Here is the latest post from Dark Phoenix Events. This one is by yours truly regarding the difference between Player and Character knowledge.

Happy New Year!!

www.darkphoenixevents.com/phoenix-tales/2019/12/30/handling-player-knowledge-versus-character-knowledge

by Andre Kruppa One of the tricky facets for a Game Master (GM) running role-playing games is adjudicating the difference between what a Player knows and what a Player Character (PC) knows. The gulf can be very wide or rather narrow depending upon the circumstances. For example, a PC may well be a

Buy a ticket now and encourage your friends to join you!

1. The Opening
by Andre Kruppa
Lucid Dreams Role-Playing Engine - Early 20th Century
4 – 7 Players
4 – 5 Hour Running Time

Late in the Egyptian archaeological season of 1905, the team, holding a Valley of the Kings concession by way of Theodore Davis, financier of the Antiquities Service, has completed the initial excavation of KV19 and have begun to explore the chambers within. The tomb has mysterious anomalies such as a large shrine dedicated to Sobek and an inner chamber door with an unusual sigil resembling a leaf within a circle. This weird symbol has never before been seen at any other Egyptian site and it is accompanied by a strange curse written above the door. Most of the group is working to catalog the contents of the shrine and to decipher several hieroglyphic sequences as well as a series of Hieratic texts inscribed upon the walls. A few others are working on getting the next door open, making the breaking of the strange seal inevitable.

2. Moonglow
by John Almack
Call of Cthulhu (7th Ed)
4 – 6 Players
4 – 5 Hour Running Time

Your team is set to relieve the crew of Moonbase Shackleton, at the rim of the gargantuan Shackleton Crater, for six months of duty. Harvesters work the surface of the perpetually dark titanic crater collecting and processing water-ice and minerals, with the precious Helium-3 being shipped to Earth orbit. Oddly your departure date was suddenly moved up two weeks, the Flight Engineer was replaced, and then you were told the base is out of contact.

3. Kith and Kine
by Phredd Groves
Cthulhu Invictus (7th Ed) - Early 2nd Century AD
4 – 7 Players
4.5 – 5.5 Hour Running Time

Your band has been dispatched to Britannia. The Autirellauni tribe, led by Titus Flavius Nectoprastus, whose silver mines feed the empire, is having trouble with a growing barrow cult. Diplomacy is vital to prevent a tribal uprising with the legions off in the north!
