At night, you dream. Your dreams are not idle imaginings, but visits to a persistent world of wonders and dangers both personal and alien. Will you find power there? Will you find freedom? Or will you slowly slip into Entanglement, and be trapped there forever? Play to find out!

Dreampunk is a PbtA-style game that uses a deck of surreal cards to encourage an improvisational style for inspiring challenges and obstacles. It actively involves both the GM and the players in this process! Rather than the numerical randomness of dice, it uses these cards as both creativity prompts and a resource to power your special abilities. Your character is a Dreamer, someone from a waking world who is drawn to the Dream when they sleep. As a Dreamer, you have powerful abilities to shape the world around you. To do so, you must incorporate elements from surreal art cards into your action using an element of your choice from that card. Lean into dream logic and find out all that your imagination makes possible!

Characters should be created ahead of time with guidance from the GM. The GM will also provide art cards, but if you prefer, you may use your own deck from Dixit, Mysterium, Everway, or a similar game, as long as you can upload images of your drawn cards to a shared virtual whiteboard.

This game will be great if you like PbtA, card resolution mechanics, Belonging Outside Belonging, Dixit, Mysterium, Everway, tarot, art, interpreting images, dream logic, and collaborative storytelling. 

New players are welcome. Players need to have played some RPGs. The game runner is new to this system, but very familiar with PbtA and the board games the game was inspired by.

Welcome to Yazeba's Bed & Breakfast, a sprawling old house outside time and space, where it’s always September 15th and there’s always room for a new visitor. The unusual blend of premade characters, modular rules, and legacy mechanics makes this TTRPG perfect for pick-up play: busy players can drop in and out without ever feeling lost, and anyone who wants to jump in can make a long-term impact without a long-term commitment. Yazeba's is yours to change. Perhaps Residents will leave or change, Guests will become far more important than you expected, or Journeys will take unexpected twists. Take control of one of the 7 long-term residents of the B&B or choose from a cast of 50 quirky guests, each of whom has their own ongoing storylines.

Chapters can be played in any order and include things like lazy afternoons, frightful nights, insurmountable chores, and zany competitions, so every adventure is full of surprises. When we were little, we were taught that a story is a sequence of events with a beginning, middle and end. But that’s not how all stories work: some loop around on themselves, some are told out of sequence, and some never end. After we play one Chapter, we can play another without worrying too much about whether it came before or after the Chapter we just played, or how much time has passed. Think back on that prolific paperback series you may have once read: you might have missed a few issues, or read them out of order, but you were always able to figure out what was going on. That's what Yazeba's is going for!

Chapters are short, so we may play more than one adventure during our session, swapping characters in between! 

If you've played Yazeba's before, feel free to let your gamerunner know which chapters you've played, so you can try some new ones. There are many different types to suit different moods and player counts.

This game will be great if you like legacy board games, trying different things, and collaborative storytelling.

New players are welcome. Players need to have played some RPGs. The game runner is very familiar with this system.

The game comes with pre-existing characters to pick from.

Have you ever wondered what bounty hunters do when the galaxy no longer needs them? In this game called A Complicated Profession, they start new careers hosting intergalactic cruises! Reunite your disbanded crew of jaded sidekicks, shabby droids and shady accomplices. Then pick a hosting role on your cruise ship and start a new life together! Gradually leave more of your old Hunter self behind and embrace your new role as Host, although the past will always be a part of who you are. We'll play 1 to 3 cruises, depending on the play speed of the group, each cruise featuring different passengers and three different exciting events.

A Complicated Profession is a GMless collaborative storytelling TTRPG. Players will start by picking a Hunter and Host role from a variety of templates, then go through a mad-libs style fill-in-the-blanks process to create their characters, ship and galaxy. Maybe you used to be the Hotspot Pilot or the Hired Muscle? Well, no more. How about becoming a Chef, the Live Entertainment or simply the Janitor in your new career? Once your crew settles into their new identity, it's time to find some clients and take them through various exciting events! From excursions to meddling in their love life, here you can do it all. 

