A group of players friendship is tested when one of the players reveals that he has enlisted in the army.
Description:
Few dungeon masters can make the game come to life better than John Francis. Dwarves, Mages and Barbarians jump right off of their character sheets whenever he sits down at the gaming table of frisky suburbanite parents, Linda and Brandon. John Francis’ best friends, sailor-mouthed John Alex and thoughtful jock Jason, bring roguish swagger and knightly nobility to the game. And the object of John Francis’ affection, the feisty Tara, provides all the Half Elven Double Princess backstory they could ever need. But when Jason enlists to go to Iraq and with the relationship with Tara going nowhere, it may be time for John Francis to hang up his twenty sided dice and take a job on the other side of the country. However, John Francis is about to discover that leaving will prove tougher than the Tomb of Horrors.

Description:
The indie rock outfit is making a rare all-ages appearance outside of their native borough of Brooklyn to play a sets worth of songs about love and heartbreak in the world of Dungeons & Dragons. Called “…one of the sharpest bands to ever hit the scene…” by the Nerdy Show and “damn good… damn good indeed” by Geek Radio Daily, the bespectacled five-hander strikes the perfect balance between playing no-frills tunes and telling a worthwhile story, offering something fresh to even the most jaded nerd rock aficionado. The band keeps things clean enough, and has a propensity towards keeping it brief, burning through their jams with hooky, minimalist musicality, stopping only to guzzle their drinks or poll the audience about "where the Catan at." Take a CD with you when you leave, and be warned: these songs will undoubtedly bounce around your brain for the rest of the convention.
Steampunk/Gothic/World Fusion music performance with belly dancing. Three bands in one event: Il Troubadore, The Ghosts Project, and The Nathaniel Johnstone Band!
