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 for them offer their swaps.
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 a beautiful, austere swan while
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) of miniature creatures from Miniature
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. But we really get our
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. So this year, we’re opening
Hilda the Vampire’s role, officially, was Chief Decorator. As far as Minion #13 could determine, she had never been interviewed for this position, nor had she ever actually applied. She had been discovered one day behind a (not-yet-animate) paperwork stack, sucking all the ink out of a red ink cartridge. Given that Minions are not,
We are two weeks out from AVL Scarefest, and things around the compound have reached a frantic pitch usually reserved for especially popular shopping days or kudzu outbreaks. We wanted to take a moment, however, to catch our breath and present another handful of amazing prizes we’ll be giving away this year (if you didn’t
The day began at 3AM. “One! One Especially Large Rodent! Ah Ah Ah!!” screamed the Yeti as he ran down the hall, presumably in chase of a mutant rat, aggressive squirrel, or overly optimistic applicant. Minion #13 sighed deeply, and rolled his head to the right. Two large, violet eyes peered back at him, over
We, here at AVL Scarefest headquarters, are delighted to be able to announce that we have a new partner in this year’s endeavor: Well Played, North Carolina’s first board game café, will be hosting our board game area. What does this mean, you say? Well, firstly, it means our poor, tired, overworked Minions will not
Being a Minion consisted primarily of two things: ferrying paperwork and avoiding the Dark Overlord. The paperwork wasn’t that bad, really. The entire compound was devoted to the creation of a three-day event called Scarefest, which was apparently a lot like Halloween but longer and with better games. Minion #13 had never been to a
