A Call to Arms: Star Fleet is a hexless, miniatures based game of fleet combat in the Star Fleet Universe. From small skirmishes involving single ships or small squadrons to massive fleets between rival empires, ACTASF allows even the largest fleet battles to be fought in a single evening and the smaller skirmishes can be completed in about an hour.
A Call to Arms Star Fleet is designed as a simpler and faster-playing fleet-vs.-fleet combat game. While FC can handle a nine-vs.-nine fleet battle in a long evening(SFB needs a whole day), A Call to Arms Star Fleet can resolve a 20-vs.-20 game in a moderate evening’s play. This is done by simplifying everything. There is no energy allocation; ships just move and fight. (If you take some actions that would use a lot of power in FC or SFB, it will slow your ship down (or cause some other penalty); going at high speed blocks some power-intensive actions. Your chief engineer is handling that, leaving you to fight the battle.) ACTASF uses a you-go/I-go system. Players alternate moving one ship at a time its full movement, then alternate firing the weapons of one ship at a time. (In effect, there is only one “impulse” per game turn.) Because this is the Star Fleet Universe, special(but simple) rules allow drones that don’t reach a target in one turn to remain on the map and attack on the second turn. This preserves their “influence on enemy movement” function. While ACTASF is intended for use with tabletop miniatures, you could substitute counters for the ships if you want to give the game a try.

A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 7th-level pregenerated characters.
Years of political maneuvering, espionage, smuggling, and diplomacy have set the stage for the Aspis Consortium's most ambitious attack on their Inner Sea rivals: the Pathfinder Society. All that remains are several key preparations that only an elite team of Aspis agents can arrange, and once the fireworks begin, these same agents must strike quickly and mercilessly to secure objectives - some shared and some connected to deeper plots - and escape without the Society being any the wiser.

Few know how to unlock such a jail, much less locate the key. The Society has identified just such a sage: a disgraced efreeti who has sworn to share her priceless knowledge in exchange for the PCs' assistance. The Pathfinders travel to the cosmopolitan melting pot of Zjarra on the Plane of Fire, where they must fulfill the cruel genie's schemes - or find some other way to fulfill the deal.

You pull from a regular deck of cards. Shuffle those all together and deal them out so each person has 4 cards. They can't look at them until the game starts though. Place spoons on the table (enough for all except one player). Position them fairly, so each person pretty much has the same chance to grab one. You have one person (this job rotates hand to hand) start calling out 'pass'. How you pass is to select one card from your hand, put it on the table face down next to the person on your right, then you pick up the card the person on your left put down. You keep doing this until 1) you get 4 of a kind or 2) someone else gets four of a kind. At this point you grab a spoon, and the person who doesn't get a spoon gets a 'pig' point. Once you get 3 pig points you are a hog. If you are a hog you have lost, but you can still be part of the game. Hogs can talk to game players, but if a game player talks to a hog they get a pig point. Of course the winner is the person left when everyone else is a hog.

More than 400 years have transpired since the Pathfinder Society began in a humble tavern that has quietly weathered the centuries without incident. When a routine errand there uncovers a clue left behind by one of the founding Pathfinders, it's up to the PCs to solve a puzzle whose pieces are scattered across Absalom - and whose prize dates back to the Society's darkest years.
"The Wounded Wisp" is an evergreen, replayable scenario designed to help introduce players to the history of the Pathfinder Society and Absalom's greatest sites.
The Society's investigations have borne fruit, but they've also awakened a terrible foe. To avert disaster, the PCs embark for the lawless frontier harbor of Port Eclipse, where one of the Society's allies disappeared while seeking a powerful weapon. In this shadowy urban landscape, it's up to the PCs to find the lost operative, track down this relic, and bring it to bear against the ancient evil that now threatens them all.
"Caught in the Eclipse" is the final scenario in the three-part "Tyranny of Winds" campaign arc. It is preceded by "Pathfinder Society Scenario #8-08: The Sandstorm Prophecy" and "Pathfinder Society Scenario #8-10: Secrets of the Endless Sky". All three chapters are intended to be played in order.

At the end of each round, some players will be swapped into opposing rooms. If the Red Team's Bomber is in the same room as the President at the end of the game, then the Red Team wins; otherwise the Blue Team wins. Lying encouraged.

