This was a great year for the SDC with five entrants submitting 7 scenarios. The games covered a range of genre from futuristic horror to two fisted mystery to camp humour. The quality of the games was universally high and choosing a winning scenario was no easy task.

Well, KapCon 18 is over, and we have to wait an entire year till another. Thanks to everyone who came along and made it such a lot of fun, especially our overseas visitors and the LARP team, but not forgetting all our amazing facilitators!

In the meantime, you can look at pictures of the LARP (some more are available here, but you'll need a Facebook log-in to see them), or follow the thread on NZ-RAG where people link to posts about their experiences of the convention. If you've written one, or just want to make some comments, go to the thread and link yours in, we all want to hear what people thought!

Now we have to figure out what (if anything) next year's KapCon will be subtitled!

PALMERSTON NORTH: A lab accident at Massey University claimed the life of a researcher yesterday. The accident is understood to have occured in a biological research lab on the university campus. No names have been released.
Police are remaining close-mouthed about the incident, and have cordoned off the area pending a full investigation.

There are no aliens out in the Black. That's what they tell you. But on the planet of Edgerock, there are rumours of strange creatures attacking the local homesteads. A small team of mercenaries might just find out what's going on.

June 1936. For two minutes on a stormy night, a face was seen looking down on Manhattan. Now every paranormal investigator from the nearest three states has come to investigate why this has happened... and reveal its secret.

First mission of the Denver story arc from Shadowrun Missions. This is a simple small package delivery, easy enough, right?

This is part of the ongoing Shadowrun Missions series of games, and is the first game set in Denver. You are welcome to bring along a new character you wish to use in Shadowrun missions games, otherwise I will have a selection of pre-generated characters with me for you to choose from.

It's the 1940s, and in the city of Purity a D.A. looking to make a name for himself has caught a break -- there's someone willing to testify against the city's biggest mob boss. He's got himself a "task force" of two pairs of detectives, and together they're meant to strike a blow for justice against someone who thinks they're above the law. But in the most corrupt city in America, where everyone has a dirty little secret, who can you trust?

This game will be run using the Mountain Witch rules, with a fair amount of player narration.

It is the Year of our Lord 1602. The Slave Coast of Africa is a place of profit and danger for the bold-hearted, but few dare to enter the sinister jungle that looms inland beyond the coastal enclaves. You have heard the local folk whisper dark tales by the firelight of ancient horrors and beasts that hunt men, and worse - are these tales true, or just the ghost stories of ignorant savages?
