“The Land of Giants” is a Standard One Shot in the Mavericks system, led by Ansel Burch

"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. "

This game will be great if you like switching perspectives, trying something new, and getting into danger.

The game runner will provide characters.

The Forsaken Vault of the Crimson Oracle is a Standard One-Shot in the Dungeon Crawl Classics system, led by Bruce Rusk

"A Zero-level Adventure for Dungeon Crawl Classics

An evil wizard has plundered a vault of ancient lore, causing a seismic catastrophe that traps your entire village and all its inhabitants under the earth, likely to be killed by the malevolent creatures in this strange underworld. Now the former villagers must make their escape from this terrible place, perhaps learning its secrets as they do.

This is a zero-level funnel. Each player will run 4 PCs to gold and glory, or an ignominious death. Any survivors will level up and be ready for future adventures.

Noob friendly, no experience needed."

This game will be great if you like Gonzo OSR action and weird phantasy adventure.

“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.

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.

Secrets of the Sky Spear is a Standard One-Shot in the Daggerheart system. Led by Sean

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.

Players need to have played some RPGs.

Players will be learning this system together with the game runner.

“Hammer of the Earth” a Standard One Shot in The Ultimate Micro-RPG Book system. Led by Nona de Koning.
Feb

“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?

Better act fast, heroes!

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.

The Sanctum of Screams is a Standard One Shot in the Age of Adventure RPG system, led by GM Age

“When the light of the moon falls upon the chapel the screams are heard. Most of the villagers have now long abandoned the cursed hamlet, while the remaining few brave the night in fearful silence. Can you restore peace by silencing the Sanctum of Screams?”

This game will be great if you like heroic fantasy meets unspeakable horror

“Blood in the Water” is a Standard one-shot in the Rapscallion, led by Ansel Burch

“Blood in the Water” is a Standard one-shot in the Rapscallion, led by Ansel Burch

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. 

This game will be good if you like pirates on the edge of destruction and fantastical adventures driven by personal need.

We will build characters in session.

New players are welcome.

The game runner is very familiar with this system.

“The Terror of Dagger Bay” is a Standard One-Shot in the Deck system, led by Ansel Burch.
Sep

“The Terror of Dagger Bay” is a Standard One-Shot in the Deck system, led by Ansel Burch.

There are a few pirates in the world who haven't been to Dagger Bay. It's a rite of passage to sail along the bay from the false edge to the true. It's said that the blade won't cut down those tougher than steel. What happens to the others may be too gruesome to tell. Can your crew exfiltrate a young myrfolk and a flylander who ran off to become pirates?

This game will be good if you like Pirates of the Caribbean, Hook, and Sea Hawk. 

The game runner will provide characters.

Save the Cat! is a West Marches (Roughly Connected) session in the Masks system, led by Ansel Burch.

Save the Cat! is a West Marches (Roughly Connected) session in the Masks system, led by Ansel Burch.

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. Lady Indomitable keeps vaporizing bystanders by accident and Comandante America just will not stop expressing his outdated views in post-heroics interviews. We need some real image rehabilitation, and plucky teenagers seem like the way to go. This game is perfect for fans of superheroes, teenage shenanigans, and emotional drama. Players should build characters ahead. Playbooks will be provided before the session. Characters played in this universe previously are welcome to return.

New players are welcome.

The game runner is very familiar with this system.