This game will be great if you like collaborative storytelling, worldbuilding, space, cruises, and Saturday Morning cartoons.

Final Lap is a zero prep GMless game where we collaborative tell the story of racers in a cartoony videogame like Mario Kart and Wreck-It-Ralph's Sugar Rush, trying to take on The Champion in the final race of the season! It is a Descended From The Queen game, using the prompt-based collaborative storytelling mechanics from For the Queen in different themes. In this case, it features themes of racing, rivalry, friendship, and self-sacrifice. No familiarity with any of these things is needed to play, but being comfortable improvising things on the spot based on various random prompts is key. This game is pretty much entirely roleplay. And while this game features a race, the goal of this game is not to win the race. It is likely that the Champion will win it, rather than any of us. There are no game mechanics to simulate the race. The game emulates the story of the race, as do many fictions featuring drivers. 

This game will be great if you like Mario Kart, For The Queen, and collaborative prompt-based storytelling.

 In this GMless game you create a map of the Dolly Dream House together while you tell the story of its creative and imaginative renovation by your Dolly group. Randomly dropped dice will inspire where rooms can be created and what you may encounter there, but the specifics of the renovations and the stories that take place inside each room are up to you! It's a mixture of drawing and storytelling, all done together collaboratively in a shared virtual space. Please make sure you're okay with drawing on a virtual whiteboard. No skills are needed, MS paint level drawings are 100% fine and basically expected 

You are a group of Dollys in a pinktastic plastic world who bought a Dolly Dream House to move in there together. A Dolly Dream House can be a single mansion or a complex of many gorgeous buildings. Your purchase contract has some basic information about the extravagant rooms of the Dolly Dream House, which are meant to be explored and furnished. You may of course also design the paths between the rooms and buildings according to your excellent taste. And your Dolly Dream House is of course located in an interesting neighborhood where people like to visit each other often. As you make your way from room to room, you’re going to meet folks from this wonderful community. The game ends when renovations finish and the Dollys move in! This game will be great if you like drawing games, collaborative storytelling, cozy games, cartoons, toys, nostalgia, your inner kid, and Cozy Town. This system is especially great for new players. The game runner is very familiar with this system.

Trophy is a strongly collaborative storytelling game with horror themes throughout. It is about a group of treasure-hunters on a doomed expedition into a natural biome that doesn’t want them there. The game tells the story of the physical and mental descent of the treasure-hunters as they move deeper and deeper into their location. Their journey will ultimately bring them to ancient ruins that hold the treasure they seek, and the monstrous entities which now dwell there. This is not, however, a hopeful story of brave and daring adventurers slaying dragons and dragging bags of gold with them back to town. This is a horror story of entitled pillagers meeting tragic ends. It is very likely that all the treasure-hunters will die or — at best — be permanently scarred and haunted by their expedition. Can you trust your friends? Can you even still trust yourself? In this game, Trophy isn't the treasure you seek, but nature trying to take you as its trophy instead.

Trophy Dark is designed to be played as a oneshot with small groups of 2-3 player characters. Players are heavily involved in offering up possible consequences for others throughout the game instead of just playing their own characters, so please be comfortable with this when signing up. Single oneshot adventures are called Incursions. 

Today's incursion is called Throne of the Forest Queen, where the following lures in your characters...

The constant drizzle that has accompanied you through the tangled woods abates as you come into a lush glade baked in golden sunlight. The stink of mud and leaf mold is cut through with a cleaner scent of pine and crisp mornings. A stag at the edge of the clearing casts a lazy glance at you before trotting further into the wood, its flashing tail an invitation to follow. You have reached the Queensweald—rumoured home to salvation, inspiration, cures to fantastical diseases, and wonders conjured only in dreams. Only the stout of heart enter the realm of the Forest Queen—fewer still return. Why then, if her favour is so hard to claim, do so many mortals seek it? Quite simply, it has value beyond gold. The queen’s power is nearly limitless. She controls the fae court of the forest, and can make the dreams of mortals into reality if she so chooses. For so long as people desire the impossible, they will venture in search of her...

