“The Sunken Lampooned” a Standard One Shot in the Beakwood Bay system. Led by Nona de Koning

“The Sunken Lampooned” a Standard One Shot in the Beakwood Bay system. Led by Nona de Koning

<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>

New-money billionaire Silas Pepperbeek has had just about enough of trying to ingratiate himself in Beakwood Bay society. But he has a plan that will make him a fortune and get him in good with the other oligarchs! He decides to sent the Mallards off to uncover the remains of the recently sunk so-called unsinkable freighter, the Lampooned, hoping to find the Shining Beak, a stunningly-detailed diamond bust of the legendary Morganna le Duck. The ship went down while crossing the North Atlantic, supposedly striking an iceberg and sinking in inhospitable frigid waters. He offers to pay handsomely if the Mallards recover it."

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

Players should build characters ahead.

New characters (this system has no levels) Character creation is a really quick multiple-choice process. The game runner will contact players in advance to share handouts (rules reference & character sheets) and make your selections.

New players are welcome., Players need to have played some RPGs.

“Whiskercliff Cemetery” is a Standard One Shot in the Mausritter system. Led by Nona de Koning


"<b><u>Session pitch - Whiskercliff Cemetery:</u></b>

A cemetery sits perched on the edge of a cliff, smothered by an ominous mist. A haunted crypt stands alone. The undead crypt keeper roams the graveyard fiercely guarding those buried within. What has drawn adventurers to this foreboding place? Do they seek treasure? Will they rescue the souls trapped in this mortal realm? What dangers will they uncover? Play to find out!


<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 who 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 spooky season, Redwall, The Rescuers, The Hobbit, Over The Hedge, Thumbelina, OSR style RPGs

We will build level 1 characters in session.

Character creation is lightning quick and involves just a few random rolls. We'll do this together at the start of the session. If you've played Mausritter before and want to bring an existing character, contact me upfront to discuss.

“Stonespire Marsh” a Standard One Shot in the Mausritter system. Led by Nona de Koning

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!

“Escape from Dino Island” a Standard One Shot in the PbtA (Powered by the Apocalypse) system. Led by Nona de Koning.

"Escape from Dino Island is a thrilling adventure game in the style of Jurassic Park. 

It's about intrepid heroes trapped on an island overrun with creatures from a lost age—dinosaurs! It uses the PbtA (Powered by the Apocalypse) system and is specifically designed for oneshots. 


Players take on the role of everyday people who are brave and competent, but also in over their head. The game is designed to help you create the kind of stories that are full of action and suspense, but in which fighting is rarely a good option. Pick from several Archetypes you'd expect in a Jurassic Park style game, like the Paleontologist, the Hunter, the Kid and several others!

Stuck on the island with danger and dinosaurs everywhere, will you escape with your life? And what kind of person will you become in your quest to survive? There’s only one way to find out…"

This game will be great if you like Jurassic Park, dinosaurs, exploration, adventure, survival

Players should build characters ahead.

We will build characters in the session.

Players can pick their Archetype playbooks ahead of time in a Discord thread set up by the GM a day or two in advance.

“A Dark Corner of the Firehouse” a Just-For-Fun Homebrew One Shot in the Pawgone System a Homebrew Rules-Lite Future FMB. Led by Gary R. Hallert

No copy of the rules, but character creation is simple: pick an animal that's been uplifted, pick a human society they've copied badly, split 5 points between Faith and Truth. Truth grants secrets of the setting and minor extra rules. Faith works as a pool of points you spend to influence NPCs. You'll roll percentage dice and take consequences after the roll to reach target numbers. There's a GM.

A diverse group of mutant talking animals who live in Humanity-worshipping high-tech domes meet each other when they uncover the heretical secret maintenance tunnels that connect the vastly different societies to one another. What will they do when they discover the true danger that threatens this entire futuristic zoo?

This game will be great ig you like light-hearted takes on dystopian futures, characters from different "Hollywood History" societies bumping heads, exploring futuristic ruins, unlocking dystopian secrets, rules-lite games, minor hidden rules, and succeeding at a cost.

We will build characters in the session.

This game is for beginners, rules will be taught

“Mausritter: Stragglers” a Standard One Shot in the Mausritter system. Led by Nona de Koning

Years ago, workers tunneled and toiled and extracted near-endless hauls of valuable ores from the mine. Further surveys were made, and plans were drafted for more and more tunnels through the earth. Equipment failed. Workers went unpaid. Mice went missing. Weeks of quota vanished without a trace. Now, the mine lies dormant. Deed-holders cast blame about sabotage. Rumours circulate of poisonous gasses and mice gone mad. Interlopers rummage around in the remains. A former mining town dwindles into obscurity. And in the deep wound of the earth, writhing in slag and runoff, something slithers, crawls, then steps upward... Is your mouse brave enough for this adventure? Come join us!

This game will be great if you like Redwall, The Rescuers, The Hobbit, Over The Hedge, Thumbelina, and OSR style RPGs

“Mausritter: Brave Mice In A Dangerous World” a standard One Shot in the Mausritter system. Led by Nona de Koning.

The mouse kingdoms survive on the edge of collapse. A harsh winter or heartless cat could spell the end for all. The settled mice huddle together, hidden in their settlements in trees and burrows and walls, scraping and saving. A tenuous existence.

