“We're All Super-ior“ is a Standard One Shot, West Marches (Roughly Connected) session in the Masks system, led by Ansel Burch

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.

“Single Unique Power” is a Standard one-shot in the Possible Worlds system. Led by Nona de Koning.

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! 

This game will be great if you like collaborative storytelling, character creation, and worldbuilding. 

New players welcome. 

Players should have played some RPGs before.

The game runner is very familiar with this system.
