Stonespire Marsh, named for the eponymous boulder at its center, is home to reclusive, sun-basking lizards. One day, amidst the muck and mud, they uncovered an entrance to the Stonespire itself, and their demeanor changed. They opened their island, speaking to visitors about a ""Second Sun.” They promise sanctuary and shelter the lost and needy, ""The Second Sun brings warmth and prosperity to all it shines upon."" However, pilgrims that enter the Stonespire never seem to leave again. What are High Priest Zon and the lizard cult up to? It's time for your brave mice to crawl beyond the stone and investigate what's really going on in Stonespire Marsh! 

<b><u>About Mausritter:</u></b>

The settled mice huddle together, hidden in their settlements in trees and burrows and walls, scraping and saving. A tenuous existence. You are not like those settled mice. By choice or by necessity you are an adventurer. You live by your luck, your smarts, your bravery. With your friends by your side, you will abandon the warmth and safety of the mouse settlements and venture forth into the dark and dangerous places where other mice do not dare to tread. There is great wealth to be found by those that are willing to take it. 

It's a huge and dangerous world out there. It does not look kindly on a small mouse. But if you are very brave and very clever and just a bit lucky, you might be able to survive. And if you survive long enough, you might even become a hero amongst mice."

This game will be great if you like Redwall, The Rescuers, The Hobbit, Over The Hedge, Thumbelina, OSR style RPGs

"You are epic pirate captains in a loose confederation. Your mission is to explore the archipelago, deal with supernatural complications, and defend your gold against other pirates. The Admiral, Rakefelon Bones McBones, Slayer of the Hidden Sea has been cursed by the gods of the sea to walk only on soil, leaving you to fend for yourselves while he climbs the tallest mountain he can reach to meet with the sky gods for help. 

This leaves you as the remaining captains in charge of the fleet’s home port of Deepwash Anchorage for the time being. You must work together with your crews behind you to deal with whatever threats appear. Fail and Rakefelon Bones McBones will have you nailed to the deck for sure."

"Welcome to Action Castle, the original Parsely scenario that spawned all the others! In just 90-120 minutes, explore the lands of Action Castle, brave its dangers and try to claim the throne!

Come play this party game parlor style RPG that's a love letter to the old text-based computer adventures. With all the laughs, frustrated groans and story paths that you remember :D Can you unlock the best ending? A whole game takes less than 2 hours! Relive the glory days of floppy disks, dot-matrix printers and 128K RAM with this collection of party games inspired by the text adventures of the 1980s.

Before the first 3D video game came out, all video games were text-based adventures. These were simple scenarios with limited interactions. The player would type their actions into the game, and if it was a valid command, the game would respond with new content.

Players will take control of a character together and the GM will play as the parser and control the computer processing your commands. Players will alternate giving commands like GO NORTH, LIGHT LAMP or GET SWORD, which the GM will follow to the best of the imaginary computer's ability. There’s no limit to the number of people that can play and no limit to the fun. So what are you waiting for? It’s time to unplug from your computer and plug into Parsely! Don't forget to hit SAVE and be mindful, because 3 deaths means GAME OVER! ;-) "

Bob Brinkman’s Game Runner Profile- https://www.indecisionist.com/ttrpg-pickup-con-game-runners/bob-brinkman

"Trophy is a strongly collaborative storytelling game with horror themes throughout. It is about a group of treasure-hunters on a doomed expedition into a natural biome that doesn’t want them there. The game tells the story of the physical and mental descent of the treasure-hunters as they move deeper and deeper into their location. Their journey will ultimately bring them to ancient ruins that hold the treasure they seek, and the monstrous entities which now dwell there. This is not, however, a hopeful story of brave and daring adventurers slaying dragons and dragging bags of gold with them back to town. This is a horror story of entitled pillagers meeting tragic ends. It is very likely that all the treasure-hunters will die or — at best — be permanently scarred and haunted by their expedition. Can you trust your friends? Can you even still trust yourself? In this game, Trophy isn't the treasure you seek, but nature trying to take you as its trophy instead.

Trophy Dark is designed to be played as a oneshot with small groups of 2-3 player characters. Single oneshot adventures are called Incursions. Today's incursion is called Gift of the Sea, where the following lures in your characters...

Beyond the forest lies a jagged rocky coast where, for generations now, a small seaside village has observed the rites of Greentide. Each spring, as the first green shoots emerge, village elders weave sapling branches and seaweed into an effigy in the likeness of a young woman. The sculpture is filled with gifts before it is cast into the waves as an offering to the Queen of Tides, along with prayers for a bountiful catch and protection from storms.

This ancient tradition harkens back to an age when the ancestors would crown a young woman as the Tide Queen and offer her to the sea in sacrifice. Chieftains and princes would travel far to attend the ceremony, pledging gold, jewels, and the finest of crafts. To this day, local fisherman never leave shore without paying her their respects—for the tide, they say, must have its due.

Strange as the customs of an isolated village may be, it has not escaped the notice of keen treasure hunters such as yourselves that centuries of offerings and shipwrecks have left a great hoard of untouched riches beneath the waves. You know of the island offshore where the offerings are tipped overboard. You have heard rumors of a cove there, just visible at low tide. Superstitious villagers avoid it, but you know better than to believe their tales."

This game will be great if you like collaborative storytelling, horror We will build characters in session.

Characters will be created together. This can be done in mere minutes, assisted by random tables and dice rolls. As for gameplay, you don't need to know the system, but you do need to be comfortable with roleplaying, thinking on the spot/improv, and contributing to collaborative setting elements instead of just playing your character.

Players need to have played some RPGs.

"Bastion... the electric city, the only city that matters. Everything is here. Everything is complicated. Everything is electric. In the Underground, Machines undermine reality. Aliens are here from beneath the living stars. You have a FAILED career. You have COLOSSAL debt. Whatever you were, your debt has forced you to become a treasure hunter. Treasure is your only hope. The expedition will change you. Time to get out into the city and make some money.

OSR style system. Easy enough to pick up as you go along. Simple character creation. Emphasis on teamwork."

This game will be great if you like Bioshock, Brazil, Guillermo DelToro movies, and Mike Mignola comics.

A game in the MAZEs system, led by Ansel Burch

Things have really picked up at Raptor Peak in the last few years with the addition of a new inn, a Dragon Festival, and now a real Frost Giant King in the mountain to add a souvenir-picture-worthy encounter with danger. This means the stakes for a successful tourist season have gotten that much higher. The Town's rotary club has called once again for adventurers brave enough to help with a problem on the lakefront. Booze cruises masquerading as fishing trips have long been a staple of trips to the peak. So, any problem with those crystal clear waters must be handled quick!

This game will be great if you like Eldritch horror, Making Dark choices and tourist industry based comedy.

We will build characters in session though I will provide information on the system and character options to you ahead.
