(I've never seen him GM, but if his playing is any indication, he'll do a very good job.) Poster transcription: Intercon 11.5 Diner Clarion Hotel - Mount Laurel, New Jersey Entrees: Way Cool Surfer Pantheon I Was A Teenage Mutant From Outer Space Dishonor After Death? Kabbanzharr: Trials of the Underdark Intercon 11.5 is a convention of the Interactive Literature Foundation (ILF), an organization that promotes live role playing to the public as a form of art, education, and entertainment. This Columbus Day weekend, join us at Intercon 11.5 for a series of Interactive Literature and IL-related events, featuring the talents of Game Masters from across the United States, including Eric Benoit, Ken Brown, John Corrado, Jonathan Drummey, Jim Edwards-Hewitt, Terilee Edwards-Hewitt, H MacKiernan, Michael McAfee, Gordon Olmstead-Dean, and Tom Tignor. Intercon 11.5 PO Box 196 Merrifield, VA 22116-0196 Voice Mail: 703.912.9877 email: SJO.APA@EMAIL.APA.ORG October 11-14, 1996 *Pantheon Sunday 10am-10pm The last Aeon has come to a close. The Elder Gods are dead, slain in the wars spawned by their parents, the Four Fathers. The Fathers have now resumed their slumber leaving most of their children's works strewn about the cosmos --shattered, ruined. All is quiet. Now, the orphaned children of the Elder Gods Awaken to find themselves inheritors of a shattered and derelict cosmos. With no one to guide them but the four Monitors -- Time, Fate, Chance and Death -- and nothing but their own wits and guile to protect them, they must carve out their spheres in the cosmos and Ascend to the Pantheon. Pantheon is a game of Godlike Roleplaying set in a mythic cosmos. Become one of the Children of the Elder Gods and strive to define your role in the Pantheon of the New Aeon while avoiding disaster. Novice players as well as LARP veterans will find much to engage them. Though primarily a LARP, Pantheon also uses an integral strategic board-game component. *Dishonor After Death? Friday, Saturday and Sunday 9pm-9am Two Princes meet final death at almost the same exact time. How can this be? This is UNHEARD of. Both of them were tied down in the middle of fields just before dawn and were caught by the sun's rays, but WHY? HOW? and more importantly...WHO??? This is a Vampire the Masquerade event presented by Eric Benoit, a WhiteWolf Demonstration Team Member. Familiarity with the Masquerade system is useful but not required. *I Was A Teenage Mutant from Outer Space Saturday 10am-2am Take all of the great 50's B-movies like "I Was A Teenage Werewolf," "It Came From Above," "Assault on Party Beach," and even worse fare, and place in a blender. Puree for 15 minutes. Pour the mixture (colloquially known as "schlock") into a bowl. Add large sprinkles of angst, romance and actual horror. Bake in the feverish mind of John Corrado for 4 months, and then place in small bowls. Serves up to 36. *Kabbanzharr: Trials of the Underdark Saturday 10am-10pm The Underdark. The bowls of the earth. The silent void below the deepest dwarven mines. A world of wonders and horrors locked away beneath miles of soil and stone. This is the realm of the Drow, silent and ruthless in sword and spell. It is the realm of the Illithid, alien masters of psionic powers. It is the realm of the Blood Orcs, brutal, unyielding, living to fight and to conquer. In the Underdark, cunning and violence are the order of the day. Compassion is little known, less so mercy. But for those with the strength and the will, there are rewards of knowledge, beauty, wealth and power beyond any to be found in the sunlight. For twelve hours, take a character fitting to the fantasy genre, with personal connections and knowledge to fall back on, as well as talents in arms, magic and psionics. Share common goals (if not common friendship) or work alone, manipulating events from afar, or from the shadows. Can you survive until the end? Join us and see! *Way Cool Surfer Sunday 10am-6pm Hey, dudes and dudettes! It's time to hit the surf! The annual surfing contest at Ryanville Beach approaches. Get to the beach for a day of surf, sand, and strange surprises, as Wyrd Enterprises presents...Way Cool Surfer, a present-day Interactive Literature event inspired by those nutty teen flix of yesteryear. Fun for the whole family! Even if youi don't play, there'll be music to dance to. The game will go for eight hours, with plenty of chances to surf, dance, lift weights, or just lie back and soak up some rays. Don't blow your cool; play Way Cool Surfer!
