"In one day, let us create and destroy a world. Throughout Saturday, we will devise a world using the tools and deck of Decuma, we will explore the pressures of a community living in that world through the lens of language in Dialect, and then you will see how that community ends in a Quiet Year.

The setting we build over the course of Saturday will be the subject of a game run in the Mavericks system on Monday. Sign up for any or all of these games to be a part of the lore."

This game will be great if you like creative exercises, answering prompts, and working together.

We will build characters in the session.

New players are welcome.

Beak, Feather, & Bone is a collaborative worldbuilding tool as well as a competitive map-labeling RPG. It's original setting comes from Ravenfolk myth, but works with any setting. For this oneshot we'll skip past the lore and play as humans in a medieval type of town (which may absolutely include mythical/fantasy/magical elements), to keep the game the most accessible to everyone. In this game we are all a player; there is no GM. You do not control a single character, but speak as the voice of an entire faction within the city. Starting with an unlabeled city map, players are assigned community roles before taking turns claiming and describing locations. We draw from a standard 52-card deck to determine a building's purpose and then describe its beak (reputation), feather (appearance), and bone (interior). As buildings are claimed, a narrative for the town and its inhabitants emerges, including major NPCs and shifting power dynamics. Will your faction take the seat of power at the end? Play to find out!

This game will be great if you like collaborative storytelling, character creation, and worldbuilding. 

New players welcome. Players should have played some RPGs before.

“Single Unique Power” is a Standard one-shot in the Possible Worlds system. Led by Nona de Koning. Friday, May 23, 2025 4:00 AM-6:00 AM Minimum of 3, maximum of 5 people. Team up and create an exciting world and its superpowered inhabitants! Single Unique Power is a collaborative cast-building and setting-creation game inspired by the “one person, one power” trope popular in superhero media, manga, and anime. Examples include mutations in X-Men, quirks in My Hero Academia, but also TTRPG staples like PbtA playbooks and class archetypes. In each of these examples, select characters all have unique, personalized powers. Everyone will be asked by the gamerunner to submit several random single-word prompts ahead of time. During the game, those prompts will inspire both our setting and the characters that live in it. We'll learn about their powers, weaknesses, and personalities. For some of them, we'll learn a bit about previous events that once occurred in their lives. You don't own any one character, as character sheets tend to move around the table, making their creations a group project. At the end of this game, we'll have created a setting populated by a colorful cast of characters as well as bits and pieces of their backstories. It's a fun standalone exercise, but it may also inspire you to take these characters into future games!
