The "Forerunner Recon: ODST" scenario will be a war between the Covenant and and the fresh faced UNSC Marines and ODST Hell Jumpers. The first wave of Spartans reinforcements have arrived to help the young recruits while the first wave of renegade Spartans have just showed up to counter the UNSC forces. Who will prevail?

Gauntlet Star
- System: Gauntlet Star

This is a fantastic game system created from the ground up by our very own CdS team. This system can be adapted to many different genre of games such as Live Action Role Playing (LARP), Table Top Board Game (TTBG) or even your traditional Table Top Role playing Game (RPG). The game universe was designed to be as flexible as you want it to be. The story line for this game begins with the beginning of time and continues much past our present day. This particular module will be set in a slightly modern day, post apocalyptic future that will reveal itself to be frighteningly possible in the real world.

Forerunner
Narrows made its debut at DunDraCon 32 in February 2008 to a crowd of gamers that had never played before but cold not resist after seeing the detail in the map. This brought a whole new element to an otherwise 2D game.
DiC:K RC
The DiC:K RC is a kart racing game variant of the ever so popular Halo 3. This game variant had seldom been seen up to the point of its release, but the DiC:CdS team has been hard at work building an all new Kart game variant from the ground up. This variant is meant to be used on specially engineered maps which allow you to keep score, more like a real kart racing game. The game itself will initially only include the race scoring system but with the subsequent map pack release there will be a battle mode similar to other racing games, say like Mario kart? Patches and revisions of any game type or map release will be the current one posted on "DiC No JacKBacKs" file share and soon to be on "DiC Bodycount"s file share for free download.
This action packed racing add on for Halo 3 will bring a whole new level of excitement to one of the best selling games in Microsoft's history. This core pack features the RACETRACKs Game Type so you can start playing instantly and develop your driving skills while cruising 3 specially designed custom maps made by our very own CdS team.
