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.

Maybe we could even get some photo or video publicity out of it.
