Stretching the Boundaries (WS)

Erick Wujcik runs a workshop on role-playing and Game Mastering. Includes some lecturing on role-playing, but seasoned with some face-to-face exercises, where participants will take turns Game Mastering and role-playing.

Host - Erick Wujcik

Flotsam and Jetsam (CR) Accepting 4-8 players

You and some of your cousins were (un)fortunate enough to be at Castle Amber for business or pleasure. Now the King has asked you to meet in the courtyard and check out the commotion down in Amber City. Seems something has washed up on shore last night and no one knows what to do with it. Light scenario for fun. No restrictions.

GM - Randy Cox *

Dr. Jellyfingers, Professional Proctologist (SW) Accepting 4-8 players

Brought to you by the same idiots who brought you the "Oberon's" game and "Amber: The Musical." If you like rubber gloves, cross-dressing and lawyers, this one's for you. We've been called the 'Monty Python of AmberCon.' Come see why. Comedy with lots of roleplaying. Infantile level of play. A sense of humor and roleplaying ability are necessary. Proctologists must not offend you.

GM - Mark Stafford, Charles Moore, Mike Yates

Shadowlock "Character Creation" (CR) Accepting 2-6 players

Mellenia have passed since the Pattern Fall War, and the people and events of that time have become myths and legends. Shadows beyond the Golden Circle have become frozen and nearly impassible, while the Courts of Chaos are believed to have boiled away long ago. Amber has become a high tech megalopolis, most of who's citizens claim to be a descendent of Oberon, but almost none show any signs of the old powers except you and a few other children. Contact ScottPiipo@aol.com Experienced level of play. Characters may be used in Slot 8 new campaign Shadowlock "The Genesis Project"

GM - Scott Piippo

Second Chance (CR) Accepting 6 players

You awaken in darkness. The floor beneath you is cold and hard. The smell of sweat fills your nostrils. You hear breathing. You have no idea who you are. Non-standard rules. Characters will be generated during play.

GM - Jack Gulick & Ron Kreiger

The Third Host (SW) Accepting 8 players

A masked ball, a country manor, and the Family and Entourage of Bleys of Amber. A heavenly evening, promised by a fiendish fellow. But he swears no tricks ... Amber characters only, no point or power limits.

GM - Felicia Baker *

Stacks of Trouble (SW) Accepting 6 players

Did I say trouble? Must be a misprint. The Great Library of Chaos is a haven of scholarship and refinement. Just the place for you the honored visiting Amberite, to quietly pursue your research. Don't worry...BYO Amberite with no close ties to the Courts, and a reason to consult the Great Library.

GM - Cathy Klessig *

Flora's Bad Hair Day (CR) Accepting 8 players

Everyone is leaving for the weekend except you kids and Aunt Flora. Yes, that means she is in charge of Amber. Yuck! Worse, she is in charge of you! But, hey, what could possibly go wrong? 14 to 17 years old, 100 point characters. Parentage to be chosen at game start. Amberites only. No holds barred, screw-off game with a few serious points.

GM - Duane Spencer

Amber Legion (NC) Accepting 7-14 players

See strange lands, protect Amber from shadowland invaders, be one of the brave, the bold; be all you can be, be a marine. Enlist now. Your limited point character will be created at the game, you will be a citizen of Amber, not a prince or a Chaosian.

GM - Michael Kucharski * & Steve Ainsworth

Age of Ragnarok (OC) Accepting 10 new players

The Passion Play continues ... It's been 100 years after the War of Ragnarok. Amber is destroyed and almost all of the Elders are dead. Chaos has crumbled and the Houses have divided. The Unicorn and the Serpent have left reality and with them, the powers have ceased to exist. Shadows are simply fragments of the worlds they once possessed, simple Shadows of themselves. Sounds depressing, eh? Dude! You don't even know the half of it. That doesn't even scratch the surface. If you're interested in creating and discovering a whole new universe (or at least die trying), come and join the Age of Ragnarok when all the gods die! This game is an ongoing campaign that started a couple years ago, but new players are encouraged to jump in (as players seem to jump out too). There are a few rule modifications, so new characters will be created on site. Players may be Amberites, Chaosians, Shadow Dwellers or Demons.

GM - Brad Foreman

Echoes of Thunder (OC ) Accepting 2 new players

Storm-tossed and war-torn, Amber endures. Random has ruled for a year with uncertain alliances and unstable treaties. All kith and kin have been called to do their duty to keep the empire together. You are invited to the first annual Royal Jubilee to celebrate the anniversary of Random's reign. Silks, sweet smiles and silver daggers ... there's no place like home. This is a player centered, personality based and intrigue filled campaign. No Merlin books, no Shadow Knight rules. Intermediate level of play. Accepted players must contact us by phone or e-mail before the con to set up their 100 pt. Characters. (734) 451-0712 or qwellysh@ix.netcom.com or www.geocities.com/area51/lair/7979

GM - George Gitari & Rachel Holmberg

Blood Bound (Sequel to Home, Hope, & ...) (OC) Accepting new players

You've staved off the incursions of your father's family, but at what cost? Can Avalon weather the storm your actions have conjured? And what will be the ramifications on the other side? Will you be ready when blood calls for blood once again? Drama. Continuing characters are children of Corwin dwelling in the isolated realm of Avalon that is defined by Corwin's pattern. Intermediate to advanced level of play. New characters may have other options. 150 pts, advanced powers discouraged. Players must be punctual

GM - David de Jong

A Ghost Story (OC) No new players

GM - Rae Williams *

Void Indigo (OC) Accepting 1 new player

Dark creatures roam the paths of Arden, threatening Amber itself. Great swirls of matter rise from the Sea of Chaos to spiral down into the Abyss. Realities and Shadows are stretched long as the primal powers shift their weight into an unseen wind. Will you survive the coming changes? Restrictions: New powers (independently spawned or found in Shadow Knight) require GM approval. Artifact-reliant characters discouraged. Characters are generated independently with approximately 300 pnts.

GM - David Vandenabeele

The Rayser's Edge (FF) Accepting 4 players FF

A game for problem solvers. The plot is motivated by at least some admiration for Julian. Ms. Rayser goes it alone with a spotlight on her serious side. While the actual title of this game is being purposely witheld for fear of revealing the plot, suffice it to say it involves an event that hold great fear and sorrow for the GM, and may make players think twice before stepping on the Rayser's Edge again. Restrictions: BYO Amberite - 175pts, +/- 5 Stuff, basic Powers only (ie - Pattern, Sorcery, Conjuration, Trump, Power Words, Shapeshift -- no Powers of Chaosian origin).

GM - Jennifer "Rayser" Sinclaire

SLOT 2 FRIDAY, MARCH 26 9 AM - 1PM

Labyrinth Walk and Discussion (WS)

For Amberites, walking the pattern is a ritual, which offers mystic power. The pattern is a labyrinth. Here on Earth labyrinths are regaining popularity as a method of tapping into one's inner self - a moving meditation. We'll have a labyrinth available for walking and an informal discussion of the history of the labyrinth, it's modern application and why it's the center of the Amber Universe.

Host - Liz Trumitch

Bound with a Shifter's Skin ... (CR) Accepting 10 players

Abiding in the heart of all beings, set apart from the commerce of mortals, you who know many forms have elusive souls. There is a darkness that fuels the changing cell, the kinetic skeleton, the chameleon skin. For your kind stasis is death, and you'll find no salvation in chaos. Characters of intense shape shifting power will be created specially for this event, although an existing character, if you wish, may be used as a template.

GM - Erick Wujcik

Dworkin's Closet (SW) Accepting 3-6 players

The Pattern and the Logrus have had their little tiff in Castle Amber, enabling all sorts of redecorating possibilities. Unfortunately, the little "event" didn't just open up a whole lot of empty space, it also revealed some minor architectural peculiaritities. No one knew about the little room with no door, but as far as anyone can tell it is right behind the last set of rooms associated with Dworkin. Peeling plaster has revealed part of a picture that pulses with Trump energy. Now King Random wants some otherwise unoccupied family members to deal with it before whatever might happen, does ... (action/drama) any level of play accepted. Characters up to 150 pts +/- 10 pts. Stuff, must be familiar, accepted in or at least beholden to the Royal Court of Amber.

GM - Cal Rea

Universal Structure/Story Telling ... What comes 1st? (SM) Accepting 1-8 participants

A discussion of story development and how the universe as a whole interacts with the characters. Do you design a story in which the universe does what it does and let the characters deal with this, or make it dynamic and built entirely on the characters ... is there a middle ground? No naked people.

