Sore Must be the Storm- Hayley Emmons
When you started your senior year of high school, you expected school dances, college applications, and the teenage miasma that swamps every high school. You’ll be getting all of that, but you’ll also be getting a talking pigeon who gives you magical powers and tells you that you’re the only ones who can defeat the strangely familiar villains popping up all around town.
A magical girl (gender neutral term!) adventure about finding hope, yourself, and–if you’re lucky!–a date to homecoming.
Freedom’s Fight – Megan Walker
Are you ready to join the Rebellion?
On the high fantasy continent of Edinose, the future of the powerful nation of Bakianna hangs in the balance. For centuries, the aristocracy have enacted harsh draconian laws and levied taxes on its citizens. So the people fought back. First, regions splintered off to gain independence. When that became impossible, revolutionaries rose to tear down the oppressors only to be halted by the military. But only for a few more decades. Six years ago the King of Bakianna was assassinated, leaving the nobility to squabble amongst themselves and the Rebellion to grow once more with hope.
Until yesterday, when the most ruthless noble and adversary of the Rebellion, the Lord of Ellmeta City, declared himself the new King of Bakianna. With no aristocracy powerful enough to openly oppose him, he will be crowned in two weeks unless he can be stopped. But that job will not fall to you – freedom fighter, hired mercenary, ally’s spy, or who-so-else you maybe. To enact a successful coup, the Rebellion needs information and the task of gathering this is yours.
Beware though, your fight for freedom will not be an easy path, as you traverse a nation that has cultivated the worst traits of humanity. Will you rise to the challenge? Freedom, yours and all those you love, hangs in the balance.
Brindlewood Bay – Abigail Tadlock
In the cozy seaside New England town of Brindlewood Bay, you are a group of elderly women enjoying your solo retirement and golden years. You find comfort and companionship at your weekly murder mystery book club, Murder Mavens. When a series of strange murders strike the town, you decide to put your literature detective skills to a real-life test! But are these seemingly unrelated murders truly independent, or are they a symptom of a deeper, darker conspiracy at play? Will you emerge unscathed from your encounters with a mysterious cult, or will you become lost to the Void?
The mysteries in this game are open-ended, and the GM is not leading you towards a specific solution. You will investigate, question suspects, and find clues. At the end of a mystery everyone collaboratively determines a narrative of what went down, based on the clues found, with some dice rolls thrown in. Think of the flashback scenes in many murder mystery movies!
The Grand Exploration Corporation – Meg Loveless
Welcome to the Lands™, a small continent with six diverse cities and many more forbidden ruins (or tourist locations, if you’re not a coward). On the list of concerning events taking place in the Lands™ are: the knights of the Circle of the Flame razing town after town in the name of “stamping out all evil”, the concerning lack of mages in the majority of the north, and the recent migration of the Monster Hunter’s Guild to the capital city Liegheswest, leaving the rest of the world defenseless, as well as a number of smaller struggles throughout the world.
But that’s not any of your business! You’re the lucky party of adventurers (problem-solvers?) hired by the Grand Exploration Corporation to figure out why the miners in Dragon Cairn are on strike, and to make it stop. From there, who knows what you’ll accomplish? Perhaps you’ll solve all the world’s problems, or perhaps you’ll simply make them worse. It’s just a typical day in the life of an adventurer.
Hoard of the Dragon Queen- Abigail Whiting
A mysterious cult is gathering treasure for unknown reasons, and have been causing chaos all around the sword’s coast. You and a group of your friends have been tasked by the council of waterdeep to put an end to this threat. As secrets are revealed and your past comes back to haunt you, do you have what it takes to save the sword’s coast?
Wizard 101 – Peregrine Whitney
Welcome to Strixhaven, Firsties! The campus spreads before you, singers wrapped in floating fuchsia gauzes, complicated formulas shimmering in the air, and the magic of developing minds and personalities. Admittedly, the ever-changing stairwells and distinctive college personalities can be daunting, but never fear. There are always students more than willing to help.
This will be a game geared toward beginning players, no prior experience assumed. We’ll learn together in a low-stress environment and introduce you to the fun of playing dnd! (You don’t have to play a Wizard.)
