“Plunder on the Rhinoceros Express” is a Standard One Shot in the Daggerheart system, led by Sean (Spoony) (Copy)
The Drylands were a place that put the old stories aside. While superstitious miners have long said that the desert's crystals are made from the very life essence of Forgotten Gods, the folk around here had real work to do, and actual deities were left for campfire stories. That is, until a terrible earthquake heralded the birth of a massive colossus, spun into being from the wreckage of a steam locomotive that had been carrying a shipment of magical essentia crystals. Having answered the call of something ancient and apocalyptic, the titanic steel rhinoceros dubbed 'The Cleaver' has devastated the area and stalks the land with brilliantly shining crystals glowing upon its back day and night.
The bold prospectors, tired laborers, and born-again worshippers in the dusty town of Wyllin’s Gulch were thrown from their routine of industry and exploitation by the quake and subsequent titanic monster rampage, forced to raise scattered armies and watch them die to the behemoth’s strength. And, as legend has it, this is only the first of many titanic beasts poised to terrorize the land.
In this adventure, you’ll play a heroic posse of mavericks on an unusual and dangerous heist to save the land...or at least buy some time until the next calamity, while also (hopefully) turning a tidy profit.
Track down the train titan, pilfer all the crystals you can get your hands on, and live to tell the tale."
This game will be great if you like Shadow of the Colossus, Red Dead Redemption, or Deadlands
The game runner will provide level 1 characters.
New players are welcome.
Players need to have played some RPGs.

“Hunters of the Free Coast” is a Playtest session in the D&D 5e system, led by Maui
Ten years ago, the Wildfire Gang rode into Thistleberry Ranch and left nothing but ash and blood in their wake. They thought they’d silenced every witness...ended every life. But vengeance has a long memory. Now, the children they missed have come of age and they’re hunting the hunters.
Saddle up for a gritty, revenge-fueled tale of justice, reckoning, and blood on the frontier of the Free Coast."

“Return to Tarjeta Mesa” a West Marches (Roughly Connected) session in the Mavericks system. Led Ansel Burch.
Lots of places have a west and our world is no different. The people of the continent may have a peaceful coexistence but the people who society has no room for or who have no room for society.
This game will be great if you like historically inaccurate cowfolks, and weird western stories. Players should build beginning characters ahead. https://the-indecisionist.itch.io/mavericks
This session will be especially good for new players.

This game will be great if you like poorly researched Westerns, non-historical histories, and Westerns that probably aren't in the American West

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.
This game will be great if you like poorly researched space Westerns, and non-historical histories
We will build characters in the session.

It's Christmas Eve and our posse's train has broken down, stranding them in a small frontier town for a few days. Sadly there is no Christmas cheer to be found, as a raiding party has apparently made off with all the town's provisions. Can our protagonists of questionable morality possibly rectify this situation?

“The Siege of Tsuin no Yama Mura” a Standard One Shot in the L5R 4th Edition system. Led by Raynor Frejrûn.
The small village of Tsuin no Yama Mura (Twin Mountain Village) is a quiet village nestled between a pair of beautiful mountains. The nearby river makes Tsuin no Yama good for fishing and for growing rice and it also has a few buckwheat farms in the mountains. While resting their tired feet in town, a small group of samurai must put aside their differences and come together to protect the village from a bandit raid that threatens a major crop supplier of the empire.
This game will be great if you like Feudal Samurai Action, Drama and Magic!
