INFO REQUIRED FOR GAME SUBMISSION

Title, a brief description of the game (3-4 sentences will usually do), GM(s), min/max number of players, slot requested (no guarantees, but will try to accomodate requests), type of characters (pre-gen, bring your own, etc.), any special information the players might want to know (the game is a Throne War, there is a chance a character may not survive, very political theme, etc.). We may also want to note that a GM may request two slots if s/he thinks the game will require more than four hours.

Game selection will be first come, first served based on registration date (the first person to register gets first choice, the second person chooses next, etc.). We will begin slotting players into games on October 1.

Beasts of Amber: Beasts of the Caribbean
GM – John Karakash
Slot(s) – 7
Number of Players – 5
Description – Your beloved owners are once again in a quandry and you must rescue them again, but this time on the high seas! Can you face the terrors of the briny deep and survive the untold perils? (For those of you unfamiliar with the 'Beasts' games, you play a pet of an elder Amberite... Fiona's fluffy cat, Julian's parrot and so on.)

Faces of the Stranger

GMs - Jim McDonald and Connie Culpepper

Slot(s) - 6

Number of Players -10

Description - It's as if you've awakened from a dream...but you can't remember just what the dream was. In fact, you can't even remember exactly who you are. All you know is that you're here at this most unusual dinner with some most unusual people. You're sure you have some kind of connection with all of them, be it for good or ill.

Social Hour – Courts of Chaos Con Style! (Iron Chef meets creative madness)

Number of Players – However many want to try!

Description:

• Competitors may enter up to three dishes. (The more people who enter, the less food we have to make.)

• All dishes should be finger-type foods...nothing that requires a full set of cutlery to eat

• All entries should serve at least 15 appetizer-sized portions

• Plating is the responsibility of the chef. (Remember that presentation is part of the scoring.) Each participant is responsible to plate his/her entry, and to retrieve and wash the plating after the competition.

• Each participant must notify the Con Planning Committee by October 1 what dish(es) are being entered. (This way, if we need to plan for any additional dishes to make sure we've got enough food, we have time to do so. Also this allows us to be sure that we don't have seven plates of Stuffed Mushrooms and little else.)

• Individual plates and glasses will be provided by CCC.

• All dishes will be assigned a number. All dishes will be served next to a card identifying the dish and the dish number.

• All Con attendees will be given a score sheet listing the dishes and their identifying numbers. Attendees may vote for their two favorite dishes. All ballots must be submitted by 7:45 on the evening of the Social Hour to be counted.

• At 7:55, the results of the competition will be announced. The chef preparing the highest-rated dish will receive a $20 gift certificate to Jasmine's (where we will be having dinner on Saturday evening). In case of a tie, the winners will each receive a $10 gift certificate.
