I am running the following games at Conception 2006.
I am running a game based on the series FireFly and the film Serenity by Buffy's Joss Whedon. I am using the HeroQuest rules system for simplity. Both games are the same scenario but with different players for each the final outcomes should differ. The crew will be the crew of The Betty from Alien 4; Joss Whedon's first stab at a misfit crew of smugglers onboard an old, broken-down ship.

I am also going to run some HeroQuest games set in Glorantha. Using characters from the Orlanthi barbarians set against the mighty Lunar Empire and against over-welming odds. But the things that these characters do not lack is courage and tenacious tendencies [and brains to see when the outlook is bleak].
A rip-roaring adventures await.

Thank you for your time.

HeroQuest adventure for up to 7 players.
Age 12+. Newcomers very welcome. Maturity preferred.

Six years ago the Tarnda clan was abruptly attacked and obliterated by the ferocious Dragonewts for reasons unknown. The only known survivors were the clansmen that weren't there at the time.
They have occupied the Tarnda Tula since, fiercely guarding their new acquisition but haven't advanced out into anyone else's territory nor has anyone given any concern to their new neighbours for fear of the same happening to them.
Yet now there are reports that the Dragonewts have packed up and left, returning back to their city. A band of explorers and warriors have been gathered to investigate the deserted villages and to try to discover why the Dragonewts have suddenly left, why they attacked and held this land, and if there is anyone or anything left.
However the main question at the back of everyone's head is
'Will the Dragonewts return?'

"The Lunars have encroached upon the territory of an allied clan, taking over an abandoned fort southeast of the clan's main settlement of Talask. Two Maran Gori priestesses are missing and are presumed captured by the enemy. They most be recovered at any cost and the Imperials forced to pay!
However trees have sprouted and suddenly grown in the village, they are even growing though the buildings.
Is this some Lunar trickery or is it something more sinister coming from the dark, dark forest?"
