“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.

“You Wouldn't Steal a Car” is a West Marches (Roughly Connected) session in the Masks system, led by Ansel Burch

In this epic issue, our heroes face a real conundrum. Is it better to commit minor crimes or risk not saving the day? Introducing Sister Silver, the Happy Medium, all the way from Eastern Europe. Will our teenage capes come to terms with her predictions or find another devil to bargain with?

This game will be good if you like teenage superhero stories like Teen Titans and all those movies in the 80's and 90's that were fixated on teenage drama whilst saving the day. 

Players should build characters ahead.

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.

“The Golden Eyepatch” is a Standard One-Shot in the Sails and Legends system, led by Ansel Burch

"You are epic pirate captains in a loose confederation. Your mission is to explore the archipelago, deal with supernatural complications, and defend your gold against other pirates. The Admiral, Rakefelon Bones McBones, Slayer of the Hidden Sea, has been cursed by the gods of the sea to walk only on soil, leaving you to fend for yourselves while he climbs the tallest mountain he can reach to meet with the sky gods for help. 

This leaves you, the remaining captains, in charge of the fleet’s home port of Deepwash Anchorage for the time being. You must work together with your crews behind you to deal with whatever threats appear. Fail and Rakefelon Bones McBones will have you nailed to the deck for sure."

This game will be good if you like silly pirates. Our Flag Means Death, Pirates: Band of Misfits, One Piece, and Yellowbeard are all inspirations.

Delving into Darkness is a Standard One Shot in the Mazes system, led by Ansel Burch

With only your wits and torches to find the path, journey into the deepest parts of the world where creatures lurk on the very edge of survival and desperation. Will you become a tasty meal for the caustic beast? Will your heart stop at the sight of the vile portent? Will you fall victim to the envenomed blades of deep cultists? Only the soothsayers might guess.

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.

For the Pride is a Standard One-Shot in the "The King is Dead" system, led by Ansel Burch

The savannah has always been a place of competition and survival, even more so now that the Dominion of Lions has reformed the government around birthright, no more with the helter-skelter groping for power that our foremothers knew. Instead, now, from one generation to the next, power will follow cleanly. At least, that was the plan. With the death of Malkia, the families are in disarray, and power is ours to claim. Will your family take the throne? Will you wear the crown?

This game will be good if you like playing as an animal, messing with power structures and politics, heavy RP games, and interesting game systems.

Explore the Manse of Bluebeard, packed with secrets, not least of which is the one you carry. Will you defy his wishes, or are you loyal enough to resist the temptation of the hidden truth?


Each player takes on the role of an aspect of the Bride’s psyche—a Sister—who guides the Bride through Bluebeard’s house, armed with little more than a set of keys. Each of you takes turns speaking as these aspects of her psyche would speak, deciding what actions the Bride takes, pushing the Bride deeper into the mysteries of each room, and provoking new horrors along the way."

“Kids Day at Coaster Station” is a Standard One Shot in the Masks system. Led by Ansel Burch

Sometimes, the most important part of teenage superheroing is remembering to be a kid. Every year, Coaster Station opens its gates to all of the kids of Halcyon City and so far, the incidents have been pretty minor. Lady Indomitable has designed a coaster that takes the riders into low earth orbit for a survivable period of time for the ultimate rush of brief near-vacuum and weightlessness. So, the entire super community has been invited to Kids Day for the unveiling. This should be the safest year yet! 

This game will be great if you like comic books, Superhero movies, emotional damage, and working as a team despite your teenage tendencies.

Players should build characters ahead.

“A Blank Map, Worldbuilding Triptych” is a Standard One Shot in the Dialect system, led by Ansel Burch

"In one day, let us create and destroy a world. Throughout Saturday, we will devise a world using the tools and deck of Decuma, we will explore the pressures of a community living in that world through the lens of language in Dialect, and then you will see how that community ends in a Quiet Year.

The setting we build over the course of Saturday will be the subject of a game run in the Mavericks system on Monday. Sign up for any or all of these games to be a part of the lore."

This game will be great if you like creative exercises, answering prompts, and working together.

We will build characters in the session.

New players are welcome.

The game runner is very familiar with this system.

“Kids Day at Coaster Station” is a Standard One Shot in the Masks system. Led by Ansel Burch

“Kids Day at Coaster Station” is a Standard One Shot in the Masks system. Led by Ansel Burch

Sometimes, the most important part of teenage superheroing is remembering to be a kid. Every year, Coaster Station opens its gates to all of the kids of Halcyon City and so far, the incidents have been pretty minor. Lady Indomitable has designed a coaster that takes the riders into low earth orbit for a survivable period of time for the ultimate rush of brief near-vacuum and weightlessness. So, the entire super community has been invited to Kids Day for the unveiling. This should be the safest year yet! 

This game will be great if you like comic books, Superhero movies, emotional damage, and working as a team despite your teenage tendencies.

Players should build characters ahead.

This session will be especially good for new players.

“The Fruitcake of Justice” is a Standard One Shot in the Masks system. Led by Ansel Burch

"Charged with simultaneously protecting and (carefully) endangering Halcyon City's heroes in training, there are many ways that the Juvenile Justice Team deploys costumed assets under the age of majority. Not all of them are glorious. 


Maude Marvel is better known as her heroic alter ego, Chief Chef.She was an incredibly niche superhero in the 70's who fought crime using the French method which requires precise skills and a lot of butter. Now she's more of a curiosity with 60 years of history stored in her brain. Spending a week with her has become something of a rite of passage for young heroes when crime fighting gets a little thin over the winter holidays.


Will our heroes be able to help an octogenarian make a fruit cake? Will it teach them about teamwork and Aegis history? Can they keep from going absolutely feral with minimal supervision?"
