The Song of Bell Chapel
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.
The players will need to create characters beforehand.

“The Fruitcake of Justice” is a Standard One Shot in the Masks system. Led by Ansel Burch
"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?"
This game will be great if you like comic books, Superhero movies, emotional damage, and working as a team despite your teenage tendencies.

“Skeleton Crew” - DCC (Cozy Crawl Classics) is a Standard One Shot in the Dungeon Crawl Classics (Cozified) system. Led by Yorkus Rex
"Cozy Characters (pregens available), Zoom Interface with roll-your-own dice convenience! This is a modified (heavily-modified) DCC Experience
“Life as a reanimated skeleton was simple when the Necromancer was alive. His orders were clear, tasks were repetitive, and mindless eternal servitude was pleasantly peaceful. The Necromancer made every contingency to live beyond his death until he foolishly allowed himself to be flung into a fiery sea of molten magma beneath the volcano. Now life in the Dark Tower is chaotic and disorderly. Skeletons have abandoned their duties and try to return to a semblance of life through games, dances, and tea parties. Defenses have fallen and the master’s head of security, a literal severed head, believes adventurers are closing in to loot the Necromancer’s vaults. With no way to physically force the skeletons to do his bidding, he resorts to playing on the skeletons’ new playfulness to create a game of tower defense.”
This game will be great if you like skeletons engaging in slapstick cartoon violence and warming their bones by the fire.

“A Winter Together” is a Standard One Shot in the Deck system. Led by Ansel Burch
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.

“It's Not Easy Being Green (or Smol!)” a Standard One Shot in the Goblin Errands system. Led by Nona de Koning.
You have just joined a new family of goblins and want to make yourselves useful. Clearly, the best way to do so is by running errands for your new community: Buying vegetables at the market or procuring the services of a local wizard to get your wise leader unstuck from his chamber pot. Sounds easy, right? Well, unfortunately, you've got to contend with a world built for folk much bigger and stronger than you. And on top of that, you're both easily distracted and full of energy! Clearly a winning combination! Pick from various entertaining Goblin types like the Rascal, the Rambler, the Nibbler or the Whiz-Wart. Play to see how things go wrong, complications mount, and these ordinary, everyday tasks spiral into hilarious (mis)adventures. This game will be great if you like PbtA, goblins, being tiny, creative problem solving, shenanigans. This system is especially great for new players. The game runner is very familiar with this system. The game runner will provide playbooks ahead of time, so you can customize your character.

“A Fairy Tale Fiasco” is a Standard One Shot in the Fiasco Classic system. Led by Andy Pymont
“You think you know the stories of Little Red Riding Hood, of Hansel and Gretel, of Snow White and Rapunzel. But what if I told you that actually, their stories were not as simple as you've been told? What if I told you that actually, these stories were much more connected and overlapping, and that, actually, everyone didn't live happily ever after?
Join us as we imagine if Into the Woods had been directed by the Coen Brothers. Can our conflicting cast of evil stepmothers, long-lost siblings, fairy godmothers, and secret lovers manage to achieve their hearts' desires? Or will it all descend into a Fairy Tale Fiasco?"

Las Vegas, city of sin...but for you, well you just live here. You get your coffee, drive in traffic, and work. Ya the fact you are the child of a god is cool and the powers are useful, but your powers don't pay the rent. Something strange is happening. People are being found dead and the police can't find a pattern. One dead at a concert, another at a museum, another in a random hotel room, and 3 at an art gallery. The only thing linking the deaths is that all the victims have died with big smiles on their faces. You sense the supernatural in this, perhaps you should have a look. After all, you can see what others refuse to.....

We’ve received a message from Narendra Station that a runabout called the Susquehanna has gone missing in the Carina Nebula, deep within the Shackleton Expanse.

We have been ordered to enter the nebula, find the runabout, and determine the origin and cause of the alien signal. Starfleet has also advised that Romulan and Ferengi ships have been sighted in the region, so we should exercise caution since they may well have detected the alien signal as well."

To celebrate the opening of the Dragon Festival the rotary has declared a new holiday. Bunting Day celebrates the hanging of the decorations and the official opening of the festival grounds.

Murder at Moonrise Ranch
A game in the D&D 5e system, led by Rayne.
In this one-shot, you play as residents of the small desert town of Moonbright Point. A few days ago, one of the local ranch owners died under mysterious circumstances. The town has been buzzing with rumors of his possible murder and tales of the werewolf that was sighted shortly after he died. For one reason or another, you’ve all been invited to the funeral. And there perhaps you’ll be able to figure who among you has fur... and blood... on your hands.
This game will be great if you like Among Us, Mice & Murder, Wild Wild West.
Players should build LVL 3 characters ahead.
-This game is recommended for experienced role players and those who have some experience with 5E. This game will be somewhat unusual because player vs player is allowed and rather expected. I want players to be especially conscious of making sure their fellow players are having a good time and refraining from metagaming.
Players should commit to having their character and backstory figured out in advance of the game. I’ll want to know how your character fits into the town and how you see the murder victim: Silvan Moonrise.
One of you will be a werewolf; I’ll be rolling a die to determine who it is once the table is set. Everyone who signs up to play should be prepared to add this to their character. I’ll email whoever it is separately before the game.
5E | Level 3 Characters | Use either point-buy or standard array for attributes. Any class or multiclass is fine. Ancestries are limited to the “more human” ones: humans, elves, halflings, etc.
Build a character that is a resident of Moonbright Point. I’ll be sending out more details when the table gets booked, but feel free to lean on Wild West tropes for now.
Assume that as adventurers, you’ve been able to purchase any armor or standard adventuring equipment worth no more than 50gp. And any standard weapon, except for a greatsword or maul.
For spellcasters: assume that you have the material components needed to cast the spells you’ve chosen. If this is a consumable component worth more than 50gp, assume that you have enough for one casting.
Please pick one magic item or weapon of common rarity. https://www.dndbeyond.com/magic-items

But all is not well within the walls of the Palace of Light. A string of disappearances, a mysterious starlet, and strange disembodied voices from out of thin air. Inquisitor Markel has once again sent out the call for assistance, maybe you can get to the bottom of things.
