Fate in Inde, the Crossroads of Existence
A game in the fate system, led by Liberty Blair Charissage.
Since time immemorial, the land of Ende has been known as the Crossroads of Existence and the Land of Monsters, and some beings of Ende have very long memories indeed. For Cycles incalculable to mortal minds, Ende has between a battleground for the Cosmic Forces of the Universe. The wars between the Gods and Demons of multitude, Order, Chaos, and petty mortal kings are fought on Ende.
This status of a war-ground has given birth to many colourful and strange cultures created by the immortals of Ende and the other bizarre beings who have found themselves in Ende either through cosmic war recruitment, draft, travel, or shipwreck. The wars of old have been over for many lifetimes, yet the differences and conflicts remain in the upper echelons of the Cosmos. Now Ende is delicately balanced on the tip of a smoldering Cold War that has its connections everywhere, from the ends of the multiverse to the microscopic concerns of mortal individuals.
However, you don't try to worry about that too much, for you have learned to deal with these problems as an inhabitant of Ende for your entire life - - - or afterlife. You are just someone trying to find your way in this weird world; you might try and strike it rich, provide and protect your community, or gain enlightenment.
Side-note: I have studied Hindu religion and mythology, and while they will be a significant element of this tabletop game, they will be a starting point rather than a focus. Respect will be attempted at all turns. Respect and be informed about other cultures and religions.
This game will be great if you like The Ramayana, The Mahabharata, The legends of Vikramaditya, The works of Micheal Moorcock, Fritz Leiber, Philip Jose Farmer, Planescape, the wargames of Age of Sigmar and Heroscape, if you remember Heroscape.
We will build characters beforehand using email. Keep an open mind and think outside the box.
This game will be great for new players.

Buckle the Swash: Fate in Piracy
A game in the Fate Core system led by Ansel Burch.
The high seas are a gateway to adventure, opportunity and the unknown. Beyond the horizon you'll find that what you've been taught cannot compass the breadth of the world or the depths of the sea. Sail into a world of mystery, legend and high stakes adventure in this absolute action movie of a game.
A separate session is being held immediately before this to provide an opportunity to build your character and learn the rules. This is not mandatory but will be helpful if you have not built a fate character before.
This game will be great if you like Pirates: Band of Misfits, Yellowbeard, Seahawke, Treasure Island, Pirates of the Caribbean.
Players should build characters ahead. Hel p is available here: https://fate-srd.com/

The Imaginarium of Monty Python and the adventures of Baron Brazil in Time: A Terry Gilliam Homage Rendered Inexpertly Through the Medium of Fate
A game in the Fate system, led by Ansel Burch.
A step into the Imarinarium transports our heroes into a world where anything can happen, whether it makes sense or not. Follow erstwhile companions and misfits as they endure quick and unexpected jumps in time, random cutscenes and a plot that is surprisingly cohesive regardless.
This game will be great if you like Terry Gilliams' Oeuvre.
We will build characters in session.
This game will be great for new players.
This game will be extremely silly and favor role play heavily over combat.

Fate of Shadows: Winnipeg. A supernatural cyberpunk game set in the Winnipeg of a future.
A game using the Fate Core Rules, led by Liberty the Referee.
The Place: Winnipeg. Time-Date: Several years into the future than you'd like. The Future is a dream within a dream. Bionics have taken off, magic has returned, and Winnipeg has changed. The spirit of Guy Maddin has made all decades, all eras happen simultaneously. You can find yourself one moment in the 1920's district, smelling the smoke of 1920's cigarettes, then next moment, you find yourself in another district of time, holding what a 10 year old kid from 1999 thought a cell-phone would be. You are a blank. A person who doesn't exist. Your legal records are no where to be found or are faked for whatever reason. More than a blank, you are a member of the Eco-Anarchists Taxi Caps Inc. An taxi company that is an obvious front for Eco-Anarchist activities. You are a cyborg, a mad scientist, a misfit, a mutant, a supernatural being, a victim, a survivor, or, more elusive of all, a practitioner of the Secret Arts. The E.A.T.'s enemies are many, do you have what it takes to survive in the Winnipeg of the future, the present, and the past? Art by Diana Thorneycroft.
This game will be great if you like Comic Book Universes, especially 2000AD, My Winnipeg, The Forbidden Room, Shadowrun, Philip K. Dick, J.G. Ballard
Standard Fate characters will be provided. Come with an open mind. Be flexible. Be a problem solver and think outside of the box.
