“The Rainslick Murders” is a Standard One Shot/ Playtest session of Cards. Led by Ansel Burch
A noir-style game of cat and mouse plays out when those with nothing to lose discover that there's one thing they'd wager the only thing they've got left to get.
The Cloister is less of a neighborhood and more of a hive. People have built the city of today on the ruins of yesterday leaving plenty of the past poking through at the margins. It's an area both protected and excluded from the business of the rest of the city, leaving its denizens to get up to all manner of dealings in the hidden alleys, tunnels, and bridges that defy any attempt at mapping or organization.
This game will be good if you like film noir, fictionalized cities, and playing someone who walks on the dark side.
We will build characters in the session.
New players are welcome.

“Case of the Haunted House Flip” a West Marches (Roughly Connected) session in the D&D 5E system (Slightly Modified). Led by Rayne Bakcheious
In this game, you'll play as a member of the Ravenswood Paranormal Society, a group of friends researching the creepy and unexplained happenings in Chicago. One afternoon, you arrive at your group's office to find a message on the answering machine:
"Hi, uh this is Jayden Augustine. My husband and I just bought this really cool old house that we're renovating for a bed and breakfast. And like, sure it's a little haunted but it's really old. And that's part of the charm.
But last night Jacques found me sleepwalking. Which I've never done before. And I was... well I was digging in the basement... And now he says if I don't have someone ‘fix it’ that he's gonna call a priest. Could you... maybe come have a look?"
This game will be great if you like playing Monster of the Week, but would like a crunchier combat system.

“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.

“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

"Good Strong Hands is a tabletop roleplaying game (RPG) about fighting back against the darkness that threatens to destroy your world. It’s set in the fictional world of Reverie. A reverie is a daydream, a happy place to lose oneself. The world of Reverie has been just that for quite some time. But that could change.
You and your friends will tell stories of fantastic folk who strive to keep Reverie
alive, to prevent the Void from consuming and destroying their beloved home. The
stories you tell will be those of friendship, teamwork, self-empowerment, overcoming
harmful forces, and dealing with a world in crisis."

FATE in the Flying City
A game using the FATE Condensed rules, led by Ansel Burch.
The planet of Citun is unique in many ways, not least of which being that it is close enough to its sun to super-heat the surface and warm a pocket of air at the core sufficient to spawn life. The empty space hosts three distinct communities. The submerged community of Pasiph, the ceiling clinging people of Alaut, and the flying city suspended evenly in the open space. Tensions are mounting, and a political coupling has been proposed. The ceremony is slated to happen soon here in the flying city.

Luckily for you, there's no chance of any of that right now.

You’ll need to figure out what makes her special on the way.
