10.30 This years freeform  [[Coombe Hill]] by [[Andrew Oakley]]. It is in a sense a sequel to [[Mop Fair]] which ran in 2014 and is ''Ars Magica'' based. A freeform is a game played walking about the venue, in costume (ask if you want to borrow something, and don't feel you have to dress up if impossible for travel reasons!) It's a sort of non-combat larp, and I think most people enjoy it even if this is REALLY NOT your thing. It is assumed everyone will play, but if you aren't, just drop [[CJ]] a line to let me know

[[Blood on the Snow]] for ''Ars Magica'' by [[Andrew Oakley]]

Pregens available. Suitable for new or experienced players. 1220AD: Over the last few weeks, one of the young novices at St Ninian’s has fallen extremely ill. None of the efforts of the nuns to heal her have succeeded, and they suspect a supernatural cause. One of the nuns, a mystic, had a vision of blood pooling in the snow, and saw St Ninian tell her to call upon “the scholars of strange Arts”. She told of this vision to the abbess, who reached out to an old friend (the scholar Agnes, see Pregenerated Characters), now working in the library of a nearby covenant.

Innsworth is a small English town just a few more from the tidal waters of the Severn Estuary. Yet those more can prove quiet a barrier when you are a party of Deep Ones sent by dream commands of Great Cthulhu to bring one of your own, the young man Daniel Marsh, home to the city under the sea. Dan is just experiencing the change, and he may need explanations as to what is going on, and convincing to join you. Play a group of five Deep Ones (to say nothing of the shoggoth!) tasked with discretely rescuing the lad. What could possibly go wrong?

* [[Des temps turbulents]] ''Ars Magica'' adventure run by [[Karl]].
 +
The year is 1297. You’ve overheard the grown-ups talking about massive changes to the social structure. Realpolitik is no longer what it used to be in Good Old France. That doesn’t really tell you anything. After all, you are only 8 years old. But young minds can ponder too. Maybe there is a connection to those deadly brass soldiers who travel about in the fiefdom? They are probably looking for anything that smells of magic and the supernatural. Presumably they were the ones who got rid of Old-Genette-in-the-Forest. She was the one all the adults went to whenever anything serious was bothering them, and then denying her very existence afterwards. (Adults are weird).

* [["The Chosen"]] Unknown Armies 3rd Ed. 3-6 players. Set, July 2117, UK. Once they were cosplayers, acquaintances more than friends. About 18 months ago they were doing a cheesy Buffy the Vampire cosplay as an ironic joke at a cosplay event. Something happened. Now they are obsessed by cos playing Buffy, and only Buffy. "Giles" believes (from doing a divination ritual) that if they can get to an International Buffy the Vampire slayer convention, happening in June 2018 on Honolulu they can find answers to what happened. But anyway it would be great to be there, Joss Whedon is a special guest and he has an exciting announcement for all fans of the show.

* [[The Strange Case of Georgina Blenkinsop]] by [[CJ]] 1827; the Season is at its height and the six Blenkinsop daughters have left their remote Norfolk rectory to take the waters in fashionable Cheltenham Spa. With Papa in India, and mama indisposed it has all become Utterly Horrid. Sister Georgina has to begun to act very oddly, and the Blenkinsop girls must use all their gentle good breeding and find a way to avert a terrible scandal. Designed to be played straight faced, this is a (very) black comedy of manners inspired by Jane Austen and the Brontes.

This is the point at which the charity raffle occurs: sadly we haven't got as much from Atlas Games this year because of higher international postage rates, so if delegates can bring something - food, delicacies, second hand rpg stuff, interesting pebbles etc that is very welcome - to add to the raffle that is great, but by no means compulsory. CJ is putting in a still shrink wrapped copy of the Grand Tribunal boardgame and there will be some unique goodies.

However, not every creature can be obtained with as simple a task as a hunt, and the Player-knights have opportunities too to persuade the great and the good of the land to lend them their aid and their beasts.

"Something" has been unearthed on Mars. A secret so powerful it threatens to tear The Federation apart with  infighting, with the victor gaining the ability to grind the galaxy under their heel. (Probably the spiked, white, leather heel of Supreme Commander Servelan.) What's needed is a brave, mad (suicidal) dash into Earth system - with its defence systems and fleets of Federation pursuit ships - to seize or destroy the enigmatic discovery from under the noses of the various Federation factions before it can foment a conflict that would envelop and kill millions of innocents.

Sure, it wasn’t exactly legal or risk-free, but it wasn’t supposed to get you killed. The world is now a much more confusing and frightening place. Your memories of the last few days are a mess. There is something really urgent you need to do, but no one seems to know exactly what it is. You’re not sure if you can trust your friends: some of them may be planning to kill you. Hell, for all you know, one of them already has. And your problems are only just beginning.
