Dragon's Eye Adventures will be returning to the Landing YMCA for two weeks this summer. Session VIII will run from Monday, August 20 - 24, for all ages (6 to 16). The hours are the same: 9 AM to 4 PM for the adventure, with after hours until 5:30 PM.

Session VIII will feature a mystery called "Joker's Wild: Second Edition." A mysterious deck of cards leads the detectives into the unknown, where Ace is high and Joker's Wild spells trouble. Our story will be generated from a random draw from a deck of cards. Detectives will create their own secret cards as the week progresses, trying to counteract the dangers of the ones already in the deck.

Our projects this week will include the story cards, our own set of dice and a handsewn pouch to hold them.

Dragon's Eye Adventures will be returning to the Landing YMCA for two weeks this summer. Session VII will run from Monday, August 13 - 17, for all ages (6 to 16). The hours are the same: 9 AM to 4 PM for the adventure, with after hours until 5:30 PM.

Session VII will feature an adventure that is among my oldest stories. Red stars abound in this high chaos mystery called "Blackheart's Ruby." It features a magical amulet called the Bone Ruby. The Detectives undertake a quest to discover its origins, trailing the clues back to 18th century Madagascar. This ruby was nonce owned by a pirate queen named Blackheart, and our heroes will have to sign on as her crew if they wish to solve this case. We'll see if they can convince her to take them aboard the Rabblerouser.

Our projects will include our own Bone Rubies with their accompanying pirate maps.
