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 Lady Indomitable keeps vaporizing bystanders by accident and Comandante America just will not stop expressing his outdated views in post-heroics interviews.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.

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.
We will build characters in session.

“Bluebeard's Bride” is a Standard One Shot in the Bluebeard's Bride system, led by Ansel Burch.
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."

One Shot at Justice is a Standard One Shot in the Rebel Scum system, led by Ansel Burch
One Shot at Justice is a Standard One Shot in the Rebel Scum system, led by Ansel Burch. Baron Killstar has oppressed this galaxy long enough, and now that we're pretty sure he's not anybody's dad, it's time to blow him into space dust along with the rest of his jack-booted thugs. They won't be able to stop us from loving who we love and expressing ourselves the way we want without their battle station. The catch is that we're going to have to get lucky over and over and over to pull it off.
This game will be great if you like Star Wars, queer people, and fighting space Nazis.

“We're All Super-ior“ is a Standard One Shot, West Marches (Roughly Connected) session in the Masks system, led by Ansel Burch
A new energy drink has hit the market, and it is giving the non-super kids at Halcyon High special abilities, if only for a short amount of time. Will you be able to help these students come to terms with the things you learn about yourself when you gain powers while also saving the city? Here’s hoping otherwise, the Sadie Hawkins dance is going to be cancelled, for sure.

Just 24 hours ago, this world was born. Its elements are created from societies, languages, and ruins. Now, our heroes begin their adventure in the world post-fall. What will they find? There's no way to know now. After all, this world is still in the minds of a dozen people who don't even know it yet.

“A Blank Map, Worldbuilding Triptych” is a Standard One Shot in the A Quiet Year 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."

“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.

“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?"

“A Winter Together” is a Standard One Shot in the Deck system. Led by Ansel Burch
The pirate ship, The Cauldron is grounded on a big rock just off the coast of Ouness, a small and remote island on the Northern end of the archipelago. The locals seem slow to trust but like it or not, you're stuck together until the weather clears in the spring. The sailors bring with them stories of the wide world and gifts from the edges of believability. The colonists offer a perspective that the sailors might just want to consider and a shelter from the weather to come.

For the past 30 years it's been the distinct pleasure of the Travelling Appraisers to get a glimpse of the truly wonderous items that are hiding in the attics and cupboards from the Eriador to Belfalas. This week, we find ourselves in the the Shire town of Hobbiton where the heirs of an eccentric collector are looking to get a valuation on some truly exceptional pieces.

Port perilous has long been the provenance of pirates as it is the last island before the vast Open Sea takes ownership of the horizon.

Port perilous has long been the provenance of pirates as it is the last island before the vast Open Sea takes ownership of the horizon. Sailing towards the morning Sun from point perilous means going into the unknown with no promise of ever returning. By that same token, Port Perilous is the first place where anything from the wide sea will interact with the known world. This game will be great if you like pirate stories, and RP heavy combat.
The game runner will provide characters.
This session will be especially good for new players.

“Trouble on Quarry Street” is a Standard One Shot in the Masks system. Led by Ansel Burch

Players should build characters ahead.

“Under the Sea” is a Standard One Shot/Playtest session in the Deck system led by Ansel Burch.
"The Myrfolk have been content in the sea for Brine knows how long. We've swum the currents and ridden the streams from the Great Trench to the Boiling Sea.
Last tide, K'help found a... something. It's covered in strange markings and if we're right in guessing, it was made above the spray, perhaps by the great beasts whose shadows pass over the reef and whose calls sound so much like speech. Wherever it came from and whoever made it. Could this be a new horizon beyond the waves? "
