It’s the most wonderful time of the year and Jolly Old St. Nick is in a bit of a jam. Explore the North Pole, make some new friends, and give Kringle back his jingle.

Before the first 3D video game came out, all video games were text-based adventures. These were simple scenarios with limited interactions. The player would type their actions into the game, and if it was a valid command, the game would respond with new content.

Players will take control of a character together and the GM will play as the parser and control the computer processing your commands. Players will alternate giving commands like GO NORTH, LIGHT LAMP or GET SWORD, which the GM will follow to the best of the imaginary computer's ability. There’s no limit to the number of people that can play and no limit to the fun. So what are you waiting for? It’s time to unplug from your computer and plug into Parsely! Don't forget to hit SAVE and be mindful, because 3 deaths means GAME OVER! ;-) "

This game will be great if you like choose-your-own-adventure books, 80s computer RPGs, and Super Mario.

"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

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.

Players will take control of a character together and the GM will play as the parser and control the computer processing your commands. Players will alternate giving commands like GO NORTH, LIGHT LAMP or GET SWORD, which the GM will follow to the best of the imaginary computer's ability. There’s no limit to the number of people that can play and no limit to the fun. So what are you waiting for? It’s time to unplug from your computer and plug into Parsely! Don't forget to hit SAVE and be mindful, because 3 deaths mean GAME OVER! ;-) "

This game will be great if you like Indiana Jones, 80s computer RPGs, choose your own adventure books

Players control the protagonist together.

This session will be especially good for new players.

Nona de Koning’s Game Runner Profile

"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 Necromancer is looking for love and wants to meet someone ""The Old Fashioned Way"" so it's up to you to make sure he finds a human who is willing to go home tonight and preferably one that won't be freaked out by the laboratory's cobweb and body parts forward decoration scheme.

From the game designer, "You and your Skeleton Crew are the minions of the great and powerful Necromancer! Your duty is to fulfill their wishes to the best of your ability, the only problem is Necromancy is forbidden, so you must pretend to be human while out in public spaces."

This game will be good if you like Young Frankenstein, Silliness, Resurrectionists, and bone puns.

Being dead leaves a person with a lot of free time. Spending an eternity without good conversation and diverting company would be a terrible pity. I am the Herbert Wells and I've been fortunate to collect some true luminaries into my little supper club. It's not all dinner jackets and spectral cigars though. Lately, we've been getting into adventures! Care to join us?

This game will be great if you like historical figures, silly problems, and taking liberties with the truth.

Some say that Raptor Peak represents the edge of the known world. And looking north from the frostbitten crag would certainly encourage that impression for most. So, having a visitor from the distant north, beyond the distant horizon would be enough cause for excitement without her also carrying a demanding message from the distant city of dragons.

This game will be great if you like lighthearted fantasy, creative problem-solving, and playtesting new systems.

Players should build beginning characters ahead using the guidelines in the system doc, https://the-indecisionist.itch.io/mavericks
