Come to celebrate the release of the first KRAKEN fundraiser 'Sharper Adventures in HeroQuest Glorantha' by Robin D. Laws. Get one of the first copies of the first ever KRAKEN Chapbooks and find out what ideas and innovations Robin D.

Sandy's Movie Nights

Host: Sandy Petersen

A KRAKEN CLASSIC: Every night at THE KRAKEN Sandy shows a movie from his mind-boggling DVD collection. Why? Because Sandy loves movies! Did I mention the quiz? A quiz? Oh yes, Sandy hosts a movie quiz before each feature! Why? Because he loves movie quizzes! He will bring cool prizes for the winners again, too. So you can win amazing stuff, traditionally from Sandy’s private Cthulhoid loot! So come and behave, enjoy your popcorn, ice cream and your cooled drinks, or you will be made to watch ‘Daniel der Zauberer’ in a private session.

A Glorantha Celebration

Host: Jeff Richard

Let us celebrate the beginning of a new Golden Age for Glorantha! With the publication of 'The Guide to Glorantha', 'HeroQuest Glorantha' and the board game Gods War we have reason to party like true Krakeneers! So raise your glasses and let us drool over lush pages, lavish artwork, stunning maps, rejoice the homecoming of 'HeroQuest' and, well, go crazy about Gods War.


Archery

Host: Risto Salonen

Hell, REALLY!? Yep, and why not? Let loose your inner Robin Hood and come to see if you can shoot the apple off the top of Ernos head. Okay, only joking here. Risto will bring bows, arrows and targets. Learn beginner’s techniques and enjoy free shooting, but under expert supervision of course. Again, only sober adults are allowed to participate.


Axe Throwing

Host: Risto Salonen

WHAT?!! Yes, right. Hey, it is the most fun way to stay in shape! No more boring weightlifting and to know how to throw an axe will also come in handy in an apocalyptic world. Risto will teach you traditional axe-throwing skills and techniques. He will bring a couple of small one-handed axes, a bigger two-handed axe and he will bring a target. No worries, he is from Finland – that makes him basically a Viking. Right? Only sober adults are allowed to participate, of course.

Just imagine Schloss Neuhausen in the background. Yes, this is the two-handed axe.


Kick the Can Ice Cream

Author: Most likely the Americans
Host: THE KRAKEN Team

During a visit to Chaosium, Inc. in 2011 Treesa McLean suggested we go out and buy an 'Ice Cream Maker' for a great 'Kick The Can Ice Cream' event at THE KRAKEN. So we did. It was shipped back to Europe by the tireless Chaosium warehouse crew and was put to good use at THE KRAKEN 2012. Here is how it works

Next mission coming up...

the yummy results
It worked! Magic!


Chant-a-Long-a-Squid!

Host: Sverre Larne

Come join all the cultists, the would-be-cultists and the investigators in disguise for our Cthulhu sing-along to summon the Great Old Ones, the Outer Gods or whoever will listen really. Chant with whatever voice you have, as long as it's loud! The end is near!

Chants-a-long-a-squid
It looks nicer as it sounds. Bring drinks.
