    MCUS: Capes in the Dark 03
    Jun 30 2025
    Capes in the Dark is a game about super-powers and the effect they have on a community of people. In this game, you’ll play as a team of “capes” (people with super powers) trying to navigate the ever-shifting network of alliances and expectations that tie together your friends, families, comrades, and enemies. You’ll make dangerous bargains and get out by the skin of your teeth, fight for what you believe and get hurt in the process, bond with your teammates and compete with insidious rivals, and see heroes become villains and villains become heroes.

    -----------------------------------

    This game is set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe! Don't worry if you haven't watched anything more than the Avengers movies and maybe a few others, we're using the MCU as our backdrop to tell a story together.

  • SWS: HyperspaceD6 - Tapani 10

    SWS: HyperspaceD6 - Tapani 10
    Jun 28 2025
    Step into the era of the New Republic, where the Empire may be defeated, but its remnants still lurk in the shadows, and the galaxy is far from at peace. You and your team are about to embark on a high-stakes journey through the Tapani Sector - a system where the gilded halls of noble houses clash with the gritty starports full of rogues, smugglers, and daring pilots. This is a place of glamour and deception, where every handshake hides a dagger and every smile could spell betrayal.

    As members of a small cell of New Republic operatives, you will take on missions to hasten the downfall of the Imperial Remnant in the Tapani sector, traveling between worlds where you're needed most. With Imperial patrols on high alert, noble houses pulling strings for political gain, and backroom deals driving every decision, each mission comes with risk and the promise of rewards and freedom for the downtrodden - if you can pull it off.

  • Silent Falls - Two Summers (7 of 7)

    Silent Falls - Two Summers (7 of 7)
    Jun 24 2025
    The teens finally talk about what Remy had been holding for Jenny, and that encounter with the Mud Witch in the library not enough excitement for her Kira sneaks into the Monteiro mansion...
    Terry also helps out at a gig, with encouragement and some help from the others.

    *****

    Two Summers is a game of sunny adventures and light drama across two timelines by Côme Martin. We'll be using the supplement Other Summers - which means that our adventures will have less sunshine (as befits Silent Falls).

    In this game, players take the role of characters living an adventure during two different time periods, freely alternating between adolescence and adulthood. These are light adventures, meaning people can get scared and suffer from sentimental pitfalls but any violent or socially heavy situations should be avoided if possible. Finally, this is a game with no supernatural elements, so as to better appreciate the hidden treasures of mundane summers!

    You'll like this game if you enjoy light drama, sunny adventures and good-hearted nostalgia! Its diceless system is deliberately very simple: you can explain it in a few minutes and its summary fits on a single page, so as to better put a greater emphasis on storytelling and roleplaying.

    Two Summers is by Côme Martin and is available here https://comemartin.itch.io/two-summers
