“The Veiled Vaults of the Onyx Queen” a Standard One Shot in the Dungeon Crawl Classics system. Led by Colm McCarthy
"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!"

“The Rainslick Murders: Episode 3” is a Standard One Shot/ Playtest session of Cards. Led by Ansel Burch
A noir-style game of cat and mouse plays out when those with nothing to lose discover that there's one thing left worth betting on.
The Cloister is less of a neighborhood and more of a hive. People have built the city of today on the ruins of yesterday leaving plenty of the past poking through at the margins. It's an area both protected and excluded from the business of the rest of the city, leaving its denizens to get up to all manner of dealings in the hidden alleys, tunnels, and bridges that defy any attempt at mapping or organization.
This game will be good if you like film noir, fictionalized cities, and playing someone who walks on the dark side.
We will build characters in the session.
New players are welcome.

The Forgotten Hive
"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."

Your small town has long dwelt in the shadow of this mysterious nobleman, but little is known about him. So it was all the more shocking to find his wanted ad pinned to the door of the tavern this morning,
“Seeking to hire an enterprising group of mercenaries to rid my ancestral home of a malicious ghostly presence. Payment will be made in land or gold, as you desire. Please report to the front door of my home just after sunset. Those of religious affiliation need not apply.”

Raptor Peak: Echoes in the Wood
A game in the D&D 5e system, led by Ansel Burch.
It's Truffle season and the forest at the base of Raptor Peak has long been known for the succulent, musky delicacies rooted up from the bases of ancient oaks. Peaceful legumes aren't the only thing waiting in the forests, however. They're not even the only thing out there that feeds on death.

Players should build level 11 characters ahead. Otherwise, please let me know (give me any ideas you have), and I will prepare a character for you.
You may use a standard array or roll your stats (roll 4, keep 3: 7 times, drop the lowest).
Your characters should come into the session with five magic items: one "common,” two "uncommon,” one "rare," and one "very rare.” A list is available here: https://www.dndbeyond.com/magic-items - Returning characters who have picked items from the plots of previous adventurers in Raptor Peak need not count them towards the magic items granted above.

Hoax: The Modern Atlantis Wasn't Built to Code
A game of Hoax: The GMless Roleplaying Game Fabricated Evidence, Fast Talking, and Fallacies in Logic, led by Nathan Cavaliere.
You were tasked with making a great scientific discovery by building a self-sustaining underwater settlement so humanity may spread to the seas. You dubbed what you created the Modern Atlantis. This is an especially apt title because, like Atlantis, it was horribly built and run by bumbling dimwits; also, it's probably going to fall apart on itself so entirely that people in the future will question if it even ever existed. That can't be the story you tell your advisors, though: think of what it would due to your academic reputation! Instead, you will con your advisors into believing that the cursed underwater city you made is totally sustainable and safe to live in for the long term. Creatively "re-interpret" those oxygen level readings, prepare your best empty inspirational rhetoric, and hide that gaping hole in the protective wall, because you are going to need to use everything you have to get someone to think that your disaster of a city is a good idea to continue building.
This game will be great if you like Don Quixote, Documentary Now, Not for Broadcast, Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors, Saturday Night Live skits, and other stories of absurdity and satire.
We will build characters in session. There are no character levels in Hoax, only air pressure levels which are much higher than they should be.

New festivals, attractions and otherworldly powers have brought fortune to more than one of the inhabitants. It may not have been inevitable that a high speed, high risk and highly entertaining sport would be invented. It is not, however, surprising that it came to pass. The Rotary Club is... cautiously optimistic and are calling on some trusted and robust heroes to check in on the facility and test out the ride.