The Peerless Empire of shaitan genies has warred with its fiery counterpart for centuries and thinly stretched resources leave the shaitans in need of additional aid. They have founded a new state-sanctioned mercenary company known as the Ungrounded, which draws upon free agents from across the multiverse. One of the Society's few friends on the Plane of Earth has recommended at least a handful of Pathfinders join the Ungrounded, knowing that even a few months' service could dramatically enhance the Society's reputation (and fill those agents' pockets) in this distant realm. The PCs travel to the magnificent Opaline Vault as the Society's first envoys, but in doing so they must survive the otherworldly threats that lurk in both this strange environment and within their own ranks.
Content in "Ungrounded but Unbroken" also contributes directly to the ongoing storyline of the Sovereign Court faction.

A haunting melody lingers upon the foul mists that swirl along the outskirts of Fauligmere, creating an unnatural tension among the town’s inhabitants. Legends of a witch suggest that the unfortunate events plaguing the fishing village are something more than a run of bad luck. Someone (or something) sinister is surely responsible.

Come join our Head of Gaming as she runs Ghost Blitz for the kids..
Ghost Blitz is the lightning fast shape and color recognition game that is sure to test the reflexes of kids, families and gamers alike. In Ghost Blitz, five wooden items sit on the table waiting to be caught: a white ghost, a green bottle, a cute grey mouse, a blue book, and a comfortable red chair. Each card in the deck shows pictures of two objects, with one or both objects colored the wrong way. With all players playing at the same time, someone reveals a card, then players grab for the "right" object – but which object is right?

In A Feast For Odin, you take on the role of a group of Vikings as they work to increase their holdings and prestige. This is accomplished through raiding and pillaging, exploration, animal husbandry, and trading. Each turn, the players are provided with a set of limited actions to choose from. But once an action has been taken, it is no longer available for use. People that have played any of Uwe Rosenberg’s past games (Agricola, Caverna, or Fields of Arle for example) will find this to be very familiar. In order to emerge victorious as the most powerful Viking, it is going to take efficiency, planning, strategy, and a little bit of luck.
It depicts WWII on a grand scale, full global level. Up to five players can play on two different teams. The Axis which has Germany and Japan, and the Allies which has the USA, the United Kingdom, and the USSR. A full map of the world is provided, broken up in various chunks similar to Risk.

In this game, you are the head of a farming household- "Agricola" means "farming" in Latin. You'll need to expand your little 2-room wooden shack to make room for new family members, grow your family, increase your ability to feed your bigger family, hire people to work for your farm and for your family, and build cool things, while also upgrading your home (plastering the wooden walls with clay, adding stone to the clay to keep the family warm in winter), and also ... FARMING. The Farming part is collecting Grain and Veggies, plowing fields, sowing the grain and veggies in your new fields, collecting wood, building fences and stables, and putting animals in your new pastures. At the end of 14 turns, the winneris the player who has managed to do at least a little in all (or most) of these things, while hopefully building up a good combo to make one of those areas of interest get really well developed. The best part is there's no sweating involved!")

You will get a feel for WWII combat and we hope you will have fun fighting your way across Europe!
Austria was in a twist feeling like a 3rd party to europeon politics around 1808 and a few ole boys set about planning to rectify this situation in 1809. Well, long story short things did not play out quite so satisfactorly for Austria. The battle represented in this game will be aproximately a Korp sized engagement based VERY loosely on the key players involved. Not historically accurate, just historical.
Model Substitutions may be in play due to limited time to get equal sides. So don't be terribly offended if scots greys ride with the french!

