“The Fruitcake of Justice” is a Standard One Shot in the Masks system. Led by Ansel Burch

"Charged with simultaneously protecting and (carefully) endangering Halcyon City's heroes in training, there are many ways that the Juvenile Justice Team deploys costumed assets under the age of majority. Not all of them are glorious. 


Maude Marvel is better known as her heroic alter ego, Chief Chef.She was an incredibly niche superhero in the 70's who fought crime using the French method which requires precise skills and a lot of butter. Now she's more of a curiosity with 60 years of history stored in her brain. Spending a week with her has become something of a rite of passage for young heroes when crime fighting gets a little thin over the winter holidays.


Will our heroes be able to help an octogenarian make a fruit cake? Will it teach them about teamwork and Aegis history? Can they keep from going absolutely feral with minimal supervision?"


This game will be great if you like comic books, Superhero movies, emotional damage, and working as a team despite your teenage tendencies.

Players should build characters ahead.

This session will be especially good for new players.

“A Winter Together” is a Standard One Shot in the Deck system. Led by Ansel Burch

The pirate ship, The Cauldron is grounded on a big rock just off the coast of Ouness, a small and remote island on the Northern end of the archipelago. The locals seem slow to trust but like it or not, you're stuck together until the weather clears in the spring. The sailors bring with them stories of the wide world and gifts from the edges of believability. The colonists offer a perspective that the sailors might just want to consider and a shelter from the weather to come. 

This game will be great if you like stories of communities on the edge and people finding common ground despite conflicting interests.

The game runner will provide characters.

“Uncle Bilbo's Things” is a Standard One Shot/ Playtest session in The Travelling Appraisals Show system. Led by Ansel Burch

Every city in Middle Earth has treasures. For the past 30 years it's been the distinct pleasure of the Travelling Appraisers to get a glimpse of the truly wonderous items that are hiding in the attics and cupboards from the Eriador to Belfalas. This week, we find ourselves in the the Shire town of Hobbiton where the heirs of an eccentric collector are looking to get a valuation on some truly exceptional pieces.

This game will be good for you if you like comfort watching PBS and playing poker incorrectly

We will build characters in session.

“Port Perilous” is a Standard One Shot/ Playtest session in the Deck system. Led by Ansel Burch

Port perilous has long been the provenance of pirates as it is the last island before the vast Open Sea takes ownership of the horizon. Sailing towards the morning Sun from point perilous means going into the unknown with no promise of ever returning. By that same token, Port Perilous is the first place where anything from the wide sea will interact with the known world. This game will be great if you like pirate stories, and RP heavy combat.

Bare Bears Bearing Berets is a Standard One Shot in the Honey Heist system. Led by Ansel Burch

"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.  

This game will be great if you like Bears, silliness, puns, and thorough suspension of disbelief We will build characters in session.

"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? "

“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 Richards family have worked the land in this valley since Haywood Richards walked away from the sea with an oar on his shoulder. They've survived 200 years of history in their stately home where a time capsule has waited for November 22, 1918. What waits in the box for the remaining scions of the line and will it explain any of the strange things that have happened on the farmstead over the centuries?

“Four Skeletons Walk Into A Bar” a Standard One Shot using the Numbskulls one page RPG. Led by Ansel Burch

The Necromancer is looking for love and wants to meet someone ""The Old Fashioned Way"" so it's up to you to make sure he finds a human who is willing to go home tonight and preferably one that won't be freaked out by the laboratory's cobweb and body parts forward decoration scheme.

From the game designer, "You and your Skeleton Crew are the minions of the great and powerful Necromancer! Your duty is to fulfill their wishes to the best of your ability, the only problem is Necromancy is forbidden, so you must pretend to be human while out in public spaces."

This game will be good if you like Young Frankenstein, Silliness, Resurrectionists, and bone puns.

“Put to Rest” a standard one shot game in the Avatar Legends system. Led by Ansel Burch.

The history of Royal Caldera city frequently leaves out the Battle of the Ancestors. Those records which can be found speak of the second wave, brought about by warlord Shu and his army of opportunists. Shu’s family was well connected and useful in the reunification following the final battle ensuring that his deeds were relegated to the footnotes of history, easily swept away by the arrival of Avatar Szeto. The heroes who stopped him are no less revered. Their statues gleam in the sun and have inspired generations, even if their plaques read vaguely and the names are unfamiliar. Is one of those statues secretly of you?

This game will be good if you like Avatar, zombies, and stories of young heroes.

The Game Runner will provide pre made characters.

“Bend the Will” a standard one shot game in the Avatar Legends system. Led by Ansel Burch.

The history of Royal Caldera city frequently leaves out the Battle of the Ancestors. The first wave of undead were stopped but the heroes who made the day had gone missing. Court records show that a private meeting was held with these benders when they finally re-surfaced and many Fire Sages have since debated on the nature of the spirit world they claim to have visited and how it differs from the one known to the Avatars and people of the spirit wilds. Are you one of the few who know these stories firsthand?

“Unbalance” a standard one shot game in the Avatar Legends system. Led by Ansel Burch.

The history of Royal Caldera city frequently leaves out the Battle of the Ancestors. The fire nation had fractured and lost all sense of itself as warring factions tore apart the land and its people seeking control of resources and survival. Plagues and famine had devastated the previously stong bonds shared by fire benders and their people. This unbalance manifested finally in the rising of the ancestors as zombies, sweeping across the cities and plains of the fire nation some even retaining their ability to bend. Will you be among the heroes to save the nation and help restore it to unity?

This game will be good if you like Avatar, zombies, and stories of young heroes.
