“Life as a reanimated skeleton was simple when the Necromancer was alive.  His orders were clear, tasks were repetitive, and mindless eternal servitude was pleasantly peaceful.  The Necromancer made every contingency to live beyond his death until he foolishly allowed himself to be flung into a fiery sea of molten magma beneath the volcano.  Now life in the Dark Tower is chaotic and disorderly.  Skeletons have abandoned their duties and try to return to a semblance of life through games, dances, and tea parties.  Defenses have fallen and the master’s head of security, a literal severed head, believes adventurers are closing in to loot the Necromancer’s vaults.  With no way to physically force the skeletons to do his bidding, he resorts to playing on the skeletons’ new playfulness to create a game of tower defense.”

This game will be great if you like skeletons engaging in slapstick cartoon violence and warming their bones by the fire.

You have just joined a new family of goblins and want to make yourselves useful. Clearly, the best way to do so is by running errands for your new community: Buying vegetables at the market or procuring the services of a local wizard to get your wise leader unstuck from his chamber pot. Sounds easy, right? Well, unfortunately, you've got to contend with a world built for folk much bigger and stronger than you. And on top of that, you're both easily distracted and full of energy! Clearly a winning combination! Pick from various entertaining Goblin types like the Rascal, the Rambler, the Nibbler or the Whiz-Wart. Play to see how things go wrong, complications mount, and these ordinary, everyday tasks spiral into hilarious (mis)adventures. This game will be great if you like PbtA, goblins, being tiny, creative problem solving, shenanigans. This system is especially great for new players.

“You think you know the stories of Little Red Riding Hood, of Hansel and Gretel, of Snow White and Rapunzel. But what if I told you that actually, their stories were not as simple as you've been told? What if I told you that actually, these stories were much more connected and overlapping, and that, actually, everyone didn't live happily ever after?

Join us as we imagine if Into the Woods had been directed by the Coen Brothers. Can our conflicting cast of evil stepmothers, long-lost siblings, fairy godmothers, and secret lovers manage to achieve their hearts' desires? Or will it all descend into a Fairy Tale Fiasco?"

CW: possible character death

Welcome to Yazeba's Bed & Breakfast, a sprawling old house outside time and space, where it’s always September 15th and there’s always room for a new visitor. The unusual blend of premade characters, modular rules, and legacy mechanics makes this TTRPG perfect for pick-up play: busy players can drop in and out without ever feeling lost, and anyone who wants to jump in can make a long-term impact without a long-term commitment. Yazeba's is yours to change. Perhaps Residents will leave or change, Guests will become far more important than you expected, or Journeys will take unexpected twists. Take control of one of the 7 long-term residents of the B&B or choose from a cast of 50 quirky guests, each of whom has their own ongoing storylines. Chapters can be played in any order and include things like lazy afternoons, frightful nights, insurmountable chores, and zany competitions, so every adventure is full of surprises. When we were little, we were taught that a story is a sequence of events with a beginning, middle and end. But that’s not how all stories work: some loop around on themselves, some are told out of sequence, and some never end. After we play one Chapter, we can play another without worrying too much about whether it came before or after the Chapter we just played, or how much time has passed. Think back on that prolific paperback series you may have once read: you might have missed a few issues, or read them out of order, but you were always able to figure out what was going on. That's what Yazeba's is going for! Chapters are short, so we may play more than one adventure during our session, swapping characters in between! If you've played Yazeba's before, feel free to let your gamerunner know which chapters you've played, so you can try some new ones.

This game will be great if you like more freeform roleplay, a push-and-pull between weaknesses and strengths, a cast of colorful characters, pickup style play, unlocking things, legacy boardgames. New players are welcome. The game runner is very familiar with this system. The game comes with pre-existing characters to pick from.

In Something Tookish, you play as a Halfling in a cozy little village, solving various mysteries. Not everything is a crime and there's nothing as gruesome as murder, oh no, they wouldn't do that! But petty theft or spats between neighbours also require someone to meddle solve them, right? And you're just the Halflings for the job! This game uses the Carved from Brindlewood framework. This means (just like in Brindlewood Bay), there is no canon solution to the mysteries. It's up to the players to come up with a clever way to tie everything together. However, there are plenty of clues to find and plenty of locals to meet! This oneshot is for 2-4 Halflings and will take about 3 hours. Our session pitch: "The village is buzzing with excitement, for the annual baking contest takes place today! Everyone is busy with preparations, for even those who are not entering a baked good into the competition have been pressed into service by someone who is. You arrive very early, only to find a mortified Belinda Sackville, who approaches you in a panic. Can you help find her missing muffin tin? She promised to outdo herself this year and keep up her winning streak!" This game will be great if you like PbtA, cozy mysteries, community, small-town village life, baking, poems, sing-alongs and Carved from Brindlewood, New players welcome.

