Last July's octaNe adventure War Zeppelin of the Iron Man was insanely fun. I knew I had to run octaNe again at some point, and that time is now.

This Saturday at Emerald City Gamefest I'll be running a foray into Hong Kong b-movie style madness called Shadows of Lo Pan: Big Trouble in the International District from 10am to 2pm. I'll have room for six people at the table; pre-generated characters will be on hand as well as lucky envelopes containing clues, red herrings, and game-altering revelations.

There will be stiff competition for my game, though: other folks will be running adventures during the same time slot, including We Be Goblins! for Pathfinder RPG. (Complete schedule here.) There's also a gamer garage sale offering all sorts of cool games at affordable prices.

A neat how-to article on building a starfighter from pens, binder clips and whatnot.

"He patrols the city looking to right injustices and protect innocents.
Goldscale recognizes no boundaries and goes where he is needed most. ...Crime lords should stay wary, Goldscale is a one-kobold crusade looking to improve the lot of the common citizen."
