Against the Clock West Marches (Roughly Connected) session in the Masks system, led by Ansel Burch
The Tock Tickler has long been a villain that the adult heroes did not think their teen counterparts should face, mostly because of the name. Everyone agrees that it's just a little too dicey to talk about with teens. Today, there is no choice. The Tock Tickler has taken time to track these teens and try to teach them to tangle temporally.
This game will be good if you like Teen Titans, Marvel movies, sassy and emotionally vulnerable characters, and effects that occasionally come before cause.

“Hammer of the Earth” a Standard One Shot in The Ultimate Micro-RPG Book system. Led by Nona de Koning.
For the city to survive, it must move. Hammer of the Earth is an adventure game about humans who worship the last machine in a world ruled by vines. You are Outriders, individuals who ensure the fuel supply for Hammer. It's the last bastion of civilization in the form of a gargantuan train, each carriage housing ten thousand souls, navigating an endless network of tracks. If the train stops, they are all doomed. The Navigator (GM) picked you from your various factions to keep the train moving. Presented with a limited clock and numerous obstacles, can you get back in time? Success or failure, you must all work together, even if in the end only one of you is held responsible for the outcome... Hammer of the Earth is part of The Ultimate Micro-RPG Book, an anthology of 2-page games. This means it's very rules-light and very easy to learn, but players should be comfortable using their own imagination without many rules to hold on to. This game will be great if you like rules-light adventures, countdown clocks, an impending sense of doom and trying desperately to be the hero when everything seems to be against you.
We'll create characters together at the start of the game, it only takes mere minutes.

“The Bramble Gamble Scramble” is a Standard One Shot in the Daggerheart system led by Ley
You’ve made it! Your team and the other finalists have made it to the final event of the Bramble Gamble Scramble! It’s been the first one held in years since the unfortunate ending of the last Scramble, and you’re determined to put your town on the map. You’ve trained in every situation you can think of, you passed every prelim with flying colors. You just have to make it to the end before the other teams, and the glory is yours! At least, it could be yours…if you don’t run out of time.
This game is great if you like the diverse challenges, mystery, and creativity.
We will build level 2 characters in session.

Secrets of the Sky Spear is a Standard One-Shot in the Daggerheart system. Led by Sean
"On a primeval world untouched by civilization, scattered hunter-gatherer tribes of many thinking species struggle to survive amid colossal beasts and deadly wilderness.
What begins as a routine hunt turns extraordinary when a blazing star falls from the heavens...embedding itself in the earth like a jagged spearhead the size of a mountain!
What is it? A weapon of the gods, a relic from beyond the stars, or something far stranger?
Step into an awe-inspiring and alien landscape on the day everything changes. Unearth impossible discoveries. Experiment with mysterious artifacts you absolutely should not be touching. Survive long enough to tell the tale...and perhaps alter the course of your world’s earliest history."
This game will be great if you like curiosity-driven adventures, crafting mechanics, and poking dangerous things with sticks.
The game runner will provide level 1 characters. Reference documentation, character options, and example traits will be provided.

The Dungeon of Unreliable Doors is a Standard One-Shot in the Mazes system, led by Ansel Burch
Getting from one side of the stronghold to the other has become a rite of passage for adventurers of all stripes and origins. The challenge, of course, is navigating through the ever-changing corridors and chambers of what was once the most esteemed institution of magic in all the world. Now, it's just a lot of nonsense with occasional bursts of real peril. What more could an adventurer hope for?
This game will be great if you like random tables, classic crawls

Under Where? is a West Marches (Roughly Connected) session in the Masks system, led by Ansel Burch
The Aegis Archives, housed underneath the headquarters building, have been blown open by the might of the ImMoleAtor, the flaming, half mole, half gator man made a royal mess of the whole thing, as well as exposing that there were some things best kept secret in those vaults. Will our heroes be able to help contain the threat and get things put back into dewy decimal order before the press finds out about THE FACILITY hidden beneath the floors, the imprisoned Atom Splitter, or your actual school transcripts? Better act fast, heroes!

