Upcoming Cons!
The Great Dungeon Luncheon is a Standard One Shot in the Daggerheart (Beast Feast campaign frame) system, led by Sean (Spoony)
"A rustic, peaceful village sits atop a labyrinthine system of caverns full of dangerous and delectable creatures. Such tasty threats are usually held at bay by a magical ward and tend to only be the concern of courageous adventurers. However, when an important shipment of foodstuffs needed for an upcoming festival goes missing, the bravest villagers in town must take it upon themselves to descend into the cave system and save the day.
In this Beast Feast campaign frame of Daggerheart, you’ll play everyday heroes diving into the caverns in search of delicious beasties from which you might cook up delicious dishes. Sure, you may be a baker armed with a rolling pin and a prayer, but how hard can adventuring be, really? Anyway, welcome to a culinary world of zoophagous delight, where the beasts you fight become the food you eat!"
This game will be great if you like lighthearted dungeon crawls, the Delicious in Dungeon anime or Monster Hunter video games.
Level 1 pregen characters will be provided and players can work with the GM to build a character ahead of time, if desired.
New players are welcome., Players need to have played some RPGs.

“Milk” is a Standard One Shot in the Old School Essentials system, led by Mark.
"In the cavernous depths of a mountain lies a lake of pure milk, inhabited by a tribe of peaceful merfolk. Their king and queen, aided by dwarf servants, use the milk to manufacture the most exquisite chocolate truffles in existence. The truffles are said to be so delicious as to soften even the most hardened of hearts. People from all over the world visit the lake to buy these irresistible creations.
Recently, truffle production has mysteriously ceased, the dwarves have disappeared, and in nearby cities, scores of disreputable merchants have begun hawking inferior products said to be created in the mountain.
Can our heroes uncover the truth about what is going on under the mountain?"

“The Classics” is a West Marches (Roughly Connected) session in the Masks system. Led by Ansel Burch.
Clifton Bay connects Halcyon City to the wide ocean and has been the focus of community life in the region since the first peoples built their village here. It is now home to the statue of the Triumvirate, a celebrated symbol of protection. Not many people know that it was originally called “The Statue of Liberation”, sculpted by Marlene Framble. The statue’s three faces looked out with steely (bronze, actually) determination over the city's weak and endangered people. It inspired the birth of the Alliance of Super Saviors and attracted the attention of Lady Indomitable’s people from across the stars. That was a long time ago. Since then, it's been remade about 50 times. Enough that the unveilings only attract the deputy mayor and a handful of onlookers. It’s enough to drive an artist mad…
This game will be good if you like teenage superheroes and sidekicks, as well as Marvel movies.

"Some people go off into the world and become too big for their hometown. It happened to my brother. He writes every once in a while and once tried to visit, but this place just isn't big enough for him anymore.
That's why I had to bring you all here. That's the emergency. We got a letter last week, and it's suspicious. Everything about it raises red flags. I know if you read it, it all seems innocuous and normal. Trust me, if you knew my brother, you'd know that there's no way he could have written anything like this. That's why I'm putting together a group to go to the big city. We're going to find my brother and make sure he's okay. It won't be easy, I don't know. I don't know the first thing about life in that place. How do they get around? What kind of dangers might there be? What is the food like? How much money should we bring?
Every family in the valley has someone who went off to the big city. So, the way I see we all have reason to worry if something's wrong there. We've got to go and see for ourselves. "

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.

“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 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
We will build beginning characters in the session.
New players are welcome.

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 game will be great if you like variable stakes, teenagers solving adult problems, comic books.
Players should build characters ahead.

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 game runner will provide level 1 characters
If players are familiar with the material, they can build their own characters with GM final approval

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.
This game will be great if you like dungeon crawls that are mostly about lore.
