Envoy to Boulderdeep
Oct

Envoy to Boulderdeep

A Standard One Shot session in the D&D 5e system, led by Adam Mc.

It has been over a fortnight since you’ve heard anything from the normally bustling dwarven town of Boulderdeep. Scouts have reported that, strangely, both surface entrances to town have collapsed. You have volunteered to join a small envoy that will attempt to reach Boulderdeep through a disused mineshaft and make contact with the Under-jarl, Ulf Stoneshield. There are many dangerous things that can lurk underground, but you’ve got a very personal reason for venturing there.

This game will be great if you like LOTR

This is a game for 6th lvl dwarf characters.

Players should build 6th level dwarf characters ahead. Any officially published classes are fine, but only 1 party member per class.

This game will be great for new players.

Electric Bastionland

A game of Electric Bastionland led by Adam Mc.

"Bastion... the electric city, the only city that matters. Everything is here. Everything is complicated. Everything is electric. In the Underground, Machines undermine reality. Aliens are here from beneath the living stars. You have a FAILED career. You have COLOSSAL debt. Whatever you were, your debt has forced you to become a treasure hunter. Treasure is your only hope. The expedition will change you. Time to get out into the city and make some money.

OSR style system. Easy enough to pick up as you go along. Simple character creation. Emphasis on teamwork."

This game will be great if you like Bioshock, Brazil, Guillermo DelToro movies, and Mike Mignola comics.

Storm Island Temple
Sep

Storm Island Temple

A game in the D&D5e system, led by Adam Mc

Many ages ago, a temple devoted to Deneir (a god of Art, Literature, and Scholarly pursuits) was raised on a small island at the center of a picturesque lake. It was hastily abandoned by its adherents when the island was hit by a freak storm. Several years have passed, and the Elevated Sages of Deneir would like their temple back! They’ve hired you to re-consecrate the temple and “deal with” anything that may have moved in since the temple’s abandonment. Should be simple enough… right?

This game will be great if you like Raiders of the Lost Ark, Labyrinth, Tomb Raider, The Witcher

Players should build level 5 characters ahead. Open to any PUBLISHED ancestry/class. Point-buy or Standard array for stats ONLY. Players should “buy” no more than 200gold worth of equipment. Please NO homebrew, or at least ask first. 1 magic item of Uncommon rarity.

This game will be great for new players.

Giant’s Rest: The Palace of Light

A game in the D&D 5e System, led by Adam Mc.

Anyone who’s anyone in Giant’s Rest has heard of the Palace of Light. Part nightclub, part arcane research lab. A glowing, buzzing, flickering beacon in an otherwise gray town. Nights are long in the city of perpetual rain, and the nightlife makes them a little more bearable.

But all is not well within the walls of the Palace of Light. A string of disappearances, a mysterious starlet, and strange disembodied voices from out of thin air. Inquisitor Markel has once again sent out the call for assistance, maybe you can get to the bottom of things.

This game will be great if you like Blade Runner, Maltese Falcon, Brazil, Dark City.

This game will be best for those who have played some TTRPGs before.

This game is for 5th level characters. No homebrew please. Standard array or point-buy only. Use average for HP, standard equipment plus one uncommon magic item.

Monster of the Week: AGENCY '88

A game in the Monster of the Week system, led by Adam Mc.

The year is 1988. You are a member of THE AGENCY, a shadowy task force charged with keeping humanity in the dark about ghosts, cryptids, extra-terrestrials, and other supernatural phenomena. The government disavows any official knowledge about the existence of THE AGENCY. So it is up to you to infiltrate, monitor, and if necessary capture or even eliminate these supernatural threats without the general populace catching wind of your operation. Your latest assignment: Abbottsville, Nebraska. Three town residents have been the unfortunate victims of some sort of animal attack. This normally wouldn't be enough to warrant a visit, except for some highly unusual weather preceding the attacks. The intelligence and monitoring division has decided that it's cause enough to send a team. Grab your gear, your intel, and your fake identity and get crackin'.

This game will be great if you like Men in Black, The A-Team, X-Files, Back to the Future.

Players should build characters ahead. Adam Mc will be in contact via email or Discord PM with further instructions.

Giant's Rest: City of Rain

A game in the D&D 5e system, led by Adam Mc.

Just down the mountain from Raptor’s Peak and across the Xanar plains lies the town of Giant’s Rest. Tall, gray, and wet, the city has been built from the stones of a crashed storm-giant castle and the clouds that hang over the city sky never stop pouring.

Inquisitor Markel, an investigator for the Temple of the Watchful God, has sent a summons looking for keen minds and sharp eyes. The city is full of secrets, far too many for one man to uncover on his own. Like one of the town founders recently turning up dead under suspicious circumstances. Perhaps you can help!

This game will be great if you like Blade Runner, Maltese Falcon, Dark City, Sin City.

Players should build level 5 characters ahead.
Most PUBLISHED ancestry/classes are accepted, but please check first. Standard-array or point-buy for stats (no rolling). Standard equipment, one uncommon item permitted.

This game will be best for players who have played some RPGs previously.

This game will lean a little to the serious and balance roke play with combat.
