Role Playing Games

Slot 1; 6:30pm – 10:00pm Friday

RPG 101:
GM Name: Justin Bromberg
Game Name: Paranoia LARP
Game Type: Live Action Role Play
Game System: Paranoia
Minimum & Maximum Number of Players: 10-30
Player Skill Level: No Experience
Pregenerated Characters: Yes
Game Description:
Until today you were just another Clearance INFRARED worker, working a low-pay job for one of The Computer's service firms. For a hundred credits a month you did light drudgework in a food vat, bot maintenance facility, reactor control room or clone tank.

The work was dull. Meals consisted of microwaved Hot Fun pouchmeals, extruded ropes of Cold Fun and a bag of algae flakes, washed down with CoffeeLike, TeaSir or the occasional Bouncy Bubble Beverage. You slept in a different bunk each night in the communal barracks. It was loud as a boiler room. It smelled like turpentine. You got skin rashes and ringworm. Still, you drifted along blissfully in a haze of free HappiTime medication.

Then you reported another INFRARED's treasonous behavior to your friend The Computer. In recognition of you service, The Computer promoted you to RED Clearance, awarded you 1,00 credits and you r own quarters, authorized a reduction in sedation, and granted a token treasure from the high-clearance hydroponic gardens: an apple. A real apple.

Eating that apple - the first time you'd ever tasted actual food! - you realized people at higher clearances eat like this all the time.

Thinking clear thoughts- the first time you'd done that, too - you burned with a new desire: to live better than you have. To get ahead.

The game follows the trials and tribulations of a group of henchman who are watching their very humanity dwindle away as they serve the needs of their horrible master.

Will you become inhuman monsters yourself? Or will you find that last scrap of humanity and decency that leads you to overthrow your master and try and re-associate yourself back into society.

Game Type: Role Playing Game
Game System: Fate system
Minimum & Maximum Number of Players: 2-4
Player Skill Level: No Experience
Pregenerated Characters: Yes
Game Description:
The storm was the worst you'd ever been through. It waves easily tossed the prison ship across the water and you'd come close to capsizing several time and it seemed certain that the ship would soon go down and take all of you with it. But surely this was a kinder fate than what awaited you on the mainland. A life sentence was no laughing matter, even for someone like you. But, you didn't die in the storm, you woke with your face in damp sand and the sun beating down on you back. You're stranded, you and the other prisoners. Can you work together to make your escape? Or will suspicion and paranoia seal your fates?

RPG 104:
GM Name: Christopher Raslan
Game Name: Fight the Elves
Game Type: Role Playing Game
Game System: D&D 3.5
Minimum & Maximum Number of Players: 3-8
Player Skill Level: No Experience
Pregenerated Characters: Yes
Game Description:
The elves have been gaining power, ever since they recovered the Crown of Ultimate Authority. The High Sorceress who leads them has been empowered by it, and has lead them in taking over the world.

Elves rule over human cities as 'advisers', dwarves are forced to live on the surface and can't mine as a result of elven laws. And the orcs and goblinoids are being wiped out, and 'evil' and 'ugliness' are being scourged "For the Greater Good".

This is where you step in. Perhaps you’re a surviving goblin, on the run from the Cleansers. Or are you a dwarf, unable to bear elven law and longing for a return to the mountain? Maybe you’re a human who wants to determine your own path in life without some elf telling you what to do, or a follower of a proscribed faith, seeking to worship without persecution.

IF so, then now is your chance! For a resistance has formed, ready to strike at the god-queen of the elves and return things to the way they were. Because, the "Greater Good" isn't good enough for you.

Instead, you joined the Grey Ranks – you’re part of a crew of boys and girls specializing in sabotage and harassment.

It’s all pranks and capers now, but the general uprising is only days away. Then you’ll be ammo carriers, couriers, and stretcher bearers. And when the uprising goes terribly wrong, you’ll be sewer guides, soldiers, executioners, and martyrs. You’ll grow up fast. Maybe you won’t grow up at all.

Grey Ranks is a role-playing game for three to five players that puts you in the shoes of child soldiers during the Warsaw Uprising.

As the game progresses, success becomes increasingly difficult and you'll be faced with difficult choices. Is achieving a goal worth destroying the thing your character holds dear? How will reputations change over time as youngsters have adulthood thrust upon them?
