Gary Con X – Old Skool Sneak Peek (2018)
November 11th, 2017
Conventions, Gary Con
My events have been submitted for Gary Con X (March 2018). Now in its tenth year, Gary Con is held in honor of Gary Gygax in Lake Geneva, WI (the place where the Gygax family lived, the first Gen Con was held, and TSR (the publisher of D&D) was based). It’s a convention celebrating a “life well-played”.
Below is a sneak peek at the WEGS Old Skool Fantasy events that have been submitted so far. A few Shuffling Horror events are snuck in there, too. WEGS event blurbs follow.

THE WEGS OLD SKOOL BLURBS
Elf. Dwarf. Magic-User. Thief. (BOSS RULES)
Full-throttle dungeon fun with the BOSS (Basic Old Skool System). The BOSS pays homage to Holmes Edition style adventure. We start by rolling up characters and then heroically set forth to the dungeon! Honed for simple, fast-paced play, the BOSS rules are a bare bones version of WEGS Old Skool Fantasy RPG. Great system intro. No XP required. Stirge repellant recommended.
The Caves of Utter Chaos (BOSS RULES)
You’ve heard of the Caves of Chaos, perhaps? Well, these are the caves below those caves that nobody dares enter. Get ready for all-out dungeoncrawling fun with the BOSS (Basic Old Skool System). Full-blown heroes will be created in minutes and then we enter a dungeon brimming with terrible foes, nasty traps, and treasure galore. Great system intro. No XP required. Don’t forget those iron spikes!
Tomb of Utter Horror (WOSF)
Fresh meat welcome. Are you destined to be just another stain on the floor in this demented romp into a Demi-Lich’s tomb? Or have you got what it takes to avoid the insane traps, battle grisly guardians, and escape with the loot??!? Come join our little tomb-plundering expedition to find out. Rules taught. Just don’t get too attached to your character…
