Game: A Slip in Riverside Drive
System: Demon: The Descent (nWoD, if I'm getting my editions straight - it's the one with a god machine)
Format: Roll20 (possibly + hangouts)
Players: 3-4

A paint job on the How An Angel Dies chronicle from the D:tD core book. You were a biomechanical monstrosity that gained sentience and is now hunted by your creator and former brethren. Fortunately, you're undercover as a human. Another such demon has been murdered (not an easy thing to accomplish). Pursue those responsible through time and space before they do the same to you, or worse. And if you can manage to put a finger in God's eye in the process? All the better.

Jesus! Jesus Christ! Say his name! Jesus! Jesus! Come down now!

Game: Storm's Wake, 1962
System: Hunter: The Vigil (w/ Mortal Remains rules update)
Players: 3
Format: Discord or Roll20, depending on how players want to go.

In March 1962, a great storm batters the east coast, leaving the old and quiet village of Port Of Queen Anne, Maryland stranded temporarily from the outside world and disrupting the fishing trade that supports its life. The next night, a young couple from respectable families are found dead in a field, under grisly circumstances.

You are of one of the village's hunter families, trained from adolescence to defend it from the strange and horrific things that have always predated upon man. The signal fires have been lit, and you have been called.

We are down by oneTWO so if anyone wants to jump in, now's your chance! We've had one session, the summary of which is posted on the top of page 2. Come stand against a vengeful ghost on a rural island of strange and occult customs! Choose one of three hunting families to originate from, each with their own innate strengths and ties to the land and one another. Post in the thread if interested! We'll have a short session this Thursday.

Jesus! Jesus Christ! Say his name! Jesus! Jesus! Come down now!

Game: Chariot of the Gods
System: Alien RPG (pre-release)
Format: TBD, most likely through Discord as text or audio.
Players: 3-5
Description:

quote:

You are working stiff stationed on the starfreighter USCSS Montero, an independent charter vessel running “the Gauntlet”— the trade route between the thriving Anchorpoint Space Station and the "Frontier" of systems both colonized and uncharted. Your ship’s cargo hold is packed with dozens of tanks of rare and valuable Helium-3 gas fuel. The Montero's operation runs on a shoestring budget, and so you do not enjoy the use of tanker modules separate from the ship itself. The tanks sit in the cargo bay while you sleep.

You are to deliver this fuel to a Weyland-Yutani corporate account on Sutter, a newly established Frontier colony. Aside from the occasional external sensor glitch, all systems were green during the pickup run, and you entered hypersleep for the ride back.

Stiff and groggy, you awake in your cramped cryosleep pod. You're ready to get this job done and get paid. And so you rise for your first breakfast in months.

I will be providing copies of the quickstart to players - For this quickstart module, you'll have your pick of prefab characters.

Jesus! Jesus Christ! Say his name! Jesus! Jesus! Come down now!

Game: Unscheduled Stop
System: PBTA Black Stars Rise
Format: PbP with Discord
Players: 3
Description:

quote:

November, 2002. The overnight express bus from Denver to Grand Junction, CO, deep in the Rockies, is almost empty. Most of the eight passengers had room to stay clear of one another initially. But something has changed. It's just before midnight, and the bus has pulled off of I-70 in the deep mountains somewhere beyond Vail pass and the ski towns. They have parked for gas at a truck stop.

It has been almost forty minutes since the driver walked into the station; the passengers are getting anxious, maybe nervous. Some get up from their seats to peer out the bus windows.

All the lights of the truck stop go out at once. It is suddenly very quiet.

Jesus! Jesus Christ! Say his name! Jesus! Jesus! Come down now!

Game: The Hand Follows The Eye
System: The Zone
Format: There is a free hosted online version of the game which is pretty slick. Here's a Discord for organizing.
Players: 1-5, plus me.
Session Schedule: I'm open to playing in sessions on Fridays after 4 PM PST, or on Saturdays beginning at 11 AM PST. Up to two hours per session.
Description: A game of the Zone is basically Annihilation as a card-driven story game (think The Quiet Year with a little bit more meat). There is a (you guessed it) zone of strange and sinister physics / metaphysics, and the player characters have been assembled to investigate it. You are the 14th expedition. What happened to the previous thirteen, no one knows.

This will be my first run with the system, so we'll go with the default game. If it turns out to play well, I'll likely be making my own hack to reflect something like Bloodborne instead of Annihilation.
