A game using the Goblin Quest rules, led by John Keefe.

Goblinsburg is a small town of goblins nestled in a cozy volcano. It's a miracle the place has survived, given how incompetent goblins are at, uh, everything. It's going to be a busy week - a festival, a feast, an attack by an army of """"heroes"""". It's up to you and your little clutch of gobs to choose how to spend your day, whether it's completing a personal project, preparing for doom, or just slacking off. A note of warning - goblins have an amazing habit of dying during mundane tasks. Don't expect everyone to survive.

A game in Fria Ligan's Alien RPG rules led by Darran Sims.

‘All That Glitters is Gold’ Alien RPG For up to six players. Newbies welcome! The job would be a cinch, a simple box bust on a floating palace baron stuck in a jam. Ringers onboard have thrown a spanner in the works. Once they douse the glim, we bolt in offering gall gab as we grift our way in. Togged up as grease-monkeys to fix their gears they’ll welcome us in. There’s no gitters or feds to nix the keister so we can oil open the box. The haul wouldn’t be chicken feed either, it will be a cushy number of props. We secure the derby, scoot it out on The Betty, and meet up for the slaughter for our split. You savvy?

The Village Rotary of Raptor's Peak has long managed to maintain an outward appearance of manicured and managed danger, just enough to give tourists some excitement without endangering their lives. That was before. There's no way to keep this one under wraps. Small poisonous creatures have begun infiltrating the city from the forests. They mostly come out at night and all anyone knows is that they glow in the dark. The call has gone out for heroes to find a way to stop these creatures before they kill the whole town or this year's Dragon Festival.
