Ambercon 2001 Quotes

"Amber: Life in the ER" by Mark Stafford, Brian Caldwell, Ron Miller and Mike Yates

Last year, the Box of Idiots™ provided the alcohol to get Amber smashed. This year, it's time to be more responsible. In the middle of a thirty-six hour shift in the emergency room, will you be ready with the cottage cheese for a man missing his gallbladder? What about a man choking on a wood chip? Or someone with their organs on the outside? See all this and more in the emergency room of the Amber County General Hospital. In the vein of such games as "Oberon's Gallbladder" and "Doctor Jellyfingers: Professional Proctologist," come see the "Monty Python" of Ambercon and more of their juvenile potty humor in this latest moronic classic.

"Between the Motion and the Act/The Day of Broken Branches" by Sol Foster and Rain Donaldson

It was the best of times, and everybody knew it. Amber paid a terrible price in the Great War, but a sturdy peace was forged from it. Ghostwheel and Jale have bound Amber and Chaos together in a web of mutual dependence, powering a technological revolution -- and a threat of mutually assured destruction.

Now an unknown navy blockades Amber's harbor, while an army marches on Chaos. Has a new power stepped in to shatter the peace? Can you put the genie back in the bottle, or is this the beginning of the end?

The King is dead. After ruling for more than 40 years from Lost Vegas, Elvis Presley has left America without its leader. Who will become king? With every sword-brandishing, guitar-playing dreamer; every heartbroken, gun-toting hero; and every self-absorbed, power-hungry dictator on the yellow brick road to Vegas, it's a crowded path to the top.

The road to Vegas is littered with would-be kings. Sandstorms, nuclear waste, cannibals, bowlers, groupies and Russian soldiers (a lot of Russian soldiers) all stand in their way. Death waits in the Wastelands, ready to shoot down any rising stars. It will take more than just talent to make it all the way to Vegas. It will take courage, determination, and most of all attitude. For one thing is certain...only the coolest will be King.

"Sins of the Father / "Blood on the Pattern" by Chris Salzer

Children of Chaos. Your heritage was realized upon finding the ancient ruins of Amber. You have each had to make hard decisions as to what your life means now that you know the truth. The House of Barimen now seems like a facade, a place of lies, much like the whole of Chaos. At what cost has the Truth been revealed to you. You felt it in your soul when Rethwyn's blood spilled across the Pattern. Now Benedict has commanded you to retrieve the Eye of the Serpent and aid him in repairing the stain. Betray all of Chaos, all that you have known and loved for this weakly shining light in a world forgotten by most.

A rescue mission to save a home you have never known. To pluck the Eye from the Heart of Chaos and return to set the universe right again. When do the Children stop paying for the sins of their Fathers?

"The Great Game" by Scott Acker

"Amber - with rivets!" High Adventure in the Amber Steam Age. You had been stationed at a key position in our supply lines during the invasion of Chaos. Too young and inexperienced to be used at the front, you cooled your heels taking care of an important but unsatisfying task. After the storm that ripped through reality after Patternfall, many things were, well, different. Imagine an Amber where technology is powered by steam engines, where people are civilized to one another, where dragons, magick and faerie races coexist with technological marvels, where dastardly villains and criminal masterminds plot to take over the one true world, and where the decent folk of the family thwart their every move. You are knee-deep in this place from the moment you arrive. What has happened to the backstabbing, conniving people you knew and loved?

The universe is young; the Pattern is young; in fact, everything you know is but early in time's progression...anything is possible and all is right with Oberon's First Generation. But there's a touch of restlessness...a sense that all is not quite what one would expect in reality...and then you begin to notice things...that do not quite ring true.

"ShadowQuest" by Jeremy Zimmerman

Based off the Chronicles of Amber by Roger Zelazny, the hit 80's TV show, ShadowQuest attracted a large cult following. Its following did not stop it from being cancelled after a two-year run, however, and its principal stars have been unable to get a decent acting job since. Some have been able to land off-off-off Broadway roles or similar fare, but most have had to make due with guest appearances at science fiction conventions or Ambercons filled with fans of the series and (shudder) role-players.

"I have the flying monkeys to prove it." -- Brand

"Don't Chew with Your Hellmouth Open" by Valerie Kessler

The end of high school looms nigh for the Sunnydale High Class of '99; and what with prom, graduation, college applications, and the prospect of the Mayor becoming a demon and destroying everything in sight, you'd think you have enough to worry about, wouldn't you? Nah. The world doesn't work that way. In fact, you're about to meet some pretty strange people who say the world as you know it isn't even real, but just a "Shadow." And they have some interesting things to tell you about the origins of the Slayer, what happened to Angel on his trip to Hell, just who the Watchers' Council thinks they are anyway, and how that "one girl in all the world" thing went a little wonky in this generation. Trouble is, they may not all tell you the same things. Who do you believe (if anyone)? And what are you going to do about it?

"Power Play" by Cathy Klessig

Bring or make a young adult Amberite or Chaosian, who does not work and play well with others...the kind Aunt Fiona thinks should go stand in the corner.

