“Portside Prison Break” a Standard One Shot in the Honor + Intrigue system. Led by Collin R
Collin R.’s Game Runner Profile- www.indecisionist.com/ttrpg-pickup-con-game-runners/collinr
After years of plaguing the Spanish crown, The Siren's Storm and its pirate crew have been captured by Captain Alonso Calvo of the Spanish Navy. Their daring captain, Marina Perez, is sentenced for a prompt show trial and execution within the week. The rest of the crew lies awaiting their fate, split up across a large and damp dungeon, facing potential sentences ranging from a few years' servitude to death. Unless... what if there was a way out? Surely if they put their minds and swords together, they could escape, rescue their captain, and steal back their ship!
This game will be great if you like Pirates of the Caribbean, The Three Musketeers, and/or The Princess Bride.
Players should build starting characters ahead.

“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
We will build characters in the session.
This session will be especially good for new players.

The wealthy Buchanan family has held a hog hunt as a rite of passage for their young men since they came into the New Orleans aristocracy. This year, the current patriarch Daniel Buchanan and his brother Warren accompany Daniel's son, Norm, to go through the same ceremony. Along with a well-paid hunting guide, they departed for Fontainebleau across Lake Pontchartrain ten days ago and are yet to return. Two other wardens like yourself were sent to retrieve them five days ago. A messenger pigeon was due back two days ago, but it never came. Now Chancellor Rose has selected your crew of Wardens to discover the fate of those who have gone missing across the lake. Dark Romantic literature, Southern Gothic, Sleepy Hollow (TV series)
We will build level 1 characters in the session.

“A Miner Issue” a Standard One Shot in the 24xx - Cosmic Highway system. Led by Collin R.
In the far future, humanity is an emerging spacefaring species. Asteroid mining is a booming (and unregulated) industry, and while hyper-lanes are a young technology they connect most of the major planets and space stations in The Solar System, as well as a few out-of-system routes. You're a crew of small-time cargo haulers, contracted out for a quick job transporting emergency medical supplies to a mining station located in the asteroid belt. What you find there is going to keep you a little longer than just drop-off, though...
This game will be great if you like helping the little guy in a big world, mechanics-light games, The Outer Worlds, jazz (background playlist, optional), and/or Cowboy Bebop
We will build characters in the session.
New players are welcome. The game runner has run this game a few times now.

Yazeba, the robotic housekeeper Amelie, and a cast of other staff and guests must team up to keep the specter's shenanigans in check and capture it before it can cause too much damage!
This game will be great if you like Saturday morning cartoons (especially Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends), goofing off with friends and strangers alike, and exploring fantastical settings with a modern twist
