However, this is more like a speed run of Super Mario Bros except it's a speed metal race to stop the end of the world. It's a heavy metal fueled rage fest with some super badass NPCs to face off against.”

Wilderfeast - You Are What You Eat
Dec 6
Wilderfeast - You Are What You Eat

Hunter. Ranger. Keeper. Chef. In Wilderfeast you are a wild-eater, better known as a wilder. You are human, though you might not look like it, as with every hunt you incorporate part of another monster into yourself. The first among your kind dedicated their lives to containing the frenzy, the incurable curse that amplifies hunger, pain, and rage in a vicious cycle. But despite their best efforts, the frenzy now circulates with virulent speed across the One Land. Hope remains that you can save the monsters threatened by the supernatural disease, but it is a hope that requires diligence and sacrifice. Wilders travel in packs, but they are not a formal order. No central authority or hierarchy governs them, and each is free to decide both what harmony with nature means and also how they hope to achieve it. Some wilders live like cave-dwelling beasts, clad in rugged furs and eschewing all polite company. Others act like wandering knights, adored by some and hated by others, their artful mutations forever separating them from those who have not sworn their oaths. But though they follow no orders, all wilders still perform the same duties. They spend their time between hunting monsters that cannot be saved and helping those that can. As the curse-virus called the frenzy spreads, the wilders fight to maintain harmony between humanity and nature. They kill the creatures they must nurture the ones they can, and consume the ones they fail to save. In doing so, wilders transform into half-human chimeras, for like all monsters, they derive their power from the One Law of the One Land: You are what you eat.

“For The Dungeon - Minions and Mayhem” is a standard one-shot led by Nona
Dec 7
“For The Dungeon - Minions and Mayhem” is a standard one-shot led by Nona

For the Dungeon! is a short comedy role-playing game that takes inspiration from PbtA and Fate. You play as minions protecting their dungeon. They serve without question and seek to accomplish their leader’s goals to the best of their abilities. Often this means venturing out beyond the dungeon to spread their agenda. Charging into danger with reckless abandon and causing mayhem is all in a day’s work. Characters are quite freeform and have no stats, but instead have traits. These Traits should be short phrases that describe your character’s Talent, Tool, and Motivation. You also get Shiny to buy any sort of item you can imagine may be useful and a special Perk to make you stand out from the pack. Players should attempt to embody what it means to be a minion. Feel free to explore wild and crazy ideas when it comes to your character. This game is designed to lean into the ridiculous. It has a strong emphasis on improvisation, but offers plenty of tools to help you with that!

This game will be great if you like PbtA, Fate, comedy, improv, minions and mayhem.

Players should figure out their character concepts ahead of time, the game runner will prompt you a day or two ahead of time to do so.

This game is especially good for new players

This game will be played in room #1 of the TTRPG Pickup Con Discord Server. Spectators are welcome in the Discord room.

“The Holiday Special That Didn't Happen” is a Standard One Shot using the Rebel Scum rules for Polymorph. Led by Ansel Burch

We have to get our dear friend back home in time for Light Day, a very real holiday we've all heard of before. They may come from a planet that is all one biome but their hometown is still tiny and the planet is poorly mapped. We're going to need all of our astrogation and navigation skills to make it in time. Fingers crossed the space fascists don't give us any trouble on the way.

This game will be great if you like Star Wars, road trip comedies, and making fun of the Star Wars holiday Special.

We will use pre-made characters. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0582/8372/0819/files/RebelScum_CrewoftheLastHope.pdf?v=1708710365

“The Wedding Ring at The Christmas Market” is a Slightly Modified One-Shot in the Unknown Armies 3rd Edition system led by garhallertie.
Dec 7
“The Wedding Ring at The Christmas Market” is a Slightly Modified One-Shot in the Unknown Armies 3rd Edition system led by garhallertie.

"Three days ago, PETRA BELLAGAMBA lost her Wedding Ring at the Christmas Market in a town none of you has actually been to. It's a nice town, but it has too big of a market this year. Nothing on the scale of Nuremberg, but it's pretty big. 

That might warrant hiring dangerous people to find a small lost object in a huge, shivering crowd on a snow day. But the real reason is that PETRA lost The Wedding Ring, a unique and indestructible object with strange powers.

Not everyone knows about these powers, but the people who do will stop at nothing to get ahold of it before you do.

Also, there's a really good raclette at this one stall you know about. The cheese is incredible.

PLEASE NOTE: This game is set in the Lost Room Universe (a show that came out on the Sci-Fi channel in 2006), not the normal Unknown Armies Universe.

(Unlike a normal Unknown Armies game, you won't be able to start out with an Adept School. If there's an Avatar identity that really fits, maybe.)

Keep in mind that Unknown Armies is a horror game and may delve into uncomfortably adult areas from time to time. We will still start with a quick Lines and Veils just in case!

You'll pretty much be creating your character, defining your group goal, and building their connection to 5 key NPCs (provided by the GM) as you go along."

This game will be great if you like 

  • competing with NPC parties

  • making up your own version of a holiday event like Christkindlmarkt

  • disrupting such an event with weirdness, maybe even a gunfight (but you're probably more sensible than that.)

  • magic Items that look like 1960s kitsch household objects

  • gaining skill bonuses from mental health changes

  • A horror world where there are magic objects and humans, but no other monsters

  • A consequence-based resolution system.

We will build characters in the session.

“Sentinel Comics RPG - Urban Infestation” is a standard one shot led by Nona

“Sentinel Comics RPG - Urban Infestation” is a standard one shot led by Nona

Did you ever want to be a superhero? Today's your day! Join the young teenage superheroes known as Team Daybreak Play as decisive Headlong, ambitious Rockstar, supportive Muse, cosmic Aeon Girl or ghostly Muerto in the Sentinel Comics RPG! In this system, you creatively combine your superpowers with your ordinary qualities to try and be the best heroes you can be while living up to your principles. The Sentinel Comics RPG uses its own GYRO system, which focuses on quick comic book-style action, where teamwork is key and where your hero becomes more powerful as the situation gets more dire and twists get thrown your way! Today's adventure is called Urban Infestation, where our team is called in to help the hero team Dark Watch over in Rook City. In the wake of the global destruction from the OblivAeon event, Rook City is worse than ever, rocked with rifts of chaos magic causing all kinds of havoc (and let’s be honest, Rook City–the capital of crime and urban decay–wasn’t in great shape to begin with). Myriad, a villain composed entirely of crawling insects whose origin is linked to members of Daybreak, is taking advantage of these magical rifts to cause even more carnage. Being a new team of young inexperienced heroes, victory is not guaranteed! The Sentinel Comics RPG is its own superhero universe with a board game and podcast as well. But this features a team made just for the RPG so no familiarity with any lore is needed. Just be excited to play a teenage superhero and jump right in

This game will be great if you like comics, superheroes, shenanigans, cinematic action, and creative roleplaying.

Pregenerated characters provided. 

Rules will be taught, so no preparation is needed, but a rules reference will be provided ahead of time for those who prefer not to go in blind.

"The Myrfolk have been content in the sea for Brine knows how long. We've swum the currents and ridden the streams from the Great Trench to the Boiling Sea. 

Last tide, K'help found a... something. It's covered in strange markings and if we're right in guessing, it was made above the spray, perhaps by the great beasts whose shadows pass over the reef and whose calls sound so much like speech. Wherever it came from and whoever made it. Could this be a new horizon beyond the waves? "
