The Drums are Beating. Will You Be the Sacrifice?

The retreat from Tenochtitlan was a bloodbath. They call it La Noche Triste—The Sad Night—but for you, the sadness ended when the screaming started. Now, it’s just about survival.

I’m bringing PsychScape Historical to Con of the North this February, and I’m looking for players who don't mind getting their hands dirty. I’m running "Nextlahualli of Eztli" (Sacrifice of Blood) as three separate, standalone one-shot sessions.

New to the system? No problem. These are fast, brutal, and designed to get you into the action immediately. You don't need a campaign commitment—just three hours of tactical focus.

The Mission Briefing

You are the shattered survivors of a conquistador column. Your powder is wet, your armor is heavy, and the Mexican jungle is closing in. Behind you? The relentless Aztec war drums. Ahead? A pyramid waiting for its next offering.

In this tight, tactical PsychScape scenario, your mind is as much a battlefield as the mud beneath your boots. Outthink the pursuit, or bleed for the gods. Survive the night, or become history.

Three Chances to Survive (Standalone Sessions)

Since these are one-shots, you only need to sign up for one slot to get the full experience. Pick the time that fits your schedule:

  • Friday, Feb 13th @ 6:00 PM
  • Saturday, Feb 14th @ 11:00 AM
  • Saturday, Feb 14th @ 6:00 PM

Note: If you see me at the Little Wars table Friday morning or the Battletech match on Sunday, come say hello—but if you want to play PsychScape, these three slots are your only window.

Secure Your Spot

Don't wait until the drums are at your back. Table space is limited, and these slots will fill up fast.

  1. Register at Con of the North to secure your convention badge and sign up for the session.
  2. Read the Full Intel: If you want a deeper look at the grim reality of this scenario, check out the lore briefing here: The Night of Blood Beckons.

The jungle is waiting. The priest is sharpening his blade.

Will you be a survivor, or just another sacrifice?
