“Raptor Peak: Velvet Hands for Dragonscale Gloves” a West Marches (Roughly Connected) session in the Mavericks system. Led by Ansel Burch

Some say that Raptor Peak represents the edge of the known world. And looking north from the frostbitten crag would certainly encourage that impression for most. So, having a visitor from the distant north, beyond the distant horizon would be enough cause for excitement without her also carrying a demanding message from the distant city of dragons.

This game will be great if you like lighthearted fantasy, creative problem-solving, and playtesting new systems.

Players should build beginning characters ahead using the guidelines in the system doc, https://the-indecisionist.itch.io/mavericks

New players are welcome.

“Annual Dating.sim TV show” a Standard One Shot in the Dating.sim system. Led by Nona de Koning

Check out the Rules: https://possible-worlds-games.itch.io/datingsim

Nona de Koning’s Game Runner Profile

https://www.indecisionist.com/ttrpg-pickup-con-game-runners/Nona-de-Koning

"Dating.sim is a light-hearted romance roleplaying game inspired by the TV show The Dating Game as well as the “dating simulator” video game genre. Dating simulators are narrative-heavy games where players can date one of multiple eligible characters via choose-your-own-adventure-style conversations. Make the right choices and a character might like you more, make the wrong choices and they might like you less. Dating.sim recreates this structure through competitive roleplaying, with players improvising multiple-choice options for one player to select over the course of a date.

Ever seen a Witch, Knight, and sentient Robot compete for the affection of your kingdom's Princess? In Dating.sim this may very well happen! Play as any type of fantasy character you can imagine. But are you in it for love or do you have an ulterior motive like fame or money? Only you will know...

The game has two parts. In the first, the Lead (GM) asks the Contestants questions and ends up picking their Date. In the second part, everyone collaboratively narrates how the date went. If you gain the most influence, you get to narrate the final result. Will it be true love or a total disaster?"

This game will be great if you like choose-your-own-adventure, improv, Monster Prom and other dating sims, and collaborative storytelling.

We will build characters in the session.

You only need a general character concept, not a fully fleshed-out character.

This session will be especially good for new players. New players are welcome.

The game runner has run this game a few times now.

The grown-ups are saying to stay out of the woods, but will you listen?"

Nona de Koning’s Game Runner Profile

https://www.indecisionist.com/ttrpg-pickup-con-game-runners/Nona-de-Koning

"Pokeymanz is a TTRPG in the Pokémon setting using a hack of the Savage Worlds system. Battles follow the cinematic style of the anime more so than videogame stats. Moves must be roleplayed out and player creativity is highly encouraged! Using a dice step system with exploding dice, encounters will stay tense until the very end :D You do not need to be familiar with the system, but you should be enthusiastic about Pokémon (no need for a lot of knowledge) and like the idea of coming up with creative descriptions during combat.

For this introductory one shot, your Trainers will take part in the well known Bug-Catching Contest. Using just one starter Pokémon, can you catch the best one before fainting or running out of Sport Balls? If they make swift work of the competition, they can compete in a follow-up Contest in the nearby arena using their newly caught Pokémon! "

This game will be great if you like Pokémon, Digimon etc, creative roleplay, cinematic combat, Savage Worlds

The game runner will provide beginner level characters. Players can pick from several starter Pokémon upfront as well as customize their Trainer

The GM will offer several choices of starter Pokémon and trainer types.

New players are welcome.

Every year before the First Frost a fearsome beast, the Turagon, comes and attempts to destroy your town of peaceful Food Folk. Some see this as a curse on the land. Some see it as a blessing, a great harvest to be made before winter.

And now. You have a job to do.

This game will be great if you like A Crown of Candy, Candyland, and Cartoons.

While you may not ascribe intrinsic value to the "paper" that humans call money, it's certainly useful for getting things you want from them. And a local human happens to be selling off their junkyard full of valuable garbage for a fee that only an illegal street racing raccoon could hope to afford.

This game will be great if you like Wacky Races, animals acting like people, making Los Angeles even more dangerous for pedestrians, and general lighthearted chaos

We will build characters in the session.

This session will be especially good for new players.

Players will be learning this system together with the game runner.

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.

“A Miner Issue” a Standard One Shot in the 24xx - Cosmic Highway system. Led by Collin R.

In the far future, humanity is an emerging spacefaring species. Asteroid mining is a booming (and unregulated) industry, and while hyper-lanes are a young technology they connect most of the major planets and space stations in The Solar System, as well as a few out-of-system routes. You're a crew of small-time cargo haulers, contracted out for a quick job transporting emergency medical supplies to a mining station located in the asteroid belt. What you find there is going to keep you a little longer than just drop-off, though...

This game will be great if you like helping the little guy in a big world, mechanics-light games, The Outer Worlds, jazz (background playlist, optional), and/or Cowboy Bebop

We will build characters in the session.

New players are welcome. The game runner has run this game a few times now.

Ansel’s Game Runner Profile https://www.indecisionist.com/ttrpg-pickup-con-game-runners/ansel-burch

There aren't enough scritches to go around and Cathanos won't stand for it. Something must be done and he's the only cat with the kibbles to do something about it. If he can collect all of the mousies of destiny, all he'll need to do is slow-blink the humans to send half of the city's cats to an Instagram cat colony. Can the Meowvengers stop him in time or will this be the endgame? This game will be great if you like silliness, animals that think they're people, cats.

We will build characters in the session.

We will be playing as cat superheroes. All of the other elements of the game will remain the same.

In this game, we are using the FATE system to tell a story in Raptor Peak unlike any other. The King of Dzigora has come to the Peak and finds it to his liking. It is up to a few plucky heroes to stand out from a literal crowd and stop the king from trying to claim the peak as a part of his domain.

This game will be great if you like fantasies by Anne McCaffrey and Diane Duane.

“Tales of Xadia” a standard One Shot in the Cortex system. Led by Golden Spirit Gaming

"Xadia, a magical land, gifted its Elves with abilities associated with the six Primal Sources: the Sun, the Moon, the Stars, the Earth, the Sky, and the Ocean. But one day non-magical Humans discovered a new source of magic, Dark Magic. It utilized the essence of magical creatures to create a unique, dark version of its Primal counterparts. Disgusted by what they saw, the Elves banished the Humans to the west. The continent was split in two, magical Xadia to the east and the Human Kingdoms to the west.

In the aftermath of the Battle of the Storm Spire, the war between Xadia and the Human Kingdoms has been stopped before it could truly begin. But despite this and the border now open, tensions still run high. Will you and your party be able to bridge the gap between Elves and Humans to create a better world? Or is war and destruction still inevitable?"

This game will be great if you like roleplay-heavy games and motivations in every roll

Players should build characters ahead. The game runner will work with players to schedule character creation prior to the con.
