WELCOME TO THE 2013 KC GAME FAIR!We hope to make this an enjoyable and memorable gaming convention for all attendees. This booklet should contain the information you need, but if you have questions, please ask at the registration desk.

WHAT IS THE KC GAME FAIR?The KC Game Fair brings several long standing KC area gaming conventions under one roof. This year, the KC Game Fair is being run as a private enterprise venture with the Role-Players Guild of Kansas City continuing in the role of event coordinators.

WHICH GROUPS ARE PARTICIPATING?For 2013, the groups include The Role-players Guild of KansasCity, Ltd. (ShaunCon), HAHMGS – Heart of America Historical Miniatures Gaming Society (BorderWars) and the Metro Game League (Blockhead! board game convention).

WHAT TYPES OF GAMES ARE AVAILABLE?This year’s offering includes board games, historical and other miniatures war gaming, role-playing games and card games.

MISCELLANEOUS RULESAll PLAYERS must have appropriate convention badge. Spectators are welcome; please see the Registration Desk for information. KC Game Fair reserves the right to request that any guest leave the convention premises should staff deem with cause that the attendee’s behavior, demeanor, or presence negatively impacts others at the convention.

Events must occur at their scheduled table/locations unless their relocation is approved by convention staff. Games or events may NOT be moved to private hotel rooms or other areas of the hotel.

The selling or advertising of merchandise by unauthorized dealers within the convention areas is prohibited. If you want to sell anything to anyone, you must purchase a dealer’s table or place the item in the Gamers’ Garage Sale. This includes individual card or game sales.

Flyers and advertisements for events, groups and stores beyond the convention may be placed on the flyer table. They may not be handed out in manner that disrupts events or suggests support from KC Game Fair.

The Role-Players Guild of Kansas City and KC Game Fair are committed in all areas to providing a fun and safe environment


that is free from harassment. Harassment based upon an individual’s sex, race, ethnicity, national origin, age, religion or any other legally protected characteristics will not be tolerated. All attendees, spectators, staff and guests are all expected to abide by this policy.

Children under the age of 12 years of age must have an accountable parent or guardian supervising them. KC Game Fair takes no responsibility for supervision of children, either as attendees or as non-attendee guests.

All events are subject to substitution or cancellation without prior notice. We don’t plan to do this, but it is often out of our control.

In consideration of other gamers (and city ordinance), smoking is not allowed in any convention area.

FEATURED ACTIVITIES

BENEFIT RAFFLEKC Game Fair is holding a benefit event for Harvestors again this year. Help us help those in need by attending the raffle Saturday at 6:00 pm. Purchase tickets at the Convention HQ/RPGKC desk. Harvesters is a local food bank, which is a centralized food collection and distribution facility that provides food and household products to agencies serving people in need. In 2008, Harvesters distributed more than 28 million pounds of food and household products in our 13-county direct service area in and around Kansas City. For more information go to www.harvesters.org.

GAMERS’ GARAGE SALEThe garage sale is run by the Role-Players Guild of Kansas City and features items from con attendees. It is open during most of the convention. To purchase items, browse the table and find what you want. Take it to the checkout -- no bidding or hassles.

To sell items, you need a GGS Registration Form, available at Con HQ/RPGKC. Fill in your name, address, phone number and an item description plus your price for each item. Prices must be in 50-cent increments. Place a price and number on your item and place it on the sale tables. You may check out at any time by picking up your unsold items and the money for the items that have been sold; picture ID will be required.

The Role-Players Guild of Kansas City will keep a 10% commission from your total sales to help support their not for profit activities. That is, if the asking price for your sold items totals $25.00, you will receive $22.50, as the Guild keeps 10%

($2.50). Any items left unclaimed at the end of the convention become property of the Role-Players Guild of Kansas City.

All items are sold as-is, and the Guild takes no responsibility for any missing pieces, damaged, or otherwise undesirable items. There is a 20-item limit per attendee, and items must be related to gaming. You must be a member of Role-Players Guild of Kansas City to sell items in the sale.

