I believe in making all games count for something - so all of my games that I'm running at GaryCon will take place in and affect my ongoing Dark Ages campaign - one that I've styled after Tony Bath's Hyborea that has both online players, tabletop players and wargames happening within it. I'm really excited to be doing this! I hope returning players and new players will come enjoy my world. Here's what I submitted: ----------------------- The Peril in the Forgotten Depths (2 session - 2 unique locations) A peril grows in the forgotten depths, where men, littlelings and elves once suffered the lash of slave whips.

The coming of the Dark Ones heralds a Dark Age for all Kinsmen, but ye may yet save the day and foil the plans of the beings of Chaos who would enslave us all!
