Against the Vampire Conspiracy: Finding Throndal (Session 3 of 4) Alun R. runs for Anders, Puckett, Sabine V., and Will H With the Briefing for the Operation complete, the team have to decide whether they want to reach Throndal's subterranean vault through the front door, the back door, or via some abandoned tunnels; and whether to go during the work day or not. Antony and Timothy aim to get straight into sub-level 5 through the old mine-workings but discover another Throndal crest and another whisper in the dark. Meanwhile, Dylan and Mia stage a local power cut and then con their way in through the back door to fix it. There's a misunderstanding that Dylan exploits while Mia aims for a convincing level of surprise and then indignation; Timothy is asked for spiritual help while Anton harnesses the Darkness to provide it. Then...bullet time; a super-villain scale vault; frenzy in an elevator; and the toughest hack Mia has ever tried...and an explosion... Ex-Capes (Issue 13) Jim Likes Games runs for Bethany H., Bryan, Chris Newton, and Matthew Arcilla The Ex-Capes take on the psychic fear contagion code-named Hearsay and track down the Apocalypse Vestiges. Delta Green: Divergence (Session 4) Lowell Francis runs for Alun R., Horst Wurst, and Will H Our agents deal with home life and agencies with new priorities under the Trump Administration, before being sent to Kansas City to track down a potentially supernatural serial killer. Dungeons & Dragons 5E: Ravnica: Labyrinth of Mirrors (Session 3) Lowell Francis runs for Jim Likes Games, Joe F, Joel N., and Tim Leitner Our heroes continue to run down Vek's activities and end up travelling out to the Rubblebelt to find an assassin who escaped them last time. Against the Vampire Conspiracy: Finding Throndal (Session 4 of 4) Alun R. runs for Anders, Puckett, Sabine V., and Will H They know where the Throndal monster is; and they have the leverage they need...so Dylan visits its hunting lodge...alone. Meanwhile, Mia loads a van with (a lot of) C4, while Timothy and Anton move into position at Location X with their sights on Location Y. There's a convincing lie about a planned ambush that Throndal can forestall...if only he gets to Location Y...NOW! His thrall bodyguard fails to see what's coming and his protection squad deploy perfectly into the path of a speeding van. Then...the pre-dawn filled with the smell of burning petrol, and flying lead, as Conspiracy pawns are torn to shreds; a thrall faced with diverse threats and unable to focus on one of them; and a vampire confused by what is happening as an invocation binds it to the place it will reach the end of 200 years of un-life with a warning 'Now she will succeed. No one will be able to stop her now!'... Gauntlet Quarterly Fate of the Faerie Queen (Session 4 of 10) Shane runs for José Feito, Kyle H., Lowell Francis, and Matthew Doughty After a meeting with Baba Yaga, the characters return to the Catskills for a climactic battle with Alexander Koschei and his fairy servant, but find that if they don't destroy the Gingerbread Church quickly enough, they will become trapped in the realm of Faerie. Star Wars Saturday Apocalypse World Burned Over (Session 4) Rich Rogers runs for Alun R., Anders, and Bethany H. Under new ownership - one Mos Shuuta. Riots...on the horizon. Majordomo position for Bib Fortuna filled. Unless they died in the freighter crash. Stars in the Dark (Session 15) Anders runs for Marc Majcher, Mark (they/them), Rich Rogers, and Steven Watkins Rebel Rescue! - The players take their scoundrels to the skies in an attempt to rescue the Rebel leader Maxa Noss from a prison transport shuttle! Silent Falls Monsterhearts 2 (Session 4 of 5) Donogh runs for José Feito, Mark, Max, and Steven S. The school is holding a memorial service for Alice, but it seems over-the-top to her truest friends. When rumours begin to spill of what went on at the party, things really start to heat up. That night, Julia brings the group to her cave, in an effort to communicate with Alice's ghost, and maybe even compel Bria to tell them what's really going on...
