GAMING
A long time ago, in a land far
away, before there were collectable trading card and computer games
there was such a thing as rpgs (role playing games) where players
actually sat around a table and told each other what they were doing
and rolled dice, those funny ones with all the different sides, to see
if they accomplished what they sat out to do. At HallowCon you can
relive the good old days of real gaming with favorites such as D&D
(Yes, Dungeons and Dragons), and an assortment of Steve Jackson Games,
Savage World, 7th Sea, Looney Labs and much more.

Working from their
office in downtown Atlanta the folks of NGP (North Georgia Paranormal)
research hauntings, psychics
and other unusual phenomenon. At leasts that's how the yellow page add
reads. However, for those who
know, the truth is quite different. The NGP has the skills to deal with
the magical world; when the night
goes bump they bump back. Whether you need help with a family ghost or
the troll under your bed
they are the ones to see. Special investigator for the GBI, Johnathan
Richards, is just such a man. He is
the one they call when things get weird. Unquestionably, things are
weird in Savannah. Richards has
three bodies who, according to the medical examiner, died of fright and
a ghostly ship has been
seen sailing up the Savannah river. He needs help, NGP help, before
more bodies show up at the morgue.

2 to 6 players, ages 12 and up. About 60 to 90 minutes per game.
Experience: None
Last Night on Earth, published by Flying Frog Productions, is a zombie-themed board game with five scenarios on a modular board that pits heroes against zombies. Zombies and heroes have different movement rules, of course, but the zombies are given unlimited resources -- the heroes have limited resources and must work together.
"Every element of the game is intended to be cinematic, allowing players to jump into the action of a zombie movie. The eight unique heroes are all based on horror movie arch-types like the small town sheriff or the hospital nurse, while the various scenarios for the game are like movie plots."
Caribbean to capture territories
and build defenses while picking up crewmen and cannons for your ship.
Along the way on your voyage, there will be great mysterious treasures
that help in combat, movement, money, and even curses!
This is a game of economic management, property building, and naval combat. Victory can be achieved through force of arms, economics or a combination of the two. Why pay when you can fight? That’s the pirate way. But only a wise captain knows when the price of fighting is too high. It all depends on what kind of Captain you want to be on your way in becoming the Pirate King.
We're proud to host the official regional launch of GURPS Martial Arts!
P.K., from the Steve Jackson Games "Men in Black", will be running martial arts adventures in room C of Suite 406 from late afternoon until the wee hours on Friday and Saturday. It's a different adventure each day, and loot and swag await he (or she) who runs cold steel through the most pirate hearts! Whether you're a GURPS veteran or you've never even touched a roleplaying book, stop by for some action and adventure!
Friday's Adventure: An Ill Wind.
When the dreaded Turkish corsair "Bloody Bill" sails into the sleepy coastal town of Monseratto,can anything save the townspeople from the horrible fate which awaits them? A handful of strangers, from different lands and with different skills, must band together to fend off this menace.
Saturday's Adventure: This Iron Cage.
Darghouth Reis, the "Pirate King of the Barbary Coast", is a man with a grudge. Those who once dared to stand against him have been captured, one at a time, and imprisoned in his dungeon for execution. If they are strong enough and fast enough, perhaps they can escape... and then, revenge!
We will also be hosting the official Chattanooga area launch of the new Illuminati expansion, Bavarian Fire Drill. Rev. Bob, our resident Man In Black, will be on hand to train new suckers apprentices in the fine arts of backstabbing and world domination. He will also be available to run most of Steve Jackson's other board and card games; a full list will be posted on-site. Highlights include Munchkin (backstabbing and dungeon crawling), SPANC (backstabbing and space piracy), Ninja Burger (backstabbing and the ancient art of fast food delivery), GreedQuest (backstabbing as a cross between a dungeon crawl and a pub crawl), and Spooks (backstabbing you can do even when barely lucid). In addition, he will have other Halloween favorites, such as Cthulhu 500 (where the horrors of Lovecraft meet the horror of NASCAR) from Atlas Games and the brand-new Zombie Fluxx from Looney Labs.
