“The Beast of Bensfield” a Standard One Shot in the Kids on Bikes system. Led by Garrett Douglas
"The Bensfield Detectives Club has tackled wild cases before, from the Skeleton in the Butchershop to the House of Nobody, but they've never dealt with something quite this hairy.
The grown-ups are saying to stay out of the woods, but will you listen?"
This game will be great if you like Scooby Doo-esque mysteries and scary investigations. Players should build characters ahead.
Your characters must have a direct connection to the mystery-solving group known as the Bensfield Detectives Club. We will also be answering some backstory questions as a group. This session will be especially good for new players.

Ansel's Game Runner Page- https://www.indecisionist.com/ttrpg-pickup-con-game-runners/ansel-burch
The tourists have left Raptor Peak and it’s quiet, too quiet. Something is stirring in the empty caverns beneath the crag and it would take someone truly heroic or foolish to investigate the mysteries that scrape and claw at the edges of the villagers' minds at night.
This game will be great if you like fantasy adventure, antics, and light eldritch horror.

“An Evening with Mrs. Radcliffe” is an ongoing one-shot in the Regency Cthulhu system. Led by Jim
Acclaimed romance novelist, Ann Radcliffe, has come to Tarryford. Rumour has it she is working on her next novel. Rumour also has it, she's gone as mad as a hatter, so it should be a smashing good read. Of course, some might say reading novels induces idleness, negligence, moral degeneration, and brain fever, and invites attention from vast, inhuman intelligence beyond the sane understanding of mortal beings. But that's all claptrap and nonsense, right?
This game will be great if you like Jane Austen, H.P. Lovecraft, The Neverending Story
Instructions on characters will be sent via email. Previous Regency Cthulhu characters welcome.
Pregen characters will be available.

The Iron Coral is a recent addition to these waters and a new entrance to a network of caves, tunnels, vaults, and catacombs lying below Bastion, known as The Underground.

“The Venerable Mr. Milliton” a Continuing One-Shot in the Call of Cthulhu system, led by Jimthalon
Tarryford's local magistrate, the venerable Mr. August Milliton, has died, leaving behind a large estate and a bereft community. The funeral will be held at St. Bidget's Church. All are invited. Hopefully, Mr. Milliton's long-estranged children will come, if for no other reason than to hear what their father left for them in his will. It will undoubtedly be a reflective, sober affair with nary a murder no mystery in sight. And indeed, no unspeakable horrors.
This game will be great if you like Pride and Prejudice, The Thing, and Agatha Christie.
Players may build starter Cthulhu characters ahead of time or use characters from a previous Regency Cthulhu game. Pre-gen characters are available. Starter Cthulhu