Among the greatest crimes committed during an attack on the Grand Lodge was the abduction of a high-ranking member of the Pathfinder Society. The Society has tracked the kidnapped to another plane of existence, where his captor is preparing to sell her prize to a host of otherworldly bidders. Can the PCs intervene and mount a rescue before the esteemed captive disappears forever?
Content in "Abducted in Aether" also contributes directly to the ongoing story line of the Grand Lodge faction.
A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 8th-level pregenerated characters.
A parasitic faction known as the Korholm Agenda has tried to corrupt the upstanding Aspis Consortium from the inside out, all in the vain pursuit of revenge and profit. Now one of the powerful Aspis Patrons has learned that the Korholm Agenda has siphoned the Consortium's funding to build a base of operations in Nidal. This shall not stand. He has assembled a team of top agents - including both new faces and veterans of the attack on the Grand Lodge a year ago - to infiltrate the operation and shut it down by any means necessary.
In this adventure the players portray agents of the Aspis Consortium using 8th-level pregenerated characters. Content in "Serpents' Ire" also ties into a special metaplot element from Pathfinder Society Special #6-98: "Serpents Rise." Players who have completed that special event are encouraged to bring its Chronicle sheet when playing this adventure.
To most, Mount Shibotai's devastating eruption was a footnote in Tian history. To the shadow-bound wayangs who settled the jagged crater in Minata, the volcano was the reason they inhabited Golarion at all. In their de facto capitol Inahiyi, the wayangs host an annual festival to commemorate the catastrophe that brought them into this world and forced them to ally with their neighbors against a common threat. On especially auspicious anniversaries, the wayangs invite foreigners to contribute to the ceremony, and the Pathfinder Society has negotiated the privilege of having its agents observe the sacred ceremonies as these outside participants. This is no mere anthropological opportunity, though, and the PCs may be all that stands between their world and an unspeakable evil.
The mist-shrouded Gloomspires have defied local seafarers and treasure hunters for centuries, but Venture-Captain Calisro Benarry has nearly unlocked the secrets of the spire where the dread pirate Sevenfingers hid his treasure. Great prizes beget jealous rivals, though, and the PCs must be prepared to fend off all others who desire Sevenfingers's riches - rivals both past and present.

Or will you end up eating bullets for breakfast?
Many kingdoms have recently and suddenly fallen to unexpected plagues. The plagues themselves bring everything from hordes of nightmarish creatures, to rain of blood and storms of purple lightning. Some even say that swarms of wild motes of living Chaos Magic are flittering about the land, sewing evil magic and curses wherever they roam. Wherever one of these plagues strikes, chaos, rot and disease all set in upon the land and the very Earth itself, and anything and everything which dares sets foot upon it, rots away under the influence of this foul magic and becomes a creature of death. The Capital city of Sunsanctum has issued a call to any capable adventurers to locate the source of these plagues and put a stop to them.

When enough of the alphabet has been claimed, players finish the current turn, then score all money, stock and letter patents owned.

This is the classic AH game based on the famous book. It recreates the books feel brilliantly. Most who play this bloody game fall in love with it. But it can run long, so I will use the rules from the last WBC I attended which shorten the game some. 6 hours is still possible though if it runs long.

The Great Commission was definitely not easy for the Apostles to carry out. There was all kinds of opposition to the spread of the early Church. In this game, each player takes on the role of one of the Apostles, working against all opposition to spread the Christian faith throughout all the known world, working to collect the Gospels and the Epistles and publish them as the New Testament. Be warned - the 'powers that be' are violently opposed to your mission. Each turn, the Active Player will roll to see if "messages are delivered" or not. If not, there's no talking among the players. Otherwise, each player is expected to give his or her input on what cards to play, what territories to focus on, who will go on each mission, and what abilities the Apostles improve at the end of each Turn. The players are opposed by the Tribulations Deck and, if there's a 5th player, also by the Antagonist Player, who will move the Roman Legions around and hinder the Church's efforts wherever the Legions stop. For this game, we will not be using the "Martyr Difficulty Level Tribulations." Accomplishing all the objectives of the Beginners' Scenario will still be tough, but have faith- the one who perseveres to the end will be richly rewarded.
Liar's Dice is a dice game where each player is given five dice and cup to roll and hide them with. Players make successively higher declarations regarding the results of all the dice remaining in the game, e.g. "there are ten sixes". However, someone can always contest the bid. When that happens, all the dice are revealed and either the bidder or the caller loses dice, depending on who was correct. The last player with dice is the winner.
You pull from a regular deck of cards 4 of a kind for each person playing. Shuffle those all together and deal them out so each person has 4 cards. They can't look at them until the game starts though. Place spoons on the table (enough for all except one player). Position them fairly, so each person pretty much has the same chance to grab one. You have one person (this job rotates hand to hand) start calling out 'pass'. How you pass is to select one card from your hand, put it on the table face down next to the person on your right, then you pick up the card the person on your left put down. You keep doing this until 1) you get 4 of a kind or 2) someone else gets four of a kind. At this point you grab a spoon, and the person who doesn't get a spoon gets a 'pig' point. Once you get 3 pig points you are a hog. If you are a hog you have lost, but you can still be part of the game. Hogs can talk to game players, but if a game player talks to a hog they get a pig point. Of course the winner is the person left when everyone else is a hog.
Splendor is a game of chip-collecting and card development. Players are merchants of the Renaissance trying to buy gem mines, means of transportation, shops—all in order to acquire the most prestige points. If you're wealthy enough, you might even receive a visit from a noble at some point, which of course will further increase your prestige.
Pandemic Survival is an “extreme” version of Pandemic where 6 to 12 teams of 2 will face each other in an epic battle to save the world. Your goal: to be the first team to find all four cures, or to be the last team still alive at the end of the game.
In this tournament-style version of the game – that cannot be found anywhere else – all teams will face the same problems: your player cards will all be placed in the same order before the game; the infected cities are the same for everyone; the Epidemics strike at the same time for all teams; every team has the same role cards. The only difference is the decisions you will make!
The winning team will receive prizes supplied by Asmodee NA as well as an invitation to Pandemic Survival Nationals at Gencon.

