The Drylands were a place that put the old stories aside. While superstitious miners have long said that the desert's crystals are made from the very life essence of Forgotten Gods, the folk around here had real work to do, and actual deities were left for campfire stories. That is, until a terrible earthquake heralded the birth of a massive colossus, spun into being from the wreckage of a steam locomotive that had been carrying a shipment of magical essentia crystals. Having answered the call of something ancient and apocalyptic, the titanic steel rhinoceros dubbed 'The Cleaver' has devastated the area and stalks the land with brilliantly shining crystals glowing upon its back day and night. 

The bold prospectors, tired laborers, and born-again worshippers in the dusty town of Wyllin’s Gulch were thrown from their routine of industry and exploitation by the quake and subsequent titanic monster rampage, forced to raise scattered armies and watch them die to the behemoth’s strength. And, as legend has it, this is only the first of many titanic beasts poised to terrorize the land. 

In this adventure, you’ll play a heroic posse of mavericks on an unusual and dangerous heist to save the land...or at least buy some time until the next calamity, while also (hopefully) turning a tidy profit. 

Track down the train titan, pilfer all the crystals you can get your hands on, and live to tell the tale."

This game will be great if you like Shadow of the Colossus, Red Dead Redemption, or Deadlands

The game runner will provide level 1 characters.

"A rustic, peaceful village sits atop a labyrinthine system of caverns full of dangerous and delectable creatures. Such tasty threats are usually held at bay by a magical ward and tend to only be the concern of courageous adventurers. However, when an important shipment of foodstuffs needed for an upcoming festival goes missing, the bravest villagers in town must take it upon themselves to descend into the cave system and save the day. 

In this Beast Feast campaign frame of Daggerheart, you’ll play everyday heroes diving into the caverns in search of delicious beasties from which you might cook up delicious dishes. Sure, you may be a baker armed with a rolling pin and a prayer, but how hard can adventuring be, really? Anyway, welcome to a culinary world of zoophagous delight, where the beasts you fight become the food you eat!"

This game will be great if you like lighthearted dungeon crawls, the Delicious in Dungeon anime or Monster Hunter video games.

Level 1 pregen characters will be provided and players can work with the GM to build a character ahead of time, if desired.

"On a primeval world untouched by civilization, scattered hunter-gatherer tribes of many thinking species struggle to survive amid colossal beasts and deadly wilderness.

What begins as a routine hunt turns extraordinary when a blazing star falls from the heavens...embedding itself in the earth like a jagged spearhead the size of a mountain!

What is it? A weapon of the gods, a relic from beyond the stars, or something far stranger?

Step into an awe-inspiring and alien landscape on the day everything changes. Unearth impossible discoveries. Experiment with mysterious artifacts you absolutely should not be touching. Survive long enough to tell the tale...and perhaps alter the course of your world’s earliest history."

This game will be great if you like curiosity-driven adventures, crafting mechanics, and poking dangerous things with sticks.

You’ve made it!  Your team and the other finalists have made it to the final event of the Bramble Gamble Scramble!  It’s been the first one held in years since the unfortunate ending of the last Scramble, and you’re determined to put your town on the map.  You’ve trained in every situation you can think of, you passed every prelim with flying colors.  You just have to make it to the end before the other teams, and the glory is yours!  At least, it could be yours…if you don’t run out of time.

This game is great if you like the diverse challenges, mystery, and creativity.

We will build level 2 characters in session.

This is it!  The Demonstration Dungeon: the final test before you all get to call yourselves full fledged *trained* adventurers, licensed to go out and scour the notice boards for fame and fortune, and maybe even help some people along the way.  You’ve worked so hard for this.  But so have all the other teams, and the team with the highest grade gets the coveted Golden Key.  Except, you’re not really sure *how* they grade this, and you’ve only passed by some of your teammates in the hall sometimes.  You suppose the only thing to do is do your best!

This game is great if you like exploration, team strategy, and time-based challenges.

The crate is large, heavy and sealed with magic, addressed to the Whitefire Arcanist. You’ve been given a map and a carriage, and the promise of reward upon your arrival.”

You'll select from a battery of premade characters and we'll learn the system together before jumping right into the action! "