This game will be great if you like impending doom, collaborative storytelling, horror. 

Characters will be created together at the start of the session. This can be done in mere minutes, assisted by random tables and dice rolls.

Players need to have played some RPGs. The game runner is very familiar with this system.

System Pitch: Brindlewood Bay is a PbtA-style game about a group of elderly women—members of the local Murder Mavens mystery book club—who find themselves solving actual murder mysteries in their quaint New England town. Being retired but with plenty of time and wits left, they've used what they learned from their favorite books to solve all sorts of cases. And you're invited to come solve the next one! There is no canon solution to the mysteries, instead, players must collect and piece together many different clues and come up with a convincing theory, then play to find out if they are right! Players are often encouraged to contribute to the narrative, not just when coming up with a solution, but also when exploring new locations and meeting new characters! 

Session Pitch: This time we are playing a Sweeps Week mystery, which takes the Mavens on a trip to a different town with more futuristic/scifi/alternate-universe elements. In addition to the alternate setting, the case to solve isn't a murder, but the question is still whodunnit ;-)

The Mavens are visiting Dr. Marry’s Majestic Animals Petting Zoo, or MAPZ, on its grand opening. MAPZ is located off a twisting, rarely used highway connecting Brindlewood Bay to its neighbor city, Mucky Point. The zoo sits on a former dairy farm previously owned and operated by generations of a Danish family until its sudden closing 30 years ago. Rumors swirled in the past year as large equipment deliveries were spotted on the road to the farm. Many were surprised and delighted by the opening of what is described as “the world’s most innovative petting zoo.” Dr. Marry is an expert in animal genetics and has been doing unconventional research to create hybrids and evolved animals. Some notable zoo residents include bioluminescent rabbits, pygmy goats that smell like french fries, and highly intelligent geese. Some locals are concerned about the unusual nature of the zoo, while others look forward to new tourism. The Mavens have come to see it for themselves. This game will be great if you like cozy murder mysteries, PbtA games, collaborative storytelling, improv, Murder She Wrote, Riverdale, Pretty Little Liars, One Of Us Is Lying Players should build characters ahead. Character creation is a really quick multiple choice process. The game runner will contact players in advance to share handouts (rules reference & character sheets) and make your selections. You may bring an existing character with 0-1 advancements. New players are welcome. Players need to have played some RPGs. The game runner is very familiar with this system.

System Pitch Legacy: Life Among the Ruins is a PbtA game about the survivors of a reality-twisting apocalypse, and how they adapt to and rebuild their new world. Unique is the shift between the zoomed-out overview of your setting over multiple generations and the zoomed-in play of individual scenes. Every player gets two different playbooks, one for their family and one for their character. When your own character isn't in a scene, you can grab one of the quick characters and guest-star in someone else's family! As you play, you’ll move between the family and character levels, zooming in to play through a short adventure with a group of characters and then zooming out to show the broad strokes of your families pursuing their agenda. Your family (i.e. faction) is a collection of survivors brought together by blood, loyalty, or ideology, with their own strange powers hard-earned as they survived the apocalypse. They have their own needs, strengths, and doctrine, and you will use their forces to conduct diplomacy, claim resources, and use subterfuge on other factions. Families act slowly, taking days or weeks to take action. You’ll also have an individual character - a particular member of your family who is your story’s focus. They’re in a position to change the course of the family’s history, whether the family intended to give them that power or not. They’ll have their own skills and powers, as well as the ability to command the family’s forces and resources. They’re more flexible than a family, able to act in a matter of moments and call on their friends from other factions for aid. If you play beyond a oneshot, your character's choices can even impact their family for many generations to come!

