Collin R.’s Game Runner Profile- www.indecisionist.com/ttrpg-pickup-con-game-runners/collinr

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.

"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.

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

The nearby river makes Tsuin no Yama good for fishing and for growing rice and it also has a few buckwheat farms in the mountains. While resting their tired feet in town, a small group of samurai must put aside their differences and come together to protect the village from a bandit raid that threatens a major crop supplier of the empire.

Sure, you were already a crew of badasses in your home dimension but when a portal to another world sucks your crew from the comfy confines of your teahouse into a frozen wasteland controlled by a pointy-bearded lord in an ostentatious cape. The people of this world are powerless to stop him but you, well you're Thirsty Sword Lesbians. You're never powerless.

A West Marches (Roughly Connected) style game in the D&D 5e system. Led by Ansel Burch

Raptor Peak has been overtaken by The Occlusion an enemy of their protector god. People in the town have lost the ability to form long term memories and their history is being erased around them while they are powerless to stop it from inside. After sending waves of adventurers out into the world, finally enough heroes have gathered in the nearby city of Harvan's Keep to make an attempt on driving The Occlusion out and saving Raptor Peak.

Players should build level 12 characters ahead. "You should build or level up your characters ahead if you are able. Otherwise, please let me know (give me any ideas you have), and I will prepare a character for you. You may use either a standard array or roll your stats (roll 4, keep 3: 7 times, drop the lowest).

Your characters should come into the session with up to six magic items: one ""common"", two "uncommon", two "rare" and one "very rare". A list is available here: https://www.dndbeyond.com/magic-items

Returning characters who have picked items during previous adventurers in Raptor Peak need not count them towards the magic items granted above.

A game in the Rapscallion system, led by Ansel Burch.

Piracy can quickly lose some of its luster when you find yourself in the doldrums, polishing the brasses or sitting about waiting for the next ship to come over the horizon. Luckily for you, there's no chance of any of that right now. Should you find yourself polishing anything ever again, you should count yourself lucky because you are piloting a stolen experimental ship from the Queen's fleet. You’ll need to figure out what makes her special on the way.
