Bequeathed David Plank, 5 players, 13 Omens
13 Omens is a rules-light modern day horror RPG with mature themes, perfect for veteran and beginner players. It was a rough flight into wine country, battered by turbulence. The tiny airport meant little time was wasted collecting your bags, but the bleak winter weather did little to lift the mood. You’re heading to the parking lot, where a private shuttle awaits to take you home to Salazar Cellars, where you and your siblings have been summoned to hear your father’s will.
He died three days ago from a stroke. Though he was getting on in years, the shock of his death still hasn’t fully registered. His final wishes were explicit: you must be present at the will reading tonight, or forfeit any claim to your inheritance.
Outside, a bitter wind cuts through you as reports of floodwaters closing nearby roads add to your unease. As you board the shuttle, you wonder how many old sibling rivalries have truly faded—and how many are still waiting for you at Salazar Cellars.

Swarmed Jon Jowett, 6 players, Era: Kaiju
In a world of giant monsters (“kaiju”), a tentative unwritten truce has emerged between some of these kaiju and humanity as a whole. The largest kaiju (“alphas”) are so massive and powerful that they cannot be harmed by any normal human weaponry, so they tend to run rampant. This has created a niche for the smaller kaiju (“betas”) – their existence is tolerated by humanity, in exchange for their help in protecting humanity’s cities. However, since kaiju can only communicate through their actions, trust is slow to earn and easily lost.
The great city of Milton Keynes has erected a titanic perimeter wall for protection against ordinary external threats. Recently, they have been subject to wave after wave of attacks by small monsters. These are easily handled, but the local city-protecting kaiju are starting to become restive after several days on high alert.
You will play as this group of city-protecting kaiju. Use your immense powers to defeat the threat facing the city, so that you can finally take a break!

But for you, Otari is home. You grew up playing on the docks, getting lost in the nearby woods, and hearing the fantastical stories of travelers from faraway lands, tales of terrifying dragons and virtuous knights.

Word has begun to spread around Otari that there’s a problem down at the Otari Fishery. Some are saying that some sort of beast is lurking in the basement, feeding on the stores of salted fish. Folks are worried that whatever is eating the fish might get hungry enough to eat the fishers next!
You’ve received a letter from Tamily Tanderveil, the owner of the Fishery. Inside is a desperate plea for help.

What Lies Beneath Lukasz Furmaniak, 6 players, Era: The Chosen
Harbour City – a place of opportunity and wealth. A place where one can make their dreams come true. But wherever there are dreams, there are sure to be nightmares.
Being an investigator in such a place is never easy, though hardly dull. Beyond the glitz and glamour, scandals and mysteries abound. And recently one has come to dominate the headlines – a plague of vanishings, people whisked away without rhyme or reason, with nothing in common. With local law enforcement baffled, many have taken to protecting themselves anyway they can.
Such strange occurrences are nothing new to Harbour City, but never on this scale. Never so indiscriminate. Maybe you’re tired of keeping your head down. Maybe you don’t like being told not to stick your nose where it doesn’t belong. Hell, maybe you just need the money.
Either way, trouble’s knocking on your door.
This session is suitable for both beginners and veterans of the system!
Pre-generated characters will be provided.

Long ago, a society called the Acsie empire ruled many of the worlds in the region known to the Pact World’s as Kazmurg’s Absurdity, or simply “the Absurdity” by explorers and residents alike. This part of space is notoriously difficult to find and navigate because it’s quite literally broken by magic. Getting around requires knowing where you’re going or possessing a physical or virtual map of the place. Recently the Starfinder Society acquired a map of a solitary world in the Absurdity called Oamnil. Initial surveys of this gas giant have already been completed, with the Starfinders discovering numerous moons orbiting the world, all riddled with Acsie ruins.
The Starfinder Society partnered with esteemed local explorer, Greffgo, to scout the ruins on one of these moons. Unfortunately, Greffgo never reported back in. Driven by the worries of an eccentric diviner, a team of Starfinders follow the flight path and exploration route of this lost Starfinder, with the goal of finding him or at least uncovering evidence of his fate.

Starfleet Academy: The Shattered Frontier Suresh Ravendran, 5 players, Star Trek adventures 2e (abridged)
It is 3191, and the hum of the atmospheric processors feels like a countdown. You and your fellow cadets are the first generation to train in an era of true rebuilding. You’ve memorised the blueprints of the Merian class starship, debated the ethics of the Prime Directive in a post-Burn world, and survived the frostbite simulations of the Andorian highlands.
Before you, the massive arch of the holodeck pulses with a soft blue light—a gateway to your final evaluation.
Stafleet has issued a rare directive, bypassing the usual individual placements. This isn’t just a graduation exercise; it’s a desperate talent scout. The Federation’s influence was expanding, but the fleet stretched to its breaking point across the frontier.
The archway flickers and out walk the cadets from the war college, celebrating their success. As the archway flickers and resets, it’s time to see if you and your crew will be fast-tracked to a commission or relegated to drydock duty.
We will be using trimmed Star Trek Adventures 2e rules and pre-gen character sheets. Dice and stationery provided. Beginners to the Star Trek universe and cosplay are warmly welcome around the table!
The Tell Tale Heart Theodore Young, 5 players, Constantinople
Constantinople, the Queen of Cities, the World’s Desire, the centre of the Roman empire! Whilst there take in the Hagia Sophia the grandest church in the world and one of the 7 wonders of Constantinople. Why not marvel at the feat of engineering that is the Great Chain with links the size of a mans arm which spans the Golden Horn and can be raised to prevent ships entering the city’s harbours. Take in the Theban Obelisk and the colossus- an 18 metre high statue of Constantine who’s nose is said to be 9 inches long!
Or if its adventure you’re after, and you’re a carnifex, why not hunt some monsters whilst you’re there! The city is said to teem with ghouls, sirens, vampires, lemures and undying corpses. Stab them with your spatha, blow them up with Greek fire or blast them with magical lighting; the choice is yours. For you are a carnifex: the emperor’s chosen warriors in the fight against the monsters who lurk in the cracks of society. (Unacknowledged of course, the empire denies the very existence of monsters and by extension monster hunters, so don’t go shouting about what you do).
This is a unique system designed by myself developed through extensive playtesting in east London over the last two years. Previously played at UKGE and Dragonmeet.
Shadows of the Abyss Victoria Phillips, 5 players, D&D 5e
The pursuit of work has recently proven elusive for those of adventurous disposition. The sole remaining frontier beckons from the depths of the sea, and this insatiable yearning for exploration compelled you to seek employment in distant Santego, on the shore of Isla Zardia.
As fate would have it, your venture yielded dividends almost immediately, for a lucrative opportunity soon presented itself. The Merchants Guild extends a handsome sum of 4000 gold pieces to probe the curious anomalies that have precipitated the mysterious vanishing of several vessels. The perils posed by pirates, storms, and other enigmatic forces demand the attention of adaptable adventurers rather than mere sailors.
You’ve been given the rest of the day to prepare for your journey. At dawn, the Sundog, a venerable yet resilient galleon, will leave port and chart a coursetoward the waters surrounding Isla Zardia. In your possession is a map provided by the Merchant’s Guild, marking the last known locations of several missing ships—a grim reminder of the ominous unknown awaits.
