~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Tennessee Valley Gamers Association (tvga.org) is running several RPG tables throughout the con with a feature on living campaigns.

"We're doing advanced sign-ups on our Con Nooga Warhorn site to guarantee yourself a seat." and link to http://www.warhorn.net/connooga/

What is a living campaign? A living campaign is a shared campaign setting with a codified set of rules for the campaign that govern how to build and advance characters as well as how the campaign will handle rules elements of the setting. Campaign staff create, distribute, and manage new adventures in that campaign setting, allowing players all over the world to play their living character in the same campaign at various venues anytime, anywhere.
Below are descriptions of some of the living campaigns the TVGA will be offering. Please stop by our booth in the gaming hall anytime to check the schedule and reserve any open seats. New players are ALWAYS welcome. We'll have pregenerated characters available for all campaigns in case you aren't able to make one yourself.

Living Forgotten Realms - LFR uses the D&D 4th Edition ruleset to offer players a chance to determine the future of Ferûn: 200 years have passed since Mystra, the goddess of magic, was slain and the Weave was destroyed. In the years since, the Spellplague has ravaged the world, changed the way magic works, and left many bearing strange spellscars, even the great Elminster of Shadowdale. Abeir has returned, bringing new realms, new peoples, and new problems with it. As Netherese, Zhentarim, and Thayan agents plot and scheme, who will stand against them, against the petty thugs roving the countryside, and against the horrible plaguechanged monsters whispered about in the alleys and taverns of Baldur's Gate and the other cities from the Sword Coast to the Sea of Fallen Stars?

Shadowrun Mission 02: Denver - Utilizing the new Shadowrun 4e Anniversary Edition ruleset, SRM takes you back to the d6 system and forward, to 2071 and Denver, the City of Shadows: "Hey chummers, so it's like this: the Great Western Dragon Ghostwalker returns, right? Messes up the place, names Denver his lair, all very dragony, eh? Well, a bunch of invasions and takeovers follow and now the city's split into 4 sectors, each the tip of a country. They put up walls, post guards, pretend to be civil. But we know better, right? And we know a goldmine when he hear it. After all, we're runners, right?"

Pathfinder Society - PFS uses the new Pathfinder ruleset, based on D&D 3e's d20 system. In Pathfinder Society Organized Play, you play a member of the Pathfinder Society, seeking fortune and glory all over the face of Golarion. At the same time, your character works for one of the five competing nation-based factions, all with their own motivations and secret agendas. Every member shares one common dream: to contribute to the Pathfinder Chronicles, printed editions of secret lore coveted by the Society wherein only the most impressive finds and bravest exploits of the Pathfinders are immortalized.
