"On a primeval world untouched by civilization, scattered hunter-gatherer tribes of many thinking species struggle to survive amid colossal beasts and deadly wilderness.

What begins as a routine hunt turns extraordinary when a blazing star falls from the heavens...embedding itself in the earth like a jagged spearhead the size of a mountain!

What is it? A weapon of the gods, a relic from beyond the stars, or something far stranger?

Step into an awe-inspiring and alien landscape on the day everything changes. Unearth impossible discoveries. Experiment with mysterious artifacts you absolutely should not be touching. Survive long enough to tell the tale...and perhaps alter the course of your world’s earliest history."

This game will be great if you like curiosity-driven adventures, crafting mechanics, and poking dangerous things with sticks.

You’ve made it!  Your team and the other finalists have made it to the final event of the Bramble Gamble Scramble!  It’s been the first one held in years since the unfortunate ending of the last Scramble, and you’re determined to put your town on the map.  You’ve trained in every situation you can think of, you passed every prelim with flying colors.  You just have to make it to the end before the other teams, and the glory is yours!  At least, it could be yours…if you don’t run out of time.

This game is great if you like the diverse challenges, mystery, and creativity.

You’re in a grand foyer filled with fae dressed in the most elaborate, sumptuous fashion you’ve ever seen. They form a line that leads to a set of open double doors manned by a lone fae. Though the doors are open, beyond it you see only a colorful, hazy sheen. You have arrived at The Eternal Ball, an endless party that has been in full swing for decades, guests arriving and leaving as they please. It is split into three sections, each representing a different time of day: dawn, noon, and twilight. You are here to obtain a ring from the imperious Erlking, a key component in stopping a terrible curse that has befallen your lands. When time is of the essence in a place where time seems to be eternal, what will happen? Play to find out!

Adam Mc’s Game Runner Profile-https://www.indecisionist.com/ttrpg-pickup-con-game-runners/adam-mc

Liminal Horror is a rules-lite, adaptable Survival-Horror roleplaying game about regular characters and their struggles against the things that go bump in the night. The game focuses on surviving the weird and investigating horrors while blending simple, old-school-inspired rules with modern, narrative first principles. Survival is not guaranteed, and those who do make it through are often forever changed. Liminal Horror is not a game about solving mysteries, but rather surviving them. This time, you're all going to explore a state park where uncanny things keep happening. Can you make it back out alive? Play to find out! It does not matter if the new signs read “Gareth Pines State Park.” The locals will always call it The Hill, and they will always say it with a wary glance out the window. The trail maps and spray-painted blazes have done nothing to allay their superstitious fear of The Hill and its abandoned monastery. But the tourists still come. Whispered warnings at the gas station will not stop them from venturing out into the woods. The junkyard full of abandoned cars with out-of-state license plates will not stop them from seeking out the ruins on The Hill. And the tattered “Missing Person” flyers will not stop them from going missing themselves... 

This game will be great if you like exploration, investigative horror, playing as ordinary people, doom clocks, OSR and NSR games.

The job was simple: deliver a package to the reclusive resident of a mysterious mansion. But all is not as it seems…. Lord Spooky’s mansion is full of mystery and danger and who knows what else?!

Before the first 3D video game came out, all video games were text-based adventures. These were simple scenarios with limited interactions. The player would type their actions into the game, and if it was a valid command, the game would respond with new content.

Players will take control of a character together and the GM will play as the parser and control the computer processing your commands. Players will alternate giving commands like GO NORTH, LIGHT LAMP or GET SWORD, which the GM will follow to the best of the imaginary computer's ability. There’s no limit to the number of people that can play and no limit to the fun. So what are you waiting for? It’s time to unplug from your computer and plug into Parsely! Don't forget to hit SAVE and be mindful, because 3 deaths means GAME OVER! ;-) "

