“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.

“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.

“Perpetual Temple of the Pale Falcon” a Standard One Shot in the Original Dungeons and Dragons system. Led by Sean F. Smith

"YOU CANNOT HAVE A MEANINGFUL CAMPAIGN IF [THE] TIME RECORD IS NOT [TAKEN]!

Rampaging hordes of goblinoids have been laying siege to follies and keeps in the outer regions of the duchy. The palace mage Xi’Gag has formed a plan to blunt the assault but is missing a key item of power - the time record, which lies ensconced in the mysterious Temple of the Pale Falcon. You have been conscripted to join a party tasked with its recovery.

SGi PERPETUAL TEMPLE OF THE PALE FALCON is the first in the Syzygy line of adventures, whose content is procedurally derived from the birth chart of an individual."

"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.

Riders of the Cowpoke Nebula

There are few who can brave the great ink long enough to learn to rope stars and fewer yet with the mettle to live with the loneliness of the frontier of heaven. When a group of ropers finds themselves together, no one can tell if they’ll fight like hell or be thick as an oort cloud within the hour. Someone must think it’s worth the risk of a posse to rope a whole star nursery.

Mavericks is a game in which your character sheet is a deck of cards. As you play, the deck will change, your powers will enhance, and your story will become epic. Use this game for any genre for a story-first experience that prioritizes big-picture narrative over blow-by-blow mechanics.

"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.

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.

“Mausritter: Brave Mice In A Dangerous World” a standard One Shot in the Mausritter system. Led by Nona de Koning.

Check out the rules!- https://losing-games.itch.io/mausritter

Each scheduled game will be a different adventure not run at Pickup Con before, so sign up for as many as you like :) About Mausritter:

The mouse kingdoms survive on the edge of collapse. A harsh winter or heartless cat could spell the end for all. The settled mice huddle together, hidden in their settlements in trees and burrows and walls, scraping and saving. A tenuous existence.

But you are not like those settled mice. By choice or by necessity you are an adventurer.

You live by your luck, your smarts, your bravery. With your friends by your side, you will abandon the warmth and safety of the mouse settlements and venture forth into the dark and dangerous places where other mice do not dare to tread. There is great wealth to be found by those that are willing to take it.

It's a huge and dangerous world out there. It does not look kindly on a small mouse. But if you are very brave and very clever and just a bit lucky, you might be able to survive. And if you survive long enough, you might even become a hero amongst mice."

This game will be great if you like Redwall, The Rescuers, The Hobbit, Over The Hedge, Thumbelina, OSR style RPGs

We will build level 1 characters in session.

Character creation is lightning quick and involves just a few random rolls. We'll do this together at the start of the session. If you've played Mausritter before and want to bring an existing character, contact me upfront to discuss.

This session will be especially good for new players.

“Mausritter: Brave Mice In A Dangerous World” a standard One Shot in the Mausritter system. Led by Nona de Koning.

Check out the rules!- https://losing-games.itch.io/mausritter

Each scheduled game will be a different adventure not run at Pickup Con before, so sign up for as many as you like :) About Mausritter:

The mouse kingdoms survive on the edge of collapse. A harsh winter or heartless cat could spell the end for all. The settled mice huddle together, hidden in their settlements in trees and burrows and walls, scraping and saving. A tenuous existence.

But you are not like those settled mice. By choice or by necessity you are an adventurer.

You live by your luck, your smarts, your bravery. With your friends by your side, you will abandon the warmth and safety of the mouse settlements and venture forth into the dark and dangerous places where other mice do not dare to tread. There is great wealth to be found by those that are willing to take it.

It's a huge and dangerous world out there. It does not look kindly on a small mouse. But if you are very brave and very clever and just a bit lucky, you might be able to survive. And if you survive long enough, you might even become a hero amongst mice."

“The Big Score” a Standard One Shot in the Crash Pandas system. Led by Collin R.

Get caught up in the lucrative (and highly illegal) Los Angeles street racing circuit and win big! Also, you're a bunch of raccoons. Driving the same car. 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.

"Well past the outside of town, at the edge of a still lake and the foot of the Obsidian Mountains, lies the manor of Count Võn Dragȗül. Your small town has long dwelt in the shadow of this mysterious nobleman, but little is known about him. So it was all the more shocking to find his wanted ad pinned to the door of the tavern this morning:

“Seeking to hire an enterprising group of mercenaries to rid my ancestral home of a malicious ghostly presence. Payment will be made in land or gold, as you desire. Please report to the front door of my home just after sunset. Those of religious affiliation need not apply.

-- Alabastrȃān Vladȇmǒrn Võn Dragȗül Count of the Obsidian Pass”

This game will be great if you like Rocky Horror Picture Show, The Mummy, What We Do In the Shadows

Players should build level 5 characters ahead.

    • Use point-buy or standard array for stat generation.

"On the fifth floor of gilded-age brownstone building, in Chicago’s Edgewater neighborhood, an ancient answering machine clicks on. “You’ve reached the Edgewater Supernatural Society. Please leave your name and the nature of your paranormal experience at the beep.”

“Hi, my name is Lyla Coleman. I own a dress shop in Boystown and I well, I think it's haunted? For the last couple weeks, the mannequins are in different poses when I come back in the morning. And I think they might be.... building something in the basement? It’s... I dunno an altar maybe? Can you guys send like an exorcist or someone?” "

This game will be great if you like Buffy or Angel, Supernatural, and X-Files.

Players should build characters ahead.

  • D&D 5E | Level 3

    • Use point-buy or standard array for stat generation.

    • Any officially published content for classes, feats, etc is fine. Permanent flying features excluded. Non-licensed content needs to be run by me, (a screenshot is probably fine) just don’t do it the night before the game.

    • HUMANS ONLY. Human variant is fine.

    • Do not choose a regular background. A modified list will be provided. DO NOT choose additional equipment.

This game is recommended for those that are comfortable with D&D 5E, as I won’t be creating new modern classes. We’ll be playing fast-and-loose in the interpretations of the flavor text if we need to keep things feeling “modern”.

If you have any backstory notes, please feel free to let me know. Please send me a copy of (or link to) your character sheet at least 2 days before we play. "
