[color:"yellow"]Welcome adventurers, to a new story entitled: [/color][color:"pink"]Define Infinity[/color][color:"yellow"]. This artform has been successful in stories like The Wasteland Chronicles and its predecessors. But this story starts out with you, the authors, arriving at the Larian Gaming Conclave as your real-life selves. Your characters should begin by arriving at the Convention Center prepared to register at the Check-In Desk.

Let us begin ...[/color]

------------------------------------

Having waited impatiently for weeks, the envelope from Larian Studios arrived in the post today.

The words across the top of the letter are embossed in gold: [color:"orange"]"Congratulations! Your application to attend Larian Studio's gala 2003 Larian Gaming Conclave has been accepted."[/color] The rest of the letter gaily summarizes your itinerary, meeting agendas, your hotel reservations, and, of course, acknowledges receipt of your deposit of 475 Euro, the remainder to be paid in full upon your arrival.

The envelope also contains the following:
  • A voucher for transportation from Saint Pieters' Station to your lodging at the Convention Center in Oudenaarde.
  • A voucher for three days and two nights lodging. Room upgrades may be available on a limited basis.
  • A schedule of seminars, demonstrations, and exhibits.
  • Directions to and from various local attractions, eating/drinking establishments, and other points of interest.
  • An embossed invitation to a Special Conference, with a note attached.

The last item catches your eye. The note says:[color:"yellow"] "This conference is by special invitation only. You have been chosen to attend because of your inciteful and interesting posts on the Larian Forums. If you intend to participate in this event, you must R.S.V.P. at the Check-In Desk on the first day of the conclave."[/color] The note is signed in gold ink: [color:"orange"]"Lar"[/color]
