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."

"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!"

The truffles are said to be so delicious as to soften even the most hardened of hearts. People from all over the world visit the lake to buy these irresistible creations.

"Once the world was fair and bright and happy, but then the fog came, and all became dark and strange and fearful. 

Hilda of the Red Cloak, the village's best hunter, went missing in the Fog on the last hunt for food, and now the sound of wolves can be heard in the Forest. 

Maybe she found her way to the safety of the Foghouse, maybe.

But you owe her your life and need to venture into the fog to check. 

Before the howls get even closer and the Wolves are at the door.

Fatherfog is the new game of fantasy fairytale horror from the people who made Mothership (Fatherfog/Mothership geddit?

An evil wizard has plundered a vault of ancient lore, causing a seismic catastrophe that traps your entire village and all its inhabitants under the earth, likely to be killed by the malevolent creatures in this strange underworld.

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."

For the city to survive, it must move. Hammer of the Earth is an adventure game about humans who worship the last machine in a world ruled by vines. You are Outriders, individuals who ensure the fuel supply for Hammer. It's the last bastion of civilization in the form of a gargantuan train, each carriage housing ten thousand souls, navigating an endless network of tracks. If the train stops, they are all doomed. The Navigator (GM) picked you from your various factions to keep the train moving. Presented with a limited clock and numerous obstacles, can you get back in time? Success or failure, you must all work together, even if in the end only one of you is held responsible for the outcome... Hammer of the Earth is part of The Ultimate Micro-RPG Book, an anthology of 2-page games. This means it's very rules-light and very easy to learn, but players should be comfortable using their own imagination without many rules to hold on to. This game will be great if you like rules-light adventures, countdown clocks, an impending sense of doom and trying desperately to be the hero when everything seems to be against you.

We'll create characters together at the start of the game, it only takes mere minutes.

The crew has already made all of the preparations for the biggest heist of our lives. The lines are in place, gear secured, information wrangled and maps studied. Now, it's between the rogues and the clock. 240 seconds are all we have to get in and get out with minimal need for violence or getting recognized. Can we pull it off?

This game will be great if you like being up against a clock, flashbacks, Honey Heist.

We will build characters in session.

Your crew will be pre-made. 

You only need to choose a playbook and make some selections within it. 

New players are welcome. The game runner is very familiar with this system.