Host - Chris Salzer

Empire of the Gleaming Banner (SW) Accepting 4-10 players

Merlin, the King of Chaos, has accepted the invitation of Lora, Empress of the Gleaming, to a Festival honoring his betrothal to Zakchere, of House Helgram. PC's will be at the event and politics and romance will mix with manners and subtle intrigue. A personal presentation to the King of Chaos may be crucial. The Empress expects each citizen to do his or her duty and present the Empire in the most favorable light. Plot is sequential through slots 2,3 and 4, but participation in any or all is welcome. 60 pt characters. Imperial Gleaming PC concepts will have priority. Courts of Chaos PCs restricted. Amber PCs not allowed. Character sheets must be approved by GM prior to AmberCon (if possible). Background material on request http://members.aol.com/arrefmak/egb.htm

GM - Ray McCaughey

A Heap of Broken Images (CR) Accepting 5 players

Oberon is your father. Amber has existed for about a thousand years, and there is still that bothersome on-again, off-again skirmishing with Chaos. The Golden Circle is a prosperous, happy place. Amber is strong and happy. So why did a Shadow Storm just wipe out half the Amber Navy? And where has dad gone? And why are Amber's best Admirals and Generals turning traitor to the Crown? Things are suddenly not looking good. No Chaosians, Living Artifacts, Demons, or Constructs. Otherwise, go for it! 150 points, advanced, clever, experienced role-players. This event runs for slots 2 & 3. You may play in either or both sessions, as you choose. Preference will be given to the five Slot 2 participants.

GM - Garon Whited

The Corey Family Reunion (PG - partially) Accepting 4-7 players

More than two hundred family members have been invited from all over the world to gather together for the maiden voyage of the most luxurious ocean liner ever built. 100 pt characters. This was run quite successfully last year. More information at

GM - Matthew Richardson

Through the Looking Glass (SW) Accepting 6 players

GM - Heidi "Kassi" King

The Fall of the Phoenix (SW/PG) Accepting 6-9 players

You're summoned to Court by Random -- he'd like to know what the hell you've been doing while military forces have been ripping through the Golden Circle. Better have your excuse handy and get ready to defend Amber, unless of course you really are behind this. You play one of the Elders (including Merlin and Luke), characters are pre-generated with the option to customize. Experienced level of play. No constructs, pattern ghosts, talking powers but 2nd series history acknowledged. Continued in Slot 3.

GM - Karen Francis & Jim Groves

Old Soldiers (FF/EL) Accepting 10-16 players

Lord General Benedict says that in war there are sacrifices, losses you know you will suffer to gain a greater victory. You have to plan them, choose them. You have to look men in the eye thinking, "You will die," while you inspire them and tell them what they are about to win for you. Men and women, cities, land, prosperity ... all these were thrown on the alter of the great war. All these you gave, when perhaps all you had to give was your pride. This is not (in the immortal words of a past description of "Reservoir Hellhounds") a festive romp through Castle Amber. All players will be asked to provide three concepts they'd be willing to play. One concept must be from Amber; one must be from Chaos; the third can be either or anything else. Players should be Elders from Amber and Chaos or other highly placed diplomatic or military personnel. Random is King in Amber; Merlin is King in Chaos. Characters should be based on 250 points with a 10-point limit on bad stuff. All characters will also have additional discretionary points/ secrets / knowledge given to them at the game, but please do not count on these extra points in creating your character. Folks who can get their characters to Simone in advance by e-mail, phone, or post will get an additional 10 points. (Simone Cooper, 8047 N. Syracuse, Portland, OR 97203, (503)283-0542 before 11 PM West Coast time, simone@wyrdrune.com

GM - Simone Cooper, Joe Saul, David deJong, Dave Golden & others

Cracks & Shards (SW) Accepting 4-7 players

The Jewel of Judgement has been stolen and Random has sent you and your comrades (naturally) to retrieve it. (he and his siblings are busy defending Amber from the current Chaosian invasion, of course.) The catch? The bad guys have beaten you to the punch, but you've managed to corner them in some backwater Shadow. Just as you were about to beat the snot out of them and take the JoJ back, the Serpent came calling to reclaim its eye. The last thing you remember is the Unicorn shattering the JoJ and a blinding flash of light ... (An action/comedy inspired by the works of T. Pratchett, P. Anthony, and N. Gaiman.) Emphasis on role-playing. 175 pt restriction. No advanced powers, Amberites only.

