What are you planning to run at the 2022 Open House?

Unread post by Mr. Jays »

I originally posted this for 2021, but I will ask again for this year. Anyone that hasn't submitted yet, needs to do so pronto.

Here's what I will be running:

1. "Back to Basics (Coalition Edition)" - Rifts. We're going to Rift like it's 1990. In honor of Rifts 30th anniversary, this adventure uses only material from the original Rifts Main Book. After an attack by monsters on a city in the outskirts of Lone Star, a task force (you) is sent to punish the town harboring these fiends. Unfortunately for you this mission might be more than you bargained for.

2. "Back to Basics (Non-Coalition Edition)" - Rifts. We're going to Rift like it's 1990. In honor of Rifts 30th anniversary, this adventure only uses material from the original Rifts Main Book. Your group is asked by an aged cyber-knight to escort a group of refugees whose town was recently attacked. Little does the group know that this simple mission will entangle them in the affairs of the Coalition, the Pecos Empire, and creatures from the Rifts.

3. "Legacy of the Dust" - Beyond the Supernatural. A sequel to "All Quiet on the Western...What?" Over twenty years have passed since the events that occurred in No-Man's-Land. Their sone have now been called to fight against Germany again. It is 1945, your mission is to liberate a group of Jews being held somewhere in this western German city before they are marched deeper into Nazi territory. But, Nazis may not be the only danger waiting for them there.

4. "Animal Crackers" - Heroes Unlimited. You have all gathered together in Zanesville, OH for the wedding of a mutual friend. After the ceremony, the reception is interrupted by the roar of a lion. What is a lion doing on the streets of Zanesville? The players will have to find out.

If you have any questions or comments, feel free to ask

Submitted mine today! It's on! :D

"Keep Calm and Carry on Fighting the Nightlords"
Palladium Game Line: Nightbane
Brief Description: The year is 1944, and the Second World War continues to dominate world events. You are members of the secret Nightbane organisation known as The Underground Railroad, on a mission to retrieve a powerful artefact that may be the key to defeating the Nightbanes’ age-old enemies – the Nightlords. However, the artefact is deep in Nazi-occupied France. The only way to get to it is to enter the country as part of Operation: Overlord – the “D-Day landings” …

"Pyramid Raiders – Quest for the Skull of Osiris"
Palladium Game Line: Palladium Fantasy
Brief Description: On the Nisi Peninsula in the Timiro Kingdom stands a huge stone pyramid; a holy site dedicated to the sundered god Osiris. Recently, the area has become a hive of activity due to a growing rumour that the pyramid contains one of the sacred pieces of the dead god – the Skull of Osiris itself! This has attracted a myriad of treasure hunters, ne’er-do-wells and opportunists. In particular, three teams are at the forefront of the treasure hunt: the forces of darkness, the forces of light, and those in between. Who will be the one to reach the treasure within? The race is on!

"Victoria’s Secret"
Palladium Game Line: Beyond the Supernatural
Brief Description: It is 1880 and Her Majesty Queen Victoria is due to make one of her frequent visits to her favourite holiday retreat: Osborne House on the Isle of Wight. Unfortunately, there has been a recent spate of unexplained disappearances among the domestic servants and local villagers. Former Prime Minister William Gladstone fears for his Queen’s safety, but his attempts to warn Her Majesty through the proper channels have gone unheeded, so he has gathered a group of “alternative investigators” of his own. You have all been invited to join the royal party as Gladstone’s guests at a dinner engagement at Osborne House, after which you will be free to investigate the matter at hand and to thwart any possible danger to our noble empress!

Both of my games are with the same pregen group known as the Paragons. They're larger than life heroes in palladium fantasy (in a pseudo-alternative timeline) Its meant to be a bit more high octane and high fantasy, The sort of world where you might deal with enormous polar bears made of ice, or steampunk robots, or giant summoned beasts.

They're mostly lighthearted adventures, that also use the Megaversal Storm cards that my group is going to have for sale at cost. (We're not wanting a profit, we just want to spread the word of the idea and see if you all want it) The Megaversal Storm cards add a chaotic element to combat, and a bit of tactics too, in hopes of using this otherworldly force to help overcome dangerous foes.

The two games I'll run are

The Scars of War - A priest comes to the Paragons with a request for help, as he's been laying final blessings on sites from the elf-dwarf war, a city he's come across is showing surprising signs of life...

The Frog King's Invitation - A young woman is betrothed, but a very special guest has decided to RSVP to the event. Can the Paragons see this wedding through?

I'm running three events:

Impaled - a Rifts adventure that takes place in eastern Europe.
The Stones - a Rifts adventure with a fun plot twist. (Or at least I think it's fun. Hopefully, you will too!)
Spring Break - my first Dead Reign adventure!
