“The Wedding Ring at The Christmas Market” is a Slightly Modified One-Shot in the Unknown Armies 3rd Edition system led by garhallertie.

“The Wedding Ring at The Christmas Market” is a Slightly Modified One-Shot in the Unknown Armies 3rd Edition system led by garhallertie.

"Three days ago, PETRA BELLAGAMBA lost her Wedding Ring at the Christmas Market in a town none of you has actually been to. It's a nice town, but it has too big of a market this year. Nothing on the scale of Nuremberg, but it's pretty big. 

That might warrant hiring dangerous people to find a small lost object in a huge, shivering crowd on a snow day. But the real reason is that PETRA lost The Wedding Ring, a unique and indestructible object with strange powers.

Not everyone knows about these powers, but the people who do will stop at nothing to get ahold of it before you do.

Also, there's a really good raclette at this one stall you know about. The cheese is incredible.

PLEASE NOTE: This game is set in the Lost Room Universe (a show that came out on the Sci-Fi channel in 2006), not the normal Unknown Armies Universe.

(Unlike a normal Unknown Armies game, you won't be able to start out with an Adept School. If there's an Avatar identity that really fits, maybe.)

Keep in mind that Unknown Armies is a horror game and may delve into uncomfortably adult areas from time to time. We will still start with a quick Lines and Veils just in case!

You'll pretty much be creating your character, defining your group goal, and building their connection to 5 key NPCs (provided by the GM) as you go along."

This game will be great if you like 

  • competing with NPC parties

  • making up your own version of a holiday event like Christkindlmarkt

  • disrupting such an event with weirdness, maybe even a gunfight (but you're probably more sensible than that.)

  • magic Items that look like 1960s kitsch household objects

  • gaining skill bonuses from mental health changes

  • A horror world where there are magic objects and humans, but no other monsters

  • A consequence-based resolution system.

We will build characters in the session.

Beginner Level ("Street Level" in old UA Parlance) https://www.onarmiesunknown.com/resources/quickstart-ua3-character-concepts-identities/ New players are welcome.

“Gift of the Sea” a Standard One Shot in the Trophy Dark system. Led by Nona de Koning.

“Gift of the Sea” a Standard One Shot in the Trophy Dark system. Led by Nona de Koning.

"Trophy is a strongly collaborative storytelling game with horror themes throughout. It is about a group of treasure-hunters on a doomed expedition into a natural biome that doesn’t want them there. The game tells the story of the physical and mental descent of the treasure-hunters as they move deeper and deeper into their location. Their journey will ultimately bring them to ancient ruins that hold the treasure they seek, and the monstrous entities which now dwell there. This is not, however, a hopeful story of brave and daring adventurers slaying dragons and dragging bags of gold with them back to town. This is a horror story of entitled pillagers meeting tragic ends. It is very likely that all the treasure-hunters will die or — at best — be permanently scarred and haunted by their expedition. Can you trust your friends? Can you even still trust yourself? In this game, Trophy isn't the treasure you seek, but nature trying to take you as its trophy instead.


Trophy Dark is designed to be played as a oneshot with small groups of 2-3 player characters. Single oneshot adventures are called Incursions. Today's incursion is called Gift of the Sea, where the following lures in your characters...

Beyond the forest lies a jagged rocky coast where, for generations now, a small seaside village has observed the rites of Greentide. Each spring, as the first green shoots emerge, village elders weave sapling branches and seaweed into an effigy in the likeness of a young woman. The sculpture is filled with gifts before it is cast into the waves as an offering to the Queen of Tides, along with prayers for a bountiful catch and protection from storms.

This ancient tradition harkens back to an age when the ancestors would crown a young woman as the Tide Queen and offer her to the sea in sacrifice. Chieftains and princes would travel far to attend the ceremony, pledging gold, jewels, and the finest of crafts. To this day, local fisherman never leave shore without paying her their respects—for the tide, they say, must have its due.

Strange as the customs of an isolated village may be, it has not escaped the notice of keen treasure hunters such as yourselves that centuries of offerings and shipwrecks have left a great hoard of untouched riches beneath the waves. You know of the island offshore where the offerings are tipped overboard. You have heard rumors of a cove there, just visible at low tide. Superstitious villagers avoid it, but you know better than to believe their tales."

This game will be great if you like collaborative storytelling, horror We will build characters in session.

Characters will be created together. This can be done in mere minutes, assisted by random tables and dice rolls. As for gameplay, you don't need to know the system, but you do need to be comfortable with roleplaying, thinking on the spot/improv, and contributing to collaborative setting elements instead of just playing your character.

Players need to have played some RPGs.

“Prince Charming, Reanimator” a Standard One Shot in the Dungeon Crawl Classics system. Led by Colm McCarthy.

“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!"

“An Evening with Mrs. Radcliffe” is an ongoing one-shot in the Regency Cthulhu system. Led by Jim

Acclaimed romance novelist, Ann Radcliffe, has come to Tarryford. Rumour has it she is working on her next novel. Rumour also has it, she's gone as mad as a hatter, so it should be a smashing good read. Of course, some might say reading novels induces idleness, negligence, moral degeneration, and brain fever, and invites attention from vast, inhuman intelligence beyond the sane understanding of mortal beings. But that's all claptrap and nonsense, right?

This game will be great if you like Jane Austen, H.P. Lovecraft, The Neverending Story

A Standard One Shot in the Call of Cthulhu: Regency Cthulhu system. Led by Jim.

You are cordially invited...

The Delapore family has returned to Tarryford just in time for the season. What's more, the word around the village is they've come with two very eligible heirs in tow--the twins Edgar and Edwina. Only the most respectable members of the community have been invited to a private dinner at their estate of Exham Priory--including you. Are you there looking to make a respectable match for yourself? Are you there to present face and climb the social ladder at what is assuredly the social event of the year?

A Standard One Shot in the Call of Cthulhu: Regency Cthulhu system. Led by Jim.

You are cordially invited...

The Delapore family has returned to Tarryford just in time for the season. What's more, the word around the village is they've come with two very eligible heirs in tow--the twins Edgar and Edwina. Only the most respectable members of the community have been invited to a private dinner at their estate of Exham Priory--including you. Are you there looking to make a respectable match for yourself? Are you there to present face and climb the social ladder at what is assuredly the social event of the year? Or maybe you're there for a front-row seat to drama that is sure to unfold. Regardless, this is sure to be an absolutely stunning affair with nothing untoward, horrific, or eldritch whatsoever.
