“The Wedding Ring at The Christmas Market” is a Slightly Modified One-Shot in the Unknown Armies 3rd Edition system led by garhallertie.
"Three days ago, PETRA BELLAGAMBA lost her Wedding Ring at the Christmas Market in a town none of you has actually been to. It's a nice town, but it has too big of a market this year. Nothing on the scale of Nuremberg, but it's pretty big.
That might warrant hiring dangerous people to find a small lost object in a huge, shivering crowd on a snow day. But the real reason is that PETRA lost The Wedding Ring, a unique and indestructible object with strange powers.
Not everyone knows about these powers, but the people who do will stop at nothing to get ahold of it before you do.
Also, there's a really good raclette at this one stall you know about. The cheese is incredible.
PLEASE NOTE: This game is set in the Lost Room Universe (a show that came out on the Sci-Fi channel in 2006), not the normal Unknown Armies Universe.
(Unlike a normal Unknown Armies game, you won't be able to start out with an Adept School. If there's an Avatar identity that really fits, maybe.)
Keep in mind that Unknown Armies is a horror game and may delve into uncomfortably adult areas from time to time. We will still start with a quick Lines and Veils just in case!
You'll pretty much be creating your character, defining your group goal, and building their connection to 5 key NPCs (provided by the GM) as you go along."
This game will be great if you like
competing with NPC parties
making up your own version of a holiday event like Christkindlmarkt
disrupting such an event with weirdness, maybe even a gunfight (but you're probably more sensible than that.)
magic Items that look like 1960s kitsch household objects
gaining skill bonuses from mental health changes
A horror world where there are magic objects and humans, but no other monsters
A consequence-based resolution system.
We will build characters in the session.

“A Dark Corner of the Firehouse” a Just-For-Fun Homebrew One Shot in the Pawgone System a Homebrew Rules-Lite Future FMB. Led by Gary R. Hallert
No copy of the rules, but character creation is simple: pick an animal that's been uplifted, pick a human society they've copied badly, split 5 points between Faith and Truth. Truth grants secrets of the setting and minor extra rules. Faith works as a pool of points you spend to influence NPCs. You'll roll percentage dice and take consequences after the roll to reach target numbers. There's a GM.
A diverse group of mutant talking animals who live in Humanity-worshipping high-tech domes meet each other when they uncover the heretical secret maintenance tunnels that connect the vastly different societies to one another. What will they do when they discover the true danger that threatens this entire futuristic zoo?
This game will be great ig you like light-hearted takes on dystopian futures, characters from different "Hollywood History" societies bumping heads, exploring futuristic ruins, unlocking dystopian secrets, rules-lite games, minor hidden rules, and succeeding at a cost.
We will build characters in the session.
This game is for beginners, rules will be taught
We're going to use my discord channel, it has a dice roller bot, and that's all you need
This session will be especially good for new players.
Players will be learning this system together with the game runner.
