What? Oh my goodness...there goes my hair again! The Game Masters are now preparing their games. The Dealers (and we have quite a few of them this year) are packing their wares. Now, it’s your turn. Browse the book, make your event selections, and pre-register for the best PentaCon ever! Lisa Adams Chairman, PentaCon XXIV PentaCon XXIV 4 Convention Dates and Location PentaCon XXIV will run on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, 7, 8, and 9 November 2008. The convention is held at the Grand Wayne Center in downtown Fort Wayne. The address is 120 West Jefferson Boulevard, Fort Wayne, IN 46802. A Bit of Background PentaCon is sponsored by the Northeastern Indiana Gaming Association (NIGA). In 1985, five members of the NIGA, acting on their own, hosted the first PentaCon. It was a one day affair attended by approximately 250 gamers. These same five individuals (hence the “PENTA” in PentaCon) continued to host the next three conventions. In 1989, the NIGA as a group took sponsorship of PentaCon V. PentaCon has since grown to offer a wide variety of game types to meet most gaming interests. PentaCon X, in 1994, was attended by about 700 gamers and included over 100 individual games, tournaments, and other events. The continuing success of PentaCon prompted the NIGA to expand PentaCon XI to three days. PentaCon XV was the largest convention to date, with over 1100 gamers participating in 300 events, and PentaCon XVI broke the event barrier, presenting over 400 events to its attendees. PentaCon XVII, for the first time ever, turned game masters away from their preferred slots to their alternate slots in order to avoid exceeding the space available. PentaCon XX in 2004 changed its location for the first time in many years to allow for the renovation and expansion of the Grand Wayne Center. Ed Greenwood and Elminster the Sage returned to us as a PentaCon favorite in 2008, for PentaCon XXIII. This year, PentaCon XXIV promises to be more exciting than ever! The PentaCon XXIV Committee The PentaCon staff is composed entirely of volunteers. Everything you see, enjoy, and do at the convention is organized and coordinated by them. Although they grumble quite a bit about having to do their respective jobs, they really do enjoy them, and want to put on a good convention for you. If you are interested in volunteering to help with PentaCon, please let us know by email at [email protected].

You may also submit your item list in advance of the convention, to [email protected]. Brenna Adams Memorial The Brenna Adams Memorial returns for its eigth year at PentaCon. Brenna was the daughter of our convention chairman, Lisa Adams, and she passed away on July 15, 2001. In her honor and memory, the PentaCon staff decided in 2001 to start a memorial event to be held in perpetuity. Each year one event will be designated to be the Brenna Adams Memorial. This year, the event will be run by Larry Hull, and will be a variety of fun card games. See event #5108. Darkus Thel Indiana’s own premiere roleplaying game returns to PentaCon this year. If you’ve never played Darkus Thel before, give it a try! This is an audience participation game you’ll never forget. Blue Water Miniatures Blue Water Miniatures, a new miniatures manufacturer returning for the second year in a row, will premier the brand new Darkus Thel miniatures this year! Stop by their booth and take a look - the prototypes were absolutely astounding. Electronic Entertainment Expo Returning for its seventh year, the Electronic Entertainment Expo is open from 12 p.m. to 11:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday. LAN gaming and console gaming will be featured. Passes for the area are $3 per day, or $5 per weekend. Bring your Nintendo DS and WiFi capable games to share with other players! Computers and networking services graciously provided by the Anthis Career Center of the Fort Wayne Community Schools. Game Base 7 Game Base 7 returns for another year with too many events to mention here! Check out all their game offerings. Game Base 7 is a recognized, nonprofit organization whose purpose is to promote gaming by providing gamers with opportunity and promotion of gaming events nationwide. Having 7 local chapers, and 3 RPG-themed Guilds, GB7 can be seen at major and regional conventions. Its national HQ provides its locals with convention support and enhances contacts with vendors. Most Game Base 7 programs for conventions are completely member-driven, meaning that members determine which events will be run. Those choices are based on what the gaming community wants to play and what events will provide enjoyment for both players and judges alike. PentaCon XXIV 6 Game Base 7 encourages gamers to let them know if there is an event they want to see run that is not listed. If it is not possible to run your desired event this year, there is a good chance it will happen at an upcoming convention. This year, Game Base 7 presents double thematic events, 2 games in one theme = Double the Fun! Each will have a person to teach the games. M Collective The M Collective is a group of gamers promoting science fiction gaming. Most of the team has been running events at GenCon, Origins, and PentaCon for several years. They return this year with an exciting variety of sci-fi miniatures games. All games feature detailed painted miniatures with events ranging from introductory games to scenarios. The members of the M Collective are actively involved in the design and playtesting of several game systems and miniatures, and as such, some new systems and miniatures may be introduced within events. Filk Singing Returning for the second year, C.S. Marks, Indiana author, craftsperson, and filk singer, will join us this year as a dealer. In addition to running