December: FASA Star Trek: "Without a Trace"



Well, our first year is coming to a close. When we saw the announcement about a brand new Star Trek TV show in 2017 we knew we had to finish the year out big!

Game master Erik Mornes is running a thrilling adventure called WITHOUT A TRACE! He'll be using old school FASA rules, set during The Next Generation era (or at least post-Kirk and company) aboard the U.S.S Excalibur, an Ambassador Class Federation starship. You might recognize it as the same class as the Enterprise C, highlighted in a few episodes of TNG.

MISSION DETAILS:
It started out as just a friendly conversation--until suddenly there was no one left to talk to! The crew of Deep Space 39 has disappeared. You and your crew, the U.S.S. Excalibur, must find out why--before they too are among the vanished.

November SNSO: Mysteries and the power of the MIND!



Want a taste of what's in store for Con of the North? Join us for a special preview of an original mystery adventure by gamemaster Jenifer Doll called AMONG STARS AND WOULD-BE GODS! This one-shot scenario uses the story-oriented Cypher system from Monte Cook Games (the same rules as Numenera and The Strange).

MISSION DETAIL:
You’ve never seen the world outside the walls of the Project Psion Research Center. Its mission--to improve humanity--has dominated your entire life. You’re used to the automated nature of your world, but you haven’t seen the researchers in weeks and something feels very wrong. It’s been long enough now that you and your fellow subjects have no choice but to try and escape the facility.
