Furnace is an old friend of D101 Games, its been the triumphant setting of many a game of OpenQuest and Monkey in the past and one of the inspirations for what we do.

At least two games of OpenQuest will be running;

Pirates of the Black Isles
An OpenQuest adventure from Empires Rising by Nathan Baron

The Black Isles are a notorious Pirate haven, attracting all the scum and villainy that sail the seas of Athennia. Rumours are rife that a long-dead infamous Pirate, Captain Xanbarer, left a map to his treasure horde hidden inside clay pot. Now this pot has mysteriously turned up in the possession of a one-eyed hermit living on one of the outer islands. Does this pot contains directions to Xanbarer’s treasure, and lead to wealth and fortune to whoever finds it?

The Beast of Ravenswood.
An OpenQuest adventure from The Savage North by John Ossoway, GMed by Tom Zunder

It started just before the start of last Autumn. Trappers and woodsmen returning from hunting trips into Ravenswood brought back stories of comrades who had been lost to a creature of ancient evil which stalked any caught in the forest after nightfall. No one has seen the beast and lived to tell the tale. Their mutilated corpses were found headless. None of the victim’s heads have ever been found. The merchants and elders of Arnstown posted a bounty of 500 silver pieces to whoever killed the beast and brought the head before them as proof.

That was 4 months ago. The bounty has been increased 3 times and now stands at 1000 pieces of silver, but still no one has succeeded in slaying the beast.

The con trader Patriot Games will also have copies of the game.

Unfortunately the con is sold out, and I’m not going to be in attendance (due to recent new arrival in the Newt family ), but if you are going no excuse not to get a game of OpenQuest in and get a copy of the game
