Space Wurm vs Moonicorn (Session 7) Tyler Lominack runs for Bethany H., Brandon Brylawski, Chris Sellers, Lowell Francis, Patrick Knowles, and Sherri A new figure arrives from out of space and time. The tide begins to turn in Space Wurm's favor. The gang goes on a rescue...and Moonicorn's just gotta Dance, Dance, Dance! Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai (Session 2 of 2) Donogh runs for Clint Smith and Puckett Ricky Rocket's investigation of the Irish mob gets entangled by the Triad's interests, but as Huang Chen is pushed into war against the Mafia, his attention turns to deciphering the mystery of the elderly assassin instead... Quest: Spelljammer (Session 3) David Walker runs for Chase Ordonis, David Morrison, Leandro Pondoc, and Robbie Boerth The crew of the Spiritfarer plans to rendezvous with the charismatic spy Hallow. Little do they realize that Hallow is in over their head, well - over their feet at least. This is an actual play of Quest played in a setting inspired by teenage dreams of the AD&D setting Spelljammer. Unincorporated: Witchy Little Town (Session 1 of 2) Maria M. facilitates for Anders, Kyle H., and Marleigh It's all fine when Amelia Earhart shows up in someone's shower and promptly becomes the Worst Roommate (TM), right? Tired of Amelia's midnightly rituals and desecration of the coffee pot, Agatha recruits her friends to conduct a ritual at the lake. The lake the Bertram may or may not have tried to get rid of his doppelganger in and the lake that Diane knows Tillie has been dreaming about. Or is that Tillie's been dreaming about Agatha and/or Amelia? Oh, and Diane has a talking spell-book that's looking for a new owner. Nothing can go wrong! Unincorporated: Witchy Little Town (Session 2 of 2) Maria M. facilitates for Anders and Kyle H. Now that Agatha's left in a jetplane completely unhexed truck with a spell-book, Diane needs to find a way to turn herself back from a walking body of water into something more suited for rising to power in a small town. Bertram's dealing with being merged with his other self. Tillie just wants protection. Enter, Chad and the Corporate Cult under the Triple B and the spell-book of buzzwords!

ALIEN: Ruin (Session 3 of 4) Jason Zanes runs for Alun R., Paul Rivers, and Will H The team tries to figure out how to accomplish their mission and escape Herbert 4 while Noah goes full auto versus a giant xenomorph, Bryant manipulates everyone, and the young prospector Baldy finds a new use for a cutting torch. Ma Nishtana: Why is this Night Different? (Session 2 of 2) Jamila R. Nedjadi runs for Bodhi, Danielle B., and Sherri Ma Nishtana: Why is this Night Different? is a story game modeled on a Passover Seder, a ritual meal and collaborative re-telling of the Jewish Exodus from Egypt. There are opportunities to eat all of the ritual foods or perform more abstract (and remote play-friendly) rituals. Together, players breathe new life into the Exodus story by embodying their own version of a key character and roleplaying a series of structured scenes called "Rituals," culminating in the deliverance of the Hebrew people from peril. Players take turns guiding these scenes, perform ritual actions, and collaborate in building a shared world filled with wonder, terror, and deep care. We explore the emotional ties of the characters and through their eyes discover what Passover has to teach us: the weight of sacrifice, the strength of community, and the responsibility we have to those who seek a place called home. Ultraviolet Grasslands: Season 12 - Blues for the Red Sun (Session 3 of 3) Horst Wurst runs for Alex Greenshields, Brandon Brylawski, Chris Thompson, and Puckett Ivory Plain Heart: Sickness Unto Foolish Death (Session 3 of 4) Leandro Pondoc runs for Bodhi, Brandon Brylawski, and Jake Redcap Grove is meant to be a simple, seedy stop amidst the Heart's splendor. But for our escorts, shepherding a nervous drown noble to the deep, it instead becomes a nexus for the contradictions and complications that span the Heart itself. Nekkra blunders into an afterlife they didn't expect to find, Dolwyn faces despair as forces target the Hive and Lynesse comes into conflict with a defender of heartsblood. Free from the Yoke: Firebird Suite (Session 4) Lowell Francis runs for Alexi S., Bryan, David Jay, and Scot Ryder Hollow vengeance is achieved and the Arbiter's project reaches completion, leading to a turning of the ages as ten years pass. Night's Black Agents: Underworld Promises (Session 8) Lowell Francis runs for Alun R., Paul Rivers, Pawel S., and Will H Jimmy returns from England with documents detailing the EDOM conspiracy but when the Orphic Vampires' conspiracy is revealed, the team swerves to a new purpose. Space Wurm vs Moonicorn (Session 8) Tyler Lominack runs for Bethany H., Brandon Brylawski, Chris Sellers, Lowell Francis, Patrick Knowles, and Sherri The heroes face the Great War with the Vastness as our story comes to an end. Gauntlet Campaigns Déclin Oblige (Session 1) Jamila R. Nedjadi runs for Lowell Francis, Patrick Knowles, and Sherri Déclin Oblige (working title!) is a social game of political intrigue. Players are nobles who are a part of the last seven houses of a broken land. These nobles wield terrible and awesome magic, tied to the land, that has been cursed from invaders centuries ago. Nobles will scheme and plot, working towards fulfilling their own agendas, in a world of decadence, high magic, immense power, and hubris. In this prologue Seventhaw seeks out a new mark, Vinta offers human souls to help their brother, and Cirenia learns about a fate tied to betrayal. We slowly begin to formulate our schemes! Gauntlet Book Club Wolfsong/Bite Marks (Session 5 of 6) David Morrison runs for Drew D., Jamila R. Nedjadi, and Sabine V. Jax, Ghost and Ivar have a heart-to-heart conversation over unicorn frappuccinos. Ghost confronts some old memories of his mother, while Jax and Ivar confront her in the real world.
