“Prince Charming, Reanimator” a Standard One Shot in the Dungeon Crawl Classics system. Led by Colm McCarthy.
"In all kingdoms there are tales, and in the Barony of Westlake, it is said that the Grimmswood hides the ruins of a long-lost realm. The daughter of its final king, cursed by a malevolent faerie, pricked her finger on a spindle upon her sixteenth birthday, in the blossom of her youth, and died. With her death, the kingdom went to ruin. Few now dare to go far into the Grimmswood, although the riches of the lost kingdom are said to lie unclaimed within. Fear of dark fey magic and even greater evils keep men out.
Or they did so until now. For Prince Hubert Charming of Westlake has determined that the long-dead Princess Beauty is only cursed to sleep away the aeons, and he will have her for his bride. His men rounded up a stable of “volunteers” at the beginning of one early autumn morning, and here you are, with what makeshift arms and equipment you had upon you when you were “volunteered”.
Your mission, the Prince’s Bailiff explains, is to enter the ruined castle, find the place where the “Sleeping” Beauty lies, and bring her forth for Prince Charming to restore with a kiss. Those who choose not to go upon this quest must take their chances with the Prince’s Guard, twenty men strong, and be declared outlaw. Those who choose to hazard their lives within the ruined castle may keep what they find, apart from the sleeping princess, but dare not leave without her."

"The Queen’s Onyx Jubilee is set to begin, marking the 95th year of the merciful monarch’s glorious reign. While the entire realm celebrates the good fortune of their long-lived sovereign, a group of common villagers fights to stay alive. For them, the festivities have become a nightmare, as the sounds of revelry are replaced by screams of terror – their own!
Imprisoned in opulence, marked for death, hunted by creatures both grotesque and foul.

Darkest Dungeon Crawl Classics
A game in the Dungeon Crawl Classics system, led by Mihailo Tešić.
The news of the Lord Ancestor's passing has spread fast and wide. His lands, once fecund and populated, are now shrouded in almost perpetual darkness, his rich fields and forests now travesty of unnatural overgrowth, his smallfolk turned to brigands or worse. Stories tell of the dead restless in their graves, of beasts acquiring the faculties of men, and of horrible secrets buried deep underneath the lonely Ancestor's mansion, which still stands there, perched on a ledge overlooking the moors and dark waters of the lake. But stories also tell of Ancestor's incredible magic and his vast treasures, now scattered across his vast holdings - and of an heir who has emerged to reclaim them. And all the stories, news and gossip agree on one point: the heir needs heroes noble, adventurers intrepid or bravos foolhardy enough to venture into the Darkest Dungeons!
This game will be great if you like Darkest Dungeon the video game, and everything it was inspired by.

Headless Harpe - a DCC Shudder Mountains Tale
A game in the Dungeon Crawl Classics system, led by Yorkus Rex
It was a hundred years ago when Horace Harpe, notorious highwayman and road-killer, was brought to violent justice.

Tall tales about the headless ghost of Harpe have haunted the hollows for years but with the recent theft of the skull from its century-old resting place the tales have taken on a deadly truth. It’s up to you and your band of adventuresome knockabouts to lay this vengeful spirit to rest but how do you kill a ghost?

Rat Salad (DCC)
A game using the Dungeon Crawl Classics rules, led by Judge Bob.
The village of Maxxônia has been suffering attacks from mutant rodents that have destroyed crops and threatened the lives of the citizenry. The local militia was overwhelmed in the face of these wicked creatures and the few soldiers that returned alive came told terrible stories about the evil that infects the swamp north of the village, where is believed that the creatures come from. A desperate meeting called for bold volunteers in a desperate effort to save the village. YOU are these volunteers, and they and you will face a dangerous forest and a stinking swamp to get to the root of the problem. Perhaps it has something to do with Vexx, a mysterious elf who vanished into the swamp long ago. Could he be responsible for the danger? It is up to you, the bold villagers, to find out.

A game using the Dungeon Crawl Classics rules, led by Judge Bob.
The village of Maxxônia has been suffering attacks from mutant rodents that have destroyed crops and threatened the lives of the citizenry. The local militia was overwhelmed in the face of these wicked creatures and the few soldiers that returned alive came told terrible stories about the evil that infects the swamp north of the village, where is believed that the creatures come from. A desperate meeting called for bold volunteers in a desperate effort to save the village. YOU are these volunteers, and they and you will face a dangerous forest and a stinking swamp to get to the root of the problem. Perhaps it has something to do with Vexx, a mysterious elf who vanished into the swamp long ago. Could he be responsible for the danger? It is up to you, the bold villagers, to find out.
