6:00 PM – 9:00 PM – Table Name: Miskatonic University – Dungeon Crawl Classics: The Orphans of the Sleeping God Saga written by Full Moon Juniper with GrayWolf – A saga of eldritch horror exclusively crafted for NecronomiCon 2026. Written by Grisoe Lupus owner of Full Moon Juniper

There are corners of the north that the maps give up and the kirk will not name, and in the oldest of them squats Wickmaw: a town of grey stone and salt-rotted timber, huddled between a sea that swallows its men and a moor older than any reckoning men keep. Its wall was raised by no hand the chronicles remember, against no enemy they dared set down. You are orphans of the Spittal of Auchindread, got of the drowned and the vanished, and you have known only cold stone, thin gruel, and the grove beyond the wall whose fruit, this blighted autumn, has come up black and glistening as something left too long in deep water. Those who ate of it no longer blink, and no longer dream as men dream.

For there is a thing out upon the moor that does not sleep so much as wait, immemorial and patient and vast; of late it has begun to stir, and stranger still, something stirs in answer beneath your own skin. What wakes in you is no gift but an inheritance, a black flowering no orphan asked for and none may refuse: held between trusting hands it may be turned aside a while, but loosed in terror it feeds, and it feeds on whoever stands nearest. The truth of it is kept from you by those who smile and offer bread, and you will worry at that truth as a tongue worries a loose tooth, until the hour you grasp the whole of it and do not outlive the grasping.

Standalone three-hour descents into the abyss. Take a single seat, or follow the road down to its lightless end. The moor is in no hurry; it has outlasted every road that ever ran to it.

Dungeon Crawl Classics. Pregenerated orphans provided; no prior act or preparation required. Eldritch horror, grief, and the near-certain ruin of all you play. 6 player seats.

Graduate 17th Floor:

5:00 PM – 9:00 PM – Boardgame Room Table: Benefit St. – Cthulhu Wars with Jet G. – Cthulhu Wars is a strategy board game in which the players take the part of alien races and gods taken from the Cthulhu mythos created by H. P. Lovecraft. The game is physically large, and includes sixty-four figurines of the cultists, monsters, aliens, and Great Old Ones that range in height from approximately 20 mm to nearly 180 mm.

The game takes place on a map of Earth. Each player takes the part of one of four factions included in the base game. At the start of a turn, players gather Power, then, during a series of Action Rounds, they spend this Power to accomplish various tasks, such as recruiting Cultists, moving units, engaging in battle, summoning monsters, building Gates, casting spells, and Awakening their Great Old One. When all players run out of Power, the Action phase ends and the next turn begins. Victory is determined by accumulating points on the Doom Track. The first player to 30 is the lone victor *if* they have unlocked all six of their spell books.

Driving the strategy are a player’s wish to expand their power base, and their need to accomplish six tasks to acquire their faction’s spell books. Each faction has a unique set of monsters, spell books, and special abilities, and has different requirements to acquire its spell books. All factions have multiple strategies open to them.

There are corners of the north that the maps give up and the kirk will not name, and in the oldest of them squats Wickmaw: a town of grey stone and salt-rotted timber, huddled between a sea that swallows its men and a moor older than any reckoning men keep. Its wall was raised by no hand the chronicles remember, against no enemy they dared set down. You are orphans of the Spittal of Auchindread, got of the drowned and the vanished, and you have known only cold stone, thin gruel, and the grove beyond the wall whose fruit, this blighted autumn, has come up black and glistening as something left too long in deep water. Those who ate of it no longer blink, and no longer dream as men dream.

For there is a thing out upon the moor that does not sleep so much as wait, immemorial and patient and vast; of late it has begun to stir, and stranger still, something stirs in answer beneath your own skin. What wakes in you is no gift but an inheritance, a black flowering no orphan asked for and none may refuse: held between trusting hands it may be turned aside a while, but loosed in terror it feeds, and it feeds on whoever stands nearest. The truth of it is kept from you by those who smile and offer bread, and you will worry at that truth as a tongue worries a loose tooth, until the hour you grasp the whole of it and do not outlive the grasping.