"Dominance" by John Davies

Submission brought pain. Pain brought hope. Hope brought light. But light, like the flicker of a candle in the night, can be so ephemeral. Now the darkness eats at the soul of the Last Amber, beats at the walls of the crumbling castle; The King of Cards seeks his final sacrifice. Where once Submission brought hope, now only Domination can make that Candle of Hope a Burning Beacon for the Future. But can you step back having once tasted the beauty? Can you dominate without stepping into the void that is in your soul? The King of Cards dwells within that void and beckons to the weak. A dark game at the End of All Ambers. This is a crossover game and a sequel to last year's "Submission" game. Knowledge of last year's game is not required. Please note that this game will be exploring dark adult themes and is recommended for broad minded players.

"The Doom That Came to Amber" by Jeremy Zimmerman

"Many years has it been since I visited that sleepy New England town of Amber, with its gabled roofs, its baroque churches, and the timeless campus of Oisen University, whose scholarly facades hide tomes with dark and unspeakable mysteries. No, I have not returned to the dark little town since that ill-fortuned October day that the Doom came to Amber...."

Inspired by DC Comic's "The Doom That Came to Gotham" and Roger Zelazny's A Night in the Lonesome October, this game casts the players as the prominent residents and visitors to the town of Amber, Massachusetts, working towards the day when the stars align and the Elder Gods may return. Some seek to stop the return, some seek to aid, while others have agendas of their own.

"Here, eat something. You look like hell." -- Gérard shoving a plate of food at an undead Corwin

"Children of Babylon" by Kristen Gibbs

Long ago, Caine killed Abel. He tried to deny it, he hid the body, but God knew. Caine was cursed and banished from Eden. The story does not end there. Caine left Eden for the land of Nod, where he founded the city of Enoch, and had a family. His children became the dynasty that ruled over the land for hundreds of years. Enoch, called Babylon by others, was a wondrous city, the center of the world. Now, you children of Caine, there are signs that Yahweh is coming. What will you do when God arrives?

Perhaps assaying the Logrus wasn't the wisest idea. Dr. Schloss is certain that your recovery is going splendidly, and that soon you'll be able to return home to Castle Amber. Dr. Frost coldly insists that recovery will only progress after you've abandoned these Amber-centric delusions of grandeur. What is a patient to do when two of Chaos' leading physicians can't agree on a course of treatment? For that matter, who is to say that a Chaosian doctor is right for you? You're an elder of Amber after all...aren't you?

"Bleys Barimen SOOPER genius." -- Lisamarie Babik to the group

"It's a murder of schmoos." -- Lisamarie Babik, coming up with the plural form of schmoo
"We decided last night that it's an assassination of Amberites." -- GM

"You're trapped under the collapsing castle, and oh yeah, your leg is broken." -- GM
"I regenerate it. I have a ring that will do that." -- Bleys
"OK, you now have a third leg." -- Ian Ng
"You'd think that would let you run 50% faster, but actually, it only slows you down." -- Lisamarie Babik

"Caine, what are you doing?" -- GM
"I'm searching Shadow for myself." -- Caine
"Someone asked you to take out the garbage again, didn't they?" -- GM

"(Caine) went to Caines-R-Us." -- Lisamarie Babik to the group

"I kill (my Shadow)." -- Caine
"You feel vaguely guilty." -- GM
"No, I don't." -- Caine

"I write 'Random' on my Shadow's body and leave it in a gutter." -- Caine

"I'm thinking about having him eat people with red hair." -- Corwin
"I hope someone summons the dragon's natural enemy, the graham cracker knight with a chocolate lance." -- D.J. Hyland

"Gee, the way my day is going you'd think I had 15 points of bad stuff. Oh wait, I do." -- Corwin to the group

"Polish the schmoo." -- Benedict to GM
"Is that an euphemism?" -- Lisamarie Babik

"If my name's Random, how will I know when you're calling me?" -- Lisamarie Babik to the group

"Eric is going to attack Avalon with demon mimes out of Shadow." -- Sasha Burdick to GM

"Do (the demon mimes) scream when I kill them?" -- Corwin
"No, but they mime great pain." -- GM
"I just trap them all in invisible boxes." -- Corwin

"Fight mime with mime." -- Lisamarie Babik
"Just remember, mime doesn't pay." -- GM
"You should save one, since a mime is a terrible thing to waste." -- Duane Spencer

"I don't have to run faster than the mimes, I have to run faster than the slowest person." -- Random
"You pass a child, covered in molten peanut butter and marshmallow, with burns all over his body, hobbling along." -- GM

"We have to get out of here." -- Paul Burdick
"No, I want to destroy Avalon, Daddy!" -- Sasha Burdick

"It's the seven plagues." -- GM
"More like the seventeen plagues." -- Corwin
"The plague of mimes, the plague of peanut butter..." -- GM
"Mimes, marshmallows, peanut butter, Furbies, Amazons, Vikings, Langoliers..." -- D.J. Hyland
"Of course, the first plague was the Amberites." -- Duane Spencer
