House of the Jade Lantern

In keeping with the spirit of July 4th, I will be running a game of Colonial Gothic for the July 2010 Good Omens Mincon at EndGame. The game is set for a 10 am to 2 pm spot. Colonial Gothic is a supernatural historical horror roleplaying game set during the dawn of the American Revolution.

Scenario Name: A Surprise for General Gage
Game System: Colonial Gothic
Characters Provided: Yes
Variations (if any): n/a
Power Level (if relevant): Low but Strange
Time slot (morning, afternoon or evening): Morning
Number of Players: 5
Description: It is 1775, and the flames of independence begin to catch in Colonial America. Boston, one of the world’s greatest trading ports, is under siege. The Massachusetts Militia controls the land surrounding the city, while the Royal Navy controls the sea and British troops fill the streets.

Odd circumstances cause your strange band to be in place to lend a hand to the fledgling Revolution – or deal it a setback. From the Old Post Road to the streets of Boston, it’s a small thing that might be heard ’round the world; a surprise for General Thomas Gage. 

If you’re going to be in town for the 17th, I highly recommend attending the minicon.