But 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.

https://www.indecisionist.com/ttrpg-pickup-con-game-runners/Nona-de-Koning

"Pokeymanz is a TTRPG in the Pokémon setting using a hack of the Savage Worlds system. Battles follow the cinematic style of the anime more so than videogame stats. Moves must be roleplayed out and player creativity is highly encouraged! Using a dice step system with exploding dice, encounters will stay tense until the very end :D You do not need to be familiar with the system, but you should be enthusiastic about Pokémon (no need for a lot of knowledge) and like the idea of coming up with creative descriptions during combat.

For this introductory one shot, your Trainers will take part in the well known Bug-Catching Contest. Using just one starter Pokémon, can you catch the best one before fainting or running out of Sport Balls? If they make swift work of the competition, they can compete in a follow-up Contest in the nearby arena using their newly caught Pokémon! "

This game will be great if you like Pokémon, Digimon etc, creative roleplay, cinematic combat, Savage Worlds

The game runner will provide beginner level characters. Players can pick from several starter Pokémon upfront as well as customize their Trainer

The GM will offer several choices of starter Pokémon and trainer types.

Those few folk that enter the storm return raving about the living dead, a haunting spectre made entirely of lightning, and the mad lightning wizard behind it all.

Lately, the dead have grown more bold, attacking and dragging travelers deep within the transformer. Are your mice brave enough to weather the Everstorm and stop the living dead?"

The mouse kingdoms survive on the edge of collapse. A harsh winter or heartless cat could spell the end for all. The settled mice huddle together, hidden in their settlements in trees and burrows and walls, scraping and saving. A tenuous existence.

But 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

We will build level 1 characters in session.

Character creation is lightning quick and involves just a few random rolls. We'll do this together at the start of the session. If you've played Mausritter before and want to bring an existing character, contact me upfront to discuss.

This session will be especially good for new players.

The game runner is very familiar with this system.

“The Big Score” a Standard One Shot in the Crash Pandas system. Led by Collin R.

Get caught up in the lucrative (and highly illegal) Los Angeles street racing circuit and win big! Also, you're a bunch of raccoons. Driving the same car. While you may not ascribe intrinsic value to the "paper" that humans call money, it's certainly useful for getting things you want from them. And a local human happens to be selling off their junkyard full of valuable garbage for a fee that only an illegal street racing raccoon could hope to afford.

This game will be great if you like Wacky Races, animals acting like people, making Los Angeles even more dangerous for pedestrians, and general lighthearted chaos

There aren't enough scritches to go around and Cathanos won't stand for it. Something must be done and he's the only cat with the kibbles to do something about it.

Can the Meowvengers stop him in time or will this be the endgame? This game will be great if you like silliness, animals that think they're people, cats.

“Mausritter: Shattered Rain” a Standard One Shot in the Mausritter system. Led by Nona de Koning

As long as any mouse can remember, the Everstorm has raged. Torrential downpours, stiff winds, and the crackle of lightning and thunder engulf the area around a half-buried abandoned power transformer.

Those few folk that enter the storm return raving about the living dead, a haunting spectre made entirely of lightning and the mad lightning wizard behind it all.

Lately, the dead have grown more bold, attacking and dragging travelers deep within the transformer. Are your mice brave enough to weather the Everstorm and stop the living dead?

While in the forest, the mice spot an infamous oak. This garry oak was once home to a powerful wizard named Illeschix. He performed arcane research within and served the needs of the small woodland folk who lived in the meadows, mostly through acorn-based magic. Years ago during a rainstorm, lightning struck the tree, breaking its largest branch and briefly setting the trunk on fire. After that, the wizard stopped leaving the tower at all. These days, people who get too close have a tendency to mysteriously disappear...

Mausritter: The Flood Priest's Garden

A Standard One Shot in the Mausritter system. Led by Nona de Koning

In a garden, once used as a holy site by members of the Order of the Green Mice, sits a pond and a large apple tree, as well as a dark secret. From the depths of the pond, a catfish has seduced a wizened mouse mage into doing his dark bidding. High atop his tower in the apple tree, the Flood Priest uses magic from the deep to flood all of the garden and turn it into the realm of the catfish. Strange creatures have emerged from the water and the mice of Terra-Potta are fleeing the garden in droves. Rumors have been stirring that the end is near, and all will soon become the Flood Priest's Garden. You are among the few who refuse to flee. There must be a way for the catfish to be taken down or the flood priest to be stopped, perhaps after making proper alliances. Whatever you do, do it soon before the flood consumes all.

"Brineford is a small settlement on the shore of a saltwater pond known as the Brackish Basin. Its inhabitants have built their buildings from river stones, woven reeds, and mud under the protective umbrella of a small cascade of water that feeds the pond from the freshwater Goldenfork river.

When a group of beavers build a dam upstream, however, the protective waterfall and the pond dry out, along with Brineford’s livelihood. As the citizens of Brineford try to negotiate with the beavers to restore the river, they discover something else: an ancient stone door at the bottom of the drained pond. What can be inside, and does it hold the secret of the saltwater? It's up to your group of brave adventurers to venture inside and find out!"
