Unseen Dragon announced The Festival of the Silver Serpent on Facebook a while ago, and I’ve been lax in posting news about it. So, just so you know, Unseen Dragon is hosting an event he is calling The Festival of the Silver Serpent at his home in Columbia, Maryland, on June 13th and 14th.

What is The Festival of the Silver Serpent

• A fun gathering of Ultima fans who have gotten together over the years at a number of events in person and online
• A gathering where you can share some good food, enjoy fine drink, and reconnect with those we have become close with over the years
• A chance to again walk back through the Moongate into the world of Britannia with an Ultima-themed narrative underpinning the weekend’s events
• Experience an in-person “Treasures from the Origin Museum” hosted by Joe Garrity
• Boffer-bracket!!
• An opportunity to see Unseen’s Lego collection on display
• Some unexpected surprises!

What it is not

• It is not a full live-action roleplaying (LARP) experience. While there are story-driven elements to it, it is not a two day LARP. The Festival of the Silver Serpent is supposed to be just that, a festival.
• It is not a repeat of other Ultima fan events. It will have its own style and feel.
• This is an event to promote fun and virtue. It is not a place to bring outside issues, air grievances, or raise problems. I try to keep a very positive and happy mojo in my house, and expect this event to only enhance that.

Want to attend? Read the rules and RSVP to jdrasin@yahoo.com.

Hit up the event website for more details, and the rules mentioned above. This won’t be a massive gathering of hundreds; Unseen is currently planning to limit the guest list to just 25 seats. Sign up quickly, then, if you’re at all interested in attending!
