“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.
This session will be especially good for new players.

“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.

“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.
We will build characters in the session.
New players are welcome.
