Dungeon Crawler Carl RPG – Cutting it Fine

Facilitator: 
%profile[profile_name]

New Achievement! Perilous Procrastinator!

You found the stairs with less than three hours before the floor collapses! Maybe you think you can hold up the ceiling? Someone tries that every season, it always gets brief laugh on the highlight reel! If you don’t fancy arm wrestling gravity though you’d better get to those stairs!

-------

This session will follow a small group of Crawlers as they try to survive the final few hours of the first floor of Dungeon Crawler World: Earth.

The World Dungeon is not a safe or happy place. The session will aim for the same kind of humour/horror tone as the books, and it is quite possible that some or all of the Crawlers won’t survive.

After all, long as Crawler deaths are entertaining, the AI and showrunners will be pleased.

Somebody Think of the Children

Facilitator: 
Tigger

Step into the role of all-American moms in the 1990s who find themselves in the grip of a Satanic Panic as they investigate the odd nighttime activities of local teens.

The American suburbs of the 1990s were a celebration of consumer culture: shopping centres, arcades, video rental chains, and a dizzying array of fast-food franchises offered more entertainment and opportunities to shop than ever before.
But despite all this prosperity, something was wrong with the new generation; the kids were not all right. They were dressing in black, wearing heavy make-up, and obsessed with vampires.
Sensationalised crimes like the Kentucky Vampire Killings and bizarre rumours like the Springfield Vampire Tunnels put parents on edge.
The Satanic Panic reemerged, fixated on teens playing a new kind TTRPG: the dreaded vampire storytelling games.

It was a particularly hard time for mothers. Society was still traditional, and moms were expected to be full-time guardians against sex, drugs, violence, and the occult in additional to so many other responsibilities.

This game is intended for adult players.

Mind Maze

Facilitator: 
Mike Sands

You're Quaestors, space police, on the trail of the notorious telepathic criminal "Shatter".

He was last seen on Caryatid, heading for an ancient alien remnant.

Whatever he has planned there, it's bound to be bad.

This is a playtest scenario for the in-development space horror supplement for Monster of the Week.

Bonny and Blithe, and Good and Gay

Facilitator: 
Louisa Joines

"Monday's child is fair of face
Tuesday's child is full of grace
Wednesday's child is full of woe
Thursday's child has far to go,
Friday's child
Is loving and giving,
Saturday's child
Works hard for a living,
And the child that is born on the sabbath day
Is bonny and blithe,
And good and gay"

It is the 19th century and Scandinavia is changing. In the cities machines churn, technology rushes, a world of new ideas and endless revolutions.
But on the outskirts, in the country and the forests, the dirt roads and the shadows, the old ways remain. And they will not let themselves fade silently into the night.

So if your down to run around in a mystery sandbox that's a bit Robert Eggers, a bit Wicker Man, a bit Call of Cthulhu and a bit Brothers Grimm, then this is the game for you!

Content warning notes: violence, horror, and themes of domestic abuse. Safety tools will be in play.

Band of Blades

Facilitator: 
Mel Duncan

The Legion is in retreat following a failed battle against the armies of the undead. You are a member of the Legion, your bonds to one another forged in the dark by bone and blood.

Now you have have reached Talgon Forest, which grows more mystical by the day. The Panyar brought a cutting from their Heart Tree a few hundred years ago and now the paths and trees are becoming prone to shifting. A sacred site to the Horned One is hidden here too, and she has great power to offer you. Talgon Forest is one of the most pristine places left in Aldermark, but that does not make it safe. The forest does not care for intruders, and the Legion are only marginally better than their undead counterparts in the eyes of those things that call the forest home.

When the Chosen of the Moon Goddess Nyx faced the undead Cinder King, he Broke her, as he has Broken so many of the Chosen. The moon shattered and fell from the sky. A huge fragment of it lies in the Talgon Forest, and such a powerful and holy relic would be invaluable in the war.

Put a team together, choose your unit, and go and fetch it.

70s Horror Movie Descendants go to College!

Facilitator: 
Jamie Sands

A reboot of the wildly popular* game from several years ago.

It's the first day of college and you're moving into a shared apartment in a dormitory with people you don't even know!
Sure, you have your secrets, but you can absolutely start afresh and no one has to know you're not a normal kid raised in a normal suburban house. Maybe you're the antichrist, maybe you have psychic powers, maybe you have weird abilities others would freak out about, but not to fear! You're in university now, it'll be totally fine.

You're the Gen Z progeny of some people who had wild adventures in the 1970s. Fans of films like The Wicker Man, The Omen, Carrie, Halloween, Rosemary's Baby and so on will have a blast.

Using the Monster of the Week system, this motley crew of misfits will face a bizarre mystery that blends modern horror with something a little more camp and classic.
