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.

“The Doom That Walked to Shküllheim” is a Standard One Shot in the Dungeon Crawl Classics system. Led by Yorkus Rex

For centuries, the great colossus sat silently brooding on its mountain throne partially covered by landslides of earth and rock.  The Stone Priests claimed their power alone kept the Great Destroyer from rising from its stony slumber and annihilating the city.  With the recent murder of the order’s high priest, the colossus has risen and begun a slow walk towards the city.  The dead are rising from their graves.  Storms roll wild over the plains. Panic grips the populace as many flee. Will your party of reavers and cutthroats be able to unlock the mystery of the approaching colossus and SAVE THE CITY?  Also: get paid fat loot!

Stonespire Marsh, named for the eponymous boulder at its center, is home to reclusive, sun-basking lizards. One day, amidst the muck and mud, they uncovered an entrance to the Stonespire itself, and their demeanor changed. They opened their island, speaking to visitors about a ""Second Sun.” They promise sanctuary and shelter the lost and needy, ""The Second Sun brings warmth and prosperity to all it shines upon."" However, pilgrims that enter the Stonespire never seem to leave again. What are High Priest Zon and the lizard cult up to? It's time for your brave mice to crawl beyond the stone and investigate what's really going on in Stonespire Marsh! 

<b><u>About Mausritter:</u></b>

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 that 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 Redwall, The Rescuers, The Hobbit, Over The Hedge, Thumbelina, OSR style RPGs

For the city to survive, it must move. Hammer of the Earth is an adventure game about humans who worship the last machine in a world ruled by vines. You are Outriders, individuals who ensure the fuel supply for Hammer. It's the last bastion of civilization in the form of a gargantuan train, each carriage housing ten thousand souls, navigating an endless network of tracks. If the train stops, they are all doomed. The Navigator (GM) picked you from your various factions to keep the train moving. Presented with a limited clock and numerous obstacles, can you get back in time? Success or failure, you must all work together, even if in the end only one of you is held responsible for the outcome... Hammer of the Earth is part of The Ultimate Micro-RPG Book, an anthology of 2-page games. This means it's very rules-light and very easy to learn, but players should be comfortable using their own imagination without many rules to hold on to. This game will be great if you like rules-light adventures, countdown clocks, an impending sense of doom and trying desperately to be the hero when everything seems to be against you.

City of Mist is a noir mystery game that takes place in a modern city where legends are real people. Heroes, tricksters, and monsters are reborn inside ordinary people, regular Joes and Janes, who gain supernatural powers connected to their legendary alter-egos. The mystical veil of the Mist hides these miraculous powers from the other, sleepwalking residents of the City. It makes armor look like a flak vest and fire breathing like a cheap party trick or a gas leak explosion, so no-one ever knows about the legendary. Player characters in City of Mist are ordinary people in whom a legend has awakened. You play a unique combination of a real-life persona and a legendary Mythos, from a street-cleaner with the powers of the Monkey King to a fashion tycoon who is the incarnation of Aphrodite. Your life is a game of balance between magic and normality. Together with your ragtag crew of Rifts, you will hit the dark streets to uncover the insidious forces at play in your City and solve various mysteries. This time you'll try to solve a case called V is for Going Viral, a clever reference to both the presence of social media and an actual virus. A new infectious evil is operating in the City, using innocent civilians to spread itself. As more and more university students go missing, can you find the cause and put a stop to it once and for all? 

This game will be great if you like solving mysteries, balancing normality and having powers, PbtA or Fate.

Any journey can become a legend! Make up your own campfire story, myth or fairytale in Mythology. It's a GMless storytelling game where everyone collaborates to tell a new tale inspired by the images on a whimsical deck of tarot cards. Players make up their characters by mixing several cards, then take turns drawing cards to set up the initiating event and obstacles for other players to tackle. Together everyone will weave the story of a new legend and discover how the city got saved! No knowledge of tarot cards is needed and we'll use a non-traditional deck of images to inspire us. Mythology is part of The Ultimate Micro-RPG Book, an anthology of 2-page games. This means it's very rules-light and very easy to learn, but players should be comfortable using their own imagination without many rules to hold on to. This game will be great if you like collaborative storytelling, mythology, legends, fairytales, interpreting images and/or tarot.

Spectaculars is a game of comic book heroes and villains in its own entirely new comic book universe using a rules-light percentile % system. However, this universe is not predetermined, it takes more a "legacy board game"/living world approach. You start with knowing just a few basics and creating just a few characters. As more sessions are played, the setting will grow and change and become filled with memorable heroes, engaging villains, and stories of the clash between them. It's perfectly suitable for oneshots, but if you return to the game, you may see old locations and characters reappear. It's a living world, so what happens in a session can affect the universe we play in. Things like your reputation with the public, media and government are shared between games as well. Come play in our city just once or come back time and time again, the choice is yours! Today's adventure takes place in the Explorers of the Unknown branch of our comic book universe. This branch is themed around super science, exploration, and incredible threats of inhuman proportions. It hearkens back to silver age stories of astronaut families, inventors, mad scientists, alien invasions, and artifacts of unknowable science and incredible power. Join a team of Prodigies and come save the day! Your team is full of the brightest and boldest minds, heroes who showed great promise in making their mark on the world even before they gained their powers. Examples from popular comics include the Avengers® (Marvel) and the Justice League of America® (DC). When a band of evil minions invades a government building, taking hostages and setting up strange devices, everything points to the first steps of a villainous plan being set into motion. Can you save the city?

