"After surviving a crash landing in the jungle, a daring archaeologist sets out to retrieve a legendary treasure. Are you ready to enter? [Y/N]

Come play this party game parlor-style RPG that's a love letter to the old text-based computer adventures! With all the laughs, frustrated groans, and story paths that you remember :D Can you find your way through this Jungle Adventure? You only have 90 minutes to make it out alive! Relive the glory days of floppy disks, dot-matrix printers, and 128K RAM with this collection of party games inspired by the text adventures of the 1980s.

Before the first 3D video game came out, all video games were text-based adventures. These were simple scenarios with limited interactions. The player would type their actions into the game, and if it was a valid command, the game would respond with new content.

Players will take control of a character together and the GM will play as the parser and control the computer processing your commands. Players will alternate giving commands like GO NORTH, LIGHT LAMP or GET SWORD, which the GM will follow to the best of the imaginary computer's ability. There’s no limit to the number of people that can play and no limit to the fun. So what are you waiting for? It’s time to unplug from your computer and plug into Parsely! Don't forget to hit SAVE and be mindful, because 3 deaths mean GAME OVER! ;-) "

Years ago, workers tunneled and toiled and extracted near-endless hauls of valuable ores from the mine. Further surveys were made, and plans were drafted for more and more tunnels through the earth. Equipment failed. Workers went unpaid. Mice went missing. Weeks of quota vanished without a trace. Now, the mine lies dormant. Deed-holders cast blame about sabotage. Rumours circulate of poisonous gasses and mice gone mad. Interlopers rummage around in the remains. A former mining town dwindles into obscurity. And in the deep wound of the earth, writhing in slag and runoff, something slithers, crawls, then steps upward... Is your mouse brave enough for this adventure? Come join us!

“Put to Rest” a standard one shot game in the Avatar Legends system. Led by Ansel Burch.

The history of Royal Caldera city frequently leaves out the Battle of the Ancestors. Those records which can be found speak of the second wave, brought about by warlord Shu and his army of opportunists. Shu’s family was well connected and useful in the reunification following the final battle ensuring that his deeds were relegated to the footnotes of history, easily swept away by the arrival of Avatar Szeto. The heroes who stopped him are no less revered. Their statues gleam in the sun and have inspired generations, even if their plaques read vaguely and the names are unfamiliar. Is one of those statues secretly of you?

This game will be good if you like Avatar, zombies, and stories of young heroes.

The history of Royal Caldera city frequently leaves out the Battle of the Ancestors. The first wave of undead were stopped but the heroes who made the day had gone missing. Court records show that a private meeting was held with these benders when they finally re-surfaced and many Fire Sages have since debated on the nature of the spirit world they claim to have visited and how it differs from the one known to the Avatars and people of the spirit wilds. Are you one of the few who know these stories firsthand?

“Unbalance” a standard one shot game in the Avatar Legends system. Led by Ansel Burch.

The history of Royal Caldera city frequently leaves out the Battle of the Ancestors. The fire nation had fractured and lost all sense of itself as warring factions tore apart the land and its people seeking control of resources and survival. Plagues and famine had devastated the previously stong bonds shared by fire benders and their people. This unbalance manifested finally in the rising of the ancestors as zombies, sweeping across the cities and plains of the fire nation some even retaining their ability to bend. Will you be among the heroes to save the nation and help restore it to unity?

Well past the outside of town, at the edge of a still lake and the foot of the Obsidian Mountains, lies the manor of Count Võn Dragȗül. Your small town has long dwelt in the shadow of this mysterious nobleman, but little is known about him. So it was all the more shocking to find his wanted ad pinned to the door of the tavern this morning,

“Seeking to hire an enterprising group of mercenaries to rid my ancestral home of a malicious ghostly presence. Payment will be made in land or gold, as you desire. Please report to the front door of my home just after sunset. Those of religious affiliation need not apply.”

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.

New players are welcome.

The Cerritos boldly goes where.... a few people have gone before, but defiantly not many. And they sure do boldly go. As members of the Lower Decks crew, you've seen your share of wacky space nonsense. But surely nothing ridiculous will happen on this little away mission. Surely.

This game will be great if you like Star Trek, Star Trek Lower Decks, or the general idea of exploring space

We will build characters in session.

Please have an idea of who you would like to play (their name, their role in Star Fleet, sketchy backstory etc.) and we'll create their stats at the start of the session.

This session will be especially good for new players.

New players are welcome. The game runner has run this game a few times now.

Your down-and-out XCrawl Team has one more chance to stay in the Premiere XCrawl League and all hope rides on the race for the Soul Gem, a legendary artifact of great power. Will you gather the four parts of a key to gain entrance to the Ghost Tower and retrieve the Soul Gem? Win and your team gains untold notoriety. Lose...and it’s relegation for your team.

This game will be great if you like Old-School Adventures, Puzzles, and XCrawl tomfoolery.

The game runner will provide level 6 characters. There are pregens provided, but you are free to create any standard character ahead of time. Purple Sorcerer is a great way to generate a character.