With the recent unification of the Seven Stars by Tenrai the Conqueror a new martial corps was established by the warlord with the intent of guarding the newly formed nation from foreign incursion and the internal threat of demonic cults. This organization, The Celestial Guard, takes any and all who wish to defend the Seven Stars from these threats in their near constant struggle against those who would see the fledgling kingdom collapse.

Something has gone wrong at the Hartly Manor. The once bright and lush estate now lies under a strange fog. Plants wither, water befouled, and no one save a single servant has returned from the grounds.

It's the big, Wings of Glory WW1 game we have seen before at MidSouth Con. 10-14 players enter the whirling dogfights to see who can become Ace of Aces. Players can bring their own planes, but we will have plenty to use. NO experience is necessary, nor do folks have to stay for the whole session. Come ready for fun.
Repeating from above, you don't have to commit to the whole session, and it's normal for pilots to come and go. Got an hour before your next game? We will have you flying in 5 minutes. Wish you could play one more game for the night? Come see us late. The sides will constantly change, grow, shrink, whatever. WE MAY have a sneak peak at "Tripods and Triplanes," the War of the Worlds-inspired new game coming from Ares.
You pull from a regular deck of cards 4 of a kind for each person playing. Shuffle those all together and deal them out so each person has 4 cards. They can't look at them until the game starts though. Place spoons on the table (enough for all except one player). Position them fairly, so each person pretty much has the same chance to grab one. You have one person (this job rotates hand to hand) start calling out 'pass'. How you pass is to select one card from your hand, put it on the table face down next to the person on your right, then you pick up the card the person on your left put down. You keep doing this until 1) you get 4 of a kind or 2) someone else gets four of a kind. At this point you grab a spoon, and the person who doesn't get a spoon gets a 'pig' point. Once you get 3 pig points you are a hog. If you are a hog you have lost, but you can still be part of the game. Hogs can talk to game players, but if a game player talks to a hog they get a pig point. Of course the winner is the person left when everyone else is a hog.
In this quick-playing, push-your-luck dice game, you attempt to create the tallest stack of dice in order to gain the highest score per turn. To play, roll three dice and add two of them to an ever-climbing stack of dice. You can choose to stop rolling and score your stacked dice at any time, but pushing your luck will net you more points if you succeed. Continue as long as you dare – but like the stone cutter of legend, who was never satisfied, you may find yourself with naught, right back where you began. The wise will distinguish ambition from reaching beyond one's means.
In Two Rooms and a Boom – a social deduction/hidden role party game for six or more players – there are two teams: the Red Team and the Blue Team. The Blue Team has a President. The Red Team has a Bomber. Players are equally distributed between two rooms (i.e., separate playing areas). The game consists of five timed rounds. At the end of each round, some players will be swapped into opposing rooms. If the Red Team's Bomber is in the same room as the President at the end of the game, then the Red Team wins; otherwise the Blue Team wins. Lying encouraged.
Brent Beck's Skull King is a trick-taking game similar to Oh Hell!, Wizard and Spades, with players needing to state how many tricks they think they'll win each round.