A CENTURY OF DARKNESS I sometimes wonder what sunlight was like. My grandfather told me stories his mother had told him – how you could stand on a tall building and see the city stretching away from you and bustling with life. How you could stand in a field – a field! – and close your eyes and bask in its warmth. How every day it painted the entire sky, reds and blues and purples. But that was then, and this is now. Now the only light we have is the light we make, burning oil for each moment a fizzing bulb or burning lamp is shining. And every hour of every day they burn, because outside the light they might be lurking. The wraiths came when the sun went out – though maybe they were always waiting. Their bodies are smoke, and their eyes are flames that cast no light, but their claws? Those are most certainly real. Even now I can hear their whispers and songs outside, but in a way I’m grateful – it’s a welcome distraction from the splutters of our dying generator. Something must change. We must make a change. I will head out into the darkness tomorrow, friends at my side, and find a way to bring the sun back.

Beak, Feather, & Bone is a collaborative worldbuilding tool as well as a competitive map-labeling RPG. It's original setting comes from Ravenfolk myth, but works with any setting. For this oneshot we'll skip past the lore and play as humans in a medieval type of town (which may absolutely include mythical/fantasy/magical elements), to keep the game the most accessible to everyone. In this game we are all a player; there is no GM. You do not control a single character, but speak as the voice of an entire faction within the city. Starting with an unlabeled city map, players are assigned community roles before taking turns claiming and describing locations. We draw from a standard 52-card deck to determine a building's purpose and then describe its beak (reputation), feather (appearance), and bone (interior). As buildings are claimed, a narrative for the town and its inhabitants emerges, including major NPCs and shifting power dynamics. Will your faction take the seat of power at the end? Play to find out!

“Single Unique Power” is a Standard one-shot in the Possible Worlds system. Led by Nona de Koning. Friday, May 23, 2025 4:00 AM-6:00 AM Minimum of 3, maximum of 5 people. Team up and create an exciting world and its superpowered inhabitants! Single Unique Power is a collaborative cast-building and setting-creation game inspired by the “one person, one power” trope popular in superhero media, manga, and anime. Examples include mutations in X-Men, quirks in My Hero Academia, but also TTRPG staples like PbtA playbooks and class archetypes. In each of these examples, select characters all have unique, personalized powers. Everyone will be asked by the gamerunner to submit several random single-word prompts ahead of time. During the game, those prompts will inspire both our setting and the characters that live in it. We'll learn about their powers, weaknesses, and personalities. For some of them, we'll learn a bit about previous events that once occurred in their lives. You don't own any one character, as character sheets tend to move around the table, making their creations a group project. At the end of this game, we'll have created a setting populated by a colorful cast of characters as well as bits and pieces of their backstories. It's a fun standalone exercise, but it may also inspire you to take these characters into future games!

You have just joined a new family of goblins and want to make yourselves useful. Clearly, the best way to do so is by running errands for your new community: Buying vegetables at the market or procuring the services of a local wizard to get your wise leader unstuck from his chamber pot. Sounds easy, right? Well, unfortunately, you've got to contend with a world built for folk much bigger and stronger than you. And on top of that, you're both easily distracted and full of energy! Clearly a winning combination! Pick from various entertaining Goblin types like the Rascal, the Rambler, the Nibbler or the Whiz-Wart. Play to see how things go wrong, complications mount, and these ordinary, everyday tasks spiral into hilarious (mis)adventures. This game will be great if you like PbtA, goblins, being tiny, creative problem solving, shenanigans. This system is especially great for new players.

