BlurbIf you plan on having something to eat or drink for breakfast at the Rockin K, (location of the larps) please sign up so I can give the owner a head count to prepare for.
DescriptionBreakfast will be served a la carte. There will be hot and cold organic fair trade coffee and tea as well as the options of fruit smoothies and protein shakes. Credit cards are accepted but cash is preferred. I have been told that breakfast cookies, muffins and maybe bagels will be available. If you plan on buying breakfast please sign up so I have a good idea of a head count Diane can prepare for. Please do not bring outside food in. They are being really nice about letting us use this location for free and the food is no more expensive than anywhere else. I would like to support their business for being so good to us and our needs. Any dietary needs can most likely be accommodated as long as you send me an E-mail.- Happily Ever After?

BlurbLove conquers all! Or does it? Join famous couples from literature as they discuss their marital issues and explore options to salvage their relationships. Sometimes you have to tell the truth, even though it hurts, in order for the wound to heal.Love is great but can love endure in-laws, children, sexual slumps, infidelity, and other trials of long term relationships?

BlurbA space operatic retelling of the Wizard of Oz, where important people from all across the Oz system arrive to the Emerald Station to a tentative peace talk to discuss the implications of the war, the strange changes in hyperspace, and what to do about the mysterious disappearance of the Wizard just before the conference.
DescriptionIn this science fiction reinterpretation of the Wonderful Wizard of Oz, players take on the roles of the soldiers, diplomats, and scientists from various planets in the Oz system, inspired by the events and figures in the L. Frank Baum novels. Since the Yellow Brick Roads were established as paths for ships to follow through hyperspace, travel and commerce throughout planets in the Oz System has never been easier or more efficient. The passages between hyperspace and real space may have been unstable, but with the construction of the the Emerald Station people believed that things were headed for a new era of advancement and prosperity. The rise of a system-wide war and the complications that resulted, however, means that Oz must sort out its society's various troubles, from interplanetary vendetta to environmental irregularities to political maneuvering in all manner of disguise. Players must deal with the aftermath of the interplanetary conflict as well as their own personal entanglements against the backdrop of scientific phenomenon they are striving to understand.- House of the Rising Sun: 02:30 pm - 06:00 pm
