The YTCC crew traveled north to the frozen burgh of Madison WI, for the 2019 iteration of Gamehole Con. All were highly anticipating a weekend of running our unique Call of Cthulhu scenarios. The gang was warmly welcomed by Alex Kramer and his team, and presented with a secured private room where YTCC could freely use A/V equipment and props, and entertain with raucous role-playing. This year’s highlight for YTCC was the introduction of a new twelve-player Halloween scenario, Trick or Terror!

Trick or Terror was written by Michael, a veteran keeper who has numerous YTCC titles, and wove a holiday tale of frights and fun. Set in the small suburb of fictional Brenton, Arkansas, the early 1980s story follows the trick-or-treat evening of two rival neighborhoods. The players were escorted through a number of familiar tropes, heightening the excitement. Additionally, the YTCC crew crafted handmade masks by Wintercroft Designs, and gave one to each player as a special take-home gift. The event concluded with a fervor of positive feedback from players and bystanders.

Along with the Trick or Terror Halloween special event, YTCC brought a plethora of classic scenarios to the folk of Gamehole Con. Bob ran two wonderful scenarios, High Water and Beneath an Indifferent Sky. Perry and Jason wowed their players with The Traveling Dream and The Green Valley Incident. Rachel took us to summer camp with Sleepaway. Players visited Harlem with Josh, as they played through The Queen’s Got Your Number. Dave C took to the friendly skies with Flaming Star. Dave P ran players through Seven Virtues and The Grey Baby. Jake led a romp through Friendly Fields. Michael rounded out the games with a casino heist in space titled High Stakes.

This was YTCC’s second Gamehole Con.  The venue, the players, and the convention in general were fantastic. We all look forward to 2020 and driving more players insane!