Splendor is a game of chip-collecting and card development. Players are merchants of the Renaissance trying to buy gem mines, means of transportation, shops—all in order to acquire the most prestige points. If you're wealthy enough, you might even receive a visit from a noble at some point, which of course will further increase your prestige.

A group of well-dressed criminals arrive at a warehouse to rendezvous after pulling off an extraordinary crime. They know each other only by their pseudonyms - Mister Black, Mister Red, Mister Green, Mister Purple, Mister Beige, Mister Silver, Mister Grey.
The plan is simply to sit tight until midnight when someone will arrive to ferry them - and the loot - across the bay to make a final delivery to the boss. Sounds easy, right?
Almost all Pathfinders undergo extensive training for three or more years to learn the tricks of the trade, and their last test before graduating from the ranks of the initiates to the status of a full Pathfinder agent is the Confirmation, a special research project that involves considerable fieldwork and is designed to simulate the initiates' future work as a Pathfinder. Even the noteworthy field commissioned agents sometimes participate in such trials as a way to familiarize themselves with the Pathfinder Society's rules and expectations. Although Confirmation is typically an individual affair, the society recently discovered a site on the Isle of Kortos that would be perfect for initiates but perhaps too dangerous to handle alone. Successfully uncovering this site's secrets will not only contribute to the society's body of knowledge but shape the exciting careers ahead for each of the prospective agents.
A Pathfinder Society Special designed for 6th-level pregenerated characters.
Even the limitless Plane of Air is at risk of eldritch instability, and a cult dedicated to the plane's integrity has sensed an imminent calamity brewing deep within a primal storm.

When the necromancer-king Tar-Baphon rose as a lich and threatened to conquer all of Avistan, Taldor rallied its neighbors and led the Shining Crusade, a glorious campaign that defeated the Whispering Tyrant's armies and sealed him away. For the better part of a millennium, Lastwall has guarded Tar-Baphon's prison and fended off the orc tribes to the north, rarely sparing a second thought to the rich archaeological secrets that lie just below the soil. A local venture-captain has found a lost chapter to the Tome of Righteous Repose, which chronicles the demise of countless heroes of the Shining Crusade. At long last, this has earned the Society Lastwall's blessing to uncover these lost sites, lay to rest the fallen crusaders, and repatriate the family heirlooms they carried to battle.
"From the Tome of Righteous Repose" is an evergreen, replayable scenario designed to provide a flexible adventure that confronts the PCs with a variety of threats more common to higher-level characters—all while uncovering the history of one of Avistan’s greatest conflicts. Depending on which lead the PCs take, they might explore the proud crusader nation of Lastwall, travel into the gloom-shrouded mountains of Ustalav, or risk an expedition into the orc-ruled wastes of Belkzen in pursuit of lost history.

The time has come to strike down the vile Korholm Agenda, the faction of the Aspis Consortium that launched a staggering attack against the Pathfinder Society a year ago. The Agenda's leader has allied himself with one of the most powerful men in Thuvia, and together they are on the cusp of pitching the entire region into a brutal war of conquest and greed. The Pathfinder Society has placed its trust in the PCs to stop this internecine conflict. To do so, they must confront the Korholm Agenda's leader in his own domain.
To most, Mount Shibotai's devastating eruption was a footnote in Tian history. To the shadow-bound wayangs who settled the jagged crater in Minata, the volcano was the reason they inhabited Golarion at all. In their de facto capitol Inahiyi, the wayangs host an annual festival to commemorate the catastrophe that brought them into this world and forced them to ally with their neighbors against a common threat. On especially auspicious anniversaries, the wayangs invite foreigners to contribute to the ceremony, and the Pathfinder Society has negotiated the privilege of having its agents observe the sacred ceremonies as these outside participants. This is no mere anthropological opportunity, though, and the PCs may be all that stands between their world and an unspeakable evil.
The only shadowrunners who don't ask the above question are ones who have been dead so long that no one remembers their name. Which, for most runners, means two months. The point being, any runner knows that a job that can be described in a simple, straightforward sentence at the beginning of the day is going to become a tumbled, tangled mess by the end of the day, the simple sentence exploding into a story that you'll tell over a few drinks some night - unless the story got messy enough that you joined those forgotten shadowrunners in some shallow grave.
The simple sentence at the beginning of this job is this: "Retrieve a stolen cyberdeck prototype." Sounds easy enough, but add "in Chicago's Containment Zone" to the end of the sentence, and already the complications have begun to mount. And they'll continue - by the time the runners are done, they'll see double-crosses, deceits, lies, and betrayals speeding past them, and they'll have to do their best to figure out what's really going on before they get overwhelmed and overran.
The Angel of the Gate has been kidnapped on the eve of the Parting of the Veil. If she is not rescued in time, the barrier between life and death will shatter and the world descend into chaos.