Ancaester, the village nearest to the Priory is filled with frightened feudal peasant farmers who seem eager to help … but their thin smiles seem to hide an unspoken secret. Are the tales of nightgenga, scucca, and pwkas really just the product of the fertile imaginations of uneducated folks, or are they something more?

9:00 AM – 12:00 PM – Table: Hibb’s Roadhouse – Dungeon Crawl Classics: The Orphans of the Sleeping God Saga by Full Moon Juniper with GrayWolf – A saga of eldritch horror exclusively crafted for NecronomiCon 2026. Written by Grisoe Lupus owner of Full Moon Juniper

There are corners of the north that the maps give up and the kirk will not name, and in the oldest of them squats Wickmaw: a town of grey stone and salt-rotted timber, huddled between a sea that swallows its men and a moor older than any reckoning men keep. Its wall was raised by no hand the chronicles remember, against no enemy they dared set down. You are orphans of the Spittal of Auchindread, got of the drowned and the vanished, and you have known only cold stone, thin gruel, and the grove beyond the wall whose fruit, this blighted autumn, has come up black and glistening as something left too long in deep water. Those who ate of it no longer blink, and no longer dream as men dream.

For there is a thing out upon the moor that does not sleep so much as wait, immemorial and patient and vast; of late it has begun to stir, and stranger still, something stirs in answer beneath your own skin. What wakes in you is no gift but an inheritance, a black flowering no orphan asked for and none may refuse: held between trusting hands it may be turned aside a while, but loosed in terror it feeds, and it feeds on whoever stands nearest. The truth of it is kept from you by those who smile and offer bread, and you will worry at that truth as a tongue worries a loose tooth, until the hour you grasp the whole of it and do not outlive the grasping.

Standalone three-hour descents into the abyss. Take a single seat, or follow the road down to its lightless end. The moor is in no hurry; it has outlasted every road that ever ran to it.

5:00 PM – 8:00 PM – Table: The Dreamlands – Dungeon Crawl Classics: The Orphans of the Sleeping God Saga by Full Moon Juniper with GrayWolf – A saga of eldritch horror exclusively crafted for NecronomiCon 2026. Written by Grisoe Lupus owner of Full Moon Juniper

There are corners of the north that the maps give up and the kirk will not name, and in the oldest of them squats Wickmaw: a town of grey stone and salt-rotted timber, huddled between a sea that swallows its men and a moor older than any reckoning men keep. Its wall was raised by no hand the chronicles remember, against no enemy they dared set down. You are orphans of the Spittal of Auchindread, got of the drowned and the vanished, and you have known only cold stone, thin gruel, and the grove beyond the wall whose fruit, this blighted autumn, has come up black and glistening as something left too long in deep water. Those who ate of it no longer blink, and no longer dream as men dream.

For there is a thing out upon the moor that does not sleep so much as wait, immemorial and patient and vast; of late it has begun to stir, and stranger still, something stirs in answer beneath your own skin. What wakes in you is no gift but an inheritance, a black flowering no orphan asked for and none may refuse: held between trusting hands it may be turned aside a while, but loosed in terror it feeds, and it feeds on whoever stands nearest. The truth of it is kept from you by those who smile and offer bread, and you will worry at that truth as a tongue worries a loose tooth, until the hour you grasp the whole of it and do not outlive the grasping.

Standalone three-hour descents into the abyss. Take a single seat, or follow the road down to its lightless end. The moor is in no hurry; it has outlasted every road that ever ran to it.

Dungeon Crawl Classics. Pregenerated orphans provided; no prior act or preparation required. Eldritch horror, grief, and the near-certain ruin of all you play. 6 player seats.