GM - Wendy Strang-Frost

The Breakfast Club (FF / PG) Accepting up to 6 players

SLOT 3 FRIDAY, MARCH 26 2 PM - 6PM

Web-Pattern, Cyber-Logrus Accepting 8 players

Consider an Amberverse where technology is the new front in the war between Amber and Chaos. Where Ghostwheel is just one of a multitude of possible weapons ... Open to any from Amber or Chaos, save that all characters must be comfortable with a high-tech, cyber-realm Shadow.

GM - Erick Wujcik

The Unicorn League (PG) Accepting 6 players

You are an Amberite, but not of royal blood. A family retainer, trusted friend etc. Can you avert a serious threat to Amber in your royal patrons' absence?

GM - Carol Dodd *

Empire of the Gleaming Banner (SW) Accepting 4-10 players

But some in the Courts of Chaos do not wish to see changes such as treaties with the Empire. Also, the Empress has a special matter to be resolved before the Wedding can take place.

GM - Ray McCaughey

Status! (SW) Accepting 6 players

Lie. Connive. Scheme. Exalt your friends, crush your enemies, and switch the categories without notice. These things are your life, for are you not a Lord of Chaos? But if you want to stay on the fast track, it's time for you to take the Logrus. And, if you can't gain enough Status to be accepted as one of Master Suhuy's students, a promising career could be cut tragically short. Begins with an auction, but you may choose to BYO young Chaosian without Logrus.

GM - Cathy Klessig *

Shadow Lords (FF) Accepting 4-8 players

The Shadow lands between Amber and Chaos hold their own dangers, none to be taken lightly. Join the Shadow Lord coalition, an attempt to hold the other powers at bay and prevent them from overrunning the entire universe.

Action orientated with interest in powers other than the norm. Players created on site. Rules are available on the web At www.primechoice.com/misterme/amber/sh_lord.html E-mail the game master at shallown@worldnet.att.net, if possible, to work out characters before hand.

Pax Familia (SW) Accepting 8 players

Patternfall is over, the courts are vanquished. From Kolvir to Chaos the Unicorn Banner flies over all. No magic threatens the pattern; no foes from without are left to take arms.

GM - Brian Goudie

The Price of the King's Peace (SW) Accepting 2-7 players

The monarchs in Amber and Chaos together have imposed a peace with which their subjects are unhappy. Will you help make or break the peace? Amber DRPG experience suggested (translation: the game could become a bit cutthroat, but I am willing to accommodate beginning players)

GM - Linda Cottrell

Of Light and Darkness: the Kindling (NA) Accepting 4-6 players

Are you a God? "When neither Being or Not-Being was. Nor atmosphere, nor firmament, nor what is beyond. What did it encompass? Where? In whose protection? Casters of the seed there were, and powers. Beneath was energy and above was impulse? -- hymn from the Rig-Veda. A personality and player centered game about creating the universe from scratch. Beginner level. Players need to bring at least two different ideas for a god.

GM - Felicia Baker *

A Common Disaster (OC) No new players

GM - Deb Atwood

The Roots of Corruption (OC) No new players

Something is amiss in Arcana ... its cities have grown darker somehow, more malevolent ... and the effect is echoing across reality. In the Courts of Chaos, the boundaries holding back the Abyss are weakening, and in Amber the very foundation of Newcastle has begun to crumble and erode. Something is twisting the heart of magic, and the source of this corruption lies with Ygg. Notes: This session is part of two ongoing campaigns, Queens of Amber & Chaos Rising. Only players from these campaigns may participate in this session, though the players in these campaigns are not required to attend. This particular mini-adventure should have no major lasting effect on the campaigns. More information at

Finally, there is the live-action game, "All the World's a Stage" ... where a would-be writer and an eccentric director have teamed up to bring to the stage one of the greatest productions ever conceived: A Night in Amber. Though hopeful actors and actresses occupy the stage, there seems to be much more interesting things going on behind the scenes ... Pre-registration is required for the costume contest and live-action game; however, no registration is required for the Marketplace.

GM - John Schleick

Empire of the Gleaming Banner (SW) Accepting 4-10 players

Someone or Something is slaying diplomats and wedding delegates in the Empire in ghastly fashion. Terror has come to the sunny streets of Darrheaba. PCs are among the most likely corpses. At this rate, the Court forces opposed to diplomacy with the Empire will win the day if order is not restored. Empress Lora turns to special measures to track down the killer(s) and find what Chaosian forces have infiltrated the Empire. Plot is sequential through slots 2,3 and 4, but participation in any or all is welcome. 60 pt characters. Imperial Gleaming PC concepts will have priority. Courts of Chaos PCs restricted.