her dealer booth, she will provide filk singing as entertainment throughout the convention. What’s filk singing, you ask? Well, simply put, it’s taking a contemporary song and putting gaming or medieval type lyrics to it. The songs are generally hilarious and irreverent, so stop by when C.S. is singing and give a listen! Special Guests This year, the PentaCon staff welcomes Kelley Armstrong, noted author of the Women of the Otherworld series, as our special guest. Kelley Armstrong Kelley Armstrong is the author of the Women of the Otherworld urban fantasy series. The series started with the werewolf novel, Bitten, in 2001 and#8 came out this year, as well as the first novel in an urban fantasy trilogy for young adults. Armstrong grew up in Ontario, Canada, where she still lives with her family. A former computer programmer, she’s now escaped her corporate cubicle and hopes never to return. Her website is www.KelleyArmstrong.com. Contests Looking for a little competition where you can win fun stuff? You’ve come to the right place... Costumes The wearing of costumes of all types is encouraged - in fact, you may see the PentaCon staff in some fine ones. Of course, we’re not allowed to compete, but you are! The best costume will be determined during the evening break on Saturday and Sunday. Participants are asked to pre-register for the contest at Convention Headquarters. Judges will be announce in the On Site Guide. There will be two categories this year: Adult (age 14 and older); and Juvenile (age 13 and younger). Each category winner will receive a prize selected by the convention staff; the overall best costume each day will receive free admission to PentaCon XXV. Painted Figure Contest This year’s painted figure contest will be judged by the formidable John Goff, a master painter in his own right. John has won a multitude of awards; among the most prestigious are “Best of Show - GenCon XVI” and “Best of Show - Elwood Miniatures and More”. We have it on reliable authority that John’s ability to paint miniatures “makes them come alive”. Entry forms for the contest will be available at Convention Headquarters. No pre-registration is necessary. The following rules will apply: • Entries must be the original work of the entrant. • Entries must be placed in competition no later than 12:00 noon, Saturday. Judging will begin soon thereafter. Miniatures will remain on display until 6:30 p.m. Saturday, unless needed for a game. • Work will be graded solely on the personal preference of the judge. • The miniatures will be divided into categories. The specific categories will be determined by the convention staff based on the figures submitted. • One winner will be selected in each of the categories. No awards will be made for categories with less than three entries. Paint ‘N Take This year, PentaCon will have its third Paint ‘N Take booth! Stop by the booth (located next to Convention HQ), choose a miniature, and sit down to paint. The booth will be open during the first slot of each day of the convention. PentaCon XXIV 7 Charity Efforts Fort Wayne Inn PentaCon is very proud of its efforts to raise funds for charity. Each year, PentaCon conducts various charity events. And, each year, the participants at PentaCon prove their generosity by constantly increasing the amount of money which goes to the selected charities. This year, the selected charity is again the Three Rivers Literacy Alliance. The Downtown Hilton has graciously contracted with PentaCon this year to provide our attendees with comfortable rooms at reasonable rates. The quoted rate this year is $99 per night. The hotel is located at 1020 South Calhoun St., Fort Wayne, IN 46802 (about two blocks from the convention center). The phone number to call for reservations is 260-420-1100. Make sure you mention PentaCon to get the discounted rate. The cutoff date is October 21, 2008. Coin Drop Parking PentaCon is very well aware of the economic challenges facing the world these days, and realize that for many, money is extremely tight, but we wanted to again support our favorite charity. This year, we will be holding a coin drop. Loose change can be dropped into jars at Convention HQ for donation to the Three Rivers Literacy Alliance. A public parking garage is located across the street from the Grand Wayne Center. The garage is connected to the Center by a skywalk. This provides convenient, easy, and safe access for convention attendees. It is the recommended parking location. Parking lots for various businesses are located near the Grand Wayne Center. These lots should not be used by convention attendees. These businesses are experienced in handling conventions and will happily tow violators. Miscellaneous Events Electronic Entertainment Expo For the sixth year in a row, a room has been set aside for computer network gaming, TV gaming, and movie viewing (schedule will be in the On-Site Guide). The Expo will be open starting at 8 a.m. each day and will close at 11:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday nights, and 6:00 p.m. on Sunday night. Passes for the area are $3 per day, or $5 for the entire weekend. Bring your Nintendo DS and WiFi-enabled games and trade with your fellow players! PentaCon has partnered this year with the Anthis Career Center from the Fort Wayne Community Schools to offer this room. We are very grateful for the assistance that these students are so generously providing. Lodging & Parking Discount Lodging This year, the preferred hotel for PentaCon is the Downtown Hilton. Please note that the Downtown Hilton has a reservation cut-off date. Reservations received after the indicated date may be charged a higher rate. Be sure to make your reservations before the cut-off date to take full advantage of the