In Something Tookish, you play as a Halfling in a cozy little village, solving various mysteries. Not everything is a crime and there's nothing as gruesome as murder, oh no, they wouldn't do that! But petty theft or spats between neighbours also require someone to meddle solve them, right? And you're just the Halflings for the job! This game uses the Carved from Brindlewood framework. This means (just like in Brindlewood Bay), there is no canon solution to the mysteries. It's up to the players to come up with a clever way to tie everything together. However, there are plenty of clues to find and plenty of locals to meet! This oneshot is for 2-4 Halflings and will take about 3 hours. Our session pitch: "The village is buzzing with excitement, for the annual baking contest takes place today! Everyone is busy with preparations, for even those who are not entering a baked good into the competition have been pressed into service by someone who is. You arrive very early, only to find a mortified Belinda Sackville, who approaches you in a panic. Can you help find her missing muffin tin? She promised to outdo herself this year and keep up her winning streak!"

Monster Care Squad is a non-violent RPG where you play as a member of an elite team of Monster Care Specialists. You work alongside your fellow specialists to investigate trouble, diagnose illnesses, and treat the horrible Wounds inflicted by the False Gold. How you will go about this will largely depend on the Monsters your group decides to treat. Monsters range in scale from titanic megafauna to little bigger than your hand and in damage potential from cataclysmic world enders to mischievous trouble makers. In the world of Ald-Amura, Monsters and Humans live in harmony with one another. Humans care for Monsters, providing food and shelter for them, while Monsters lend their power, magic, and might to humanity. But the peace between Humans and Monsters is now an uneasy one. Monsters are afraid of who might be infecting their kind with the False Gold illness, Humans are afraid of their cities being leveled. Everyone is on eggshells and the beautiful balance that typified Ald-Amura is on the brink of collapse. However, you will find no rules for intentionally inflicting pain on anyone or anything in this game, as the first rule of being a Monster Care Specialist is to Do No Harm. This is a PbtA-style game with three distinct phases of play: Diagnosis (what's wrong and how to treat it), Synthesis (making the right cure) and Symbiosis (applying the actual treatment). We'll go through one entire loop, meeting and treating a single Monster. This game will be great if you like PbtA, playing healers, caring for animals, distinct phases of play.

The Broken Cask Society is a GMless RPG for up to 4 players where we venture across the wilds in search of the finest inns of the land! You create your character using various playbooks (archetypes), and trek through a fantasy world as a member of the Broken Cask Society. Some characters may care more about the journey, others are all about the drinks or care mostly about the food. Together our group will ford rivers, scale mountains, and blaze trails to the most famous (and infamous) inns, pubs, taverns, wineries, drinkeries, alehouses, and meaderies in the land. Through the use of random tables we'll find out what happens and create a wonderful, cozy story as we go. Prepare for the journey and travel across the land to explore a new inn. Once there, we'll take some time to feast & judge its offerings, before resting so we can do it all over again next time. This game will be great if you like PbtA, taverns, cozy fantasy stories, collaborative storytelling and random tables. New players are welcome. The game runner is very familiar with this system.

BRINDLEWOOD BAY is a roleplaying game about a group of elderly women—members of the local Murder Mavens mystery book club—who find themselves solving actual murder mysteries in their quaint New England town. There is no canon solution to the mysteries, instead, players must collect and piece together many different clues and come up with a convincing theory, then play to find out if they are right! The specific mystery will be one not played at TTRPG Pickup Con before and is selected based on submitted lines & veils :)

The Mavens themselves are all elderly women whose partners have passed away and whose children have long flown the nest. Now, they’re enjoying their golden years in the picturesque town of Brindlewood Bay, keeping their homes the way they like, pursuing their hobbies, and finding comfort and companionship in each other. Their mystery book club has been meeting on the top floor of The Candlelight Booksellers every Saturday evening for the last ten years. The Mavens are particularly fond of The Gold Crown Mysteries series by Robin Masterson, featuring the globe-trotting super-sleuth, Amanda Delacourt (which only exists in-universe and not in our world).

