There are a few pirates in the world who haven't been to Dagger Bay. It's a rite of passage to sail along the bay from the false edge to the true. It's said that the blade won't cut down those tougher than steel. What happens to the others may be too gruesome to tell. Can your crew exfiltrate a young myrfolk and a flylander who ran off to become pirates?

"You are epic pirate captains in a loose confederation. Your mission is to explore the archipelago, deal with supernatural complications, and defend your gold against other pirates. The Admiral, Rakefelon Bones McBones, Slayer of the Hidden Sea, has been cursed by the gods of the sea to walk only on soil, leaving you to fend for yourselves while he climbs the tallest mountain he can reach to meet with the sky gods for help. 

This leaves you, the remaining captains, in charge of the fleet’s home port of Deepwash Anchorage for the time being. You must work together with your crews behind you to deal with whatever threats appear. Fail and Rakefelon Bones McBones will have you nailed to the deck for sure."

The savannah has always been a place of competition and survival, even more so now that the Dominion of Lions has reformed the government around birthright, no more with the helter-skelter groping for power that our foremothers knew. Instead, now, from one generation to the next, power will follow cleanly. At least, that was the plan. With the death of Malkia, the families are in disarray, and power is ours to claim. Will your family take the throne? Will you wear the crown?

The pirate ship, The Cauldron is grounded on a big rock just off the coast of Ouness, a small and remote island on the Northern end of the archipelago. The locals seem slow to trust but like it or not, you're stuck together until the weather clears in the spring. The sailors bring with them stories of the wide world and gifts from the edges of believability. The colonists offer a perspective that the sailors might just want to consider and a shelter from the weather to come.

No copy of the rules, but character creation is simple: pick an animal that's been uplifted, pick a human society they've copied badly, split 5 points between Faith and Truth. Truth grants secrets of the setting and minor extra rules. Faith works as a pool of points you spend to influence NPCs. You'll roll percentage dice and take consequences after the roll to reach target numbers. There's a GM.

A diverse group of mutant talking animals who live in Humanity-worshipping high-tech domes meet each other when they uncover the heretical secret maintenance tunnels that connect the vastly different societies to one another. What will they do when they discover the true danger that threatens this entire futuristic zoo?

You play as traveling scholars, wandering warriors, demon hunters, and magicians striving against monsters and the powers of darkness. It is a game of investigation, survival, kung-fu, and terror.

In this dream-realm, you are tasked either as the groom to Lung Min, Daugher to the Lung family, or as constables to Sheriff Yu in Waterfall Bay.

However, horrible murders by decapitation have been happening in Waterfall Bay, and people have said they have seen dragons eating the dead people's heads. What's worse is that bodies are disappearing from the constables' house before they can be properly examined.

Will you be able to get to the bottom of these mysteries and crimes?

Will you be able to stop the murders?

Will you be able to survive the monsters?

After years of plaguing the Spanish crown, The Siren's Storm and its pirate crew have been captured by Captain Alonso Calvo of the Spanish Navy. Their daring captain, Marina Perez, is sentenced for a prompt show trial and execution within the week. The rest of the crew lies awaiting their fate, split up across a large and damp dungeon, facing potential sentences ranging from a few years' servitude to death. Unless... what if there was a way out? Surely if they put their minds and swords together, they could escape, rescue their captain, and steal back their ship!

This game will be great if you like Pirates of the Caribbean, The Three Musketeers, and/or The Princess Bride.

Fiasco is a hilarious game of high stakes and poor choices. In this session, we will be playing in an original time travel playset. Anything can happen but we will definitely be traveling through time, building relationships, and trying to maintain a handle on increasingly challenging goals.

This game will be great if you like telling stories together, time travel, and plays with too many doors in them.

We will build characters in the session.

We will be playing together in this session. So the game runner will be playing along with you and just facilitating

This session will be especially good for new players.

The game runner is very familiar with this system.

"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. So it was all the more shocking to find his wanted ad pinned to the door of the tavern this morning:

“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.

-- Alabastrȃān Vladȇmǒrn Võn Dragȗül Count of the Obsidian Pass”

This game will be great if you like Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Mummy, What We Do In the Shadows