discounts. Convention Regulations Passes All attendees at the convention will be issued a non-refundable convention Pass. The pass must be visibly displayed at all times while at the convention. Lost passes must be replaced at full entrance cost. General Conduct Stealing, cheating, law breaking, obscene language, or a failure to conduct oneself in a reasonably proper manner will all be grounds for immediate removal from the convention, without a refund. Alcohol Alcohol and alcoholic beverages are not permitted at the convention. Tobacco Products No smoking is permitted in the Grand Wayne Center. A designated smoking area is provided just outside the convention center. Children PentaCon warmly welcomes children under the age of 18 to the convention. However, parents are responsible for supervision of their children at all times. Neither the PentaCon staff nor the NIGA PentaCon XXIV 8 are responsible for children left unattended at the convention. A Thanks to the GM’s Before listing the games offered at the convention, the convention committee and specifically the Games Coordinator would like to take a moment to offer a special “Thank You” to all of the Game Masters. Although the committee organizes the convention, it is the efforts of the Game Masters that makes the convention a success. At PentaCon, Game Masters are only rewarded by free or discounted attendance at the convention. This does not necessarily make up for the hard work many Game Masters undertake to prepare their games. The convention committee appreciates this effort and is thankful for it. The committee also asks that all players remember to thank their Game Master after each game. Special Events & Seminars A typical seminar involves a short talk by the presenter to cover the topic. The floor will then be opened for questions from the audience. Booksigning - Kelley Armstrong From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, there will be a special booksigning of Living with the Dead, Kelley’s newest hardcover from Bantam Spectra Books, which will be released on November 1. Seminar A - Kelley Armstrong (Topic To Be Announced) Join the wildly popular author of the Women of the Otherworld series! This seminar will be held starting at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday in the seminar area in the back corner of the Main Gaming Hall. Seminar B - C.S. Marks C.S. Marks has often been described as a “Renaissance woman”. By day a Professor of Equine Science at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College, by night a fantasy author and filker, she is probably best known in fantasy and gaming circles as the author of the Elfhunter trilogy. She enjoys composing and singing silly songs (mostly with a Lord of the Rings theme), making handcrafted longbows (and shooting them), riding her assortment of horses, and promoting her three novels. Come join C.S. for a fun-filled hour of filking and discussion about how to break into the writing industry. This seminar will be at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday in the seminar area. Event Descriptions Event Descriptions The event descriptions are divided by game sessions. The following information is provided for each game: Event Number, Game Type, Skill Level, Game Title, Game Master, Knowledge (Kn), Players (Pl), and Description. Event numbers identify each event or game individually. The first digit indicates the session, and the last three numbers indicate the table number. Events 100 499 will be held in the Main Gaming Hall. Events 500 - 599 will be in Harrison A. Games which continue from one session to another are marked with the letter “C” following the event number (ex. 4101C 5101). Tournament games are marked with the letter T at the end of the event number (ex. 7136T). Any special session requirements for a game are listed in the description. Please note these instructions carefully when filling out the Pre-Registration form. The column labeled “Kn” indicates the level of knowledge expected of the players. “N”, or Novice, means the game should be easy to learn and/or the rules will be taught. “I”, or Intermediate, means the player needs to know the basics of the game. “S”, or Skilled, means the player must know the rules well. The column labeled “Pl” indicates the number of players allwed in the game. Games which have a lower number of players will obviously fill up more quickly, so be sure to list a second choice for those games. Additional events, plus open games, may be added to the event list prior to the date of the convention. Be sure to pick up an On-Site Guide at the convention. Please note that all games at the convention are offered by the respective game masters. The convention staff cannot guarantee that any given game will be presented as listed.

This game is a sequel to the module “Swans” and it is recommended that Swans be played before this game. This game has two experience tiers: Tier 1 & Tier 2. By Matthew Domville. Off the coast of La Florida, the waters have always seemed warm and inviting. Recently, however, you have learned not to trust the gentle waves, for comfort often comes immediately before betrayal. Someone thirsts for revenge, so there is little time for rest. This adventure is for Tier 1 and Tier 2. It is the annual Arklay Mountain Militia “October Call-Out”; a time for a long weekend in the low rolling Arklay Mountains of Militia exercises, camping, and fellowship. However, this year it is different. There have been a number of attacks on these mountains and the local authorities do not have the manpower or time to do a “sweep” of the area. In a rare display of trust, Raccoon City’s Police Chief has asked the Arklay Mountains Militia to sweep this area during their annual Call-Out as a “pubic service”.
