3d6 Con 2018 at EndGame

It's a bit sad because this is the last 3d6 Con since EndGame will be closing Feb 2019. The new lease for their property was going to double in price and they couldn't afford it.

Todd has incredible props for this game, especially the character sheets. They look like the cardboard backing for an action figure toy.

This game was crazy fun and all our Nicholas Cage's lost our $#!%. Savage Worlds is very swingy in die rolls and perfect for a B-movie pulp adventure game.

Backs of the Character Sheets

In our game, we had: Cameron Poe (Colin F), Rick Santoro (Dave L), Caster Troy (Badger M), H.I. McDunnough (Tom I), and Big Daddy (my character).

The Nick Cages find another Nick Cage, Ben Franklin Gates from National Treasure, dead in a trailer park as it slowly gets flooded by salt water. A variety of odd NPCs show up and we interact with them. We find a treasure map and fight sharks as the flood waters rise.

One of the NPCs gives us a Book on Mason secrets that's been annotated by Ben Franklin Gates and we start decoding a Mason code on the back of the map. We save as many people as we can from the trailer park.

We then run into a preacher and his crazy jetski bikers (Water World anyone?) who wants our map. After defeating him, we get a page of Ben Franklin Gate's notes off his body.

We break into a Mason Temple (found via the map) and using the annotated Book on Masons we open up a secret set of stairs, escape the sharks breaking into the temple, defeat the bee sting stair trap, the Mason pipe organ, the Mason Secret Handshake Dummies (that punch the hell out of you when you fail), and find a weird cryostasis chamber. The Mason tricks and traps were very innovative and interesting. I think Todd gave National Treasure a good run for their money. National Treasure 3 anyone?

Inside the cryostasis chamber is another Nick Cage, this one frozen in the far past. He teaches Rick Santoro a ritual that'll cool down the world and save it from Climate Change. We escape on a rubber dinghy and run into the Sharknado. After beating back sharks, the ritual is completed, and we save the world from Climate Change.

My favorite bits:

• Sharks and more sharks. Sharks jumping trailer park homes, trying to chomp on people on the roofs, and the Sharknado.
• Diving in the way of a Meth-fueled Shark (my fault), to save an NPC, and then deciding to go in deeper, and then coming out the other side.
• The Punch-O-matic Mason Automatons.
• And telling Early Man Nick Cage that his family must've survived the Ice Age because, "Look at us. We all look like you, so your family must have survived." His response, "It must be true, because you all look so handsome."

It was a hella fun.
