Worlds of Fundead Park

Return to Dark Tower
For an age, the tower lay in ruins. Unbeknownst to the people of the realm, a great evil stirred in its bowels. It started with strange sightings: a flock of crows flying in circles until they dropped from the sky, the lake frozen solid in the height of summer. In time, they could not deny that which they most feared.
The evil had not been vanquished. The darkness would soon fall again. The tower will rise.
A "sequel" to the 1981 grail game, Return to Dark Tower is a game for 1-4 players who take the role of heroes. Together, they gather resources, cleanse buildings, defeat monsters, and undertake quests to build up their strength and discern what foe ultimately awaits them. When the heroes face the tower, the game shifts into its dramatic second act, where the players have one chance to defeat the enemy once and for all.
Prizes and extra raffle tickets will be awarded to players.

Sailors on the Starless Sea
Since time immemorial you and your people have toiled in the shadow of the cyclopean ruins. Of mysterious origins and the source of many a superstition, they have always been considered a secret best left unknown by the folk of your hamlet.
But now something stirs beneath the crumbling blocks. Beastmen howl in the night and your fellow villagers are snatched from their beds. With no heroes to defend you, who will rise to stand against the encircling darkness? The secrets of Chaos are yours to unearth, but at what cost to sanity or soul?
An introductory adventure for the Dungeon Crawl Classics Roleplaying Game, each player will be running 2-4 zero level people.

ALIEN (Friday) - Fallout
ALIEN: Fallout is a cinematic scenario based off of the novel, ALIEN: Colony War.
Terrible biochemical bombings are happening along the interstellar boarders of supernations. These unidentified border bombers have wiped out several colonies, infecting the population with an accelerated pathogen. The few that survive are less than human -- mutated into raving monstrosities.
You are part of a team of scientists who believe they can synthesize an antidote to the pathogen, but only if you can secure a sample. A border bombing has occurred on the nearby mining moon of LV-187, which is also the location of a Tark-Weyland Station laboratory. The plan is simple -- bypass the authorities, provide relief to any survivors of the pathogen, make a holographic record of the incident, and get out of there before any of the "cleansing" nukes are dropped. A cure can be made once you get out alive.
The players should expect the same level of gore and horror presented in any of the ALIEN movies.
