ORIGIN NEWS: The Die Hard Gamer Awards!

Hey there folks,

This year will be adding some new awards to our show at Origins; the Die Hard Gamer Awards and the King of the Die Hard Gamer Award. Below are the rules for how it all works:

In order to qualify to earn one of the coveted Cthulhu International Die Hard Gamer Awards; an Actor or Actress must attend no fewer than 2 Episodes during the course of the Convention and accumulate no less than 70 Tickets during the course of those Episodes that they participated in. Starting at the begining of the first day the Directors will be tracking who is earning how many Tickets and how many Episodes that they are participating in. On the second day of the convention the Executive Director will begin awarding Die Hard Gamer Awards to those that meet the above criteria. All of the Die Hard Gamer Awards shall be give out to the Actors and Actresses at an Awards Ceremony that shall be held on the last day of the convention where the Actor or Actress will have their Photo taken with their award and they will be given one of the Cthulhu International Travel Journals to take with them on their journey home.

The King of the Die Hard Gamers is the Actor or Actress that has shown through sheer determination and stamina that they truly are a Die Hard Gamer that has no equal. These Actors and Actresses make a point of appearing in all of the Dark Aeons Episodes that they can possibly play in, and through their creativity, quick thinking, and sense of humor they helped all of those around them to enjoy their role-playing experience.

In order to qualify for the King of the Die Hard Gamers Award, the Actor or Actress must have already qualified to earn one of the Die Hard Gamer Awards, they have attended most of the Episodes (at least 5 Episodes) that are being run throughout the convention, and they have earned a total of no less than 250 Tickets (or more) throughout the course of the convention. The King of the Die Hard Gamers Award shall be give out to the Actor or Actress at an Awards Ceremony that shall be held on the last day of the convention where the Actor or Actress will have their Photo taken with their award and they will be taking home with them a signed copy of the Dark Aeons: The Atlantean Chronicles Role-Playing Game.

(In order to get these awards the Actors and Actresses will need to be present at the Awards Ceremony on the last day of the convention.)

Update (03.25.2010): Origins Events Schedule

Hey there folks,

I figured that it was time to come onto the Dark Aeons Email List and let everyone know that all of the events that we're planning to run this year at Origins have been submitted and approved. We have a few freshman GMs/Directors that will be running Dark Aeons Events this year, I would like to welcome; Daniel Pilgrim, Andrew Adkins, and James P. Paddock, to the Dark Aeons / Cthulhu International GM staff for Origins 2010.  In the event that the folks at Origins some how screw up the Dark Aeons Events schedule like they did last year, we will once again be posting our events schedule to our room door and our Heralds of Darkness will be periodically wandering about the walk ways of Origins telling convention goes when Episodes are about to start, or if there are still openings in Episodes that have just begun.
