Pulled from all throughout history, a group of strangers wake up in a futuristic facility; unfortunately for them, something's gone wrong and security seems to insist on hunting them down.
Description:
Set in a mysterious, futuristic facility, this campaign focuses on a group of unwitting time-travelers, taken from their own times without warning and dropped in the middle of a much bigger mystery. But before they can return home, they'll have to hunt down and stop the creatures that have escaped the facility and are threatening to destroy all of history. The setting and NPCs from this session will be continued in other sessions on Saturday and Sunday, forming a mini-campaign over the course of Gen Con. These sessions will still be treated as one-shots, and you do not need to attend more than a single session (Though you are more than welcome to if you would like!)
