Describe yourself and your play style. “Normally, I balance the pillars of social, exploration and combat. 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.”

Tell us about your favorite NPC to run. “Yeesh... that's a long list. In this adventure? Victoricus Chainface, Concubinator of the Mega-Maiden. ”

“The Gods Beneath the Hill” a Standard One Shot/ Playtest session in the Mork Borg system. Led by Kody Raslawski

You arrive by happenstance, choice, or against your own will at the town of Hobb's End. A festival is in full swing, a rare sight in the Dying Lands. Treats, games, and competitions offered at every corner. There are prizes to the victors, and to the lucky chosen, or the brave volunteers, a chance at something far greater. Claim your prizes, and perhaps you will get to prove your worth to the Gods Beneath the Hill.

This game will be great if you like Morbid humor, dark fantasy, weird fiction, The Witcher, and Gothic horror.

The character generator is fairly self-explanatory. However, if you want to make your own character instead the rules are in the free rulebook linked above.

This session will be especially good for new players.

“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.

Beginner Level ("Street Level" in old UA Parlance) https://www.onarmiesunknown.com/resources/quickstart-ua3-character-concepts-identities/ New players are welcome.

The game runner has run this game a few times now.

This game will be hosted in an outside Discord server. Spectators are welcome in the Discord room.

"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? "

“Ziggurat of the Megaton Maiden” is a Standard One Shot in the Mutant Crawl Classics system led by Christophor - Ophoric Labs

"The Mutation Nation strives to bring the gift of the atom to all. The Doomsday Clock stands at 2 minutes to midnight and they have taken over Nooktun, a massive Ancients facility that once supplied the power of the atom to the region. They are preparing a ritual that will cause a massive detonation of ancient nuclear technology. This will bathe the region in radiation which they believe will allow all to bask in the mutating glow of the Megaton Maiden and become true Children of the Atom. but it may just kill everyone…..

Can you stop them in time?"

This game will be great if you like 90s schlock post-apocalyptic movies, Gamma World, mutants...

“Parsely: Kringle Krisis” is a standard one shot in the Parsely system led by Nona de Koning

It’s the most wonderful time of the year and Jolly Old St. Nick is in a bit of a jam. Explore the North Pole, make some new friends, and give Kringle back his jingle.

Before the first 3D video game came out, all video games were text-based adventures. These were simple scenarios with limited interactions. The player would type their actions into the game, and if it was a valid command, the game would respond with new content.

Players will take control of a character together and the GM will play as the parser and control the computer processing your commands. Players will alternate giving commands like GO NORTH, LIGHT LAMP or GET SWORD, which the GM will follow to the best of the imaginary computer's ability. There’s no limit to the number of people that can play and no limit to the fun. So what are you waiting for? It’s time to unplug from your computer and plug into Parsely! Don't forget to hit SAVE and be mindful, because 3 deaths means GAME OVER! ;-) "

This game will be great if you like choose-your-own-adventure books, 80s computer RPGs, and Super Mario.

Players will control a single nameless player character together as a group

This session will be especially good for new players. New players are welcome.
