Carlos IV, King of Spain, has abdicated, and so has Ferdinand, his son. Napoleon's brother, Joseph, now wears the crown, but most in Spain do not consider him their king, especially the troop of "Fernandinos" who currently hold the town of San Dismas and its important bridge. Bonaparte's "Josefinos" want control of the bridge, and are prepared to fight their fellow Spaniards to get it. The house rules for miniatures combat of the Blackmoor Bunch. A variant of the 1880 professional war-game rules by Charles Totten. Hosted by Ross Maker: Close friend of Dave Arneson, game author, historical miniatures expert, & 1st person to play a dwarf character. Miniatures provided.

The perfect way to begin your last day of gaming at ArneCon.
"Mochas and..." is becoming a tradition at ArneCon. Every year Griff Morgan picks something different to showcase over breakfast. Last year we played TFT: Melee. This year we'll try playing Original D&D Holmes Basic Set rules set in a classic dungeon.
Grab some coffee, or breakfast, and then sit back and enjoy a fun session of D&D.
The game is introductory level and has almost no rules to it, I'm not kidding, as the rule book is only 44 pages long!
I will be using the original Zenopus dungeon + some minor additions of my own. In the grand tradition of Original D&D expect a lot of character deaths - no worries though, as you'll get to make another immediately and rejoin the adventure party!
If you choose to join the adventure your goal is simple, make new friends and have fun.
Hosted by Griffith Morgan (Secrets of Blackmoor, The Lost Dungeons of Tonisborg, and Blackmoor Foundations)

Ronin Wong, one of the original co-authors, referees a session of "Paradise Lost" - a Shadowrun 2E adventure published by FASA. A top team goes to Hawai’i to retrieve an extremely valuable prototype from the clutches of a ruthless megacorp and terrorist organziation.

Ronin started playing RPGs in 1980 when he found the Holmes Basic D&D set. Initially playing solo due to the lack of other gamers, he later became a DM for a group of AD&D players, despite having never seen a group play before. His unique DMing style, which involved fully portraying NPCs with voices and mannerisms, was initially surprising to the players but they ended up enjoying it. In the 90s, Ronin co-wrote the adventure "Paradise Lost" for Shadowrun 2nd edition with Nigel Findley and contributed to the Denver Boxed Set for Shadowrun. Instead of pursuing RPG writing full-time, Ronin pursued a career in music, film, and television, working as an actor, musician, composer, writer, and director. His acting career includes appearances in "Kung Fu," "Man in the High Castle," "Outer Limits," and "DC’s Legends of Tomorrow." He is best known for his role in season 4 of "The Sinner," now available on Netflix.

Robert Kuntz referees a session of “Into the Wild Blue Yonder”, an adventure written by him specially for ArneCon 2, using AD&D 1E rules. This is his first appearance in the US in about 10 years!

Kuntz is the last designer standing from the Golden Age of D&D’s inception. Co-author of the Greyhawk supplement (1975) & Gods, Demi-Gods & Heroes (1976), and Dragon Magazine columnist. Friends with both Gygax and Arneson, he participated in the Blackmoor demo game wherein Arneson revealed to Gygax and the Lake Geneva Tactical Studies Association (LGTSA) that he had created a new category of games: the RPG paper and pencil adventure game.
