Clifton Bay connects Halcyon City to the wide ocean and has been the focus of community life in the region since the first peoples built their village here. It is now home to the statue of the Triumvirate, a celebrated symbol of protection. Not many people know that it was originally called “The Statue of Liberation”, sculpted by Marlene Framble. The statue’s three faces looked out with steely (bronze, actually) determination over the city's weak and endangered people. It inspired the birth of the Alliance of Super Saviors and attracted the attention of Lady Indomitable’s people from across the stars. That was a long time ago. Since then, it's been remade about 50 times. Enough that the unveilings only attract the deputy mayor and a handful of onlookers. It’s enough to drive an artist mad…

Take the Oath and venture into Mythic Bastionland, a TTRPG inspired by British folklore, Arthurian legends, and our own medieval-era myths. Rooted in GHD's previous games, Into the Odd and Electric Bastionland, the gameplay is fast and streamlined, and the world is dangerous. Nobody ever rolls to hit. You go straight to the damage roll. Every turn you decide to stay in the fight matters. Use the new Gambit system to push enemies, splinter shields, drag them down from their steeds, and deftly reposition yourself. As Knights, you also use Feats to Smite for extra damage, Focus on the perfect tactical maneuver, or Deny the strongest attacks of your foes. But combat is only a small part of the game! Like the other NSR games that inspired this, exploration and clever problem-solving will each play key parts in your adventure!

In Mythic Bastionland, you begin as a young knight errant, seeking the glory to lead warbands, earn a place in court, and rule your own domain. Glory is found in hunting the Myths of this world, manifesting them into reality while protecting the Realm from their strange influence. Each player randomly becomes one of 72 pre-existing Knights, each with personal equipment, a unique ability, and a passion that fuels their spirit. As your glory grows, you might eventually embark on the legendary City Quest, an impossible challenge to find The City itself, a shining metropolis seen only in dreams. Mythic Bastionland was inspired by the lies we tell about history, whether by misconception or design. A past that never was, brought to life, and a place that you can visit if you know the way. Come try it for yourself and discover Omens that lead you to confront the first of 72 Myths this land has to offer you!

New players welcome. 

The GM is very familiar with NSR games.

Neon City Blues is a TTRPG where you play as a group of street-level characters, bartenders, street hawkers, dealers etc. The PCs find themselves pulled into the underbelly of the city’s darkest mysteries as discreet and disposable troubleshooters. They don’t live in the shadows of towering megacorporations and gleaming skyscrapers, but on the grimy streets. They’re the ones who hear the whispers, see the deals go down, and know where the bodies are buried. What starts as hustling to survive turns into investigating crimes that no one else will touch. As they dig deeper, they begin to uncover nefarious schemes by corrupt politicians, corporate executives, and the criminal elite, who use the people of Neon City as pawns and sacrifices in their quest for power.

Neon City Blues is a 'Carved from Brindlewood' game, meaning the solution to the mystery is NOT prewritten and unknown to the GM as well.  You'll visit locations, meet suspects and gather clues, then Theorize as a group how to put it all together. The more clues you can tie into your theory, the better the odds that you are right! 

In today's case, Luna V is missing! She is a cultural icon: not only is she one of Neon City's hottest musos, but she is also an MC beyond compare. Her raves at the Grotto, the nightclub where she has a residency, were legendary. Her manager is getting anxious and needs you to solve the case. And prompto, as he's already working on finding a replacement, one who is far more glitchy and far more dangerous...

Call of Cthulhu is a TTRPG based upon the worlds of H. P. Lovecraft. It is a game of secrets, mysteries, and horror. You're not heroes, just ordinary people who investigate things that turn out to be beyond their imagination. You travel to strange and dangerous places, uncover foul plots, and stand against the terrors of the Cthulhu Mythos. You encounter sanity-blasting entities, monsters, and insane cultists. Within strange and forgotten tomes of lore, you discover revelations that man was not meant to know. You and your companions may very well decide the fate of the world. Today's scenario is Kane's Tone’s modern-day scenario with a cast of pregenerated characters to play as. 

YOU WAKE UP.

You sit among trees, lying on soft pine needles.

Your clothes are torn, your hands are scratched. You’re in pain. 

You don’t know how you got here. And you don’t know who you are.

There’s a dim, pulsing yellow light at the top of the hill, nearby.

Something is very, very wrong.

Will you figure out what happened in time to avoid what is coming?

Swamp Goblin Mysteries is a short, simplified, fun and likely pretty chaotic game using the Carved from Brindlewood engine. You're goblins, you're in a swamp, you solve mysteries! But no one actually knows who the culprit is ahead of time, not even the GM! Embrace the chaos of being a little goblin with custom moves like Agent of Chaos, Cheat and Reckless. You also have one Main Thing. This is a swamp goblin special interest that is very dear to you, such as drunken debauchery or rejecting personal hygiene. It’s up to you how often you bring it up, but when it does come up, you have to be incredibly passionate about it. Get into trouble, find clues, brainstorm theories and end up with a big finale where you try to catch the culprit!

