Playing in front of an audience

The podcast room

The podcast room is a gathering place for all RPG podcasters, listeners and curious people who just want to come in and listen for a while. There will be a rolling schedule of role play sessions and panel discussions in front of an audience, as well as some time for meet and greets. If you miss the live performances, you will be able to hear them in various podcasts after the convention.

There will also be several roleplays and other fun behind closed doors that will be released in various podcasts afterwards. So that you can get back the convention feeling long afterwards.

"Hidden" Narrative Miniature Game

Plum Island off Massachusetts is a very inconspicuous island. It has been inhabited for as long as people can remember, but rarely does anything happen here. They fish for cod in the Atlantic when the weather permits, and drink their beer at the pub in Fort Philips.
In 1924, however, the Navy decided to set up a seaplane base on the island. You can read that in old issues of the Arkham Advertiser.
More than a hundred men were to serve, and the fishermen in the village were worried about the fishing industry. The editorial in the paper recalled the publicized submarine attack on Orleans in the last year of the war, and wholeheartedly endorsed the protection now afforded to the people of Massachusetts after the thoughtless closing of the airship base at Chatham two years before.
A funny guy wrote in a post that the island's alleged nickname, "the last survivor island", came from the time of the witch trials and wondered what the navy boys thought when they heard it.
Another person demanded that the bishop of Massachusetts do something about it. However, it was unclear what he thought the church should do and what the problem actually was.

Smaller events, hardly worth mentioning, are to be found in small notices that year. The "Holy Church of Salvation and Trinity" foundation, based in Boston and Salem, had acquired land on Plum Island. They now advertised for young evangelists who want to mission in the area and revive the small community of Fort Philip with salvation.
The salary was promised to be more than one could reasonably wish for.

In the fishing village, the ethnologist James Bollingworth had organized a small exhibition of his work on the Wampanoag Indians.
A lecture at the pub "The gilded cod" would take place next Friday at 5 o'clock. Entry was 10p and children got in free.

That's all that can be found about Plum Island in the newspaper's archives from that time, and since. The island has been forgotten, although weather-beaten fishermen still land their catches in coastal ports. You can talk to them if you want; they are friendly but show a sense of humor some would find unpleasant, and they do it in the real old New England dialect.
