Operation: Market Garden by Rachael Hodson.



Operation Market Garden is General Bernard Montgomery's attempt to seize the Rhine crossings in 1944, and is thought to be vital to the War effort.



But there is a problem; something is blunting his advance. You are an elite group of Scions, the children of the Gods, sent to find out who, what, where, and more importantly, why this is happening.



This is Market Garden, the alternative history.



A Scion adventure for 2- 6 pre-generated player characters.

The Hegner Variations by Gareth Larter.



After surviving a particularly brutal mission, you and your colleagues are taking well-deserved R&R in Oslo Spire. That is, until reports of a supposed terrorist attack on the local Dive Room spur you into action as the closest response team available. Who was the stranger leaping through the window of the Dive Room? How did he kill all the divers? Who is "The Master", and what does he want with one of your number?



Corporation is a Role Playing game, set against a backdrop of global corporate domination in the year 2500. You are all bio-mechanically augmented Agents executing the will of your Corporation. You have all been trained, honed and upgraded beyond anything previously imaginable, and you’re going to need it as you negotiate, fight, steal and murder in the name of the Corporation. From the polluted and rain-soaked streets of Old Berlin, to the soaring Spire Cities of the Far East, your loyalty is always to the Corporation and your work brutal, dark and ugly. You are not alone; enemy agents, militant police, abominable creations and religious zealots are just some of the obstacles keeping you from your objective. In this world there is no right and wrong, no good and bad; only the Corporation.



A Corporation adventure for 3-6 pre-generated player characters.

(By the way, the description of this group still refers to Gamesfest as taking place in Tring. One of the mods might like to fix that before someone turns up at the wrong place on the 24th.)

Anyway - one of the Steve Jackson Games Men in Black has now undertaken to run a scenario in tribute to (and with the approval of) one of the author guests at the con:

Charms to Soothe

A GURPS scenario for 5 players, set in the world of David Devereux's Broom Cupboard series (Hunter's Moon, Eagle Rising...).

[Lupercal]

As an incentive, those that buy tickets
before the convention will be entered into a free prize draw on the day!



So head to www.gamesfest.co.uk and order away! As
ever the prize will be awesome.

Oh yes - We have moved to Watford!

Unfortunately, Roger Burton West, who was going to be running Charms to Soothe (as described above) has had to cry off at the last minute due to illness. Hence, we'll have to cancel that scenario. We apologise for this, but Roger doesn't want to spread his current germ collection further round the gamer community.

I'll still be along with a collection of Steve Jackson Games board and card games.
