“The Shattered Oak” a Standard One Shot in the Mausritter system. Led by Nona de Koning
Jan

“The Shattered Oak” a Standard One Shot in the Mausritter system. Led by Nona de Koning

The syrup-making mice of Maplemoor have lost contact with their garrison in Oakhollow Keep, a lightning-hollowed stump vital to the colony’s security. What happened there? What threats remain? And what secrets yet lie in the keep? Tread carefully and think creatively, for the very traps and defenses that hinder your investigation may yet be used against your foes…

About Mausritter:

The settled mice huddle together, hidden in their settlements in trees and burrows and walls, scraping and saving. A tenuous existence. You are not like those settled mice. By choice or by necessity you are an adventurer. You live by your luck, your smarts, your bravery. With your friends by your side, you will abandon the warmth and safety of the mouse settlements and venture forth into the dark and dangerous places where other mice do not dare to tread. There is great wealth to be found by those who are willing to take it.

It's a huge and dangerous world out there. It does not look kindly on a small mouse. But if you are very brave and very clever and just a bit lucky, you might be able to survive. And if you survive long enough, you might even become a hero amongst mice."

This game will be great if you like OSR-style RPGs, Redwall, The Rescuers, The Hobbit, Over The Hedge, and Thumbelina.

We will build level 1 characters in the session. Character creation is lightning-quick and involves just a few random rolls. We'll do this together at the start of the session. If you've played Mausritter before and want to bring an existing character, contact me upfront to discuss.

This session will be especially good for new players.

“Bug-Catching Contest” a Standard One Shot in the Pokeymanz system. Led by Nona de Koning

Nona de Koning’s Game Runner Profile

https://www.indecisionist.com/ttrpg-pickup-con-game-runners/Nona-de-Koning

"Pokeymanz is a TTRPG in the Pokémon setting using a hack of the Savage Worlds system. Battles follow the cinematic style of the anime more so than videogame stats. Moves must be roleplayed out and player creativity is highly encouraged! Using a dice step system with exploding dice, encounters will stay tense until the very end :D You do not need to be familiar with the system, but you should be enthusiastic about Pokémon (no need for a lot of knowledge) and like the idea of coming up with creative descriptions during combat.

For this introductory one shot, your Trainers will take part in the well known Bug-Catching Contest. Using just one starter Pokémon, can you catch the best one before fainting or running out of Sport Balls? If they make swift work of the competition, they can compete in a follow-up Contest in the nearby arena using their newly caught Pokémon! "

This game will be great if you like Pokémon, Digimon etc, creative roleplay, cinematic combat, Savage Worlds

The game runner will provide beginner level characters. Players can pick from several starter Pokémon upfront as well as customize their Trainer

The GM will offer several choices of starter Pokémon and trainer types.

New players are welcome.

"As long as any mouse can remember, the Everstorm has raged. Torrential downpours, stiff winds, and the crackle of lightning and thunder engulf the area around a half-buried abandoned power transformer.

Those few folk that enter the storm return raving about the living dead, a haunting spectre made entirely of lightning, and the mad lightning wizard behind it all.

Lately, the dead have grown more bold, attacking and dragging travelers deep within the transformer. Are your mice brave enough to weather the Everstorm and stop the living dead?"

This game will be great if you like Redwall, The Rescuers, The Hobbit, Over The Hedge, OSR style RPGs

We will build level 1 characters in session.

We'll randomly roll up characters at the start, which is a quick and easy process! No knowledge or preparations are needed. If you have previously played Mausritter and want to bring an old character, contact me upfront.

Check out the rules!- https://losing-games.itch.io/mausritter

Each scheduled game will be a different adventure not run at Pickup Con before, so sign up for as many as you like :) About Mausritter:

The mouse kingdoms survive on the edge of collapse. A harsh winter or heartless cat could spell the end for all. The settled mice huddle together, hidden in their settlements in trees and burrows and walls, scraping and saving. A tenuous existence.

But you are not like those settled mice. By choice or by necessity you are an adventurer.

You live by your luck, your smarts, your bravery. With your friends by your side, you will abandon the warmth and safety of the mouse settlements and venture forth into the dark and dangerous places where other mice do not dare to tread. There is great wealth to be found by those that are willing to take it.

It's a huge and dangerous world out there. It does not look kindly on a small mouse. But if you are very brave and very clever and just a bit lucky, you might be able to survive. And if you survive long enough, you might even become a hero amongst mice."

