Format: Roll20 + Skype or Hangouts (whichever works better for everyone)
Time: Thursdays at 8:30 PM (Up to Negotiation)
Genre: Fantasy, Dungeon Crawling
Description: In the previous age, the Wizard King rained supreme. Now, he wastes away in the graves as the King of the Lich. From his time as king, he came into possession of forbidden artifacts and knowledge. One of these is the Crown of Scorne. Only those who wear this crown may find an even greater treasure: a city of gold that was lost to the ages. The King still holds the crown and keeps it in his kingdom of decay.

You are a collection of brave fools who wish to find this city. Perhaps you seek the endless gold it holds. Perhaps you are a scholar looking to have their names put into the history books. Or, perhaps, you have another reason to venture. Regardless, you know what you desire and, clearly, are willing to go far to acquire it.

Game: Adventures in Gardening
System: Summerland
Type: PBP
Players: 4-6

Slightly modified Summerland game set in near-future not-Chicago where the Sea of Leaves is more like a couple of ponds at the moment, but grows with each passing day. And the military blockaded the roads out of the city. And weird communes full of people affected by the Call who may not be feral but are decidedly different are popping up. One part wonder-filled slice-of-life, (very possibly) one part survival horror.

An Important Person(tm) is throwing a grand celebration, and you've been hired to take advantage of the clamor and crowds to 'procure something important'. To put it another way, to swipe an important treasure from under everyone's nose and (hopefully) make a clean getaway. How it actually turns out? We'll just have to play to find out.

A plague kills 99.9% of all people. You are one of the survivors. Expect intra-group conflict, tough moral decisions, long-term characters, and whatever direction you want to take this group in. Conquer other survivors and found a proto-state? Why not! Create a peaceful farming settlement and try to get the electricity back on? OK! Bicker endlessly and never really accomplish much until you're enslaved by outlanders? Probably!

We started with nothing and after a few encounters we have a cosmopolitan city, mutant plants, lost druidic civilizations, and conspiracies against elven economic hegemony.