This Will Be Graded is a Standard One-Shot in the Daggerheart system. Led by Ley
This is it! The Demonstration Dungeon: the final test before you all get to call yourselves full fledged *trained* adventurers, licensed to go out and scour the notice boards for fame and fortune, and maybe even help some people along the way. You’ve worked so hard for this. But so have all the other teams, and the team with the highest grade gets the coveted Golden Key. Except, you’re not really sure *how* they grade this, and you’ve only passed by some of your teammates in the hall sometimes. You suppose the only thing to do is do your best!
This game is great if you like exploration, team strategy, and time-based challenges.

The Dungeon Deck is a Standard One-Shot in the Mavericks system, led by Ansel Burch
In the deepest part of the city of Vjernigas festers the abandoned guild of dungeoneers. The ancient order once tunneled through the region, protecting the growing communities of the Hartwood from subterranean threats. It's been centuries since they disbanded, and the creatures of the wide caverns have overcome their old taboos and are beginning the scrabble at the underside of the city's foundations. The Sovereign has promised lavish funding to anyone who resurrects the old order and begins the process of clearing out the tunnels. It won't be easy, but it will be... exciting.

Sail the strange seas with a crew of magic-touched, vice-driven, twice damned pirates. The Leviathan's horde calls to the captain, and for the first time, our assorted ghosts, djinn, demons, and monsters are in agreement. We stand to profit enormously if we can get to the skull grotto before the beast. The scaly bastard's been seen on the other side of the world. Even at his speed, we should have a couple of days for the heist of the decade.

If we're going to keep up the public image of heroes in Halcyon City, we need to be seen doing some unambiguously good stuff.

Kids in the Bend | An "Our First Adventure" Playtest. Led by Rayne Bakcheious
"As a kid growing up in the small, swamp town of Higgit's Bend, there's not much else to get up to besides trouble. Which is why it's especially unfair that you and your friends are grounded on the day the traveling carnival comes to town. But you're not going to let that stop you from seeing the exotic animals and arcane mysteries that await behind those brightly colored carts. It's time to have your first adventure...
"Our First Adventure" is a (unlicensed fan) modification of the "Kids on Bikes" system, designed to allow for a modern and simpler playstyle in a more traditional high-fantasy setting. This will be my second playtest of the system.
This game will be great if you like Kids on Bikes, Kids on Brooms, Never Stop Blowing Up
Players should build characters ahead.
We will build characters in session.
I'll be providing a PDF of my new rule-set to players before the game if you would like to build your character ahead of time. We'll also go over character creation at the top of the session if you would like to build it then. It shouldn't take more than 15-20mins.
You will be playing as a resident of a small town in the middle of a swamp called Higgit's Bend. It's a former mining town on the far, forgotten edge of a large empire. The townsfolk have renounced imperian forms of currency and have built a thriving community that relies on each other for what they need. Your character can any type of body that you can dream up, provided it fits within a high-fantasy, low-technology context. "

The Song of Bell Chapel
The people of the Obsidian Mountains have many stories of what they call the Bell Chapel. Sitting in a remote and dangerous part of the forest, it was said to once be a temple to a Twin Faced God of the Underworld. Hundreds of years ago people would come from far and wide with the remains of their loved ones, so that they might be carefully tended to by the monks and sent to their final rest.
The forest was once filled with the songs of clear ringing bells. But now their god's name is forgotten, and the halls of their monastery stand silent. Until now, when the bells ring out through the forest once again.
In this adventure you’ll play as members of the Red Hand Adventuring League who have been hired to investigate Bell Chapel. Local villagers suspect bandits may be using the old temple as a base of operations but no thefts have been reported yet.
This game will be great if you like Dimension 20, Indian Jones, or the general idea of adventure stories.
The players will need to create characters beforehand.
