“Battle of the Bands” a Standard One Shot in the Sentinel Comics RPG system. Led by Nona de Koning
"Did you ever want to be a superhero? Today's your day! Join the young teenage superheroes known as Team Daybreak 😄 Play as decisive Headlong, ambitious Rockstar, supportive Muse, cosmic Aeon Girl or ghostly Muerto in the Sentinel Comics RPG!
In this system, you creatively combine your superpowers with your ordinary qualities to try and be the best heroes you can be while living up to your principles. The Sentinel Comics RPG uses its own GYRO system, which focuses on quick comic book style action, where teamwork is key and where your hero becomes more powerful as the situation gets more dire and twists get thrown your way!
Our adventure is called Battle of the Bands, where Rockstar has been invited to play as the opening act for a new band called Helfyre. But what is meant to be a fun concert quickly takes a bad turn. Now it's up to team Daybreak to try and save the day! Play to find out if they succeed 😮
Battle of the Bands is a fairly lighthearted scenario, but there are still real things at stake. Being a new team of young inexperienced heroes, victory is not guaranteed! While the Sentinel Comics RPG takes place in the same universe as their matching boardgame, it's an alternate timeline so no familiarity is needed. Being a brand new team, there is no elaborate world lore you'll need, just be excited to play a teenage superhero and jump right in :D
Like all the games I run, I will teach you everything you need to know as we play! For those who prefer reading ahead or reading along when being taught, a short rules reference will also be provided.
This game will be great if you like comics, superheroes, shenanigans, cinematic action, creative roleplaying
The game runner will provide characters.
Pregenerated characters from team Daybreak will be provided to pick from.
This session will be especially good for new players. New players are welcome.
The game runner is very familiar with this system.

There aren't enough scritches to go around and Cathanos won't stand for it. Something must be done and he's the only cat with the kibbles to do something about it. If he can collect all of the mousies of destiny, all he'll need to do is slow-blink the humans to send half of the city's cats to an Instagram cat colony. Can the Meowvengers stop him in time or will this be the endgame? This game will be great if you like silliness, animals that think they're people, cats.

“An aMUSE-ing weekend” a Standard One Shot in the Demigods - Pbta system. Led by Raynor Frejrûn
Las Vegas, city of sin...but for you, well you just live here. You get your coffee, drive in traffic, and work. Ya the fact you are the child of a god is cool and the powers are useful, but your powers don't pay the rent. Something strange is happening. People are being found dead and the police can't find a pattern. One dead at a concert, another at a museum, another in a random hotel room, and 3 at an art gallery. The only thing linking the deaths is that all the victims have died with big smiles on their faces. You sense the supernatural in this, perhaps you should have a look. After all, you can see what others refuse to.....
