PANEL: Unconventional Characters, Unconventional Worlds
2PM-3PM
Tired of playing dungeon crawlers, spaceship captains, super-heroes, angsty monsters, and all rest?

Godlike human beings in colorful costumes battle the forces of evil, with the whole world hanging in the balance! When you get right down to it, the super-hero genre is very straightforward in its approach, yet most of the time super-hero game systems get bogged down in math and complex mechanics and lose sight of the fun. Though you may not believe it, an RPG can recreate the thrills of your favorite comic book. This panel will tell you how.
Hobomancer: Suffer the Little Children
4PM-8PM
3-6 Players
GM: Josh LH Burnett

PANEL: RPG Action!
5PM-6PM
Most RPGs are based on genres that rely heavily on exciting, fast-paced action. Unfortunately, RPG action scenes rarely capture the excitement of the movies and books they’re based on--it’s hard to capture the urgency and coolness of action scenes when you’re busy referencing tables, doing math, and rolling a ton of dice. Hex Games is here to help.
PANEL: Horror Gaming: Monsters Unleashed
6PM-7PM
Most RPGs center around fighting monsters. After awhile, don't the monsters get a little repetitive? How can the GM keep things interesting, and keep the monsters scary? In this panel, the Hex Games crew provides some tips on creating monsters that are more than just another thing for the heroes to kill.

Hobomancer
10AM-2PM

PANEL: American Magic
3PM-4PM
Magic in most RPGs--and most fiction, for that matter--is typically based on Old World or “exotic” magical traditions. That’s fine for pre-colonial games, but games set in America should feature magic that draws on American superstition, folk magic, and even pop culture. If you’ve ever wanted to play a Hoodoo Man or Elvismancer, this panel is for you.
PANEL: Hobos: The New Pirates?
4PM-5PM
Pop culture has long embraced certain archetypal characters: The Ninja, The Cowboy, The Pirate, and many others. But what of the Hobo? This uniquely American icon has been ignored for far too long, and Hex Games believes it’s time to give this filthy, shifty vagrant his due. Join us and find out why 2012 is the Year of the Hobo.

JW 203/5
GM: Derek Knutsen
After decades of being hounded by dozens of people suffering from impulse explosive disorder, Soul Edge and Soul Calibur went to court to ask for a restraining order. The legal battle was intense, with video of gruesome fights and even the dramatic breakdown of Lizardman as he told his story on the stand. In addition to the restraining order, the judge has ordered all defendants to attend an anger management course at Camp Sunflower in Vermont. This is what happens, starting that one day ... [NOTE: Game uses QAGS 1st ed.]
Sunday
PANEL: Sword & Sorcery: You’re Doing It Wrong
10AM-11AM
Most fantasy RPGs derive from Tolkien and other British sources. This is unfortunate, because beyond the elves and epic journeys, there’s a wide world of fantasy fiction where cunning men of questionable morals battle unknown creatures of darkness, encounter mysterious magics, and win (only to promptly lose) great treasures. Hex Games will show you why American Sword & Sorcery is simply better.
PANEL: Unconventional Characters, Unconventional Worlds
11AM-2PM
Tired of playing dungeon crawlers, spaceship captains, super-heroes, angsty monsters, and all rest?