The Mavens' special interest in these books has resulted in them becoming amateur detectives themselves, and by the time the game starts, they have helped local police solve several high profile crimes. Sometimes people approach them to get their help on a case, but usually, the Mavens just stumble onto it—much to the chagrin of the authorities, who almost always resent their meddling.

There are some supernatural elements in play in the background, but those will need to be uncovered through repeated plays and aren't a part of this oneshot. There is also a meta-level to the setting, where the Mavens are actually characters in a TV show that the players are watching. If there is enough interest in it, the gamerunner is willing to offer this system at future cons in a West-Marches approach where both of these elements will feature more prominently.

This game will be great if you like cozy murder mysteries, PbtA games, collaborative storytelling, improv, Murder She Wrote, Riverdale, Pretty Little Liars, One Of Us Is Lying Players should build characters ahead.

Characters who played 0-2 sessions (this system has no levels). Character creation is a really quick multiple choice process. The gamerunner will contact players in advance to share handouts (rules reference & character sheets) and make your selections

New players are welcome., Players need to have played some RPGs.

The syrup-making mice of Maplemoor have lost contact with their garrison in Oakhollow Keep, a lightning-hollowed stump vital to the colony’s security. What happened there? What threats remain? And what secrets yet lie in the keep? Tread carefully and think creatively, for the very traps and defenses that hinder your investigation may yet be used against your foes…

About Mausritter:

The settled mice huddle together, hidden in their settlements in trees and burrows and walls, scraping and saving. A tenuous existence. 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 who 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 OSR-style RPGs, Redwall, The Rescuers, The Hobbit, Over The Hedge, and Thumbelina.

We will build level 1 characters in the 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.

"Pokeymanz is a TTRPG in the Pokémon setting using a hack of the Savage Worlds system. Battles follow the cinematic style of the anime more so than videogame stats. Moves must be roleplayed out and player creativity is highly encouraged! Using a dice step system with exploding dice, encounters will stay tense until the very end :D You do not need to be familiar with the system, but you should be enthusiastic about Pokémon (no need for a lot of knowledge) and like the idea of coming up with creative descriptions during combat.

For this introductory one shot, your Trainers will take part in the well known Bug-Catching Contest. Using just one starter Pokémon, can you catch the best one before fainting or running out of Sport Balls? If they make swift work of the competition, they can compete in a follow-up Contest in the nearby arena using their newly caught Pokémon! "

This game will be great if you like Pokémon, Digimon etc, creative roleplay, cinematic combat, Savage Worlds

The game runner will provide beginner level characters. Players can pick from several starter Pokémon upfront as well as customize their Trainer

The GM will offer several choices of starter Pokémon and trainer types.

And now. You have a job to do.

This game will be great if you like A Crown of Candy, Candyland, and Cartoons.

It has been over 3 months since the dead started rising. You have managed to survive with a small group over these past few months inside a small cabin in the woods. Unfortunately, your supplies are running low and if you don't restock soon, you won't make it another 2 weeks. Tensions are high and your group is starting to get restless. Your only hope is the local High School a few miles away. What awaits you in those dark halls? Can you make it out alive?

This game will be great if you like Survival Horror, Hard Choices, Zombie stuff, and of course The Walking Dead franchise

We will build beginner characters in the session.

This is a new game by Free League that is currently in Beta release.

I would like to play it to see how it runs. It is not happy, it is deadly, there is a chance your character will not survive the scenario. Please be mindful of the personal horror theme of the setting, the more you lean into the horror, the more fun it will be.

This session will be especially good for new players.

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

As long as any mouse can remember, the Everstorm has raged. Torrential downpours, stiff winds, and the crackle of lightning and thunder engulf the area around a half-buried abandoned power transformer.

Those few folk that enter the storm return raving about the living dead, a haunting spectre made entirely of lightning and the mad lightning wizard behind it all.

Lately, the dead have grown more bold, attacking and dragging travelers deep within the transformer. Are your mice brave enough to weather the Everstorm and stop the living dead?
