“Case of the Haunted House Flip” a West Marches (Roughly Connected) session in the D&D 5E system (Slightly Modified). Led by Rayne Bakcheious

In this game, you'll play as a member of the Ravenswood Paranormal Society, a group of friends researching the creepy and unexplained happenings in Chicago. One afternoon, you arrive at your group's office to find a message on the answering machine:

"Hi, uh this is Jayden Augustine. My husband and I just bought this really cool old house that we're renovating for a bed and breakfast. And like, sure it's a little haunted but it's really old. And that's part of the charm.

But last night Jacques found me sleepwalking. Which I've never done before. And I was... well I was digging in the basement... And now he says if I don't have someone ‘fix it’ that he's gonna call a priest. Could you... maybe come have a look?"

This game will be great if you like playing Monster of the Week, but would like a crunchier combat system.

Players should build level 5 characters ahead.

Human or Human Variant only. Point buy or standard array.

Build a standard D&D character, but do not choose background, weapons, or equip. Those you'll get from my "Modern Backgrounds" list. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1a3S38ylklWLSLHQDXdGQhmTMHa3vmlwH9Ci_YyvloJs/edit?usp=drive_link

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

Raptor Peak's star is rising and with it comes higher and higher profile visitors. This tourist destination may have added new attractions, capacities, and festivals at a blistering pace but can its food scene keep up? Our heroes will meet with a colossal confectioners conundrum comprising catastrophic, contrary, compromising contractual caveats.

This game will be great if you like cozy fantasy, high magic solutions to low-stakes challenges, and creative RP.

Rayne Bakcheious’ Game Runner Profile- https://www.indecisionist.com/ttrpg-pickup-con-game-runners/rayne-bakcheious

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.

Use point-buy or standard array for stat generation.

Using any racial stat block, create the look of your Food Folk.

Well-established third-party content is encouraged for character creation.

Rayne Bakcheious’ Game Runner Profile- https://www.indecisionist.com/ttrpg-pickup-con-game-runners/rayne-bakcheious

The Red Handed Adventuring Guild is a valuable part of many communities, but they aren’t without their enemies. For years there has been an open rivalry between the guild and the wizards of the Circle of Eight and their College.

Guildmaster Kishtari has learned that a powerful staff created by Mordenkainen’s first librarian will be transported on a ship called The Vivid Morning. She’s asked for intrepid volunteers from the Guild to infiltrate the crew of this ship and steal the artifact while it’s in transit. It’s being escorted by a powerful, but elderly wizard and their full escort so only the bravest need apply.

This game will be great if you like Leverage, Pirates of the Caribbean, Heists.

Players should build level 5 characters ahead.

  • Use point-buy or standard array for stat generation.

  • Any officially published content for classes, feats, ancestries, etc is fine. Permanent flying features excluded.

  • Please make a character who is working for hire, and has taken this job from the Red Hand Adventuring Guild.

  • Assume that as adventures you’ve been able to purchase any armor, standard weapon, or standard adventuring equipment worth no more than 150gp a piece.

  • For spellcasters: assume that you have the material components needed to cast the spells you’ve chosen.

  • You can pick 2 magic items or weapons of up to uncommon rarity. https://www.dndbeyond.com/magic-items

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

  • Let me know what your role on the ship will be. This will be first-come, but I won’t consider your choice official until you’ve sent in your character sheet. If none of these roles sound good to you, please reach out.

    • Sailing Master (Navigation), Bunting Tosser (Lookout), Lead Gunner, Powder Monkey, Surgeon, Cook.

But that's probably fine.

Just a little pest control for some rich people, and then it's just you and a glorious white-sand beach.... " if your job is beach

"Well past the outside of town, at the edge of a still lake and the foot of the Obsidian Mountains, lies the manor of Count Võn Dragȗül. Your small town has long dwelt in the shadow of this mysterious nobleman, but little is known about him.

“Seeking to hire an enterprising group of mercenaries to rid my ancestral home of a malicious ghostly presence. Payment will be made in land or gold, as you desire. Please report to the front door of my home just after sunset. Those of religious affiliation need not apply.

“Me and the guys were out kinda late, and we’re trying to get back to my friend's house quick. We’re hungry. So we decide to hop a fence and take a shortcut through this tunnel. It’s just a short one for an overpass, you could run it in 10 seconds and there’s nothing coming.

But the moment we step inside, it’s pitch black. It’s like the thing is a mile long and we hear that whistle behind us so we run. The lights make everything look really strange, but we just keep going for the opening at the end, and then...

We got hit by a train? But it passed through us like a ghost. We’re screaming and that whistle is blaring. And then we get to the end of the tunnel and there’s just, there’s nothing there man.”

So says a young man coming to the Edgewater Supernatural Society for help. This game will be a modern twist on D&D 5E, where you’ll play as amateur sleuths in Chicago, IL. Your group of meddling misfits works to help everyday people that encounter the sometimes dangerous world of the supernatural. "

Please make a character who is part of the Edgewater Supernatural Society. For one reason or another, something compels you to want to learn more about the supernatural and solve mysteries.

This will be a “magical realism” take on modern-day Chicago. (Think Buffy or Supernatural) Most of the population isn’t aware of the seedy, magical world that exists around them. But your characters are aware of some parts of it.

"The great playwright Jeremy Wiglessyc has traveled all the way from the Dzigora plains to see the latest staging of his play, "Some of Them Make it This Time" which is billed as a comedy in academic circles. It is a broad, sweeping epic requiring truly heroic efforts on the part of the cast to both endure the length of the performance and the demands of the plot. So, when a terrible accident befalls the entire cast, will a group of unrehearsed adventurers be able to fill their shoes?

Join me in abusing the rules of D&D to an absurd extent in this madcap adventure of theatrical proportions.

“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.

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.

“Just A Delivery Job: Swamp Layover” a Standard One Shot in the D&D 5E system. Led by Rayne Bakcheious

The island continent of Eleri contains many different lands, but this story takes us into the wilds of the Ardent Swamp. Your party’s journey began weeks ago, in the frigid mountains where you were hired by a timber company. Now, as you approach the end of your journey you need only get your cargo of rare Jasmine Pine logs through the sweltering swamp.

This edge of the empire is known for being a little backward, but as long as you keep to the King’s Road, things should remain quiet. All you need to do is find lodging for the night in the sleepy swamp town of Higgit’s Bend and then continue on to your final destination of Orchard on Evves in the morning.

Surely nothing ill could befall you in this former mining town, deep within a mostly uncharted swamp.

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.

Our story starts in the outer ring of Verdigris. Here the guilds are few and far between, because when it really comes down to it, magic ain’t free. But one Firbolg isn’t going to let that stop his dream of starting his own blacksmith guild. He may not have the thousands of gold that it would take to license the spells he needs, but he does have a handful of shady friends willing to help him out.

This risky heist will take you deep into the heart of Verdigris, to the beautiful green-gilded streets that you’ve only seen on festival days -- into the magical library -- the hoard of the Emeralden Emperor.

This game will be great if you like heist movies, whimsical fantasy tropes, and the color green Players should build Level 5 characters ahead.

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

Your character could come from any background, but you’re currently down on your luck. You’re friends with a local blacksmith, Yuri the Firbolg. He’s promised you an enormous amount of money (20g) if you can steal the properly licensed spells it will take for him to open a Blacksmith’s Guild.

You have 75g to purchase any armor, standard weapon, or standard adventuring equipment you want during character creation.

For spellcasters: if the spell components you need have no price, assume that you have them. Otherwise, you must factor this into your 75g 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.

Players need to be familiar with this system.

The game runner is very familiar with this system.