Now that he's the new king in town, everyone wants a piece of Random's time. It seems he's on the run from all his new found friends among the court, and it's up to you to find him if you wish to see him. After all, he can't be everywhere, can he? This session is meant to be light-hearted fun.

GM - Jeremy Labrosse

A Light in the Attic (FF) Accepting 3-5 players

Has Dworkin really gone sane, or has he finally leapt off the mental edge? And is he really better off this way? Granted, he's easier to hold discussions with, but he's so easily irritated by the slightest imperfections! Intermediate level of play. Maximum 200 pt. Characters, +/- 5 stuff, no exalted powers.

GM - Rayser-Sharpe Productions, Ltd.

Noramber (PG/EL) Accepting 4-6 players

We Know What You Did Last Ambercon (NC) Accepting 4-8 players

The first mini-campaign from the emotionally retarded group who brought you the 'Oberon's' games and 'Amber: The Musical.' Character creation and character background will be the focus of the first year. If you are the kind of person who knows whether or not your character has ever eaten a wood chip, this game is for you. We've been called the 'Monty Python of Ambercon,' and now you can find out what our defective minds do with an entire campaign. Comedy with lots of role-playing. Infantile level of play. A sense of humor and role-playing ability are a must. Idiotic plot lines meant only for humor must not bother you.

GM - Mark Stafford, Charles Moore, Mike Yates

The New Courts (OC) Accepting 6 new players

Seven realms have become one rather violently. Come play in the ruins and build a New Courts.

GM - Scott Whitney

Underworld (NA/OC) Accepting new players

This Underworld campaign has been run at Ambercon and GenCon for many, many years and consists of a sequence of separate missions, therefore it is open to returning and new players. Underworld is a diceless role-playing game based in our world, except that, under the façade of paperwork, politics, political correctness and 'reality', there is an Underworld where strange things happen. These strange things are almost always hidden from or dismissed by the general public. The players are members of one of many organizations out there that have this information, comprised of people with psionic powers. Last time the players defeated the opposition at Stonehenge and saved the Circle and the human race, or did they? No restrictions, characters are created at the session. Action with lighter parts thrown in.

Death Be Not Proud (CR) Accepting 6-8 Players

Come, hear the tale of your own passing, whispered in your ear by a madman. Will you believe him, or will you rail against infirmity? Come prepared to wrestle with mortality, love, the logrus and assorted family members. This is a crossover event, wherein the players may be on any point value or background, so long as they have some reason to care about and be involved in Amber. This event is one of Eric's favorites, so chances are that if you've played in one of his tabletop games, you've played this one.

GM - Eric Todd

The Unicorn in Winter (CR) Accepting 6 Players

(Remounted from Ambercon North 97) Join with King Oberon, Queen Cymnea and their three sons: Princes Finndo, Osric and Benedict - in celebrating the Unicorn Days, with Cymnea's brother, King Swayville of Chaos.

Missing Mistress (SW) Accepting 4 - 6 Players

Five months ago you were living happily in shadow, everything was going great, you parents were around when you needed them but you were leading a successful independent life. But then Grandfather turned up and 'persuaded' you all to go to your ancestral home, Amber, where you are royalty. At first it was great; balls, banquets, court life, and many wonderful new family members to meet. But you discovered yourself to be a virtual prisoners or hostage to your parent's good behaviors. Your grandfather Oberon presented you on your arrival with a golden torc covered in strange pictographs, as a sign of your new position. Now you can't get it off! Then events took a turn for the worst. The plague struck Amber, any fold died including your non-amber parent, and you were ill for awhile. Last night Oberon summoned you and some of your new cousins. He was in a seriously bad mood. It appears that one of you cousins, Prince John(son of the late Corwin) has not been seen since noon yesterday and his consort, the Lady Marion, has disappeared. You get the idea he blames your parents. You are given a trump of himself, then compelled to walk the pattern for the first time. You awake tired and wet in a forest. This game is set 5 years after Corwin's death/disappearance. Characters 80 pnts plus pattern, no adv powers and no logrus or JoJ. Characters are children of elders. 5 pnts extra for email to me before the con &/or character submission. email: 100430.1023@compuserve.com.

SPECIAL - FRIDAY AT MIDNIGHT

Jeff Lowry's Game. Year Two (SW) Accepting 6 new players

SLOT 5 SATURDAY, MARCH 27 9 AM - 1 PM

Writer's Workshop (WS)

Talk with our guest of honor, Jane Linskold about what life's like for a professional storyteller, how she got there, and her advise for up and comers.

