Here are the full details on each of the MEPA events! FRIDAY 8 pm – MidnightEscape From The Dwarf Lord’s TombA merry band of sword-n-sorcery heroes takes the short cut under the mountains and through the abandoned mines of Smornia. Lost deep beneath the crust in a maze of endless corridors and tunnels, the party is starting to feel like they’ve gotten the shaft. With hordes of cave hobgoblins in front of them and a monstrous demon from the deep thundering on their heels, this rag-tag fellowship of Dwarves, Elves, Goblins, Gnobbits and Humnz find themselves with only one way out – FIGHT! A wicked little intro to WEGS, the Wickedly Errant Game System. SATURDAY 9 am - 1 pmWhack A Troll! (WEGS Demos)This quick tour of the Wickedly Errant Game System will have you up and running with your first character in no time at all (running, that is, from a troll). All you need to do is pick an Arketype (Warrior, Ranger, Trickster, Mage or Sage) and then a race (Dwarf, Elf, Goblin, Gnobbit or Humnz). It takes about 15 minutes to create your hero and then we go face-to-face with a vicious, slobbering troll set on having you and your fellow adventurers for din-din. Think you can hack it? Then come on over to the table WEGS and give it a whack! The troll is waiting! 2 pm - 6 pmKeep on the Badderlands: Hobgoblin BBQ!A rag-tag assortment of Dwarves, Elves, Goblins, Gnobbits and Humnz find themselves lost in Trollspittle Swamp, a dismal land swarming with Hobgoblins. To make things worse for the party, it’s the night before the Great Hobgobbling Feast and they're within sniffing distance of hungry, hungry Hobgob hunters and their vicious turkey-dragons. Will the party make it out of the swamp, or are they destined to be hobgobbled up? Get ready for some poker chip tossing, sword-n-sorcery adventure with WEGS, the Wickedly Errant Game System! 8 pm - 10 pm Keep on the Badderlands: Minotaur Meat!A stalwart band of sword-n-sorcery heroes are hired to rescue a wealthy merchant’s daughter from the dreaded labyrinth of the Minotaur! Those who dare enter become dazed and confused, so it's up to the party to pull it all together, rescue the maiden and find their way back out (all the while hoping to avoid the 800 pound Minotaur lurking about)! Game starts with a quick character generation and then it's off to see the Mino! Get wicked with WEGS, the Wickedly Errant Game System! Old skool dungeon fun with a brand new set of dice under the hood! Midnite WEGS Sucks! (A Vampyric Encounter)Wanna see why you shouldn't poke about the tomb of a crotchety old vampire in the Wegsworld?!? In this vicious intro to WEGS, adventurers face the fangs of the nasty Vampire Lord Vorghul and some of his little minions. Get ready for some late-night, poker chip tossing, sword-n-sorcery adventure with WEGS, the Wickedly Errant Game System! SUNDAY11 am - 4 pm: Storm The Keep! Face impossible odds WEGS style! A rag-tag assortment of sword-n-sorcery heroes find themselves in an all-too-familiar “holding down the fort despite outlandish odds” setting. The heroes are holed up at the Yawlamoo, a crumbling Dwarven mission on the edge of the sand-blasted Goblin Desert. Outside the mission a horde of Goblins and their minions have assembled and await the signal to blitz the fort. It’s only be a matter of time before the Arks start testing the WEGS Near Death Experience mechanic. Phew points will fly!

If you made it out to Scranton, you'd be going for the WEGS Triple Crown this year: Mepa, Origins, Gencon. That might be too much WEGS-ing for you!

Game 1 is done! Escape From The Dwarf Lord's Tomb Arks 1 Elf Ranger 1 Goblin Warrior 1 Humnz Mage 1 Gnobbit Trickster Three waves of minions. Game began with players having 6 innings to prepare themselves for the onslaught (randomly determined by d6). This took a big chunk out of the first wave (8 innings total). By the time the first wave of minions got on the board, the Arks had only two innings left before next wave arrived! Pretty brutal start. With back-to-back waves, the Arks were faced with non-stop combat. It didn't help that the only Skolar in the party couldn't find much magic with all that lead time (he only got one Sense Magic up pre-encounter). The Mage did manage to get one smoking Flaming Fryball on the back of the Cave Troll. He scored a 44GS for Sense, followed by an 88GS blasting. This gave each fryball a 12+SPS base. Total was a +18EW per inning (on top of the Damage Die roll). That's one smoking fryball!Nevertheless, game ended with one dead Mage, one dead Warrior, one Trickster in hiding and one Ranger that snuck out the back door. More games tomorrow!

Things would have been different if the Elf didn't flee, that's for sure. That was only the first of many Arks to run off the battlemat at MEPA, lots were to follow his lead! You guys out in Scranton know how to take a beating! We'll be back with even more minions in the fall...

Sat Morn: Whack A Troll!Team Elf... In the Sat. morning session of Whack A Troll, we returned to the Mines of Smornia from the night before to find Bob The Elf Ranger making allies with a whole new group of Arks (just in time to be set upon by a fleeing band of Goblins). Won't give too much of this away as the Prof is working on these notes. A second Elf Ranger (code name Chuck) was in the party, and these two players took the pole position and second seat. So, each inning started with a volley of arrows. The Elves had made a pact to split any of their elimination bonuses with each other (didn't make other players happy). The pole position gave the Elves the ability to snipe away the weak minions at the top of the inning. The weak were those the other Arks had attacked but couldn't finish off before the inning end. Great dynamic! Needless to say, there was no fondness for Elves by the end of this game!

Kain - you guys had a Goblin fetish, that's all! Elves were always there, they were just "dwarfed" by the Shroom Eater clan!!! Devlan - you were a sport about sticking it out to the end, i'll give you that! how many of your Ark Kards ended up in the dead pile?!? That's the spirit we need! Truth be told, you gave us a run for the money every time! And the Elfs were great - just a touch vainglorious (as any elf should be)!

I think eveyone who played more than once died once and one guy was killed twice you guys had a quite high death rte I must say I'm hoping my Goblin will be last of my charcters to be mauled by such a vicious creature but something tells me I have sevral more brutal battles a Meapacon coming in fall.

that was a pretty brutal con. even i had an ark in the dead pile... at the end of Hobgoblin Bbq, my dwarf warrior was surround on all sides by the prof's hobgoblin gang. then he sent the hobgob king over to finish me off... of course, i returned the favor to his Sage in Minotaur Meat (once the other players had fled the battlemat).

Ah, yes, lots of running away this weekend. I was not kidding when I said that next year every encounter will start with the doors to the room slamming shut behind the Arks!
The Prof
Real Heroes go down swinging!
