Thu 13-00	PFS Module: Fangwood Keep (GM) Mendota 3 - 126 Fangwood Keep has changed hands innumerable times since its founding decades ago on the border between the warring nations of Molthune and Nirmathas. Over the years, both countries have sacrificed money and soldiers in an effort to control the fortress along the Marideth River valley, both for its tactical location and for its secure defenses. Recently, however, the battles around Fangwood Keep have dwindled to a trickle as Nirmathas has firmly rooted itself in the surrounding valley, allowing the tide of war to shift elsewhere and peace to settle at last over Fangwood Keep. This respite was shattered by the arrival of a renegade Molthuni commander named Pavo Vos. Obsessed with capturing Fangwood Keep and unraveling the fortress’s mysteries, the defecting lieutenant unlawfully used his platoon to secure the castle, much to the ire of both the Molthuni and Nirmathi governments. Now the task of bringing Vos to justice and reclaiming Fangwood Keep for Nirmathas lies solely in the PCs’ able hands. by Alex Greenshields lvl 3-5

Sat 09-12	Teens in Space - Peril in the Shell (GM) Mendota 1 - 143 You're juniors at the space academy. To fulfill the class project for Space History, your team decides to explore a derilict spaceship. It should have a lot of history seeing it's from the Herbacean-human war era. Or could contain the seed of your demise?

Sat 17-20	Traveller: Sit fodiens cave "Let the miner beware" (GM) Mendota 1 - 143 It sounded like too good a deal to pass up... Metallurgic sensors reported upwards of 90-grade ore. Is it worth ditching some of the current cargo? It's just below the surface, meaning short drilling times and fast setups. The payout outta be worth it. Pregens and mini's provided
Sat 20-23	Those Dark Places: Ana Sid Amid (GM) Mendota 2 - 138 You are sent to investigate and potentially salvage another corporation's transport vessel that has drifted into our corporation's space. Contact is minimal so far, so it could be in distress, or industrial espionage, or a diversion from the next corporate war? Character generation is straightforward, so we'll be making the new investigation team on the spot. Warning: Scenario by the game author involves elements of space horror ( aliens, outland ) both physical and mental. We'll tone down descriptions from the module to be non-extreme based on a family playtest. Yet people (NPCs) might have been or are injured on the Ana Sid Amid, and there might be altercations with whatever is still alive on that ship. Building character pressure may cause player characters to weaken as scenario events unfold. We'll strive for PG-13.