Labyrinth Walk and Discussion (WS)

For Amberites, walking the pattern is a ritual, which offers mystic power. The pattern is a labyrinth. Here on Earth labyrinths are regaining popularity as a method of tapping into one's inner self - a moving meditation. We'll have a labyrinth available for walking and an informal discussion of the history of the labyrinth, it's modern application and why it's the center of the Amber Universe.

Host - Liz Trumitch

This Demon Does Address Thee ... Accepting 10 players

"I do bring you greetings from Vagrant, High Lord of Protocol to Queen Myriad and the Court of Chaos. By virtue of holy chance, Wyrm-That-Comforts-Us, or whatever passes for faith among the unbelievers of Amber, your name has been selected by Lottery Royale, and you have been to task appointed. From its cage the abomination has escaped, that ill-begot cross of pure Logrus and unclean Pattern. The tainted one is now beyond the Black Zone, and into child Random's realm ..." During the first play of this event, when characters were limited to those of the Courts of Chaos, all the player characters died. This is a continuation open to any and all characters, of Amber or Chaos.

GM - Erick Wujcik

The Strange Case of Mister Bariman (PG) Accepting 3-7 players

What if H.P. Lovecraft had written Amber as an 80's slasher film? Forget canon, forget your rulebooks, but do bone up on the rules of horror. This game involves pre-made versions of the elders as teens, trying not to get killed while learning the secrets of their father's castle. Characters are provided, as often as necessary, until the last hour of the time slot. After that, all deaths are final. The tone will be as dark or as silly as the players behave. Provided characters only. Don't get attached ...

GM - Sean Frost

A Heap of Broken Images (CR) Accepting 5 players

Oberon is your father. Amber has existed for about a thousand years, and there is still that bothersome on-again, off-again skirmishing with Chaos. The Golden Circle is a prosperous, happy place. Amber is strong and happy. So why did a Shadow Storm just wipe out half the Amber Navy? And where has dad gone off? And why are Amber's best Admirals and Generals turning traitor to the Crown? Things are suddenly not looking good. No Chaosians, Living Artifacts, Demons, or Constructs. Otherwise, go for it! 150 points, advanced, clever, experienced role-players. This event runs for slots 5 & 6. You may play in either or both sessions, as you choose. Preference will be given to the five Slot 5 participants.

GM - Garon Whited

Nine Princes in Amber (TW/PG) Accepting 8-12 players

Dworkin, King of Amber, has succumbed to insanity. Oberon now has to secure the throne from his exiled brothers and sisters who are no longer bound by Dworkin's mastery of the Jewel of Judgement. Pregenerated characters, 250-300 points, with a few new variations on the powers. Try your hand at the throne war behind it all.

GM - Jeff Trumitch & Lou Almassy

Cracks & Shards (SW) Accepting4-7 players

The Jewel of Judgement has been stolen and Random has sent you and your comrades (naturally) to retrieve it. (he and his siblings are busy defending Amber from the current Chaosian invasion, of course.) The catch? The bad guys have beaten you to the punch, but you've managed to corner them in some backwater Shadow. Just as you were about to beat the snot out of them and take the JoJ back, the Serpent came calling to reclaim its eye. The last thing you remember is the Unicorn shattering the JoJ and a blinding flash of light ... (An action/comedy inspired by the works of T. Pratchett, P. Anthony, and N. Gaiman.) Emphasis on role-playing. 175 pt restriction. No advanced powers, Amberites only.

GM - Wendy Strang-Frost

A new musical from the people who brought you the 'Oberon's ' games and the first 'Amber: The Musical.' This game is totally self-contained and does not depend on any knowledge of the first musical. New players welcome. If you like to see GMs making fools of themselves trying to sing, this one's for you. Comedy, music, singing and general tomfoolery, with lots of roleplaying. High level of play with roleplaying and singing required. You must like Blue Oyster Cult (okay, you don't really have to ... )

And, with Boran the new Crown Prince of Chaos, can things be any less hectic there? Just what is Dworkin trying to say, anyway? And what's going on with Suhuy and King Despil? And let's not even mention the colorless Amberites. These questions may not be answered this year, but rest assured, you'll be asking even more before it's over.

GM - Rayser-Sharpe Productions, Ltd.

