A Change in the State of Amber
Thursday August 28th 2008
7PM-1AM
GM: Murray Writtle.
Genre/Setting: Near Amber, post-alternate-patternfall leaping back to pre-chronicle times. This is an excercise in amnesia.
Players: 4-5
Synopsis: Realizing that you could time travel within the lives of your own bloodline, you stepped into the fount of fire and vanished. You stare at an unknown face in the mirror. A feisty little guy in a multi-coloured suit, tie and waistcoat, clenching a cigar, appears out of nowhere. He stares ferociously at a jewelled box in his left hand and thumps it exasperatedly. It squawks. He looks at you and takes in your dawning incomprehension. "Not again!" he mutters. "Listen, your memory is Swiss-cheesed. When the Green Knight killed Dierdre and Corwin went over the edge trying to save her, Brand fried Fiona and now we're all goose-stepping. It doesn't have to be like that. Ghostwheel isn't sure what you're here to do, but we should have some percentages once Merlin programs the new datascan." He flickers and disappears. Can you put right what once went wrong?
"Oh Boy!", Dr Sam Beckett Quantum Leap

The Moonroses of Avalon
Friday August 29th 2008
9:30AM-5PM
GM: Emma Sansone.
Genre/Setting: Lost Children of Amber.
Players: 4-6.
Synopsis: Only stories survive from that Avalon. Stories, and you. You remember the silver towers of Camelot and the war that caused its downfall, the dark years when all you loved was being destroyed. You remember the years when the war faltered and eventually ceased, and the recent years when attempts have been made at rebuilding. The people you knew in the days of Camelot are long dead, and their descendants tell the stories and only half believe them. You have found it expedient to hide your longevity, for it would be considered unnatural, and the people are afraid of anything that hints at sorcery.
And deep in the Forest Sauvage, according to tales that have sprung up among the people in the last few months, some evil is stirring: there is talk of black trees, and menacing shadows that creep about the forest, and distant howling that is not made by wolves.

Blasphemy
Saturday August 29th 2008
11AM-5PM
GM: Fabien Badilla.
Genre/Setting: Amber game with dice.
Players: 3-6.

Travelling the Black Road: Late Harvest
Saturday August 30th 2008
1PM-5PM
GM: Simone Cooper.
Genre/Setting: Adventure/Heroic -- Alternate Amber. Earth-based characters in or travelling to San Francisco in 2008.
Players: 3-6
Synopsis: You knew nothing of the Black Road. Amber and Chaos were just words to you, and war was a purely human evil that waxed and waned with the tides of history.
That was before the barriers finally eroded away, and the darkness that waited outside Earth's understanding boiled through. In the first waves of insanity and violence, memory of human war was wiped away. More than half of the world's population was destroyed before any resistance could be organized. A few pockets remain untouched... a reminder that there's still something worth saving.
You are among the few extraordinary men and women who might make a difference.
It's 2008. Welcome to Hell.

Turning Point
Saturday August 30th 2008
6PM-12AM
GMs: Murray Writtle + 1.
Genre/Setting: Patternfall War. Expect conflict, strife, and possible death. This is no longer Zelazny's storyline.
Players: 6-10.
Synopsis: Amber. Eric is dead. Oberon is missing. Corwin is King. The War with Chaos looms on Amber's horizon. The game begins at the start of "Sign of the Unicorn" if things had gone somewhat differently. Corwin slew Eric. The Amber defense forces fought with Corwin's troops. It wasn't pretty, as loyal Amberites were cut down by rifle fire. The Wyvern troops fell back and wreaked havoc upon the City of Amber. Ganelon's forces have them pinned, but there are still hostile Chaosians on Amber soil. Much of the city is on fire.
The throne of Amber is unsteady. Caine, Julian, and Gerard are outspoken in their enmity toward Corwin. Bleys and Brand are missing and presumed dead. Benedict was with Corwin in Avalon, but he has not made a public statement about Corwin. Fiona is in Amber. Flora and Llewella have been summoned to Amber. Random and Deirdre are Corwin's strongest supporters. Amber stands divided as the Courts of Chaos wage war upon her in the city and along the Black Road.
Pre-Generated Elders will be provided. Please notify the GMs of your top three choices of elder from the following list: Caine, Corwin, Deirdre, Fiona, Flora, Ganelon, Gerard, Julian, Llewella, Random.

Dangerous Relations
Sunday August 31st 2008
10 AM – 3 PM
GM: Murray Writtle.
Genre/Setting: In the universe of Corwin's Pattern less than a century after Patternfall in an eternal city modelled on the Paris of the Musketeers.
Players: 3-5.
Synopsis: You are the flower, the veritable Rose d'Argent of 17th Century France! Your patron Duke Athos Corbeau has retired to his Richelieu estates now the good of France dictates he pass the baton to someone still in the prime of life. The Duke seems sunk in melancholy. The death of his sister perhaps still weighs heavy. The youngest of his cabal of one-time guardsmen, the finest blade who ever lived is no more. The legendary strength of Gerard Porthos fails and he is consoled only by his mistress. Cardinal Aramis Mazarin alone retains the legendary faculties that equip him to serve as the nation's Prime Minister, for the good of France. But there are rumours he will disband the elite Cardinal's Guard and in the name of unity allow those wastrel, dilettante Musketeer poodles to represent the flower of French chivalry. What a mockery! Their games grow more cruel and Athos and Aramis no longer speak.
