Welcome to OrcaCon 2020! We’ve got our Scheduler set up for this year, and over the next few months, you’ll start seeing it populated full of games, panels, workshops, and special events. Are you new to Sched? We’ve created a FAQ for you! It’s a living document, so we’ll be editing it over time as we answer more questions and we get closer to the show. Have questions about OrcaCon? Email info@orcacon.org and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.
The world is not as it should be. The rich feed, literally, upon the poor, as blood-sucking vampires who barely bother to conceal their horrific, parasitic nature. The downtrodden peoples of the world struggle under the burdens of rent, payable through the sweat of their labor or the blood of their veins. Evil has triumphed. Many have given in to despair. But all is not lost.
In Brinkwood, a Forged in the Dark game, you take on the role of renegades, thieves, and rebels struggling for freedom and liberation in a castylpunk world controlled by vampires. Radicalized by tragedy, you have taken up arms and fled into the forests, where you were taken in by unlikely allies – the fae, forgotten creatures of myth – who offered a different path and the means to fight back against your oppressors.
Masks, forged of old wood and older magic, are the final tool left to fight a war long ago lost. If you wear them, they will take their price, etching themselves upon your very soul. But they will also let you spill the blood of the rich and powerful vampires that now rule the land, and from that blood strengthen yourself and your movement.
Open Door, Script Change and Lines/Veils safety tools will be used.