Crisis on Caladan (CR) Accepting 6-12 players

An ADRP Throne Wars set in Frank Herbert's DUNE. House Atreides has left Caladan to take up govenorship at Arrakis. In doing so, it has left a number of local Houses Minor in disarray: their leaders, personnel and resources plundered and taken along to secure the Desert Planet. The Imperial Judge of the Change is arriving to oversee the rebuilding and to determine who shall rule now. Players will be nobles of the remaining Houses on Caladan and an auction and character creation will be used to determine their relative strengths and the resources controlled by each. Familiarity with DUNE a MUST! E-mail the GM at jkessler@wcom.net or visit www.wiliqueen.dreamhost.com/omnicom/dunegame.html for more information.

GM - Jack Kessler

Dozen Matters (CR) Accepting 3-10 players

War with Chaos is imminent, murders and assassinations abound. The elders have been missing for several centuries and you are invited to a traditional banquet scheduled for the anniversary of their disappearance. Players must be familiar with Amber universe. Amberites only; no exalted or Chaos powers; advanced powers are partial/negotiated; no repeat players (this game was run at GenCon)

GM - Linda Cottrell

Cross & Doublecross (EL) Accepting up to 8 players

Murder, most foul. That much is obvious. What isn't obvious is who did it or why. Certain family members have been consulted; King Random thus begins the questioning. Can you puzzle it out in time to stop another killing, or do you need to lead the investigation astray and away from your own diabolical plans? Role-playing emphasized; freestyle play is probable. Pre-game actions for elders are set, their powers/friends/dec. are not. You are what you make of it!

GM - Kristen Gibbs & David de Jong

Amber Celebrity Roast (EL) Accepting 15 players

An Elders game hosted by Droppa-My Pants. Note: Late Start & Early Finish Times 5PM - 9PM

GM - Carol Dodd *& Ron Miller *

In Mists of Radiant Darkness (CR) Accepting 8 players

A beautiful darkness is moving in Shadow. Can you find it? Face it? What choices will you make when you must? Thinking and role-playing vital. Pregens available or BYOC to 200 points with a story. Amberites or Lords of Chaos possible. This is an intense and complex game. Players should have either read several of the Amber books or role played Amber before, enough to know who the major elders are, what the Powers are, etc. There won't be time to teach this in the game. This is a game for committed role players and investigators.

GM - Michelle Barney

A Call to Arms (SW) Accepting 8-10 players

How do you measure strength? Is it a physical thing? A mental thing? Can it be calculated in terms of power? In this world, strength is only shown through your continued survival. Are you up to the challenge? If you're an Amberite and you think you are, then I only have two words for you: Prove It. The tone of this adventure is supposed to be light-hearted and fun, but things could get bloody, depending on the demeanor of the players.

GM - Jeremy Labrosse

Conflict: Orion Sector (PG - partially) Accepting 4-7 players

A derelict spacecraft has been located in the Orion Sector, and a number of rival powers have expressed interest in recovering the ship, or more specifically the ship's contents. You have been hired by the Prime Minister of EarthGov to retrieve the two cryo-tubes within the ship before they fall into the hands of the mega-corps or the changeling minions of the Chaosian Empire. 125 points. No Pattern/Logrus/Trump/Magic. No Intelligent Constructs. Items/implants are encouraged. Check the website for details. http://www-personal.umich.edu/~matvey/ambercon/

GM - Matthew Richardson 17

New Millennia (sequel to End of Days) (NA) Accepting 7 players

Straightway I was in the Spirit: and behold, there was a throne set in heaven, like an emerald to look upon and out of the throne proceed lightnings and voices and thunders; and one sitting upon the throne; he that sat was to look upon like a wall-street broker with a self-satisfied smirk. (Rev.4:2-3,5) The second great war in Celestial Realm is over and Lucifer has assumed the eternal throne. Fearful of the consequences of prolonged chaos on Earth, the assembled Heads of Pantheons with Lucifer as mediator, are engaged in a summit meeting. The intent is to create a Great Covenant outlining limits to the direct influence the gods may exercise in the mortal realms. Unfortunately a choir of angels, refusing to accept the new status quo, has gone rogue on earth and engages in heavy opposition to Heaven's new regime. Players will create their own demigod characters based on 50 points. Have a nice concept for both sides of the family (mortal and immortal) if you can. Happy and successful players will have visited my website (www.online.emich.edu/~jschippe/jlshome.htm) for the rules and will have created a character via email (jschippe@online.emich.edu) before the game. If you haven't made a character before the game, be available during the con (Sat. night dinner at the latest) to make a character. This will hopefully be the first of many loosely (but non-campaign) scenarios at future Ambercons. Please remember that this game has nothing to do with Amber at All! Players who complete their character (and clear it with John) before the convention may have an additional 5 points to design their character with.

GM - John Shippers

Quips & Bounds (SW) Accepting 4-7 players

(Play Test - sequel to Cracks & Shards) The Jewel of Judgement has been put back together after you misadventures on the Plane of magic. But did you get it back together properly? (You never really did explain what happened to Cedric's body, you know.) And did you return to the Right Amber for that matter? And are there any other consequences running about?; Or running about the castle, more specifically? ... And you're just positive that Random's going to hold you accountable for the mess, and sweeping it up ... (An action/comedy sequel to Cracks & Shards, inspired by T. Pratchett and lack of sleep ... ) Emphasis on role-playing. 175 pt restriction. No advanced powers. Earlier participation in Cracks & Shards a must.

Doppelgangers (FF) Accepting 5-8 players

The raging continues, unabated and (thankfully) elsewhere. You've made it, but at what cost? Where are you? How did you escape and from who/what? What now? And who are these ragged others staring at you in confusion? At least you know who you are: Dworkin Barimen. Now what else are you forgetting? Players bring a version of Dworkin to play. GM may take liberties with your PC memories/identity. Players need to be open minded and flexible with character concept. Advanced level of play.

GM - George Gitari

Avalon Knights (Creation) Accepting 4-8 players

Beyond the River of the Blessed, long ago, was a place of silver and shade and cool waters: Avalon. Mighty knights served its sorcerer Lord, defending the land with unquestioning loyalty. But one day that loyalty was tested, when Lord Corwin fell victim to madness and sent his knights on an impossible quest. Players will create on-site characters native to Avalon, the Shadow where Corwin ruled centuries ago. Intermediate level of play.

GM - Mike Manolakes *

Trumps are Complex (SW) Accepting 7-8 players

GM - Jon English

Of Light and Darkness: the Maelstrom (NA) Accepting 4-6 players

"The Gods, unable to rest, had to suffer..." Mesopotamian Epic of Creation. Time has begun, and the world made -- now is the time for the Second Age.

Players must have participated in any of the "Of Light and Darkness: the Kindling" games over the last year and use the previous character in original or modified form. Think about your followers: descriptions of their civilization and worship of you. Intermediate level of play.

GM - Rachel Holmberg

Kill Julian (SW) Accepting 6 players

When they marched you here along the Black Road, they said, "Go on, do what you're best at: loot, terrorize, destroy. Amber will be just another Black Zone Shadow within turnings." But then Julian came along, on that honking big horse ... with his hawks watching everywhere, and his demonscale-tearing dogs, and his Rangers who are just suddenly there in the creepy all-green foliage at exactly the wrong moment. Command says the defense of Arden will crumble without Julian to run it. The Lords call you a lesser creature, but look who they send when they want something done . Starts with an auction where you will make your own 100-point monster or demon of Chaos. BYO attitude.

Backstabbin' Blues (CR) Accepting 6 players

"It was a typical night in Texorami ... mild, long, and boisterous under a clear sky. Everything had been normal - the wine, the women, the cards; even the crowd seemed no worse or better than before." Random paused for a drink, favoring his left arm. "I'd no idea what would happen next, or how the world could change with just one game." Pre-Patternfall War, Amber setting; knowledge of poker useful. Run previously at U-Con 1998 in Ann Arbor, MI. Note: this game may run over 11AM - ?

GM - Kristen Gibbs

Party Like It's 1999 (SW) Accepting 4-7 players

GM - Sol Foster

Izzy's World of Insufficient Light (CR) Accepting 4-8 players

Romance! Adventure! Bunnies! (Note: There will be NO romancing the bunnies!!) On Shadow Earth (or near enough), a small group answers an odd and enigmatic call to save the world from a power-mad undead cabal and visit a major theme park. We'll be having a little intrigue, some action, and a fair bit of madness, with a dash of romance thrown in as time and what's left of our sanity permit. Characters will be Shadow-ignorant and Shadow-incapable, but they must have some sort of connection to the supernatural. We'll be using an altered character system (it's simple; don't be afraid), so bring ideas -- not stats. E-mail LogrusBoy@aol.com or Izzy8Bunny@aol.com, if you'd like. You can e-mail other folks, but they'll be of rather less help with the game ...
