Jason Arons of the Savannah MES Domain will be running Mage the Awakening. Seth Adams from the Charleston MES Domain will be running Combined: The Accord. Mike (“Doc”) Lone of the Spartanburg MES domain will be running Werewolf the Apocalypse as well as a demo of a Pathfinder-based LARP.

In addition to those awesome LARPs, the MES groups will be running a series of 4 panels during the convention with the help of the Destria LARP group: How to Host a Moot, How to Start an MES Chapter, MES Combat Demonstration, and LARP Costuming.
In addition to all of this awesome LARP gaming we are offering over 180 tables of PFS and all the specials.

So the registration special is closed, but you can still register for $40 through anyone of the two hundred Eternal Members! If you need to find one, you can find lots of them willing to save you $10 by visiting our facebook page or group and just mention you want to register for $40 through an Eternal Member and I am sure several of them will volunteer to register you!

The primary SCARAB hotel is now full, not only is our 70 room block full but the HEI has allowed us to fill beyond that number as far as they are willing and have asked that we now open the overflow hotel.
The overflow hotel is our old reliable hotel across the street from the new convention center. The Days Inn and Suites at Fort Jackson (7300 Garners Ferry Rd, I-77 & US 378, Exit #9, Columbia, SC 29209) has agreed to a $68.00 room rate for ANY room type while supplies last. However, lots of people have already figured out that the Days Inn was our overflow and have booked an enormous number of rooms out of that block.
There are only a few Kings left but there are plenty of doubles and even suites and the Days Inn will let ANY of them go for $68/night!
You can reserve your room by calling 1-803-783-5500 and asking for the SCARAB rate. You can also guarantee your room online at their website for $59/night but this is a non-refundable guaranteed booking. So if aren't certain you can attend do NOT use this method to book your room.
The Days Inn includes all the amenities you are used to from past years including a hot country breakfast buffet with your room.

Pre-registration will be closing on January 3rd, 2014. At which time we will also suspend the Eternal Members ability to register non-Eternal Members until after the convention. If you want to register for $50 or better yet for $40 through an Eternal Member you need to get it done by the 3rd. Eternal Members will still be able to register at the Eternal Member rate after the 3rd, they just will not be able to register anyone else in the Eternal Rewards Program until after the convention, when it all begins again for 2015!!!
Thousands of dollars in prizes plus lots of boons will be given away at SCARAB! We've got dozens of sponsors providing some great prizes so come on out and have some fun.
Shop and compare between SCARAB and other conventions and see what kind of value you get for your hard earned dollars.
Remember you can book your room online at our overflow hotel The Days Inn and Suites at Fort Jackson (7300 Garners Ferry Rd, I-77 & US 378, Exit #9, Columbia, SC 29209) at their website for $59/night but this is a non-refundable guaranteed booking. You can also reserve your room by calling 1-803-783-5500 and asking for the SCARAB rate $68.00 for ANY room type (suite, double or king) while supplies last.

Are the Thornkeep Adventures double slots?
No. They are the normal 5-6 hour slots. I see you are signed up for Sanctum of a Lost Age, which can be a highly variable time. Trust me when I say that the GM running that slot will do everything in his power to move things as rapidly as possible while still providing a full experience.
*bounce bounce bounce*
is it time yet ????!!!! zomg
Yes. As a matter of fact today is January 16th. You'd better get ready for your flight.
Edit: I probably shouldn't have dumped Charisma if I was going to post something like that.

I had a great time at SCARAB! It had great energy and a positive atmosphere throughout the entire weekend. Delbert and the entire SCARAB staff were very helpful and took care of their players and GM's.
I HIGHLY recommend going to this con and will try making it back myself!
