Girl By Moonlight: In Darkest Night (Session 2 of 4)
Leandro Pondoc runs for Asher, Rob Ruthven, Sabine V., and Steven
In the tangled, dark city known as Metropolis-7, the onus of its protection rests on vulnerable teenagers entwined into the city's dark fate. A normal day at boarding school may very well turn out to be the beginning of the end for everyone. Elidi tries to temper her friends' tendencies, Mal is given an opportunity to go back on her choices, Anemone tries to bolster everyone around her and, as darkness gathers, Ysidro finds himself tangled within the timestream.

Jamila R. Nedjadi runs for David Morrison, Jesse A., and Maria M.
Many thanks to the players for leaning into the despair unique to the magical girl genre. My love for Paprika and Serial Experiments Lain definitely comes through! It's all very creepy and weird.

Band of Blades (Session 10)
Leandro Pondoc runs for Bryan, Chris Newton, Dan Pucul, and David Morrison
With the Panyar forest burning and the Talgon shrouded in haze, the Legion make their way to Fort Calisco only to find the redoubtable fortress under siege. Surrounded by the massed hordes of Blighter's horde, the Legion have no choice but to make a desperate strike to break the siege and relieve the fort. With the Horned One's Chosen entering battle once more, the Legion must face old ghosts and fresh threats if they want to see the next day.

Hearts of Wulin vs the World (Session Zero)
Jim Likes Games runs for David Walker, Puckett, SalamanderJames, and Sawyer Rankin
CW: Sex, drugs, rock and roll.
