Port perilous has long been the provenance of pirates as it is the last island before the vast Open Sea takes ownership of the horizon. Sailing towards the morning Sun from point perilous means going into the unknown with no promise of ever returning. By that same token, Port Perilous is the first place where anything from the wide sea will interact with the known world. This game will be great if you like pirate stories, and RP heavy combat. 

The game runner will provide characters.

City of Mist is a noir mystery game that takes place in a modern city where legends are real people. Heroes, tricksters, and monsters are reborn inside ordinary people, regular Joes and Janes, who gain supernatural powers connected to their legendary alter-egos. The mystical veil of the Mist hides these miraculous powers from the other, sleepwalking residents of the City. It makes armor look like a flak vest and fire breathing like a cheap party trick or a gas leak explosion, so no-one ever knows about the legendary. Player characters in City of Mist are ordinary people in whom a legend has awakened. You play a unique combination of a real-life persona and a legendary Mythos, from a street-cleaner with the powers of the Monkey King to a fashion tycoon who is the incarnation of Aphrodite. Your life is a game of balance between magic and normality. Together with your ragtag crew of Rifts, you will hit the dark streets to uncover the insidious forces at play in your City and solve various mysteries. This time you'll try to solve a case called V is for Going Viral, a clever reference to both the presence of social media and an actual virus. A new infectious evil is operating in the City, using innocent civilians to spread itself. As more and more university students go missing, can you find the cause and put a stop to it once and for all? 

This game will be great if you like solving mysteries, balancing normality and having powers, PbtA or Fate.

Any journey can become a legend! Make up your own campfire story, myth or fairytale in Mythology. It's a GMless storytelling game where everyone collaborates to tell a new tale inspired by the images on a whimsical deck of tarot cards. Players make up their characters by mixing several cards, then take turns drawing cards to set up the initiating event and obstacles for other players to tackle. Together everyone will weave the story of a new legend and discover how the city got saved! No knowledge of tarot cards is needed and we'll use a non-traditional deck of images to inspire us. Mythology is part of The Ultimate Micro-RPG Book, an anthology of 2-page games. This means it's very rules-light and very easy to learn, but players should be comfortable using their own imagination without many rules to hold on to. This game will be great if you like collaborative storytelling, mythology, legends, fairytales, interpreting images and/or tarot. 

We'll create characters together at the start of the game.

Spectaculars is a game of comic book heroes and villains in its own entirely new comic book universe using a rules-light percentile % system. However, this universe is not predetermined, it takes more a "legacy board game"/living world approach. You start with knowing just a few basics and creating just a few characters. As more sessions are played, the setting will grow and change and become filled with memorable heroes, engaging villains, and stories of the clash between them. It's perfectly suitable for oneshots, but if you return to the game, you may see old locations and characters reappear. It's a living world, so what happens in a session can affect the universe we play in. Things like your reputation with the public, media and government are shared between games as well. Come play in our city just once or come back time and time again, the choice is yours! Today's adventure takes place in the Explorers of the Unknown branch of our comic book universe. This branch is themed around super science, exploration, and incredible threats of inhuman proportions. It hearkens back to silver age stories of astronaut families, inventors, mad scientists, alien invasions, and artifacts of unknowable science and incredible power. Join a team of Prodigies and come save the day! Your team is full of the brightest and boldest minds, heroes who showed great promise in making their mark on the world even before they gained their powers. Examples from popular comics include the Avengers® (Marvel) and the Justice League of America® (DC). When a band of evil minions invades a government building, taking hostages and setting up strange devices, everything points to the first steps of a villainous plan being set into motion. Can you save the city? 

This game will be great if you like superheroes, a living world, rules-light systems, lots of freedom and creative problem-solving.

Characters start with an archetype and are further customized by combining different cards drawn from various decks to determine team roles, identity, and powers. Created heroes go into a common pool, so players can select any existing character or pick an unused archetype to make a new one. The game runner will send you your choices in advance. Any last-minute signups can only be picked from the pre-existing pool.

The territory of Rilleah has been suffering since the Eight Years' War, not least because the victorious New Council decided it was a great place to send demobilized soldiers and refugees. The Earl and his advisors have been looking for something to do with this unexpected influx, and one of them thinks he's found the solution: round up groups and have them explore the cave-riddled chasm at the edge of the territory. Farmers and villagers have been reporting night raids, and some say they're coming from there. Plus, of the four parties the Earl sent into the caves, only one person survived, and he's a little too unwell to talk about it. If you decide to sign up, you may eventually win a profession, property, and riches, instead of a spot on a mandatory work-detail, which is the choice the "recruiter" is offering you.

This game will be great if you like old-school dungeon crawls, snatch-and-grab hunts, dynamic combat and roleplaying."

Or so the people say - - - You are a pirate on the coast of the Barrier Islands in the employment of Deadly Smedley, notorious pirate captain. With them, you ply the rivers and the sea of the Barrier Islands and care not for the strange tales of the islands.

Beneath the crumbling walls of a keep lies an unexplored warren of caverns stretching into unknown darkness. Within the depths, an ancient evil stirs and grows hungry. Forgotten horrors, once relegated to legend, are on the move – with only your band of heroes between them and their goal! What begins as simple exploration rapidly becomes a struggle against denizens of the underworld, and the very environs of the underworld itself. Through crumbling caverns and against long-trapped foes, the party is confronted with a threat that places the future of the surface world in jeopardy. Your heroes must act quickly to secure the world, or face the consequences of their failure to halt the advance of the denizens of The Forgotten Hive. Converted for DCC RPG by the author.