With peg-leg in hand, the Elders task you to retrieve the Scepter of Fortunate Weal. Where could the scepter possibly be? In the Lost Temple, of course.
Throughout history there have been certain events and innovations that irrevocably altered the course of human development: the taming of fire, cultivation, animal husbandry, the wheel, the printed word, splitting the atom, sliced bread. Sorcerer Character Has Warrior Adventure is not one of these things; it's just a game that uses funny dice.
Something wicked and monstrous stirs around the rugged Isgeri town of Saringallow, where the hated legacy of noble Chelish diabolists runs deep. With the recent disappearance of several apprentices, the nearby menace of particularly grotesque goblins, and the unsettling rumors about the old Sarini Estate, Mayor Sandra Trinelli knows that she needs help, and she needs it fast! The heroes must confront one of these crises, or all three, if they hope to stem the tide of darkness that looms. Before too long, the heroes discover that villains with ties to the Abyss have set their sights on Saringallow, and won't rest until the settlement and all its innocent inhabitants fall victim to their madness-inducing predations!
Academy Games has just shipped "1754 Invasion," their game using the 1812/1775 engine but set in the French and Indian War. We will have one.

After defeating Delaborde at Roliça on 17th August 1808, Wellesley's next concern was to protect the landing of reinforcements at the mouth of the Maceira river, west of Vimeiro. Junot, having left Lisbon on the night of the 15th, drew together the divisions of Delaborde and Loison at Torres Vedras and, on the night of the 20th, marched to the attack.
Dimension is a fast-paced, innovative puzzle game that takes place in three dimensions with 60 colorful spheres. All of the players play at the same time. Everybody tries to position the spheres on their trays to earn as many points as possible. The task cards indicate how the spheres must be placed to earn points. Complete these tasks while racing against the timer. You get a point for each sphere you use and a bonus token for using all five colors, but you lose two points for each task card you don’t follow correctly. Prove to your opponents that you are the master of multi-dimensional thinking! The winner of this tournament will get a trophy, a copy of the game, plus a seat at the final round of the Southeast Regional Championship at Atlanta Game Fest in May (as well as a free badge to Atlanta Game Fest)!

The Aspis Consortium pays well, but few can stand its underhanded tactics for long. One operative fed up with the Consortium's practices has contacted the Pathfinder Society with a tempting offer: assist her in leaving the organization, and she will supply the Society with years of insider intelligence about their longstanding rival. It's up to the PCs to navigate Diobel - a proud town run by cutthroat smugglers - earn the defector's trust, and deal a telling blow to their Aspis foes.
"The Consortium Compact" is an evergreen, replayable scenario designed to help introduce players to the Pathfinder Society, the Isle of Kortos, and one of the Society's longstanding rivals.
This is a play test of the Pools of Radiance system, not an adventure. The mechanics will be explained then the players create characters and be put through various scenarios to test those mechanics. Pools of Radiance uses the standard rpg dice from d4 to d12. It is possible to play with a single set, but at five are recommended to speed up play.
As this is a play test, no one is expected to know the rules, but a basic knowledge of tabletop pen-and-paper rpg mechanics beyond just D&D or Pathfinder is.

If you want the true Chicago experience, it's here waiting for you. What ingredients does it contain?
