Western Canada’s Largest Tabletop Gaming Convention! Join us March 14-16, 2025, at the Vancouver Convention Centre - East (aka Canada Place) in Vancouver, BC, Canada.
It’s been in the works for months, but tonight the curtain rises on a performance for the ages. On this most auspicious evening, the elites of Doskvol will be congregating at the Sandoral Opera House to witness the great debut of "The Star-Thief," a new opera commissioned by and written for the Immortal Emperor himself. All those well-heeled nobles will be there for the show… but you’ll be there for something else. Tonight, you and your crew of rogues and scoundrels will infiltrate the most celebrated event of the season to complete the heist of a lifetime. The plans are set, the bribes have been paid, and everything you have in this world is riding on this scheme. Succeed, and you and your kin can escape from the gutters of Doskvol. Fail, and the Bluecoats will ensure you spend the rest of your short life locked up in Ironhook prison... if they don't just dump what's left of you in the river.

Meta Description The Foundation and GOC are too busy to deal with this mess, so it's up to the FBI's Unusual Instances Unit to investigate the anomaly! Take on the role of the underfunded, underinformed, and underprepared agents of the UIU as you explore a mysterious Home Depot and attempt to locate the missing residents of Lost Springs. We'll be playing a slightly edited C'Thulu Dark; added a background die and removed the force-a-fail feature that I've found just adds bad vibes rather than fun.
New Years Eve, 1986. High in the Rocky Mountains, the decrepit Doverdale Lodge is ablaze with activity as the staff greet the well-monied revellers who have booked the hotel for an opulent party. Travellers from all over the world are arriving at the hotel tonight, the booze is flowing freely and the band is tuning up to play waltzes until the ball drops. It promises to be a party for the ages.
You arrive at this party as an uninvited guest, here at the behest of an old friend, Diego Matteo, who insisted on your presence here tonight. You learned through your circles that a few others have also received similar invitations, each of whom were trusted friends of Diego in past decades… which makes the invitation even more unusual. Diego hasn’t spoken to you in years, and to have him resurface now in such a manner raises more questions than his letter can answer. With a quiet hint of dread in your mind, you find yourself boarding the small shuttle bus that will take you up the snowy roads, towards the sole blaze of light high in the peaks above the sleepy mountain town.
