Hello All,

On 23 October 1926, 6 party guests were invited to the home of Harrison L’Godt, a reclusive eccentric on the outskirts of town.



By midnight, the assembled guests were fighting to regain possession of their very souls, and the most evil Brikwars Game ever was unleashed upon the unsuspecting population of New England.

In an attempt to devote every single waking moment of our time beforehand to the experience, the game was developed with an eye towards making it a full multimedia event. Enter the official game website:

http://www.evilwayne.com/brick/bw666/bw666.html

Make sure to check out the trailers and the introduction!

The game was set up a bit differently from most Brikwars games. All of the scenery, landscaping, and troops were provided for the players. In fact, each player only had control of one character. The information on this website was the only background information given to the players (along with a 2-4 page history for their respective characters). The introduction movie was then played on game day to kick off the battle - other than that, they all went into the game completely blind!

There was even a trophy for the best performance of the evening (courtesy of Jorge Fernandez):



The most recent sidebar addition on the website has links to galleries of pictures from the event. Two independent writeups are pending, with the first one appearing as early as tomorrow.

Check back as often as you dare - there will be many more updates in the next couple of weeks, including more video, the writeups, links to more photos, and copies of all of the documentation and files taht went into the game: Character writeups! Ulterior motives! Spells and Cantrips! A full Bestiary! The tables for introducing mental insanities to the players! Images of the various props used! And more!

Make sure to check out the previous months’ posts, too ... the website only displays the recent entries.

(...) Jason Spears spotted one of the BrickShelf galleries last week and posted to MichLUG--as a huge fan of Lovecraft, of gaming, and of Lego, I love the idea and the number of details you were able to pack into the house is just amazing!! Great (...) (20 years ago, 2-Nov-04, to lugnet.gaming.brikwars, FTX)
