Phenomenon 2003

A roleplaying convention

Living Greyhawk

Organiser – Wes Nicholson

The RPGA Asia Pacific Branch brings you a smorgasbord of Living Greyhawk games.

Living Greyhawk is a 3rd edition D&D campaign that is run on a world-wide basis. Generate yourself a starting character, and join in the fun. Rules knowledge is not essential, but it is a nice aid. Characters played by Australians originate from the country of Perrenland. Information on Perrenland and Living Greyhawk can be found at: http://lythia.com/perrenland/

All Living Greyhawk games are written for a range of Average Party Levels (APL). New players, and new characters, should look for games that can be played at APL 2 (for 1st to 3rd level characters). You need to bring a character to these games. We use a 28 point point-buy method to create characters. For more information see http://perrenland.lythia.com/playerguide.php or contact Wes for any assistance.

Our smorgasbord includes:

• The Dance of Nerull – by Patrick Williamson
• Bandits! – by Wes Nicholson
• Wild Goose Chase – by Mark Somers
• Tinderbox – by Mark Somers
• The Yeti’s Tooth – by Bruce Paris
• Experimentation – by Brian Nowak
• Fresh air, mountain views (an interactive game) – by several Canberra writers

Be the first to reach it — or the first to die.

Available Saturday and Sunday morning sessions only.

Experimentation

for APL 6 to 12

Fresh air, mountain views

an Interactive for all APLs

Organiser: Bruce Legge

Adventurers are needed to make sure it is safe for the settlers. Bring your cash as well as your weapons. Maybe purchase a plot of land for yourself, or support the building of local businesses and institutions?

This is a one-off Living Greyhawk event that offers unique rewards. Play one of your characters in a freeform-like scenario, interspersed by a number of tabletop mini adventures chosen by your actions.

Interactive registration page: http://perrenland.lythia.com/interactive-charrego.php