Perils & Princesses is a game of gritty & pretty fairy tale adventure. Steel your resolve, gather your grace and sharpen your wits, and you might just live…Happily Ever After. 

Play as Princesses who don't need saving, they'll be their own heroes! With magical Gifts from their Fairy Godmothers to aid them in their quest through the enchanted forest, they set out. With bright sword in hand, they faced threats and saved the realm time and time again. Can they do it once more? Once upon a time, there was a Princess named Elysia, who ruled over the humble village of Willowbrook nestled amidst the lush embrace of the forest. The villagers of Willowbrook revered Princess Elysia. She was their guardian. Her Rosewood Crown, a gift from her Fairy Godmother, gave her the ability to channel the powers of nature and protect the villagers from harm. But even in the most enchanting of tales, darkness has a way of slithering into the hearts of the unsuspecting. A cruel conjurer, Velesar, preyed upon the Princess's kindness. He stole the Princess's crown for his own nefarious purposes and broke her heart. Vanishing into the depths of the forest, the sorcerer left no trace behind, leaving the Princess bereft, her heart heavy with sorrow. Ages passed, and the crown was forgotten. The only relic of Princess Elysia is a moss-covered statue in the town square, with Elysia's mournful likeness carved in stone. A Princess without a crown. Recently, strange occurrences have been frightening the villagers. Crops suddenly rot. Groups of deer and rabbits flee the nearby forest. Reports of strange sounds and mysterious disappearances put everyone on edge. Furthermore, each of you has plagued by the same dream—you see visions of Princess Elysia beckoning you to a giant tree in a clearing deep in the forest. It's time to find the Rosewood Crown.

"Far away on the island of Faelos, lies a forest under the watchful eye of the Warden of the Woods. This fearsome creature is a giant made of twisted branches and thorns, burning with a heatless flame from within, it stalks the forest in an endless, pacing circle. 

Traversing the forest is dangerous, but if you can make it to the center, legend says there lies a fountain of the purest water that can cure any disease. Your party has been hired to bring back this water at the request of an ailing elven man.

"Honey Heist is a surprisingly successful one-page RPG. Here is the plot:

1) You have a complex plan that requires precise timing.

2) You are a GODDAMN BEAR.

That's largely it. It's easy to run and easy to play, and there's a D8 table for hats but this time you'll all be wearing berets. They can be green if you want.

<b><u>About the game system:</u></b>

Beakwood Bay is a PbtA/Carved from Brindlewood roleplaying game for 2-4 ducks and a Keeper (GM), but not just any ducks. Inspired by Donald Duck and Uncle Scrooge comics, in this hack of Brindlewood Bay you play as bipedal Mallards hired to hunt down treasure instead of solving mysteries. Beakwood Bay is a thriving port city inhabited by all sorts of anthropomorphic animals, where anything can happen and adventure is always on the agenda. The city’s aesthetics are rooted in the early 20th Century, but there are all manner of scientific advancements, such as an experimental rocketpad, a bustling university, and many factories. The oligarchs who control these technology-focused businesses often act as patrons for working ducks and adventurous mallards. No one comes to Beakwood Bay without a plan of how to leave richer. But there’s a curse that comes with this pursuit and many fall victim to the so-called Coin Fever. Ducks who are sitting on vaults of gold are frequently cruel and miserly in later years, pushing away family and friends to slavishly protect the gold they’ve acquired. 

But for now, you are just a Middle Class Mallard who dreams of adventure with your friends. Your ducks work in service of the city’s wealthy benefactors, trying to make a fortune to call their own all while working to avoid the crippling greed and exploitation that is rampant among the city’s elite. Hindered by NPCs after the same treasure, players do their best to gather clues (represented as helpful information and tools that can be used to recover the treasure) before finally trying to retrieve it. There is no prewritten canon path or method, instead it's up to you to cleverly combine all that you've found to obtain the treasure! Will you succeed? Play to find out!

<b><u>Session pitch:</u></b>

Not a sound has been heard from Frederick Foie’s Fanciful Factory for more than three decades. The conveyor belts haven’t moved, not a spot of smoke has come from the chimneys, and no truck packed with candy has left the loading dock. The factory loomed over Beakwood Bay for nearly forty years when the eponymous candy maker and his assistant, a young duck named Quincy Quackling, left the building behind in pursuit of something they couldn’t find in their whimsical factory. Ever since, the building has been abandoned and a subject of enduring fascination for nearly every duck in Beakwood Bay. While many have tried to recreate the lost sweets, no one has come close to making any “Never Melt Sticky Stacky”. Rumor has it the lost recipe can still be found at the factory... Come find out if your Mallards can succeed in this adventure inspired by Charlie & The Chocolate Factory and Willy Wonka!

This game will be great if you like Ducktales, Indiana Jones, cartoons, comic books, Brindlewood Bay, PbtA games, collaborative storytelling

"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.
