Every city in Middle Earth has treasures. For the past 30 years it's been the distinct pleasure of the Travelling Appraisers to get a glimpse of the truly wonderous items that are hiding in the attics and cupboards from the Eriador to Belfalas. This week, we find ourselves in the the Shire town of Hobbiton where the heirs of an eccentric collector are looking to get a valuation on some truly exceptional pieces.

CW: possible character death

Welcome to Yazeba's Bed & Breakfast, a sprawling old house outside time and space, where it’s always September 15th and there’s always room for a new visitor. The unusual blend of premade characters, modular rules, and legacy mechanics makes this TTRPG perfect for pick-up play: busy players can drop in and out without ever feeling lost, and anyone who wants to jump in can make a long-term impact without a long-term commitment. Yazeba's is yours to change. Perhaps Residents will leave or change, Guests will become far more important than you expected, or Journeys will take unexpected twists. Take control of one of the 7 long-term residents of the B&B or choose from a cast of 50 quirky guests, each of whom has their own ongoing storylines. Chapters can be played in any order and include things like lazy afternoons, frightful nights, insurmountable chores, and zany competitions, so every adventure is full of surprises. When we were little, we were taught that a story is a sequence of events with a beginning, middle and end. But that’s not how all stories work: some loop around on themselves, some are told out of sequence, and some never end. After we play one Chapter, we can play another without worrying too much about whether it came before or after the Chapter we just played, or how much time has passed. Think back on that prolific paperback series you may have once read: you might have missed a few issues, or read them out of order, but you were always able to figure out what was going on. That's what Yazeba's is going for! Chapters are short, so we may play more than one adventure during our session, swapping characters in between! If you've played Yazeba's before, feel free to let your gamerunner know which chapters you've played, so you can try some new ones.

This game will be great if you like more freeform roleplay, a push-and-pull between weaknesses and strengths, a cast of colorful characters, pickup style play, unlocking things, legacy boardgames. New players are welcome. The game runner is very familiar with this system. The game comes with pre-existing characters to pick from.

The pirate ship, The Cauldron is grounded on a big rock just off the coast of Ouness, a small and remote island on the Northern end of the archipelago. The locals seem slow to trust but like it or not, you're stuck together until the weather clears in the spring. The sailors bring with them stories of the wide world and gifts from the edges of believability. The colonists offer a perspective that the sailors might just want to consider and a shelter from the weather to come.

The people of the Obsidian Mountains have many stories of what they call the Bell Chapel. Sitting in a remote and dangerous part of the forest, it was said to once be a temple to a Twin Faced God of the Underworld. Hundreds of years ago people would come from far and wide with the remains of their loved ones, so that they might be carefully tended to by the monks and sent to their final rest. 

The forest was once filled with the songs of clear ringing bells. But now their god's name is forgotten, and the halls of their monastery stand silent. Until now, when the bells ring out through the forest once again. 

In this adventure you’ll play as members of the Red Hand Adventuring League who have been hired to investigate Bell Chapel. Local villagers suspect bandits may be using the old temple as a base of operations but no thefts have been reported yet. 

This game will be great if you like Dimension 20, Indian Jones, or the general idea of adventure stories.

"Charged with simultaneously protecting and (carefully) endangering Halcyon City's heroes in training, there are many ways that the Juvenile Justice Team deploys costumed assets under the age of majority. Not all of them are glorious. 

Maude Marvel is better known as her heroic alter ego, Chief Chef.She was an incredibly niche superhero in the 70's who fought crime using the French method which requires precise skills and a lot of butter. Now she's more of a curiosity with 60 years of history stored in her brain. Spending a week with her has become something of a rite of passage for young heroes when crime fighting gets a little thin over the winter holidays.

Will our heroes be able to help an octogenarian make a fruit cake? Will it teach them about teamwork and Aegis history? Can they keep from going absolutely feral with minimal supervision?"

In Something Tookish, you play as a Halfling in a cozy little village, solving various mysteries. Not everything is a crime and there's nothing as gruesome as murder, oh no, they wouldn't do that! But petty theft or spats between neighbours also require someone to meddle solve them, right? And you're just the Halflings for the job! This game uses the Carved from Brindlewood framework. This means (just like in Brindlewood Bay), there is no canon solution to the mysteries. It's up to the players to come up with a clever way to tie everything together. However, there are plenty of clues to find and plenty of locals to meet! This oneshot is for 2-4 Halflings and will take about 3 hours. Our session pitch: "The village is buzzing with excitement, for the annual baking contest takes place today! Everyone is busy with preparations, for even those who are not entering a baked good into the competition have been pressed into service by someone who is. You arrive very early, only to find a mortified Belinda Sackville, who approaches you in a panic. Can you help find her missing muffin tin? She promised to outdo herself this year and keep up her winning streak!" This game will be great if you like PbtA, cozy mysteries, community, small-town village life, baking, poems, sing-alongs and Carved from Brindlewood, New players welcome.

