It is the present day. Nations compete for prominence and power on the international stage. Everything is business as usual until the arrival of visitors from beyond the stars. Are they here to abduct, terrorize, invade...or for some other purpose?
Watch the Skies is a megagame about international relations, conflict, and high level diplomacy. It incorporates elements of role-play and strategy in a hybrid of board game, RPG, and political simulation (e.g. Model UN). The majority of the players represent scientists, diplomats, military leaders, and heads of state of the world's most influential nations with a smaller group of players representing aliens from outer space.
Will you band together to fight the alien menace or find ways to communicate with aliens who may simply come in peace?
Watch the Skies is a megagame for up to 40 players representing up to 8 nations, 2 news outlets, and aliens from outer space. The game focuses on themes of global politics in an near-future sci-fi setting.
Fae's Anatomy
Designer: John Keyworth, Patrick Rose and Holly Walls
Location: TBD
Date: TBD
Time: TBD
Cost: $40
"There's an epidemic of Green Fingers, the hospital porters are demanding more mana, and the head nurse keeps turning into a cat. Just another day in the world's premier magical hospital."
Research ancient magical secrets, embark on quests for rare herbs, or balance the departmental budget - then head home to your magical commune to plan the next community celebration. Fae's Anatomy is a relatively cooperative megagame with strong elements of resource management, creativity, and communication.
You will effectively be part of two teams - your hospital department, and your home commune - with minimal overlap between the two. Work with your commune to ensure your department's needs are supplied - but make sure your contributions are recognised! While the communes generally get along well, there's plenty of room for friendly one-upmanship between them.
"Other than that, it should be quite a quiet, peaceful day. The Magical Research Department says something strange is happening with the leylines, but it's probably nothing to worry about..."
Fae's Anatomy is a megagame for up to 32 players. The game focuses on themes of urban fantasy medical drama and whimsy.