Murder Most Foolish is a collaborative group storytelling game about crafting the clues of an Agatha Christie-style murder mystery, and then using those clues to determine what happened. However, the twist in this story is that everyone is guilty of the dastardly crime. A detective (NPC controlled by alternating players or a GM depending on player count) first questions the rest of the players who serve as the unusual suspects for a murder that has occurred. Together your group fills out the Evidence Tracker with outlandish clues. Once filled the suspects take turns using those clues to describe how they attempted the murder, the detective weaving each suspects story together into one large murder most foolish. While the game deals with murder and violence, it intends to do so in a comedic and cartoonish manner. Come make your own outrageous murder mystery story full of camp and plot holes!

Players need to have played some TTRPGs before and be comfortable with improv.

Welcome to Camp Flying Moose!

Summer camp is a magical experience, isn’t it? The heat of the summer, the excitement of being away from home, and the sense that you are figuring out who you are. Away from your parents, school, and your annoying little brother. Nights spent whispering secrets and toasting marshmallows with a group of girls you don’t see 10 months of the year. Exchanging friendship bracelets, learning new skills, tipping canoes, and identifying animal tracks. It’s always the best part of the year. Don’t forget the afternoons spent deep in the forest, helping the local werewolf break the curse that keeps her in human form or performing the rituals to end the time vortex that keeps rapidly aging the campers… wait…. what?!

Camp Flying Moose for Girls of All Kinds is a PbtA game about teen girls at a summer camp filled with strange supernatural occurrences. Each session has a mystery to solve involving a strange event at camp. Use your skills, friendship, and empathy to help supernatural creatures solve their problems! 

New players welcome.

System Pitch

Things from the Flood is a TTRPG using the Year Zero Engine, a D6 dice pool system from Free League, and the sequel to Tales from the Loop. You need no familiarity with any of these to play. Play as Teens in an alternate 1990s Sweden, after a decade of change and disaster, with plenty of weird stuff to investigate. There are the leftover remnants of a few decades of science-fiction technology (The Loop) gone awry. The Flood has transformed the once pastoral islands into a dark marshland. Some say that the dark water pouring out of the ground comes from within the Loop itself. Machines are afflicted by a strange virus, turning them unreliable and dangerous. 

Still, your lives go on as before. You go to school, fall miserably in love, and try to do everything possible to fend off boredom. When you hear about other teens going missing, and even turning up dead, you realize its time to gather the group again.

One way or another, you will find out what these Things from the Flood really are. You're still balancing day-to-day life with solving exciting mysteries with your friends. But this is a darker time, and the stakes are higher. You're not a kid anymore, and death is not off the table. 

Session Pitch

When the Teens find another local kid dead, they soon find themselves in the centre of a mystery threatening the whole population of the Mälaren Islands. What kind of creature is the machine fetus? And who are these strange robots guarding the secret?

New players are welcome.

"Some people go off into the world and become too big for their hometown. It happened to my brother. He writes every once in a while and once tried to visit, but this place just isn't big enough for him anymore. 

That's why I had to bring you all here. That's the emergency. We got a letter last week, and it's suspicious. Everything about it raises red flags. I know if you read it, it all seems innocuous and normal. Trust me, if you knew my brother, you'd know that there's no way he could have written anything like this. That's why I'm putting together a group to go to the big city. We're going to find my brother and make sure he's okay. It won't be easy, I don't know. I don't know the first thing about life in that place. How do they get around? What kind of dangers might there be? What is the food like? How much money should we bring? 

Every family in the valley has someone who went off to the big city. So, the way I see we all have reason to worry if something's wrong there. We've got to go and see for ourselves. "

Everyone agrees that it's just a little too dicey to talk about with teens. Today, there is no choice.

Goblin Quest is a tabletop roleplaying game by Grant Howitt about slapstick violence, fatal ineptitude, and the most incredible adventure of your life.. Doodle and play five goblins each (in sequence, not parallel) and watch them one by one meet hilarious ends. As you play, you’ll tell stories about goblins trying to achieve basic tasks and meeting fatal misadventure as they do it. You’ll play the goblins, and you’ll steer them through (or, more commonly, directly into) adversity, and you’ll have a fun time doing it. Will they survive the dangerous world and complete all their silly quests? Probably not. But you'll have fun finding out! Today, your Goblins will go on a Quest we'll call A Life on the Ocean Waves. Tired of the reeking claustrophobia of the Green Pits, you’ve decided to get together a greasy crew of restless adventure types and set sail for a nautical life. Unfortunately, you’re going to have to build a boat out of filthy rubbish and scrounged scrap, and all you have to sail it on is the festering swamp that borders the western wall of the Great Battle Camp. What could possibly go wrong with that plan, right? 

This game will be great if you like drawing, goblins, shenanigans, harebrained schemes, Saturday morning cartoons, and Grant Howitt's games. This system is especially great for new players. 

The game runner is very familiar with this system. 

We will build characters in session. 

Note: drawing your goblins is a minor but required part of gameplay; this can be done digitally or on paper. If drawing on paper, please be prepared to take pictures of your goblins (using a smartphone) and share/upload them in our game's thread here on Discord.

All Hands on Deck is a zero-prep GMless game and a hack of For The Queen. In this game, we collaboratively tell a story about a ship, its crew, and the sea they sail on. It is a game about the relationships between those people, about relying on each other, about being an individual in a team. We start by briefly discussing what sort of ship you sail, giving it a captain and naming them both. There is no need to dwell on details at this step; we'll learn more about our individual crew members, our captain, and our ship as our story develops! 

This game will be great if you like For The Queen, ships, pirate crews, and collaborative prompt-based storytelling.