Monster Care Squad is a non-violent RPG where you play as a member of an elite team of Monster Care Specialists. You work alongside your fellow specialists to investigate trouble, diagnose illnesses, and treat the horrible Wounds inflicted by the False Gold. How you will go about this will largely depend on the Monsters your group decides to treat. Monsters range in scale from titanic megafauna to little bigger than your hand and in damage potential from cataclysmic world enders to mischievous trouble makers. In the world of Ald-Amura, Monsters and Humans live in harmony with one another. Humans care for Monsters, providing food and shelter for them, while Monsters lend their power, magic, and might to humanity. But the peace between Humans and Monsters is now an uneasy one. Monsters are afraid of who might be infecting their kind with the False Gold illness, Humans are afraid of their cities being leveled. Everyone is on eggshells and the beautiful balance that typified Ald-Amura is on the brink of collapse. However, you will find no rules for intentionally inflicting pain on anyone or anything in this game, as the first rule of being a Monster Care Specialist is to Do No Harm. This is a PbtA-style game with three distinct phases of play: Diagnosis (what's wrong and how to treat it), Synthesis (making the right cure) and Symbiosis (applying the actual treatment). We'll go through one entire loop, meeting and treating a single Monster. This game will be great if you like PbtA, playing healers, caring for animals, distinct phases of play. New players are welcome. The game runner will provide pregenerated characters to pick from.

The Broken Cask Society is a GMless RPG for up to 4 players where we venture across the wilds in search of the finest inns of the land! You create your character using various playbooks (archetypes), and trek through a fantasy world as a member of the Broken Cask Society. Some characters may care more about the journey, others are all about the drinks or care mostly about the food. Together our group will ford rivers, scale mountains, and blaze trails to the most famous (and infamous) inns, pubs, taverns, wineries, drinkeries, alehouses, and meaderies in the land. Through the use of random tables we'll find out what happens and create a wonderful, cozy story as we go. Prepare for the journey and travel across the land to explore a new inn. Once there, we'll take some time to feast & judge its offerings, before resting so we can do it all over again next time. This game will be great if you like PbtA, taverns, cozy fantasy stories, collaborative storytelling and random tables. New players are welcome. The game runner is very familiar with this system.

For the city to survive, it must move. Hammer of the Earth is an adventure game about humans who worship the last machine in a world ruled by vines. You are Outriders, individuals who ensure the fuel supply for Hammer. It's the last bastion of civilization in the form of a gargantuan train, each carriage housing ten thousand souls, navigating an endless network of tracks. If the train stops, they are all doomed. The Navigator (GM) picked you from your various factions to keep the train moving. Presented with a limited clock and numerous obstacles, can you get back in time? Success or failure, you must all work together, even if in the end only one of you is held responsible for the outcome... Hammer of the Earth is part of The Ultimate Micro-RPG Book, an anthology of 2-page games. This means it's very rules-light and very easy to learn, but players should be comfortable using their own imagination without many rules to hold on to. This game will be great if you like rules-light adventures, countdown clocks, an impending sense of doom and trying desperately to be the hero when everything seems to be against you.

Any journey can become a legend! Make up your own campfire story, myth or fairytale in Mythology. It's a GMless storytelling game where everyone collaborates to tell a new tale inspired by the images on a whimsical deck of tarot cards. Players make up their characters by mixing several cards, then take turns drawing cards to set up the initiating event and obstacles for other players to tackle. Together everyone will weave the story of a new legend and discover how the city got saved! No knowledge of tarot cards is needed and we'll use a non-traditional deck of images to inspire us. Mythology is part of The Ultimate Micro-RPG Book, an anthology of 2-page games. This means it's very rules-light and very easy to learn, but players should be comfortable using their own imagination without many rules to hold on to.

Perils & Princesses is a game of gritty & pretty fairy tale adventure. Steel your resolve, gather your grace and sharpen your wits, and you might just live…Happily Ever After. 

Play as Princesses who don't need saving, they'll be their own heroes! With magical Gifts from their Fairy Godmothers to aid them in their quest through the enchanted forest, they set out. With bright sword in hand, they faced threats and saved the realm time and time again. Can they do it once more? Once upon a time, there was a Princess named Elysia, who ruled over the humble village of Willowbrook nestled amidst the lush embrace of the forest. The villagers of Willowbrook revered Princess Elysia. She was their guardian. Her Rosewood Crown, a gift from her Fairy Godmother, gave her the ability to channel the powers of nature and protect the villagers from harm. But even in the most enchanting of tales, darkness has a way of slithering into the hearts of the unsuspecting. A cruel conjurer, Velesar, preyed upon the Princess's kindness. He stole the Princess's crown for his own nefarious purposes and broke her heart. Vanishing into the depths of the forest, the sorcerer left no trace behind, leaving the Princess bereft, her heart heavy with sorrow. Ages passed, and the crown was forgotten. The only relic of Princess Elysia is a moss-covered statue in the town square, with Elysia's mournful likeness carved in stone. A Princess without a crown. Recently, strange occurrences have been frightening the villagers. Crops suddenly rot. Groups of deer and rabbits flee the nearby forest. Reports of strange sounds and mysterious disappearances put everyone on edge. Furthermore, each of you has plagued by the same dream—you see visions of Princess Elysia beckoning you to a giant tree in a clearing deep in the forest. It's time to find the Rosewood Crown.

You arrive by happenstance, choice, or against your own will at the town of Hobb's End. A festival is in full swing, a rare sight in the Dying Lands.

Claim your prizes, and perhaps you will get to prove your worth to the Gods Beneath the Hill.

"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? "

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