"For generations, the Hookclaw kobolds have lived beneath the city known as Absalom, scratching out a hardscrabble existence by scavenging from the earth-packed ruins of ancient, buried buildings. In all that time, the Hookclaws have never been conquered or

wiped out by more powerful forces, which makes them truly prestigious by kobold standards. Unfortunately, this prestige has never resulted in wealth or comfort. Yet the smell of change is in the air. Just recently, a party of Hookclaw miners accidentally broke into an

underground room that was stuffed full of treasures and luxuries, most of them in far better condition than the time-rotted relics that the Hookclaws typically own. The Hookclaws have rounded up their greatest heroes, most eager volunteers, and most violent misanthropes to explore the mysterious area. Once the chamber has been secured and deemed safe,

the Hookclaws can cart off the treasure and live the opulent lives they have long deserved!" This game will be great if you like playing zany adventures as the underdog. And KOBOLDS! The game runner will provide 1st level characters.

The Licktoad goblins of Brinestump Marsh have stumbled upon a great treasure—fireworks! Yet unfortunately for them, the tribe member responsible for the discovery has already been exiled for the abhorrent crime of writing (which every goblin knows steals words from your head). To remedy this situation, the Licktoads’ leader, His Mighty Girthness Chief Rendwattle Gutwad, has declared that the greatest heroes of the tribe must venture forth to retrieve the rest of the fireworks from a derelict ship stranded in the marsh. In order to prove themselves as the Licktoads’ bravest goblins, the PCs must complete a series of dangerous dares, from swallowing bull slugs and braving the dreaded Earbiter to dancing with Squealy Nord himself. Yet even once they’ve proven their mettle, the adventure is just beginning. The ship in question is far from uninhabited, and Vorka the cannibal goblin would like nothing better than a few tasty visitors....

A game in the Dark Streets and Darker Secrets system, led by Liberty Blair Charissage.

Blood Stains the sidewalk. Bullet holes are on the walls of the buildings. Punk rock and roll rages. Protesters are being repelled, and the lycanthropes prowl the streets in the night. Your business is with these lycanthropes. Punk gangs of lycanthropes fight one another for control of River City and other, darker things; you may be somebody ordinary investigating these were-gang wars, a wizard looking for a new angle in these fights, or perhaps you are a were-beast yourself. Whatever you are, you’re knocking on the Werewolf gang's door for or help. Yet help always comes with a price. This game will be using Dark Streets and Darker Secrets, an OSR-esque game for dark fantasy settings like World of Darkness.

However, you create your setting. I might be using Powered by the Apocalypse techniques because I am not an expert on World of Darkness, and I want to give my players the setting they want. Come on down if you fancy being a punk rock werewolf, heavy-metal monster-hunter, or goth vampire-fighting dark sorcerers, cacodemons, and other monsters.

This game will be great if you like Evil Dead, World of Darkness, especially Werewolf: The Apocalypse. The Nightworld RPG. River City Girls and other Beat 'em up games. Supernatural. The Light at the End. Neverwhere. The Deadly Streets by Harlan Ellison. Punk rock subculture.

We will build level 1 characters in the session. Guidelines: Keep an open mind. Think outside the box. Be flexible and patient. Have a character who knows and needs something from Yakov Trushin, leader of the werewolf gang.

A game in the Dungeons and Dragons Fifth Edition Ruleset led by Ansel Burch.

The annual Dragon Festival brings people back to Raptor's Peak during the off-peak tourist season. So, when the entirety of the festival and it's attendees disappear at the opening ceremonies there's... a lot to deal with.

• This game will be great if you like fantasy novels, renaissance faires… you know, fantasy role play.

• Players should build level 5 characters ahead if able. Otherwise, please let me know (give me any ideas you have) and I will assist or prepare a character for you. You may use either standard array or rolled (Roll 4, Keep 3: 7 times, drop the lowest).

• Your characters should come into the session with one "common" and one "uncommon" magic item. A list is available here: https://www.dndbeyond.com/magic-items

• Returning characters who have picked items during previous adventurers in Raptor Peak need not count them towards the magic items granted above.

• This game will be great for new players.

• This game will balance seriousness with silliness and lean toward role play over combat.

• This game will be hosted on the con’s Discord page.
