The Electrum Archive - Entering Titan Port
The Electrum Archive
1 session
Spots open
“On Orn the pauper dreams of a liquid, black as starless night. The power of gods, distilled into midnight ink.” The Electrum Archive is a science-fantasy TTRPG inspired by the worlds of The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, Dark Sun, Caves of Qud, and Ultraviolet Grasslands. It uses simple core rules to quickly get you started playing without prior knowledge. The game is set on the world of Orn, a place long ago abandoned by an alien race now known as the Elders. The magical ink left behind in the shipwrecks of these ancient aliens is now used as currency and inhaled by warlocks as fuel for their spell casting. Adventurers called inkseekers venture out into the decaying world beyond the cities ruled over by scheming Merchant Houses to look for Elder artifacts and ink. We will be running a one-shot inside the great city of Titan port. No prior knowledge is required, everyone is welcome to join! Third times the charm, let's finally play some TEA!
A Name Once Sullied...
My Chivalric Bromance
1 session
Spots open
Exiled from your home you find yourself in a far-away realm, where you sustain yourself by doing odd jobs befitting a knight. Danger lurks everywhere and in many shapes. Will you be able to retain the last shreds of your knightly virtues or will your reputation be besmirched forever? My Chivalric Bromance is a game about queer and thirsty knights and their companions, outlawed, exiled, and banished to wander as strangers in strange lands. Content warning: Romance, longing looks, (un)fulfilled desires, kissing, possibly violence Safety tools: Lines and Veils and the X-card
Outbreak
Trophy Gold
1 session
Outbreak is an incursion for Trophy Gold inspired by the golden age of survival horror video games, shifting the focus from treasure hunting to the horrors that befall Gateway City in the year 2003. In this incursion, you play as survivors, otherwise normal folks who get caught up in a horrible event who are just trying to make it out alive. Let's kit bash old-school OSR and a story game inspired approach with a love letter by the author to Resident Evil 2! Trophy is a tabletop roleplaying game of dark forests, doomed treasure-hunters, and a world woven on a loom of rumor, history, and myth. Trophy Gold adapts and expands the base rules of Trophy Dark for old school, campaign-style play. Content Warning: This incursion is heavily based around the concept of a viral outbreak, but also features elements of graphic violence and body horror. More on Trophy Gold: https://trophyrpg.com/
