In 2003, the headquarters of the Watchers' Council was destroyed by the minions of the First Evil. That same year, the Sunnydale Hellmouth was shattered, as Willow Rosenberg cast a spell to activate every potential Slayer on Earth.

In 2005, Watcher Claudia Wyndam, her Slayer, Kimiko Yamada, and a small group of allies started the Wyndam Academy, a school designed to train the new generation of Slayers and Watchers. Today, the Academy is thriving, as a new generation of warriors hones their unique powers in the fight against the forces of darkness.

If the forces of darkness have their way, though, they won't survive to graduate....

I am looking for players for a limited-run (from September until December 2009) Buffy the Vampire Slayer game (using the Eden Studios rules) running during the evening session (from approximately 6 to 9 PM) of UB-SaRPA Open Gaming on the first and third Saturdays of each month. The game takes place after Season 7 of the TV show (so multiple Slayer PCs are possible).

No previous experience with the game system is necessary; the rules will be taught. Beginners are welcome!

Interested? E-mail thegamemistress AT gmail DOT com for more information.

The savage Titans have escaped their prison to wage war on the Gods once more. Their battles in the Overworld have spilled over to ours. Armed with abilities and weapons granted by their divine parents, the Scions stand as humanity's only defense.

My husband and I are looking for players for a Scion: Hero game running at the first session of UB-SaRPA Open Gaming (from approximately 2 to 5 PM) on the first and third Saturdays of each month, starting on September 19, 2009. No previous experience with the game system is necessary; the rules will be taught. Beginners are welcome!

...for the next UBCon.

Bring back Jess Hartley!

Everyone need more Jess in their livers... err... lives.

Please.

Please?

Did something happen to the SARPA Listserv? I put a game advertisement up on it earlier this week, and it still hasn't shown up.

I am looking for a few more players for a "CJ Carella's WitchCraft" game (rules available as a *free* PDF at http://www.edenstudios.net/witchcraft/WitchcraftCorebook.zip) set in a fantasy analog of Elizabethan England (more information about the game world can be found at albion_knights). The characters will be members of the Knights of Albion, a group dedicated to protecting the kingdom from threats both magical and mundane.

No previous experience with the game system is necessary; the rules will be taught. Newbies are welcome!

The character creation discussion will be on Saturday, May 16 at approximately 2 PM at Open Gaming; the first game session will be May 30 (at approximately the same time).

Interested parties can e-mail thegamemistress AT gmail DOT com for more information.

UBCon XXI is April 9-11th 2010, and we are looking into new ways to keep people informed of whats going on with con this year.

While SARPA has had many names on facebook, with the changing of officers so many times, the former officers who once knew many of the passwords have forgotten them. Therefore, ubcon_planning has been created as one of two central pages for those interested in helping us plan con. We will also be using the UBCon Planning facebook group(type in "UBCon Planning" to facebook's search)

These sites will contain the same information, however, different people frequent the different social networking sites, so we will get a broader audience this way.

The first meeting date is Wednesday May 6th, 2009 at 7:30pm and will be continuing weekly until con.

Just some notes for games I've got in my head... Don't know if I'll do all or any of them, but I figured work while the ol' neurons are firing.


Changeling the Dreaming -"We Have Met the Enemy..."
Set just prior to the Accordance War, Royalists and Commoners must try to come to terms with how to deal with the returning Sidhe. The fictional town of Haverton, Mass. will either be the stage for the opening of hostilities or the beginnings of peace. For anyone who thought that Changeling the Dreaming was nothing but silliness and fluff, this game will prove them wrong. Grim.

Changeling the Lost - "Light Intentions" (tentative title)
A continuation of Tin Can Jack, Madame Pages, Alleyman and the rest. Set in an alternative setting where modern day Buffalo is a metropolis that rivals NYC and London. Mysterious lights have been seen about in the forests and parks of Western NY. Is it some devious activity on the part of the True Fae? Perhaps a Goblin Market is setting up shop in this world? Has there been a population explosion among the local fireflies? Or is something even stranger going on?? Serious.

Dark Ages Fae - "A Rued Awakening"
The Fae have been asleep for a long time, the ancient Pledges forgotten by mortals. Then, an ancient call in a new voice awakens you. This new world seems to have no place for you, and things as you knew them have changed in oh so many ways. But there are enough things that remain the same that perhaps you can still carve out a new niche for yourselves. (Hint: The game will be set after 1400 AD, but not in modern day.) Serious.

All Flesh Must Be Eaten - "Hobson's Folly"
Set in the world of Max Brook's World War Z. Rumors of a vaccine, too incredible to be believed, are growing. Desperate to stop the rumors but low on resources, DeStRes gathers a group of volunteers to deal with the matter. Of course, there will be the usual obstacles of finding the source of the rumor, verifying the truth of the matter, bringing any miscreants to justice... oh, yeah, and a couple million blood-thirsty zombies. Grim.

Fairy Meat (RPG) - "All Flesh Must Be Sweetened" or "28 Fays Later"
A homebrew RPG version of Kenzerco's miniature game. Tiny, cute little fairies go hopping through woodlands... eating each other. And now there are tales of how to make fairy flesh taste even sweeter! The players must find out what it is before other fairies get it... and before they eat each other. (Gory, but Silly.)

Inspired by the UBCon XX Conbook....

How can a GM get info on how many people are pre registered for their game? Because I am canceling my game if no one has registered for it.

Pre-Registration is now open.

Hey... is preregistration really closed?? If it's not been opened yet, could it be? Cause, you know... the 17th.

C'mon guys.

Any news about UBCon 20? This group and the webpage have been quiet....

What games would you want to play at UBCon 09

Cross-posted to my LJ page.

Silly question, and, yes, I know it's more than half a year away yet, but...

Any word as far as dates/theme for UB Con 2009? And is there going to be an actual mini-Con this fall? Inquiring minds (that can't go to the regular meetings) want to know!
