“The Beach Episode” a Standard One Shot in the All Outta Bubblegum system. Led by Ansel Burch

A seemingly normal trip to the beach escalates to an all-out melee as it turns out every single sunbather is a world-class assassin.

This slapstick rollercoaster will be a great time if you like wild swings of success, madcap storytelling, and very little forward momentum

“Annual Dating.sim TV show” a Standard One Shot in the Dating.sim system. Led by Nona de Koning

Check out the Rules: https://possible-worlds-games.itch.io/datingsim

Nona de Koning’s Game Runner Profile

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

"Dating.sim is a light-hearted romance roleplaying game inspired by the TV show The Dating Game as well as the “dating simulator” video game genre. Dating simulators are narrative-heavy games where players can date one of multiple eligible characters via choose-your-own-adventure-style conversations. Make the right choices and a character might like you more, make the wrong choices and they might like you less. Dating.sim recreates this structure through competitive roleplaying, with players improvising multiple-choice options for one player to select over the course of a date.

Ever seen a Witch, Knight, and sentient Robot compete for the affection of your kingdom's Princess? In Dating.sim this may very well happen! Play as any type of fantasy character you can imagine. But are you in it for love or do you have an ulterior motive like fame or money? Only you will know...

The game has two parts. In the first, the Lead (GM) asks the Contestants questions and ends up picking their Date. In the second part, everyone collaboratively narrates how the date went. If you gain the most influence, you get to narrate the final result. Will it be true love or a total disaster?"

This game will be great if you like choose-your-own-adventure, improv, Monster Prom and other dating sims, and collaborative storytelling.

We will build characters in the session.

You only need a general character concept, not a fully fleshed-out character.

This session will be especially good for new players. New players are welcome.

The Cerritos boldly goes where.... a few people have gone before, but defiantly not many. And they sure do boldly go. As members of the Lower Decks crew, you've seen your share of wacky space nonsense. But surely nothing ridiculous will happen on this little away mission. Surely.

This game will be great if you like Star Trek, Star Trek Lower Decks, or the general idea of exploring space

Raptor Peak's star is rising and with it comes higher and higher profile visitors.

Every year before the First Frost a fearsome beast, the Turagon, comes and attempts to destroy your town of peaceful Food Folk. Some see this as a curse on the land. Some see it as a blessing, a great harvest to be made before winter.

Every year, a few townsfolk are selected at random to defeat it. This year, your number has come up. A grand festival has been thrown in your honor. You’ve had a taste of every luxury that Hamburgerberg has to offer over the last three days.

And now. You have a job to do.

This game will be great if you like A Crown of Candy, Candyland, and Cartoons.

Players should build level 3 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

“The Brewers Guild holds an annual pub crawl in the city of Lankhmar with the offer of fleeting fame and mild rewards for the champions. This year’s event is a bit different with a twisting route mapped through some of the seediest swill-holes in the roughest neighborhoods that the Slums have to offer. Still, teams are assembling for the chance to assault their constitutions with strong drink and revelry for the chance to claim the Tin Tankard. However, strange forces and sinister figures seem to lurk at the corners of the event. Can your team manage to crawl to victory?

This game will be great if you like bars, fights, mysteries, and drunken fun.

Ansel’s Game Runner Profile https://www.indecisionist.com/ttrpg-pickup-con-game-runners/ansel-burch

There aren't enough scritches to go around and Cathanos won't stand for it. Something must be done and he's the only cat with the kibbles to do something about it. If he can collect all of the mousies of destiny, all he'll need to do is slow-blink the humans to send half of the city's cats to an Instagram cat colony. Can the Meowvengers stop him in time or will this be the endgame? This game will be great if you like silliness, animals that think they're people, cats.

We will build characters in the session.

We will be playing as cat superheroes. All of the other elements of the game will remain the same.

“Newsies' Revenge” a Standard One Shot in the DnD 5E system. Led by Rayne Bakcheious

The town of Verdigris is the finest city on the island continent of Eleri, a shining-green jewel of the empire. It’s ruled by the founder of the city, Entrócenite the Eternal, an ancient emerald dragon. The Emeralden Emperor is the last of his kind but continues to watch over the city and share the gift of magic with the guilds of Verdigres.

This city is full of stories, but this one starts with a group of young newsies. This summer your group of friends has been lucky enough to get a job delivering newspapers for your neighborhood. But times they are a changing, and when a wizard-run company that delivers by crystalline construct opens up across the street -- your little operation just can’t keep up.

If you and your friends don’t do something quick, your source of spending money is about to disappear.

This game will be great if you like Little Rascals, The Sandlot, The Goonies, etc... Players should build characters ahead.

Use point-buy or standard array for stat generation.

Any officially published content for classes, feats, etc is fine. Permanent flying features excluded. Non-licensed content needs to be run by me, (screenshot is probably fine) just don’t do it the night before the game.

Forbidden Ancenstries: Aasimar, Centaur, Changeling, Dragonborne, Elves (all), Fairy, Ginazi, Gith(zerai), Minotaur, Plasmoid, Satyr, Shifter, Thri-kreen, Triton.

Your character needs to be a child working a newsie and/or newspaper delivery. You live in one of the poorer districts of the city, and this job should be important to you in some way.

You have 30g to purchase any armor, standard weapon, or standard adventuring equipment you want during character creation. Any gold not spent at creation cannot be kept in your inventory.

For spellcasters: if the spell components you need have no price, assume that you have them. Otherwise, you must factor this into your 30g to spend.

If you have any backstory notes, please let me know. Please send me a copy of (or link to) your character sheet at least 2 days before we play. "

New players are welcome.
