The Song of Bell Chapel
The people of the Obsidian Mountains have many stories of what they call the Bell Chapel. Sitting in a remote and dangerous part of the forest, it was said to once be a temple to a Twin Faced God of the Underworld. Hundreds of years ago people would come from far and wide with the remains of their loved ones, so that they might be carefully tended to by the monks and sent to their final rest.
The forest was once filled with the songs of clear ringing bells. But now their god's name is forgotten, and the halls of their monastery stand silent. Until now, when the bells ring out through the forest once again.
In this adventure you’ll play as members of the Red Hand Adventuring League who have been hired to investigate Bell Chapel. Local villagers suspect bandits may be using the old temple as a base of operations but no thefts have been reported yet.
This game will be great if you like Dimension 20, Indian Jones, or the general idea of adventure stories.
The players will need to create characters beforehand.
New players are welcome in this session.

“A Fairy Tale Fiasco” is a Standard One Shot in the Fiasco Classic system. Led by Andy Pymont
“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?"
This game will be great if you like improvised story-telling and plans going spectacularly wrong!

“Trouble on Quarry Street” is a Standard One Shot in the Masks system. Led by Ansel Burch
Sure, Quarry Street is just the road that connects the big church with the reservoir outside town but it's where we live and there's no way we're letting a supervillain scare away the pigeons, mess up Mz Gall's roses, or disrupt the annual art walk downtown.
This game will be great if you like comic books, Superhero movies, emotional damage, and working as a team despite your teenage tendencies.
Players should build characters ahead.

Port perilous has long been the provenance of pirates as it is the last island before the vast Open Sea takes ownership of the horizon.

“Prince Charming, Reanimator” a Standard One Shot in the Dungeon Crawl Classics system. Led by Colm McCarthy.
"In all kingdoms there are tales, and in the Barony of Westlake, it is said that the Grimmswood hides the ruins of a long-lost realm. The daughter of its final king, cursed by a malevolent faerie, pricked her finger on a spindle upon her sixteenth birthday, in the blossom of her youth, and died. With her death, the kingdom went to ruin. Few now dare to go far into the Grimmswood, although the riches of the lost kingdom are said to lie unclaimed within. Fear of dark fey magic and even greater evils keep men out.
Or they did so until now. For Prince Hubert Charming of Westlake has determined that the long-dead Princess Beauty is only cursed to sleep away the aeons, and he will have her for his bride. His men rounded up a stable of “volunteers” at the beginning of one early autumn morning, and here you are, with what makeshift arms and equipment you had upon you when you were “volunteered”.
Your mission, the Prince’s Bailiff explains, is to enter the ruined castle, find the place where the “Sleeping” Beauty lies, and bring her forth for Prince Charming to restore with a kiss. Those who choose not to go upon this quest must take their chances with the Prince’s Guard, twenty men strong, and be declared outlaw. Those who choose to hazard their lives within the ruined castle may keep what they find, apart from the sleeping princess, but dare not leave without her."

"The Queen’s Onyx Jubilee is set to begin, marking the 95th year of the merciful monarch’s glorious reign. While the entire realm celebrates the good fortune of their long-lived sovereign, a group of common villagers fights to stay alive. For them, the festivities have become a nightmare, as the sounds of revelry are replaced by screams of terror – their own!
Imprisoned in opulence, marked for death, hunted by creatures both grotesque and foul. This ragtag group of unsuspecting villagers must band together to brave the vile mysteries that haunt this place and stand defiant in the face of death itself – if they hope to escape the Veiled Vaults of the Onyx Queen and save their very souls!"

Congratulations, citizen! You have been randomly selected for a short bout of Biohazard-Control duty! Report to your local Biohazard-Control Department Chapter for details concerning the Thrilling Adventure of missing-persons retrieval to which you have been assigned." The messenger looks around furtively, and lowers his voice. "You know that dragon what crash-landed yesterday? Word is, there's some kinda rich muckity-muck inside that needs extractin'." He grins toothily, then scampers off before you can muster a reply.

“The Beach Episode” a Standard One Shot in the All Outta Bubblegum system. Led by Ansel Burch
A seemingly normal trip to the beach escalates to an all-out melee as it turns out every single sunbather is a world-class assassin.
This slapstick rollercoaster will be a great time if you like wild swings of success, madcap storytelling, and very little forward momentum

“Annual Dating.sim TV show” a Standard One Shot in the Dating.sim system. Led by Nona de Koning

"Dating.sim is a light-hearted romance roleplaying game inspired by the TV show The Dating Game as well as the “dating simulator” video game genre. Dating simulators are narrative-heavy games where players can date one of multiple eligible characters via choose-your-own-adventure-style conversations. Make the right choices and a character might like you more, make the wrong choices and they might like you less. Dating.sim recreates this structure through competitive roleplaying, with players improvising multiple-choice options for one player to select over the course of a date.
Ever seen a Witch, Knight, and sentient Robot compete for the affection of your kingdom's Princess? In Dating.sim this may very well happen! Play as any type of fantasy character you can imagine. But are you in it for love or do you have an ulterior motive like fame or money? Only you will know...
The game has two parts. In the first, the Lead (GM) asks the Contestants questions and ends up picking their Date. In the second part, everyone collaboratively narrates how the date went. If you gain the most influence, you get to narrate the final result. Will it be true love or a total disaster?"
This game will be great if you like choose-your-own-adventure, improv, Monster Prom and other dating sims, and collaborative storytelling.
We will build characters in the session.
You only need a general character concept, not a fully fleshed-out character.
This session will be especially good for new players. New players are welcome.

“The Rosewood Crown” a Standard One Shot in the Perils & Princesses system. Led by Nona de Koning
"Perils & Princesses is a fantasy role-playing game of gritty and pretty fairy tale adventure. Steel your resolve, gather your grace, and sharpen your wits, and you might just live…Happily Ever After.
Remember that scene in Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs when our hero runs off into the deep dark forest, narrowly avoiding the pitfalls and horrors within? Or when Dorothy Gale throws a bucket of water in the face of the Wicked Witch? This game is all about the humble moments of heart and heroism of storybook princesses.
These adventurers rely on baskets of goodies, trusty hatchets, and their hidden talents to help them on their way. The gifts from their Fairy Godmothers help them call upon woodland animals, sing enchanting songs, or connect with the elements of nature as they dig deep to survive the perils that await them."
