Carnage Noir

Every year in November, Carnage hosts a weekend of tabletop gaming at the Lake Morey Resort in Fairlee, VT. This year, the fifteenth such occasion, from the afternoon of Friday, November 2nd to the afternoon of Sunday the 4th, three days are dedicated to playing the best and newest in games, including board games, card games, miniatures, and role-playing games.

Death Wears Black

This year’s theme at Carnage is noir. That includes not only detectives, dames, cynical attitudes and crime, but all the permutations and crossovers imaginable. Who Framed Roger Rabbit pays homage to the noir genre and sets up a pretty spiffy Toon universe, for instance. Cast an eye over some classic film noir titles and let your mind run free to mash the imagery and tropes together with tabletop gaming.