HEROES OF ROKUGAN: TOYS FOR TOTS DRIVEThe Heroes of Rokugan event staff will be collecting toys for the Toys for Tots program.

Any Heroes of Rokugan player who brings one or more toys to donate will receive a “cert” for a free experience point for one character. This can be used now, or saved for later (maximum gained is one experience point). KC Game Fair participants are encouraged to bring toys for donation even if they will not benefit from the experience point bonus. The standard restrictions apply to donated toys: new, unwrapped toys only. There has been an expressed need that toys for teens are especially in demand, though any toys for children of all ages are welcome and accepted.

Note: If you want to ensure your experience point, be sure to coordinate your donation with the Heroes of Rokugan staff!

The KC Game Fair would like to acknowledge the support and offer thanks to the dealers, organizations and companies for prize, raffle and support this year.


GAME INDUSTRY ATTENDEES

ADAM COOMESAdam Coomes is a serial entrepreneur, technologist, Magic the Gathering player, and game enthusiast. Coomes co-founded Infegy, a successful local software company that revolutionized social market research and grew organically into a multi-million dollar corporation. He also helped start Zaarly, a hyper-local marketplace for service providers that evolved from a 3-day project into one of the fastest moving early-stage companies in history. Coomes runs an annual entrepreneur event called One Week KC, helping connect and grow the local entrepreneur community.

In 2012, Adam began pursuing his true passion: games. He started the company Keymash to experiment with his ideas, focusing mostly on board and card games. This lead to his latest creation, Machines - an easy to learn, hard to master strategy card game.

Adam was named as one of Bloomberg BusinessWeek’s “Best Young Tech Entrepreneurs” and a “Top 20 In Their Twenties” by Ingram’s Magazine. Follow @adamcoomes on Twitter.

LOREN & JAMIE CUNNINGHAMWIBAI Games was formed by husband and wife team Loren & Jamie Cunningham of Lenexa, KS. Loren & Jamie have been board game enthusiasts for over 10 years and have been creating their own board games for almost that long. They decided to form a board game company “Wouldn’t It Be Awesome If?” Games in 2013 to support the launch of a Kickstarter project “Transylvania: Curses & Traitors” coming to Kickstarter in the Spring of 2014. More information about WIBAI Games and Loren & Jamie can be found at www.wibaigames.com and they may be contacted at [email protected].

Sterling previously contributed to the d6, d20 and Saga Edition versions of the game, as well as the Star Wars Miniatures Game. Sterling is also one of the authors of the ENnie award winning D&D 4e Monster Vault: Threats to the Nentir Vale, and contributes regularly to Dungeon and Dragon magazines through D&D Insider.

BENJAMIN ROGERSBen Rogers, first and foremost, has been married to his beautiful wife for almost 25 years. Their seven children are avid gamers and his oldest (Victoria) accompanied him to Gen Con and game mastered dozens of events in 2012 and 2013. His first foray into game publication began in the early 1990s, with several adventures and supplemental material published in various gaming periodicals. After some involvement with startups that produced “vaporware,” Ben gathered his close associates and together they put out “Promised Sands” in 2003. Shortly thereafter, he disappeared from the gaming industry (“lost his day job and had to refocus his life”). But, never lost sight of the joy of roleplaying, Ben brought together a new group of associates, created a new game system, acquired the rights to Promised Sands and began to develop additional properties. Sixcess Core was released at Gen Con 2013. Promised Sands was successfully kickstarted in October 2013, Invasion of the Fourth Reich released in November 2013, and ElfWood is (as of this publication) currently on Kickstarter. Future plans include: Extraordinary Voyages (steampunk), Mytharia (high fantasy), StarDust (sci-fi) and Tribulum (horror). Ben is the Product Manager for Harsh Realities, LLC.

He can be reached at: [email protected] and his Twitter feed is @SixcessBen. Facebook page is: www.facebook.com/HarshRealities6S.

