Deep in the heart of the world, there is a mighty cache of magic. Where rock and soil give way, it leaks up to the surface. Seeping magic fuels the work of the few dozen mages scattered across the width of the expanse. The Prophecy of the Eighth has long held that a mighty warlord will rise from the ranks of the Brague. His eighth assault upon the hamlets of the blue valley will see the rise of the mightiest heroes of the age.

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…

Never Split the Party is a party game designed for large groups to all play an RPG at the same time. The design focus is on streamlining action economy and maintaining immersion and active time in play. Expect to spend most of the session moving from one action set piece to the next, with "taven" and "camp" phases to rest and focus on RP.

“The modern age has nothing higher and more present than our super heroes. We look up to them, build statues to their honor, and call out their names in times of distress. The ones who appreciate this least are those who have been accustomed to being treated as the best. It was only a matter of time before the actual gods manifested to take revenge and claw back some of their relevance. 

This game will be great if you like superheroes, especially teenage heroes and sidekicks. This month, a love for Greek, Roman and Norse mythos will probably also give you extra memberberries.

"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 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.

There’s been a disturbance at old Scrooge’s house. There’s no telling what may have happened but woe betide the scrounger who comes second to the spoils of a wealthy house. So, it is that many investigative eyes peer through the dim gloaming of Scrooge’s frigid chambers. Who can tell what ghosts they may encounter on this Christmas Eve as they defy the commandments and law all at once? 

This game will be great if you like spooky stories, A Christmas Carol (especially the Muppet version).
