“The Holiday Special That Didn't Happen” is a Standard One Shot using the Rebel Scum rules for Polymorph. Led by Ansel Burch
We have to get our dear friend back home in time for Light Day, a very real holiday we've all heard of before. They may come from a planet that is all one biome but their hometown is still tiny and the planet is poorly mapped. We're going to need all of our astrogation and navigation skills to make it in time. Fingers crossed the space fascists don't give us any trouble on the way.
This game will be great if you like Star Wars, road trip comedies, and making fun of the Star Wars holiday Special.
We will use pre-made characters. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0582/8372/0819/files/RebelScum_CrewoftheLastHope.pdf?v=1708710365

They are preparing a ritual that will cause a massive detonation of ancient nuclear technology. This will bathe the region in radiation which they believe will allow all to bask in the mutating glow of the Megaton Maiden and become true Children of the Atom. but it may just kill everyone…..
Can you stop them in time?"

“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.

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.

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

“A Miner Issue” a Standard One Shot in the 24xx - Cosmic Highway system. Led by Collin R.
In the far future, humanity is an emerging spacefaring species. Asteroid mining is a booming (and unregulated) industry, and while hyper-lanes are a young technology they connect most of the major planets and space stations in The Solar System, as well as a few out-of-system routes. You're a crew of small-time cargo haulers, contracted out for a quick job transporting emergency medical supplies to a mining station located in the asteroid belt. What you find there is going to keep you a little longer than just drop-off, though...

"Captain's Log - Stardate 48498.25
We have intercepted an old-style automated distress call from a old Starfleet vessel. Could the descendants of survivors from an ancient shipwreck still be alive somewhere out there, marooned on a strange planet? I wonder. The science officer has traced the signal to its source: an M-class planet. The star system is uncataloged and unique in my experience as it orbits an unstable wormhole. In two days we will arrive and begin our investigation. "

"CAPTAIN’S LOG STARDATE 48311.3
We’ve received a message from Narendra Station that a runabout called the Susquehanna has gone missing in the Carina Nebula, deep within the Shackleton Expanse. The Susquehanna was investigating an unusual alien signal that originated from the nebula when all contact was lost. We have been ordered to enter the nebula, find the runabout, and determine the origin and cause of the alien signal. Starfleet has also advised that Romulan and Ferengi ships have been sighted in the region, so we should exercise caution since they may well have detected the alien signal as well."

“A Surge of Tentacles” a Standard One Shot/ Playtest in the D&D 5th Edition system. Led by John aka Mr. Biscuits
Surge of Tentacles is an adventure for a party consisting of 3-5 third-level characters. They can probably ascend to fourth level upon completing this quest. It's set in The First Gate Lintel District and serves as an introduction to the key area of the world city. A balance of character classes is recommended since the adventurers will face various challenges.
If you like a mystery and roleplay combined with Magical Sci-fi this might be a thing you enjoy.
Players should build level 3 characters ahead.
Any Classes you want from 5th edition D&D,
Use standard Array for stats
New Players are welcome.
The game runner is very familiar with this system.

Cold and Alone
A Standard One Shot in the Starscape - PbtA system, led by RaynorFrejrûn.
"Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship....”
You are crew members aboard a Nova-class science vessel. While surveying a nearby nebula, your ship was hit by an unknown anomaly; the crew was ordered to abandon ship to the planet below. With your crew scattered on this unhospitable planet, can you survive long enough to be rescued? Or will be hunted down before you can escape?
This game will use the beta rules for Starscape, a new PbtA setting. I will be using this to create a Star Trek analog.
This game will be great if you like Star Trek, Mostly the TNG,DS9 and Voyager era.
We will build characters in session. Come prepared with ideas.
This game will be great for new players.

Electric Bastionland
A game of Electric Bastionland led by Adam Mc.
"Bastion... the electric city, the only city that matters. Everything is here. Everything is complicated. Everything is electric. In the Underground, Machines undermine reality. Aliens are here from beneath the living stars. You have a FAILED career. You have COLOSSAL debt. Whatever you were, your debt has forced you to become a treasure hunter. Treasure is your only hope. The expedition will change you. Time to get out into the city and make some money.
OSR style system. Easy enough to pick up as you go along. Simple character creation. Emphasis on teamwork."
This game will be great if you like Bioshock, Brazil, Guillermo DelToro movies, and Mike Mignola comics.
We will build characters in the session. A helpful PDF is available!
New players are welcome.
