"Your character can be anything, the story is what you make, and how things unfold is between you and fate. Your character sheet is an ever-evolving deck of cards, marked with the story of your deeds and abilities.

Mavericks is a new RPG in development and you can be among the first to try it out. This session will be an overview of the rules and a chance to build a character for use in a future game. Games are being offered throughout TTRPG pickup Con and will be offered monthly for the rest of the year.

Ansel hopes for the release of this game by GenCon this year.

In this game, a deck of cards represents your character. As they grow and change, so too will the deck itself as you mark cards to build your character's history and abilities.

In this adventure session, we will build characters from scratch using the cards as our guides. Once our characters have been created, we will play through an adventure scenario featuring combat, court intrigue, and an adventure beyond known kingdoms of the world.

You will need a deck of cards that you are okay with ruining completely to play this game. It can be any card deck as long as you are willing to mark the cards.

This game will be great if you like card games and sword & sorcery paperback novels.

We will build characters in the session.

Hail Street runs through the heart of an old neighborhood on the outskirts of a major New England metropolis. It’s renowned for its elegiac charm, with an old church and graveyard, a park, several crumbling apartment buildings, and neighborhood lore that runs deep, with more than its fair share of old ghost stories, murders, and missing persons cases.

Now, a new ghost story haunts the street: several people have claimed to hear the sound of an invisible woman crying as she walks down the street. Some of the Latino residents whisper of the myth of La Llorona, the Weeping Woman, while others claim that it’s the ghost of a madwoman who just died, still grieving over the children she lost two decades ago. You may be an amateur paranormal investigator, a concerned resident, or a relative of your Great Aunt Amelia, who has determined to get to the bottom of this and asked you to help, since she can’t leave home, given her health. Who is the Weeper of Hail Street?

This is a playtest of my original, modern horror and mystery RPG system. I've been working on it for years, with excellent reviews, but recently made some overhauls to the system that I'm eager to try out. The premise is that you play regular people in a modern world, and you--out of game--don't know if there's something supernatural going on or not.

This game will be great if you like modern games with an element of mystery, where you actually don't know if there's a ghost, or a monster, or a rational explanation. Consider inspiration sources like X-Files, Twilight Zone, and Monster-of-the-Week shows like Buffy, except when the game starts, you actually have no idea if there's really a monster or a rational explanation.

We will build characters in session (it's very quick!).

This session will be especially good for new players.
