Greetings,
******* GENTLE REMINDER *******
We have moved to Warhorn Version 2! If you have not already done so, please create an account on the new warhorn site and then register for Vegas Game Day.
https://warhorn.net/events/vegas-game-day
*******************************
On September 21 we will be hosting the Vegas Game Day at the /usr/lib Tech Library on the second floor of The Beat cafe. Whether you're interested in learning a new game or meeting new gamers, this is the place to be. There will be table-top role-playing games and board games.
We are all guests for this event thanks to the kindness of The Beat cafe and Work In Progress. Please do not bring outside food to the event; The Beat has a great selection of food to offer, and there are plenty of places to eat within easy walking distance. Those who bring in outside food may be asked to leave. For people visiting for the first time, you can ask The Beat staff for directions to the stairs that lead to the usr/lib Tech Library.
To reserve your seat for a particular game, please go to:

At 9 AM I will open the doors for the meeting area (one hour before gaming officially begins) to prep for the game day. If anyone would like to volunteer, I will need help moving tables, folding fliers, and posting events on the board. It's also a good time to get to know one another and ask questions of the upcoming games.
At 10 AM we kick off with gaming! Marshall Nix will be hosting the D&D Next Playtest. Help participate in the playtest and give your opinion of the latest iteration of the popular Dungeons and Dragons line.

Jerry Grayson will be hosting "Heads on the Door" using the Atlantis: The Second Age ruleset. The heroes are sent to the frozen wastes of hyperborean to deliver supplies and to escort prisoners back to the empire. What they find at the far flung fort is horrific and grisly. Stalking the waste among the feral northern tribes is something primordial and hungry.

Jeremy Olson will be hosting Shadowrun Missions 04-12 Showcase. The players are lined up. The goals are clear. The waiting is over. The ultimate rush is beginning, and it’s going to pull a lot of dangerous elements closer and closer together until they explode. The shadows of Seattle have been heaved this way and that in the Great Seattle Artifact Rush, and a fair number of artifacts have been collected (in exchange for a handful of deaths and a helping of destruction). The powers of the magical world have been alerted, and they ready to get their hands on as many artifacts as possible. This means shadowruns, which means plenty of runners are about to be caught up in one of the worst mana-based drek-storms to hit the city in a long while. What starts as an investigation into a museum heist rapidly grows into a conflagration that could consume a good part of the sprawl. Clever players will need to see if they can survive, and how much nuyen they can wrangle out of the fight. Hopefully they'll get enough for a nice vacation or significant medical treatment, because chances are that they're going to need both.

Marty Weil will be hosting the Pathfinder Society Scenario 02-11 The Penumbral Accords. The daughters of Absalom's mysterious Blakros family have long been among the most pursued maidens in the Inner Sea. Now the family's matriarch approaches the Pathfinder Society to help her break a centuries-old pact with the denizens of the Plane of Shadow to save her twin daughters from a life of servitude at the hands of the Onyx Alliance. Heading into the fan-favorite adventuring location of Blakros Museum, the PCs have only a short amount of time to break the Penumbral Accords and solidify the Pathfinder Society's ties to the powerful Blakroses. This is a Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 1st to 5th level characters.

Mike Ma will be hosting the Pathfinder Society Scenario 05-01 The Glass River Rescue. A Pathfinder leading a diplomatic envoy from the dwarven holds of the Five Kings Mountains has gone missing, and the balance of power in a time of war hangs on her rescue. The Pathfinder Society's divinations indicate the agent was waylaid in the theocratic nation of Razmiran, when one of her escorted diplomats failed to pay a requested tithe. Now it falls to the party to enter Razmiran, locate the missing Pathfinder and the dwarven diplomats, and escape with their lives. This is a Pathfinder Society Scenario for characters of 1st to 5th level.

At 2 PM we have a meal break. Please be back in time for the next slot!
Continuing with the 3 PM slot, Jerrod Gunning will be hosting "Flight of the Living Dead" using the Savage Worlds rule-set. Outbreak at 40,000 feet! A B Movie scenario for 1-6 mature players trying to survive a zombie outbreak on a 747 night flight from Chicago to Las Vegas. Pre-gens provided.

Ethan Cline will be running the Pathfinder Society Scenario 03-23 The Goblinblood Dead. More than a decade has passed since the Goblinblood Wars left the nation of Isger in shambles, and the Pathfinder Society uses the many abandoned roads through the county's interior to smuggle valuable relics. But when a series of attacks on the Varisian caravans carrying the illicit cargo puts the route in jeopardy, it falls to the PCs to investigate and rid the region of the threat to the Society's operations. This is a Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for levels 1–5.

Chris Clay will be running the Pathfinder Society Scenario 05-02 The Wardstone Patrol. All-out war has erupted on the long-contested border between the crusader nation of Mendev and the demon-infested Worldwound. With the magical defenses that once held the demons at bay failing, defense of the region now falls to small patrols of mobile soldiers to resupply, reinforce, and communicate between the border's many fortresses and outposts. With so much at stake, the Pathfinder Society has enlisted many of its agents to assist in the war effort, both to protect its own interests and to prevent the onrushing tide of demonic attackers from plunging the entire Inner Sea region into chaos. On one such wardstone patrol, however, the party may find itself facing an enemy of an entirely different nature. This is a Pathfinder Society Scenario for characters of 3rd to 7th level.

At 7 PM, Chris Clay will begin closing down the room. Volunteers can help by picking up trash, moving the tables back into their original positions, and wiping down the whiteboards.
