Hawkmoon at Furnace

[Wolverine]

I'm planning to run a short Hawkmoon scenario at this years Furnace gaming convention. Furnace is being held at the Garrison Hotel in Sheffield, from Saturday 20th to Sunday 21st of October. Details can be found on the Cons website.

A Ghost of a Silhouette
A Hawkmoon Adventure for four players
It is the day of Duke Vittorio's annual ball, and all notable citizens of Venezia are in attendance. Word on the street is that a delegation from Granbretan has arrived in the city, with the intention of offering the Duke the hand of friendship. Duke Vittorio has invited the delegates to the ball, with the intention of presenting a Mask of Crystal to the Dark Empire's emissary, as a token of friendship. Is the Duke really going to accept the hand of Dark Empire? And whats more, who is the strange Osterland Prince who has the Duke's ear, and the Prince's mysterious companion who simple refers to herself as The Marquesa? Receive your invitation, and be prepared for the Duke's Masquerade Ball!

As we reflect on how brilliant the coming summer will be this year, I thought it was timely to remind you to take a look at Furnace, tabletop roleplaying game convention set in a converted gaol house amongst the hills of Sheffield. It is almost very castle like.
We're running the convention over the weekend of October 20th/21st 2007.

Many familiar tentacles will be there and some new tendrils too. Our game line up so far includes:

Can I request after you run the adventure could you please share it with the rest of us?

 

[Wolverine]

I will certainly take time out to write it up, and maybe submit it to Signs and Portents. I might get chance to run it again, at another Gaming Con first. So I'll get you posted.

[steffworthington]

if one of the organisers of Furnace could get in touch with me I'd be grateful. Been trying to log in to their forum for days and can't . I want to run an adventure from my upcoming Cthulhu Monograph, Cthulhu Adventus (http://cthulhuadventus.blogspot.com) for 7 players but i can't if I can't book a table.
I ran it at UK GAMES EXPO and the players loved it.

Hi Steff,
I think Newt has been in touch with you already but this game looks fantastic!
Just the type of game we like at Furnace.

I also love your maps!

 

[steffworthington]

Cheers!

 

[Newtus]

Indeed I have Me and Steff have spent the morning discussing it over email. There may be dataprojection of said maps onto the wall of The Cell

(muhhahahaahaahaaa!!)

My Furnace photos are now up.

One or two are just a little bit blurry as I did catch some of the action at the tables.
Plus I didn't want to distract or alarm people with the flash going off. 8)

I know Chris is looking for some EC stuff for S&P, so it would certainly be worth a shot to contact him about this.

The scenario went better than I expected, and I got a lot of positive feedback. Once I've play-tested it with my Friday night gaming group, and written up, I will defiantly submit it for S&P.
