I'm running a game at the Cold Wars Convention in a couple of weeks.  It will be using the Frostgrave/Ghost Archipelago rules but with a different setting.  This is The School of Night, an arcane war is being waged in Elizabethan England.  For this particular game, the warbands are searching for a lost manuscript of Dr. Faustus by Christopher Marlowe that can open a portal to hell.  I've more details on my blog:

Thanks!  Technically, it's the Rose Theatre, the Globe wasn't built in 1593 when the game is set.  Although, in our play test, the Rose nearly suffered the same fate as the Globe, what with a cannon being set off near the thatch roof.

"A Rose by any other name is still a Globe", eh, but in any case, glorious work there. Very impressive.

That is a lovely table, I have plans to bring some of that Dee/Marlowe etc. fodder into Solomon Kane games too, so much to mine from it.

Excellent; love the table, love the ideas, love the scenario and love the last line of the AAR:
