After much soul searching and reading of tea leaves, we are sad to announce that we will once again be postponing AVL Scarefest this year. Please do not scream at us…our personal demons are loud enough, we assure you. We do know that many of you are getting vaccinated as…
In any other year, you would all–right now, as we write this–be gathered in Freeland Hall at Montreat. Some of you would be wandering in late as the Goblin Market begins to wrap up. Some of you would already be deeply entrenched in a game, eyes wide, hands gesticulating with…
Full of Suck. That’s basically what most of us have been experiencing for the last couple of months, and it’s what we sadly are compelled to contribute to now. Even our resident vampire is talking about sucking in a sulky tone of voice. But sadly even The Overlord cannot peer…
As many of our return guests know, we like to do a little something different on the Sunday morning of AVL Scarefest. For starters, we open our doors a little later: at 9AM, instead of 8, to let everyone sleep in a little, or get a little exercise, or take…
Yes, we realized a little too late that a last name for the Yeti would sound cool…but we never gave him one. Or asked if he already had one. So…maybe we can do that when he comes back. As he will. Certainly. What’s that? You haven’t heard? OH. Well, the…
As part of the Sunday morning Goblin Market slot, we’re inviting all attendees to participate in our Game Swap. For the uninitiated, a Game Swap is pretty much exactly what it sounds like: everyone with games they’d like to trade brings them in, and folks who are interested in trading…
Or, what’s the difference between a room at the Winsborough and a room at Assembly Inn? This is one of our most commonly asked questions, so we’ve created a little graphical display to help clear things up: Hopefully that’s pretty self-explanatory, but if not…you can picture the Assembly Inn like…
Ah, so you’re back for the first installment of this year’s Prize Peek, hm? Wanting to see what awaits your clutching claws, hm. Well, come this way my little tardigrade, and we’ll see what there is to see… Let’s begin with this rather impressive looking brick (that’s a technical term)…
Being a Scarefest Minion means you get to digitally “meet” lots of interesting creatures (“meeting” is much better than meeting, as meeting means going into The Outside, which as you probably know is a scary, scary place). We’ve gotten to chat online with serial killers and children, poets and programmers.…
At last year’s AVL Scarefest, the Pathfinder Society community was able to raise nearly $750 for a local charity, Manna Food Bank. And we thought to ourselves…hey, we can really do some good here, beyond just creating an excuse to let the Minions out of their bunker once a year.…
