Revisions/Additions to this year's schedule.

Roleplaying

The Serial Pulp Adventure has been replaced: The new event is Event 523 Six-guns in Chaparral: Chaparral, New Mexico, 1932: dry grass, lonely ranches, herds of grazing longhorns...and a couple dead federal agents. Sheriff Masterson has too much sense to think that you can mix a surly Indian reservation, territorial ranchers, the Mexican government, and some G-men in search of glory and get anything but a border war or a brush fire that will burn Chaparral to ash. He needs help of a very specific kind, and that means you've got a ticket on the next train to New Mexico.
