characters have been summoned to the Tomb, for it has been prophesied that they and they alone are the heroes that at long last can defeat Ankharet and lift this threat from the word of man.
A high level adventure (PC levels 14-15) for players with some experience.
Event Judge: Jon Hershberger
Event Author: Chris Doyle and Joe Crow
Number of Players: 8
Slot: Thurs. 2PM
Mud Sorcerer’s Tomb – Saturday, 9:00 AM
Event Title: Mud Sorcerer’s Tomb
Category: RPG
Game System: AD&D (1E)
Description: The Jezulein cult was a cult of evil sorcerers and mysticists that specialized in combining elemental magics, particularly the elements of earth and water. Thus, they became known as “mud sorcerers” by their detractors. Regardless of the labels they acquired, in time they amassed great power and wealth, eventually earning the wrath of the other organized religions of the day. The cultists became the benefactors of a continent-wise ‘witch hunt’ that would drive them under ground. They created great tombs for themselves, hoping to wait out, and out live, the fury of the powers aligned against them and one day rise again from their dark tombs to take their place at the top of the world stage. But, their plans never came to pass. The cult was all but snuffed out, the leaders’ tombs lost to the ages, forgotten and dismissed as myth. Until recently…when the entrance to one such mud sorcerer’s tomb was uncovered. The PCs have been asked by the local sages guild to travel to the excavation site, to enter the recently discovered tomb and to claim whatever artifacts, wealth and knowledge that can be claimed from the Mud Sorcerer’s Tomb!
A high level adventure (PC levels 10-14) from the pages of Dungeon magazine, for players with some experience.