“Bump in the Dark” is a Forged in the Dark (FitD) game about people hunting monsters in a fictionalized version of a mid-90s US mining town. Each player plays one of these monster hunters in a group that already knows each other. You will gather clues, piece them together, and solve a supernatural mystery, for which there is no predefined solution. This usually ends in a final showdown with some monster(s), your success partially depending on the earlier investigation. Consider shows like X-Files and Buffy, which feature supernatural mystery and action. The setting is quite dark and gritty, but not bleak. There are still moments of slice-of-life, humor, and levity, balancing out the supernatural horror. The game also has a strong message about the value of community and people in the town, particularly player characters, working together to make their town the best it can be and to stand against the darkness. Play to find out how the hunters survive as the stakes grow higher around them. Will they put the pieces together in time to save the day? Today's scenario is called Under the Weather, where local citizen Joe Halazia has been found dead in his home near Guilty River. However, all doors and windows of his house were locked from the inside. The state of the body indicates that this wasn’t a natural death, and it’s decaying at a supernatural rate. You will have to investigate soon, but there’s a problem: the weather forecast predicts that a huge storm is about to hit Last Pine. 

This game will be great if you like the supernatural, Monster of the Week, the X-Files, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, chosen family, investigation, showdowns, PbtA, and FitD games. 

The GM will contact players to select and customize characters ahead of time.

Lovecraftesque is a GMless storytelling game of creeping cosmic horror, emulating the tone and pace of eldritch horror stories. As a group, we'll tell the story of a single character, who stumbles upon clues to a terrible evil. It creates slow-building, brooding horror that the main character at first dismisses, until all too suddenly it becomes impossible to deny. The ending will certainly be bleak, and the main character is likely to meet their doom. The game will use cards to guide us. Together we’ll build up a creepy eldritch mystery, one Clue at a time. At the start of the game, we only introduce subtle Clues, so the horror increases gradually, but as the game progresses, we’ll unlock scarier and more bizarre Clues. The truth behind the mystery is only revealed at the end, but we can brainstorm theories explaining the Clues as we play. During gameplay, we rotate between different roles. The active player will be the Narrator, whose job is to describe the world around the main character, and to reveal a Clue that hints at a terrifying cosmic mystery. Another will be the Witness, who portrays the main character and determines their actions in the story. Any other players are Whisperers, who support the Narrator by dripping in atmospheric description, answering the Narrator’s questions, and playing supporting characters. Each turn, we'll swap roles until eventually, we send the main character stumbling towards a confrontation with a cosmic evil. Time to find out the truth behind the Clues, and drive the story to a horrifying conclusion. 

This game is perfect for fans of cosmic horror, card prompts, Fiasco, and other storytelling games. 

New players welcome.

"You are epic pirate captains in a loose confederation. Your mission is to explore the archipelago, deal with supernatural complications, and defend your gold against other pirates. The Admiral, Rakefelon Bones McBones, Slayer of the Hidden Sea, has been cursed by the gods of the sea to walk only on soil, leaving you to fend for yourselves while he climbs the tallest mountain he can reach to meet with the sky gods for help. 

This leaves you, the remaining captains, in charge of the fleet’s home port of Deepwash Anchorage for the time being. You must work together with your crews behind you to deal with whatever threats appear. Fail and Rakefelon Bones McBones will have you nailed to the deck for sure."

In Nancy Druid, you will play as a druid scout who solves mysteries along with a trusty animal companion! Your magic is drawn from the natural world, the day-night cycle, and the turning of the seasons. Will you be a sun druid, who brings brightness and a warm glow to all, with the help of your scout troop's companion critter? Or will you be a moon druid, versed in all things celestial and able to transform into an animal yourself? Nancy Druid runs on the Polymorph system, where each player only ever uses ONE polyhedral die: a d4, a d6, a d8, or a d10. Each die represents a different character “role” in the group, making you better or worse at certain types of actions. It helps characters feel unique and encourages teamwork! Do you wanna join a troop of scout kids and come solve a mystery?

A new energy drink has hit the market, and it is giving the non-super kids at Halcyon High special abilities, if only for a short amount of time. Will you be able to help these students come to terms with the things you learn about yourself when you gain powers while also saving the city? Here’s hoping otherwise, the Sadie Hawkins dance is going to be cancelled, for sure.  

This game will be great if you like superheroes, queer people, and combinations of the two. Players should build characters ahead.

New players are welcome.

The game runner is very familiar with this system.