“The Big Score” a Standard One Shot in the Crash Pandas system. Led by Collin R.

Get caught up in the lucrative (and highly illegal) Los Angeles street racing circuit and win big! Also, you're a bunch of raccoons. Driving the same car. While you may not ascribe intrinsic value to the "paper" that humans call money, it's certainly useful for getting things you want from them. And a local human happens to be selling off their junkyard full of valuable garbage for a fee that only an illegal street racing raccoon could hope to afford.

This game will be great if you like Wacky Races, animals acting like people, making Los Angeles even more dangerous for pedestrians, and general lighthearted chaos

“Mausritter: Broken Oaken Tower” a Standard One Shot in the Mausritter system. Led by Nona de Koning.

While in the forest, the mice spot an infamous oak. This garry oak was once home to a powerful wizard named Illeschix. He performed arcane research within and served the needs of the small woodland folk who lived in the meadows, mostly through acorn-based magic. Years ago during a rainstorm, lightning struck the tree, breaking its largest branch and briefly setting the trunk on fire. After that, the wizard stopped leaving the tower at all. These days, people who get too close have a tendency to mysteriously disappear...

“The Witch Is Dead” (by Grant Howitt) a Standard One Shot using The Witch Is Dead one page rules. Led by Rayne Bakcheious

"Today dawns a sad day for your groups of familiars. In the night, your witch was murdered by one of the foulest hunters in the land. As you lick your wounds from the battle you recall an ancient legend: If you can kill a witch hunter and bring his eyes back to her body -- your witch can return from the dead.

Guess there's only one thing to do. "

Mausritter: The Flood Priest's Garden

A Standard One Shot in the Mausritter system. Led by Nona de Koning

In a garden, once used as a holy site by members of the Order of the Green Mice, sits a pond and a large apple tree, as well as a dark secret. From the depths of the pond, a catfish has seduced a wizened mouse mage into doing his dark bidding. High atop his tower in the apple tree, the Flood Priest uses magic from the deep to flood all of the garden and turn it into the realm of the catfish. Strange creatures have emerged from the water and the mice of Terra-Potta are fleeing the garden in droves. Rumors have been stirring that the end is near, and all will soon become the Flood Priest's Garden. You are among the few who refuse to flee. There must be a way for the catfish to be taken down or the flood priest to be stopped, perhaps after making proper alliances. Whatever you do, do it soon before the flood consumes all.

This game will be great if you like Redwall, The Rescuers, The Hobbit, Over The Hedge, Thumbelina, and OSR style RPGs

Mausritter: “Drained Temple of the Brackish Basin” A Standard One Shot in the Mausritter system. Led by Nona de Koning

"Brineford is a small settlement on the shore of a saltwater pond known as the Brackish Basin. Its inhabitants have built their buildings from river stones, woven reeds, and mud under the protective umbrella of a small cascade of water that feeds the pond from the freshwater Goldenfork river.

When a group of beavers build a dam upstream, however, the protective waterfall and the pond dry out, along with Brineford’s livelihood. As the citizens of Brineford try to negotiate with the beavers to restore the river, they discover something else: an ancient stone door at the bottom of the drained pond. What can be inside, and does it hold the secret of the saltwater? It's up to your group of brave adventurers to venture inside and find out!"

Crash Pandas: Santa Clara Curves

A Standard One Shot of Crash Pandas, led by Ansel Burch

The streets are mean but you can be meaner. Only a tight-knit team of raccoon racers like yours would be able to make it in the cutthroat world of street racing. No matter what curves the track may have, you're going to keep it together, 'cause you're a unit, a group, almost a family of sorts.

This game will be great if you like the Fast & Furious, GTA, and that one dream you had after eating too much questionable takeout right before bed.

We will build characters in the session.

Good, Strong Hands

A game in the Good, Strong Hands system, led by Ansel

"Good Strong Hands is a tabletop roleplaying game (RPG) about fighting back against the darkness that threatens to destroy your world. It’s set in the fictional world of Reverie. A reverie is a daydream, a happy place to lose oneself. The world of Reverie has been just that for quite some time. But that could change.

You and your friends will tell stories of fantastic folk who strive to keep Reverie

alive, to prevent the Void from consuming and destroying their beloved home. The

stories you tell will be those of friendship, teamwork, self-empowerment, overcoming

harmful forces, and dealing with a world in crisis."
