“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

“Under the Sea” is a Standard One Shot/Playtest session in the Deck system led by Ansel Burch.

"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? "

This game will be great if you like exploration, coming-of-age stories, and underwater civilization stories.

"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?

Play as members of a family as they deal with the legacy of their house and face the darkness they've been quietly ignoring for generations. "

“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.

“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?

“The Rainslick Murders: Episode 3” is a Standard One Shot/ Playtest session of Cards. Led by Ansel Burch

A noir-style game of cat and mouse plays out when those with nothing to lose discover that there's one thing left worth betting on.

The Cloister is less of a neighborhood and more of a hive. People have built the city of today on the ruins of yesterday leaving plenty of the past poking through at the margins. It's an area both protected and excluded from the business of the rest of the city, leaving its denizens to get up to all manner of dealings in the hidden alleys, tunnels, and bridges that defy any attempt at mapping or organization.

This game will be good if you like film noir, fictionalized cities, and playing someone who walks on the dark side.

Being dead leaves a person with a lot of free time. Spending an eternity without good conversation and diverting company would be a terrible pity.

“The Rainslick Murders” is a Standard One Shot/ Playtest session of Cards. Led by Ansel Burch

A noir-style game of cat and mouse plays out when those with nothing to lose discover that there's one thing they'd wager the only thing they've got left to get.

The Cloister is less of a neighborhood and more of a hive. People have built the city of today on the ruins of yesterday leaving plenty of the past poking through at the margins. It's an area both protected and excluded from the business of the rest of the city, leaving its denizens to get up to all manner of dealings in the hidden alleys, tunnels, and bridges that defy any attempt at mapping or organization.

This game will be good if you like film noir, fictionalized cities, and playing someone who walks on the dark side.

“Raptor Peak: Velvet Hands for Dragonscale Gloves” a West Marches (Roughly Connected) session in the Mavericks system. Led by Ansel Burch

Some say that Raptor Peak represents the edge of the known world. And looking north from the frostbitten crag would certainly encourage that impression for most. So, having a visitor from the distant north, beyond the distant horizon would be enough cause for excitement without her also carrying a demanding message from the distant city of dragons.

This game will be great if you like lighthearted fantasy, creative problem-solving, and playtesting new systems.

Lots of places have a west and our world is no different. The people of the continent may have a peaceful coexistence but the people who society has no room for or who have no room for society.

Raptor Peak is an idyllic tourist destination, far to the north and notably distant from most population centers. It's attracted thrill seekers, rich vacationers, and ne'er do wells alike. What better place to make some friends or raise a family?

A seemingly normal trip to the beach escalates to an all-out melee as it turns out every single sunbather is a world-class assassin.

This slapstick rollercoaster will be a great time if you like wild swings of success, madcap storytelling, and very little forward momentum

Fer' them what hain't aware, that's the tallest lookout in all the western territories. Naturally, everyone and their pappy wants a piece of it.

"Your character can be anything, the story is what you make, and how things unfold is between you and fate. Your character sheet is an ever-evolving deck of cards, marked with the story of your deeds and abilities.

Mavericks is a new RPG in development and you can be among the first to try it out. This session will be an overview of the rules and a chance to build a character for use in a future game. Games are being offered throughout TTRPG pickup Con and will be offered monthly for the rest of the year.

Ansel hopes for the release of this game by GenCon this year.

This game will be great if you like new games, cards, story first RP We will build characters in session.
