                         INTERCON VIII HAS IT!!!!
                                     
                             March 12-14, 1993
                 Marriott Hunt Valley Inn, Hunt Valley MD
                                     

                   The events for INTERCON VIII include:


                               Winter Games
		    A mini-game running Friday evening

Winter Olympics, 1994, Lillehammer, Norway.  It is evening at the Olympic
Village; the day's competitions have been completed.  Now the real games
begin...


                            The Price of Power

Power doesn't come cheap, for most in Seattle 2056, it doesn't come at all.
For those of sturdier stock, power is there for the taking, hidden in the
shadows.  And where are you, chummer?  Do you have the guts to bite off
what may be much more than you can chew, or will you admit there are some
things you just don't wanna know?

The Price of Power takes place in the world of the Shadowrun(tm) gaming
system.


                                 Pantheon

Pantheon follows the course of a family of gods in their attempt to ascend
to power in their universe.  The game focuses on dramatic role-playing,
some table-top strategy, and snazzy costumes.  While Pantheon does require
attention to detail and a more or less continuous involvement in the game,
beginners will also find the game enjoyable if they state they are
beginners in the character questionnaire.


                              Cha-os: So-ahc

So-ahc is a magical world, a world where gender is a matter of opinion,
honor is sacred, and the Elder Gods still occasionally roam.  Each and
every character must face a thousand and one obstacles as he struggles to
fulfill his personal quests for love, liberty, knowledge, and power.  But
be not dismayed -- though life on So-ahc is often difficult, it is just as
rewarding, and it proves, once again, that the best things in life are
worth fighting for.


                                Pax Romana

A game of intrigue, politics, and war in the beginning of the Roman Empire.
Come join Julius Caesar for the Ides of March celebration!


                         Some Disassembly Required

It's the toyland of your worst nightmares!  Crime, corruption, pollution,
sleaze, corporate bullying, and everything else that writers love to use
for added conflict.  Sex will be simulated by bobbing up and down
underneath a blanket.  A lighthearted game of peculiar characterizations,
strange situations, and combat with cheap plastic weapons.  Assault and
batteries not included.  Bring your own therapist, too.
