Game: Mage: the Ascension, 20th Anniversary Edition

Time: Oneshot, Thursday, 4 April 2024, 19:00 (with option to join a regular group playing other games)

Type: Voice

Game Tech: Discord for voice, Roll20 for everything else

Capacity: 3/5

Join us for our very non-serious, April fools-themed oneshot, where a rouge chantry-turned-criminal gang attempts to steal a strain of Marijuana from a Technocracy base. The game takes place in 2008, in Cincinnati, starting out in a shared apartment above a Papa John's.

I have never ran mage before (I'm pranking myself, see?), nor have any of the existing players, we have no idea what we're doing, and I think most of us like it that way. You're free to join if you're a new player, most of us are.

ST Seeks Successor for Changeling: the Dreaming Game

• System: Changeling the Dreaming, 20th Anneversary Edition
• Time: 2PM EST
• Weekday: Friday
• Current Tech: Discord (Roll Bot) + Mr Gone's sheets.

Hi! I'm looking for a successor ST for my "Doofy Kids' Movie"-themed C20 game. The whole thing was meant as a oneshot, but I realised there could be potential in this sort of game, and decided to make it a reacurring game instead. Eventually, due to a tangled web of various descisions, I accidentally wound up making a player character. After about 5ish games, I realised I was simultaneously playing the role of both player, and Storyteller, and I've decided to try to focus on being the former, as I'd prefer to keep my priorities clean with running my other game well, rather than having two games and three roles to juggle plates with.

The game is notable for starting with a restriction for character creation in that only the Childling seeming is allowed. I wanted a game focussing on the sort of wacky hijinks one would see in media like The Goonies, or Spy Kids (my PC even started out as a stereotypical bully character, but everyone liked him too much).

I'll try my hardest to answer any questions you'll have about running this game, but rest assured, I've already got a foundation of characters and ideas you can draw from.

I'm looking for players for a weekly game of Fate. I'm thinking something like a mix of Shadowrun and World of Darkness, where the players are vigilantes looking to make the world better. It would start (and maybe stay) at the street level, rather than global or cosmic.

I've been playing and running games for 20+ years.

LGBT friendly. New players okay. Unreliable players less so.

Message me if you're interested. Include a blurb about yourself, your experience with games, with fate specifically, and a joke of your choosing.

Looking for 4-6 players for an online game taking place in a dedicated Discord server where voice chat is not required but is definitely recommended as the music bot will be an important storytelling tool.

The game does not use any particular system as the story I want to tell as well as the setting it takes place in would fit best in a theatre-of-the-mind environment with occasional contested dice rolls and a simple turn-based combat format with initiative similar to D&D 5e.

This game will be mostly roleplay-oriented to begin with but combat will have great importance later on in the game. It should be noted that I am a relatively new DM, though I have been complimented by my players each time we ran a game like this. Those games only ended due to external circumstances and not due to internal conflict. I like to tell stories, especially with tight-knit groups of friends who want to explore a setting of magic and adventure.

The setting is a near-future alternate timeline of Earth where magic suddenly reveals itself to the world, uniting all of North America to combat what they see as a threat to national security. You will be playing as a group of magic users in a resistance effort to settle the conflict. More details are available if you DM me for them if you like, so feel free to hit me up for more details about the setting. There will be a blend of a variety of fantasy elements ranging from Lovecraft to folklore to fables to Tolkien mixed with a Fallout-esque attitude towards technology and the real world. I prefer to leave real-world politics out of my games.

The games I run are LGBTQ+ friendly and medium to light in tone with twinges of some darker themes that will be discussed with the players before encountered before they are of consequence to maximize player enjoyment.

If you would like to sign up or have any questions, hit me up through Reddit DMs or dragon_OS on Discord.

In late 2021, the world was forever changed when supernatural forces from cultures around the globe revealed themselves to humanity. While it initially caused great deals of conflict, the world settled into an uneasy coexistence with these magical beings. Magical creatures were seen as subhuman, or often as outright animals. The entirety of North America united in an attempt to drive out magic from within. But in the year 2025, what was known as The Seal was broken, revealing an entire new continent full of magical creatures that had been hidden from humanity's view for centuries. As the world was halted by this revelation, tensions began to rise. Many feared the unknown, while others saw the opportunity for great discovery and exploration. Borders were redrawn, alliances were made, and the stage was set for a massive conflict between those who sought to control the magic of this new continent and those who sought to explore and learn from it. It is now the year 2027. The fate of this new world and its magic rests in the hands of those brave enough to take up arms and fight for what they believe in.

> "Something's not right with her, I can feel it, there's no way Ms. McDonald is putting all of the weird kids together... You-you think she's planning something?"

It's 2006. You're in elementary school, Detention, specifically, for whatever reason. The rest of the "weird kids" are in here with you. They all seem to have some kind of magic powers, too, and look like something out of a comic book, but only you and them can see them like that. You feel uncomfortable in this room for some reason, it's stifling, you feel like you should try to leave. The rest agree, but Ms McDonald is patrolling the halls, and she doesn't seem to like you very much.

So, yeah, this is a Changeling: the Dreaming oneshot, roughly in the style of something like the Goosebumps TV series without the horror, or a Robert Rodriguez kids' movie (Spy Kids, Shark Boy & Lava Girl), mixed in with a little bit of the gloomyness of the rest of the World of Darkness setting.

If you have never played Changeling: the Dreaming before, you play as different faerie "Kiths", like the shapeshifting Pooka, or industrious Boggan. The game itself, in comparison to other World of Darkness games (Vampire: the Masquerade, Werewolf: the Apocalypse) is a lot less focussed themewise, and has a general fantasy bent, which I feel makes it a perfect introduction to the WoD for those familiar with D&D.

Times

For this game, I am running 2 different games at 2 different times, you can sign up for both, or for either.

Software

This will take place over Discord, with potentially owlbear rodeo for maps, and we will me using Mr Gone's form fillable PDFs for character sheets.

Closed

We are now ENTIRELY full, I never thought we'd get to this many people!

Filled

Serpentine swords are curved. Curved!

SYSTEM: Swords of the Serpentine PLATFORM: Foundry VTT (if I manage to hack it, if not some other solution) and Discord for voice TIME: Fridays at 19:00 CET (1PM EST, 10AM PST), and for about 3½-4 hours CAMPAIGN START: September 1st APPLICATIONS: Let me know if you are interested and we'll take it from there SAFETY TOOLS: Lines and Veils, X-card and others if desired DESCRIPTION: Swords of the Serpentine is a Gumshoe Sword and Sorcery system set in and around the city of Eversink. It is "a game of investigation, heroism, sly politics, and bloody savagery, set in a fantasy city rife with skulduggery and death".

This will be a somewhat short campaign, around 10 or so sessions. I have pretty much no experience with Gumshoe so this can go horribly wrong. Or horriblyfun. We'll begin with the "official" cases and wrap it up with something I manage to conjure. Of course we will begin with a session of character creation and setting talk.
