Pat will be sharing what he and others from the States, including Rod Fleck, did while at the dig site this past June. In addition, they both will be highlighting the potential for local Peninsula College students and adult learners to participate in the efforts there in the future.

• Flying Frog / Ethan Lowe: Flying Frog Productions has been making highly thematic board games in Washington State for almost 20 years. From their flagship zombie survival game, Last Night on Earth, to their massive genre-spanning cooperative dungeon crawl, Shadows of Brimstone, they keep players in the middle of the action allowing them to be the heroes in their favorite cinematic genres.

Come drop by to play in special demo games of Shadows of Brimstone featuring the feudal Japan-themed Forbidden Fortress and play as Samurai, Monks, and Assassins as they take on creatures from Japanese myth and legend come to life.
