“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.

Players should build beginning characters ahead using the guidelines in the system doc, https://the-indecisionist.itch.io/mavericks

New players are welcome.

“Return to Tarjeta Mesa” a West Marches (Roughly Connected) session in the Mavericks system. Led Ansel Burch.

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: Neck Romance” a West Marches (Roughly Connected) session in the Mavericks. Led by Ansel Burch

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?

This game will be great if you like lighthearted fantasy, making fun of consumer culture. Players should build beginning characters ahead.

"Raptor Peak is an idyllic vacation spot, high on a snowy crag and primed for adventure and leisure alike. What only the locals know is that underneath the sanitized safety of this tourist destination is a simmering pot of disasters that must be kept in check for the safety of visitors.

Fate is coming for Raptor Peak in a big way as the nefarious elements in the local counsel make their "

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. Will you and your crew of spur-jangling horse enthusiasts make it there to stake your claim afore any other varmint with a bad attitude and a good head start? Well, that's between you and fate.

This game will be great if you like poorly researched Westerns, non-historical histories, and Westerns that probably aren't in the American West

"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.

Riders of the Cowpoke Nebula

There are few who can brave the great ink long enough to learn to rope stars and fewer yet with the mettle to live with the loneliness of the frontier of heaven. When a group of ropers finds themselves together, no one can tell if they’ll fight like hell or be thick as an oort cloud within the hour. Someone must think it’s worth the risk of a posse to rope a whole star nursery.

Mavericks is a game in which your character sheet is a deck of cards. As you play, the deck will change, your powers will enhance, and your story will become epic. Use this game for any genre for a story-first experience that prioritizes big-picture narrative over blow-by-blow mechanics.

This game will be great if you like poorly researched space Westerns, and non-historical histories

We will build characters in the session.

In this game, a deck of cards represents your character. As they grow and change, so too will the deck itself as you mark cards to build your character's history and abilities.

In this adventure session, we will build characters from scratch using the cards as our guides. Once our characters have been created, we will play through an adventure scenario featuring combat, court intrigue, and an adventure beyond known kingdoms of the world.

You will need a deck of cards that you are okay with ruining completely to play this game. It can be any card deck as long as you are willing to mark the cards.

This game will be great if you like card games and sword & sorcery paperback novels.

We will build characters in the session.

New players are welcome.
