WORKSHOPS

Shoggoths Unite!

a Miniature Game Workshop with Grégory Privat

The place is R'leyh, the time is when the stars are right.

The shoggoths decided to rise in rebellion like they did in another place and time and to fight for liberty from the Old Ones.

Make the board, sculpt the terrain and paint the miniatures for this fun and fast game, then play!

Join Grégory Privat in this marvelous workshop to create, build, paint and play his new miniature game SHOGGOTHS UNITE! The workshop will take place over several days at THE KRAKEN. All materials will be provided - no previous experience necessary.

The Sylkar Mystery

a Glorantha Workshop with Greg Stafford

Greg Stafford will narrate a week-long HeroQuest game. Players are Lunar Scholars who are sent on an expedition to investigate a mystery that is relevant to the future of Glorantha. The characters have as much knowledge as the players with access to any scripture (published materials) and also the Otherworlds (Internet). Conclusions of the previous day are presented in the morning by the Chief Analyst of the group. More information (a clue - another handout - maybe a story) is given each day, in public forum (Coffee & Glorantha). Success or failure, the initial handouts and subsequently published material will become Gloranthan Canon.

Note: This workshop is done not under the aegis of, but personally by Greg Stafford and is entirely subject to the Glorantha Fan Policy.


Elder Races of Glorantha

an Art Workshop with Dan Barker and Eric Vanel

Share your ideas of the Elder Races of Glorantha. What are Mostali like? Do they have eyes? Is their work only in relief. Do Aldryami make artwork? If so what kind? Do Uz use sonar like bats or like dolphins whales? If so, how would that influence their look. Do they dress for sound? We take the ideas produced and we then do art to visualise some of these ideas as final pictures.
