“Tower of the Black Pearl” is a Standard One-Shot in the Dungeon Crawl Classics system, led by Brucifer
Once every decade, the tides of the Empyrean Ocean recede far enough to reveal the highest eaves of a mysterious undersea tower. Long ago, this was the eldritch fastness of a powerful mage, but now the tower is known simply as the final resting place of the fabled Black Pearl – an artifact rumored to bring doom upon all who dare to posses it. Tonight the moon nearly fills the sky, and the tides have already begun to recede. You have eight short hours to explore the tower before the dark waters return...

“Curse of the Maggot God” is a Standard One-Shot in the Old School Essentials, led by Mark.
The Guild of Sewermen need help finding a lost worker, and will pay 200gp for his return, dead or alive.
The worker is a new sewerman named Hal. A few days ago, he and several other sewermen discovered an ancient chamber revealed by a tunnel collapse following a month’s worth of rainfall in the region.
Against the advice of his foreman, Hal went inside to take a look. Shortly after, his terrified screams were heard, and the rest of the sewermen took flight. The sewermen refuse to return, and the guild now seeks the aid of adventurers."

“Intergalactic Cruises” a Standard One Shot in the A Complicated Profession system. Led by Nona de Koning.
Have you ever wondered what bounty hunters do when the galaxy no longer needs them? In this game called A Complicated Profession, they start new careers hosting intergalactic cruises! Reunite your disbanded crew of jaded sidekicks, shabby droids and shady accomplices. Then pick a hosting role on your cruise ship and start a new life together! Gradually leave more of your old Hunter self behind and embrace your new role as Host, although the past will always be a part of who you are. We'll play 1 to 3 cruises, depending on the play speed of the group, each cruise featuring different passengers and three different exciting events.
A Complicated Profession is a GMless collaborative storytelling TTRPG. Players will start by picking a Hunter and Host role from a variety of templates, then go through a mad-libs style fill-in-the-blanks process to create their characters, ship and galaxy. Maybe you used to be the Hotspot Pilot or the Hired Muscle? Well, no more. How about becoming a Chef, the Live Entertainment or simply the Janitor in your new career? Once your crew settles into their new identity, it's time to find some clients and take them through various exciting events! From excursions to meddling in their love life, here you can do it all.
This game will be great if you like collaborative storytelling, worldbuilding, space, cruises, and Saturday Morning cartoons.
This system is especially great for new players. The game runner is very familiar with this system.
The game runner will provide pre-generated characters to pick from.

“Barrow of the Bone Blaggards” is a Standard One-Shot in the Old School Essentials led by Mark
Taverns are abuzz with rumours of robbers on the roads. Haggard witnesses tell wild tales of brigands composed of naught but walking bones, attacking their caravans and making off with their goods and companions.
All these incidents have taken place near a certain lonely barrow in the woods, built a century ago to inter scores of nameless soldiers who died heroes’ deaths in an historic battle. The barrow, though always a shunned place, has never been known to be haunted—but now, a ghostly, lively music echoes from it.......

A green-tailed comet appears in the night sky. Some hail it as a good omen, others as a harbinger of woe. The next morning, a weird tower crowned by a blood-red light appeared in the forest. Is there a connection? Who... or what is inside? The frightened villagers are counting on heroes brave enough to confront what lurks behind the inexplicable walls of this enigma. Seeking the intrepid, the curious, and the foolhardy to plumb the mysteries of the tower!

“It's Not Easy Being Green (or Smol!)” a Standard One Shot in the Goblin Errands system. Led by Nona de Koning. (Copy)
You have just joined a new family of goblins and want to make yourselves useful. Clearly, the best way to do so is by running errands for your new community: Buying vegetables at the market or procuring the services of a local wizard to get your wise leader unstuck from his chamber pot. Sounds easy, right? Well, unfortunately, you've got to contend with a world built for folk much bigger and stronger than you. And on top of that, you're both easily distracted and full of energy! Clearly a winning combination! Pick from various entertaining Goblin types like the Rascal, the Rambler, the Nibbler or the Whiz-Wart. Play to see how things go wrong, complications mount, and these ordinary, everyday tasks spiral into hilarious (mis)adventures. This game will be great if you like PbtA, goblins, being tiny, creative problem solving, shenanigans. This system is especially great for new players. The game runner is very familiar with this system. The game runner will provide playbooks ahead of time, so you can customize your character.

“Plunder on the Rhinoceros Express” is a Standard One Shot in the Daggerheart system, led by Sean (Spoony) (Copy)
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 Great Dungeon Luncheon is a Standard One Shot in the Daggerheart (Beast Feast campaign frame) system, led by Sean (Spoony)
"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.

“The Ogswell Harvest” is a standard one-shot in the Dragonbane system, led by Ansel Burch. Written by Rayne Whitington
The Village of Ogswell is a small farming town, tucked into the rolling hills between their wheat fields and a river.

And even from within their own cellars. They’ve called for adventurers to put a stop to it before they lose their entire winter stores.
You have been hired by the mayor of Ogswell to figure out why the food stores have gone missing and put a stop to it. While he doesn’t suspect any of his neighbors, he’s asking for outside help, just in case.

"In the cavernous depths of a mountain lies a lake of pure milk, inhabited by a tribe of peaceful merfolk. Their king and queen, aided by dwarf servants, use the milk to manufacture the most exquisite chocolate truffles in existence. 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.

“The Eighth Prophesy” is a standard one-shot in the Mavericks system. Led by Ansel Burch
Deep in the heart of the world, there is a mighty cache of magic. Where rock and soil give way, it leaks up to the surface. Seeping magic fuels the work of the few dozen mages scattered across the width of the expanse. The Prophecy of the Eighth has long held that a mighty warlord will rise from the ranks of the Brague. His eighth assault upon the hamlets of the blue valley will see the rise of the mightiest heroes of the age.
This game will be good if you like high fantasy stories on the frontier of magic.
Players should build characters ahead of time or use a pre-generated option.
New players are welcome.

“Lost Red Cloak and the Big Bad Wolf” is a Standard One-Shot in the Fatherfog system, led by NG Hughes.
"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? No, I'm not sold on the name either, but the game seems cool) and uses a variation of the same system. It's brand new and still in zero edition, so this'll be new for all of us. "
This game will be great if you like Mothership and Fairy Tales (Grimm, not Disney).
We will build characters in session.
The PDF is free from Tuesday Knight Games if you want to check out the rules/ character creation.
New players are welcome.
Players will be learning this system together with the game runner.

“The Land of Giants” is a Standard One Shot in the Mavericks system, led by Ansel Burch
"Some people go off into the world and become too big for their hometown. It happened to my brother. He writes every once in a while and once tried to visit, but this place just isn't big enough for him anymore.
That's why I had to bring you all here. That's the emergency. We got a letter last week, and it's suspicious. Everything about it raises red flags. I know if you read it, it all seems innocuous and normal. Trust me, if you knew my brother, you'd know that there's no way he could have written anything like this. That's why I'm putting together a group to go to the big city. We're going to find my brother and make sure he's okay. It won't be easy, I don't know. I don't know the first thing about life in that place. How do they get around? What kind of dangers might there be? What is the food like? How much money should we bring?
Every family in the valley has someone who went off to the big city. So, the way I see we all have reason to worry if something's wrong there. We've got to go and see for ourselves. "
This game will be great if you like switching perspectives, trying something new, and getting into danger.