EVENT SIGN-UP - HOW TO PLAY New players trying out a miniatures game or RPG for the first time should seek out demonstration games, when available.

Gamemasters are usually willing to take on new players in most events, though a few events may require more experienced players.

If you have questions about what game to play, please see the convention staff for suggestions and aid.

ROLE-PLAYING EVENTSTo schedule role playing events, we use a combination of online registration, an on-site sign-up sheet and a marshaling system. Pre-registering online for an event prior to the convention is the best way to get into a game. However, it is still possible to play by sigining up at the convention. Pre-registered players do get the benefit of filling the first available slots in a game.

If you want to play in an event and haven’t already pre-registered online, go to the sign-up area and write your name on the event’s sign-up sheet. The sheet will list a table number for the event. At the event’s starting time, report to the table listed. If more than one table is needed, the judge will send the players to the appropriate table. Please show up on time. You MUST attend the marshaling at the table; do not assume that you can get in an event simply because your name is on the form. The order of names on the list is the order of priority should there be more players than space available. Players who pre-registered will have their names already printed on the sign up sheets and get first priority.

BOARD GAME EVENTSScheduled Board GamesLike our role-playing events, we use online pre-registration and an on-site sign-up sheet to coordinate gameplay for our board game events. Pre-registrations fill the available slots first, but you can always sign up on-site if the game isn’t full. Any board games on the event list will start at the scheduled time unless otherwise specified in the event’s description. Once you’ve signed-up to play, just got to your event’s table and have some fun.

Pick-Up Board GamesThere is a library of board games available for play at any time during the con. To start a pick-up game, simply write the name of the game on the whiteboard along with a start time and the number of players with names next to people wanting to play. For example:

TICKET TO RIDE 2PM SATURDAY1. John Smith2. Joe Cool3.4.

Other players may sign up. At the given time, select an open table and confirm its availability with con staff. The judges can also teach games and play along if an extra person is needed.


Here is a sampling of what you can expect to find in the library this year. If you don’t see your favorite, bring a copy with you. We have open tables for just this sort of thing.

Agricola Antike Apples to Apples Axis and Allies Battlestar Galactica Carcassonne: Hunters and Gatherers Die Macher Dominion Kingsburg Mystery of the Abbey On the Underground Order of the Stick Power Grid Ricochet Robot Robo Rally Telestrations Thurn and Taxis Ticket to Ride Marklin Edition Tigris and Euphrates TransAmerica Tsuro Vegas Showdown Wits and Wagers

MINIATURES EVENTSMiniature events use the same online pre-registration and on-site sign-up process as our other events. If you’ve pre-registered online, you will already be on the sign-up sheet. If you need to sign-up, go to the sign-up area and add your name to the sign-up sheet of the game you wish to play. If you find the sign-up sheet for a game is full, go over and ask if they can fit you in anyway. Sometimes they may be able to accommodate you. However, you may have to wait a couple of turns for reinforcements to arrive.

New players - do not be put off by the size of the table or the number of figures. You will only be handling a small part of them along with the other players on your side. All you really need to know in a miniatures game is, how far you move, how far you shoot, and when in the turns you do each. Everything else isn’t necessary to know until it occurs. Gamemasters will be there to guide players through any complications that occur. After a couple of turns, you will find that you and the other players have grasped the game and will only need to turn to the game master for the oddball occurrences.

Don’t panic if you break something on the soldiers. This happens. Keep a hold of the broken part and tell the person running the game. They will put it in their repair box and the game will go on.

OTHER EVENTSAttendees seeking other events should report to the area outlined by the Marshall prior to the event start time. If you have questions about the event, refer to the listed event judge to clarify them well in advance of the event.

Leviathans DemonstrationIn 1878 the Polish genius Rynchowski isolated an electrical fluid with remarkable lifting capabilities. A single, pivotal event that would change the world. The smartest military minds of the coming generation—Zeppelin, Jellico, Fisher and others—diverted their attention to the glorious new technological revolution and sea-going battleships were abandoned around the world. In their place, armored giants took to the skies. In 1906, Great Britain launched the HMS Leviathan, the first of the “super air ships”, sparking an arms race around the world. By 1910 the most powerful nations boasted large High Fleets, and the start of small skirmishes left the world uneasy…welcome to Leviathans! This event will teach players the basics of Leviathans combat.Fr2p Sa2p

OgreOGRE is a tactical ground combat games set in the not-so-distant future. In 2085 A.D., armored warfare continues - faster and deadlier than ever. Hovercraft, tanks and infantry slug it out with tactical nuclear devices. But the most feared weapon of all needs no human guidance. It’s a giant cybernetic tank called the OGRE. The basic OGRE game gives one player a force of infantry and armor, and a command post he must defend. The other player has only one unit - but it’s an OGRE. It’s an even match.Sa9a

Operation TURBINETry out the beta playtest version of a new dueling game played with miniatures and driven by cards, where weapon-encrusted hover-tanks battle it out in the arenas of the future for the greater glory of their corporate sponsors. Designed and hosted by Jeff Tidball, the designer of Horus Heresy, Cthulhu 500, and Pieces of Eight.Fr9a Fr2p Sa8p

Power GridThe object of Power Grid is to supply the most cities with power when someone’s network gains a predetermined size. In this new edition, players mark pre-existing routes between cities for connection, and then bid against each other to purchase the power plants that they use to power their cities. However, as plants are purchased, newer, more efficient plants become available, so by merely purchasing, you’re potentially allowing others access to superior equipment. Additionally, players must acquire the raw materials (coal, oil, garbage, and uranium)

needed to power said plants (except for the ‘renewable’ windfarm/ solar plants, which require no fuel), making it a constant struggle to upgrade your plants for maximum efficiency while still retaining enough wealth to quickly expand your network to get the cheapest route.Sa8p

Space AlertSpace Alert is a team survival game. Players take on the role of a crew of space explorers sent out through hyperspace to survey a dangerous sector of the Galaxy. The spaceship automatically maps the sector in 10 minutes. The crew’s task is to defend the ship until the mission is complete. If they succeed, the ship brings back valuable data. If they fail… it is time to train a new crew. Space Alert is not a typical board game. Players do not compete against each other. Instead, they work together against the challenge presented by the game. The difficult of this challenge can be chosen by the players themselves. Completing the most difficult missions requires close teamwork.Fr9a

Zombicide gamebox Each player controls between one (for 6 players) and four (solo game) survivors, human trapped in a zombie-infested town. In fact, “survivors” quickly change to “hunters” to smash zombies through and through. However, the team must constantly maintain a balance between survival and slaughter, for as the zombicide continues, the Danger Level increases, and the infected grow in numbers. Any misstep can turn to disaster. Zombicide is a fun and easy game with cool miniatures in an archetypical, popular and comics-inspired environment. Ambiance is constantly balanced between “beat’em up” and “survival horror” as survivors keep switching from prey to predators. Humor and gloom happily marry in a zombie-fest.Fr9a Su9a

Dungeon Crawl Classics: The Portal Under the StarsThis is a zero level adventure for 6 players. Pre-generated characters will be provided. “For long years, you labored in the fields like all the peasants, sweating hot and dirty in the summer, only to shiver under threadbare hides when winter came. This year’s harvest ended like all the rest, and autumn’s work was hard on Old Man Roberts. When you visited his bedside at the end, he spoke in labored breaths of constellations that hadn’t been seen since he was a young lad. The last time the Empty Star had risen in the sky, it was more than fifty winters past, he said. Under the light of that strange star a portal had opened by the old stone mounds. He’d seen jewels in there and fine steel spears and enameled armor, but he’d run when the iron men had attacked. Now, old and dying, he wishes he’d taken the chance on a life of adventure. The Empty Star is once more rising, and a youngster with courage could be more than

just another peasant, if only he or she take the chance Old Man Robert hadn’t.” Sa2p

Mississippi Queen... Of the damnedThe “Mississippi Queen” is the newest steamer to stir the waters of the ol’ muddy (The Mississippi, for you greenhorns out there). It was commissioned by a Creole city-slicker by the name of Francois Boudreaux, who has touted it as the greatest and specifically, “fastest” steamer to grace the divided states of America. Taking offense to this preposterous statement, John W. Cannon, the Capt. of the Robert E. Lee (the winner of the great river race of 1870) has thrown down the gauntlet and asked the cocky creole for a race to end all races. Accepting the challenge, Boudreaux has declared that he will make an event out of the affair, by holding a 3-day “winner-take-all” poker tournament with a 25k buy-in during the course of the race.

PFS #4-18 The Veteran’s VaultA Pathfinder Society Scenario for levels 1–5.

When one such Pathfinder approaches the Grand Lodge with the hidden location of her treasure vault, it falls upon a new generation of Pathfinders to retrieve from within a valuable keepsake. That they can keep anything other than the ex-Pathfinder’s locket makes the assignment all the sweeter.Fr9a

PFS #4-19 The Night March of KalkamedesA Pathfinder Society Scenario for levels 1–5. A veteran Pathfinder exploring the Fenwall Mountains of Varisia has begun sleepwalking, traveling through the dead of night in the same direction each time. The following mornings, however, he awakens injured and lost in the wilderness, never reaching the mysterious destination that drew him from his bed in the night. Something is calling Kalkamedes, something powerful, but unless he can make it safely to the source of his somnambulism, that power will remain a mystery. It falls to a team of Pathfinders to escort the sleepwalker to his destination and uncover the true nature of the strange phenomenon overtaking Kalkamedes’s dreams. Su9a

PFS #4-22 Glories of the Past – Part I: HallA Pathfinder Society Scenario for levels 5–9. The dwarven sky citadel of Janderhoff in eastern Varisia is one of the least visited settlements in the land, at least by non-dwarves. Nevertheless, the Pathfinder Society has been invited to assist in the excavation of a forgotten ruin within the large underground complex. What the fearless adventurers stand to find within could be the greatest discovery of the Age of Lost Omens, something sure to immortalize all involved in the pages of the Pathfinder Chronicles for ever more. But the ruins under Janderhoff aren’t the end of the Pathfinders’ journey; rather they illuminate a treacherous path ahead, from the familiar land of Varisia into much more dangerous territory.Fr7p

PFS #4-24 Glories of the Past – Part II: TheA Pathfinder Society Scenario for levels 5–9. The Pathfinder Society has discovered the hint of a monumental revelation, but in order to confirm their find, they must send a team of agents into the dangerous and unwelcoming orc-ruled Hold of Belkzen. While an expedition could easily be dispatched to the orc capital of Urgir, the Decemvirate urges caution to ensure success. Thus, a team of Pathfinders must seek out a guide in the Varisian orc city of Urglin. Can they navigate the treacherous city of denizens who wouldn’t mind seeing them dead, or will the orcs’ Second Home be the site of their final mission? Sa9a

PFS #4-25 Glories of the Past – Part III: ThA Pathfinder Society Scenario for levels 5–9. Deep beneath the orc city of Urgir in the Hold of Belkzen lie the ruins of the ancient dwarven Sky Citadel of Koldukar, where awaits what could be the greatest discovery of the Age of Lost Omens: confirmation of the location of one of the lost Sky Citadels, built by the dwarves in their earliest days on the surface of Golarion. But reaching their destination won’t be easy for the Pathfinders, and only the most skilled will survive Urgir and the terrors guarding the dwarves’ long-abandoned secrets. Can they uncover the location of the lost Sky Citadel, or will the Pathfinders suffer the same fate as Koldukar—defeat at the hands of ruthless orcs and centuries of decay under the earth?Sa2p

PFS #4-26 The Walking Rune A Pathfinder Society Scenario for levels 7–11. After a year of searching and risking life and limb, the agents of the Pathfinder Society have discovered the resting place of the Runelord of Sloth, who has been sequestered from the world at large for 10,000 years awaiting the proper time for his return. Thanks to the efforts of the sinister cult of Lissala, that time is now. In a desperate attempt to defeat this ancient evil once and for all, the Decemvirate sends its best agents, armed with relics found throughout ancient Thassilon, to foil the cult’s last-ditch efforts to usher in a new era of tyranny and strife. Will the party succeed in preventing Krune’s return to Golarion, or will


the Pathfinder Society serve simply as a speed-bump in the runelord’s path to domination over the entire region?Su2p

PFS #5-02 The Wardstone PatrolA Pathfinder Society Scenario for levels 3-7. All-out war has erupted on the long-contested border between the crusader nation of Mendev and the demon-infested Worldwound. With the magical defenses that once held the demons at bay failing, defense of the region now falls to small patrols of mobile soldiers to resupply, reinforce, and communicate between the border’s many fortresses and outposts. With so much at stake, the Pathfinder Society has enlisted many of its agents to assist in the war effort, both to protect its own interests and to prevent the onrushing tide of demonic attackers from plunging the entire Inner Sea region into chaos. On one such wardstone patrol, however, the party may find itself facing an enemy of an entirely different nature.Fr2p

PFS #5-03 The Hellknight’s FeastA Pathfinder Society Scenario for characters of 5th to 9th level (Tier 5–9).

The Pathfinder Society, at the urging of Silver Crusade leader Ollysta Zadrian, arranges a formal banquet to be hosted by newlyweds Michellia and Damian Blakros, at which the society’s agents can attempt to sway the political opinions of Absalom’s movers and shakers. Will the Pathfinders succeed in securing the much-needed military support of Absalom and other nations bordering the Inner Sea, or will the crusaders and Pathfinders fighting on the front lines in Mendev find themselves standing alone before the demonic hordes? Su2p

PFS #5-05 The Elven EntanglementA Pathfinder Society Scenarios for levels 7–11.

Can the Pathfinders extract the lost elves from the depths of Tanglebriar, or will they become the latest casualties of Treerazer’s domain?Fr9a Su9a

We Be Goblins!A most unusual adventure for 1st-level goblin characters. The Licktoad goblins of Brinestump Marsh have stumbled upon a great treasure—fireworks! Yet unfortunately for them, the tribe member responsible for the discovery has already been exiled for the abhorrent crime of writing (which every goblin knows steals words from your head). To remedy this situation, the Licktoads’ leader, His Mighty Girthness Chief Rendwattle Gutwad, has declared that the greatest heroes of the tribe must venture forth to retrieve the rest of the fireworks from a derelict ship stranded in the marsh. In order to prove themselves as the Licktoads’ bravest goblins, the PCs must complete a series of dangerous dares, from swallowing bull slugs and braving the dreaded Earbiter to dancing with Squealy Nord himself. Yet even once they’ve proven their mettle, the adventure is just beginning. For the ship in question is far from uninhabited, and Vorka the cannibal goblin would like nothing better than a few tasty visitors....Fr9a Sa2p

We Be Goblins Too!Character level 3 The Licktoads, once the great and fierce goblin tribe in Brinestump Marsh, were defeated by human adventurers!

Homeless and bored, they left their swampy homeland to join the neighboring goblin tribe, the Birdcrunchers. The good news is that the Birdcrunchers are willing to let the goblin heroes


join their tribe. The better news is that the Birdcrunchers have heard of these four, and want one of them to become their new chieftain. The bad news is that before the goblins can join, they’ll need to endure a series of dangerous and humiliating tests. Very dangerous. Very humiliating. The worse news is that lately Birdcruncher chieftains have had really short lifespans—they’re being killed by the pet fire-breathing boar of a local ogre who wants the Birdcruncher land as his own. Can the four heroes of the now-dead Licktoad tribe save the Birdcrunchers and, in so doing, become their new leaders? Fr2p Sa9a
