Heads up Marines!

I know we've discussed us Florida Marines, and possibly Airborne Mike, meeting up and maybe doing a colony sweep.

Well, I just heard from my friends who run the Cthulhu Live (and related LARPS) that the Terrorwerks Alien/Marine style game will be run this year! Most likely Saturday night.


From the email:

I am proud to announce that after a huge premire at Origins 2007 that
Megacon has given us the greenlight to bring TerrorWerks to Orlando.

TerrorWerks 2008: Incident at Bernelli's World

What is
TerrorWerks?


TerrorWerks is an immersive live-action simulation in the science-
fiction/horror genre. A team of up to fifteen players, representing
US Space Marines, accompanied by MineraTek executives and engineers,
will enter a 45-minute timed simulation. Players wind their way
through a massive, simulated space station, racing against the clock
to prevent their doom. Along the way they find clues to what happened
to the crew, accomplish skill-based tasks and combat a swarm of alien
horrors.

How does the game work?
Players will select one of several basic character types (US Space
Marines, engineers, doctors, executives and synthetics), each with
their own sets of skills and assets. A balanced team is critical to
mission success!

After rules, safety briefings and time for the players to outfit
themselves with equipment appropriate to their character, the players
enter the simulation accompanied by a gamemaster in the role of the
marine platoon sergeant.

Players typically have 2-3 skills, associated with their character
type. Some skill-tests are resolved automatically by the players
themselves through the performance of specific tasks or use of
equipment only they possess. Other skills are randomly by the game
master.

During the simulation, players will be threatened by a swarm of
mysterious alien horrors. Marines will be equipped with full-
automatic weapons to defend themselves and their team mates. Other
character types may have limited firearms or may have to resort to
boffer weapons or their own reflexes and wits to keep them alive.
Teamwork is paramount to survival and success in TerrorWerks.

When does this happen?
TerrorWerks will be run daily at MegaCon 2008 from Friday to Sunday.
Check the MegaCon website and convention book for specific time slots
and how to reserve your space in the simulation.

I can't wait! I want a piece of the action now!
Want to be prepared and ready to rock & roll? Then you need your
field manual, marine! That's right; pick up your official USSMC FM 7-
22, United States Space Marine Field Manual for Space Boarding
Operations today at your local quartermaster, www.terrorwerks.com now
or check out our forums at www.mindgame-productions.com or contact us
at paul@mindgame-productions.com

Full of tactics every Space Marine should know and the back-story to
TerrorWerks: Incident at Bernelli's World. Bone up on your history
Marine, or you will be doomed to repeat it!

There will be an additional $15 cost for anyone wanting to
participate in this game.

OooRah! Semper-Fi!


Who all in Florida is up for it?

I'm headed over there to hang out with a bunch of Battlestar people. Guess I need to find room for my armour. Says weapons will be supplied? We better split up, as we can't all be marines. You know what happened the last time...

According to the text above, the scenarios are 45 minutes each, in groups of 15 players. Depending on how many people we have, we should be able to go in together and take all the Marine slots, hehe.

I smell a full-costume group run in the air :D Maybe we could even get some photo or video publicity out of it.

Just stumbled across this gallery while reading up on intel for OP: Washing of the Spears in Ocala, FL - an airsoft event these guys are holding the day before my birthday ^_^ I don't know why my brain didn't even make the connection that these same guys were the ones running that TerrorWorks thing at MegaCon.

TerrorWerks at Origins Int'l. Gaming Convention

A little sample of what's in store! Looks like a pretty good time.
