Just outside the edge of town, beneath a moonless sky, something stirs in the shadows of The Night Market — a strange and secretive bazaar where dreams, memories, and body parts are the accepted currency. For years, both the living and the undead have walked its mist-shrouded stalls in uneasy harmony, protected by ancient laws and powerful enchantments.

But now, something is unraveling. Whispers tell of violence on the outskirts — not just against the living, but against prominent figures of the undead. A wealthy lich merchant has vanished, leaving his magical wares behind. Lola, the banshee who cries people’s dreams aloud, is gone. And the rules that once kept the peace seem... fractured.

You've been hired — or perhaps bound — to uncover the truth. Together with a band of unusual allies, both breathing and beyond, you must navigate the web of secrets, illusions, and twisted bargains that hold The Night Market together. But beware: not all puzzles can be solved, and not all games are meant to be won.

Will you uncover the source of the darkness creeping into the market? Or become part of its wares?

Two rival spymasters know the secret identities of 25 agents. Their teammates know the agents only by their codenames — single-word labels like disease, Germany, and carrot. Yes, carrot. It's a legitimate codename. Each spymaster wants their team to identify their agents first...without uncovering the assassin by mistake.

In Codenames, two teams compete to see who can make contact with all of their agents first. Lay out 25 cards, each bearing a single word. The spymasters look at a card showing the identity of each card, then take turns clueing their teammates. A clue consists of a single word and a number, with the number suggesting how many cards in play have some association to the given clue word. The teammates then identify one agent they think is on their team; if they're correct, they can keep guessing up to one more than the stated number of times; if the agent belongs to the opposing team or is an innocent bystander, the team's turn ends; and if they fingered the assassin, they lose the game.

Spymasters continue giving clues until one team has identified all of their agents or the assassin has removed one team from play.

“Scooter! Scooter!”

The diminutive stage manager looked up to see Fozzie Bear rumbling up to him. “Scooter, we have to get the gang together!”

Scooter flipped a page on his clipboard absentmindedly. “Isn’t it you and Kermit who usually get the gang together? What’s going on?”

Fozzie gulped and explained: “Well, you know how Sesame Street got cancelled and Kermit went to offer them a space atHenson Studios? That went really well, but as we were heading home, we came across these three weird Muppets, and they called Kermit a king, and Kermit has been acting really strange ever since.

Scooter turned toward Fozzie and lowered his clipboard. “Fozzie, it’s really important that you tell me exactly what the weird Muppets said.”

Fozzie looked up, looking for memories in the air. “Ok, let’s see. They were all standing around a big pot, and they each spoke in turn…

“Hail Kermit, thane of the Muppets”

“Hail Kermit, thane of Sesame Street”

“All Hail Kermit, that shall be king hereafter”

Scooter sighed. “Ok, Here’s the plan. You go get the gang together. I need to find someone who’s not a man born of woman, and someone who knows how to move a forest. I just hope there’s some way out of this without losing our favorite frog.”

Not too far in the post-cataclysm future, the checkered flag will be dropped for a perilous death rally. The desert racing grounds are within the dusty limits of an abandoned shantytown known as Wayside. Many gaslanders consider this lonely town haunted by the spirits of fallen drivers and gunners, and to speak its name aloud is to foolishly invite ill omens.

The bloodthirsty masses will witness this drone-televised event with an insatiable desire for speed, violence and mayhem, ghosts be damned. Two teams of condemned combat drivers will face off in a gladiatorial-style battle-race, infamously known as the Wayside Death Rumble. The victors of this conflict will revel in full criminal pardons, fortune and glory, while the losers will suffer public televised executions via firing squad, guillotine or ravenous dog pit.

It is the zenith of the Dominion War, and the loss of life is catastrophic. However, a provisional cease-fire has been reached. At the historic site of Camp Khitomer, peace talks soon begin between the Federation, the Klingon Empire, the Romulan Star Empire and the Dominion.

A restricted escort of starships from each faction has transported their representative entourages to the conference. As per accord terms, all ships must then withdraw to the boundary of Khitomer’s solar system before the talks commence.

The summit has been shrouded in absolute secrecy, yet somehow the Borg Collective is aware. As the last escort ship takes position, a transwarp conduit appears on the edge of the system, a fleet of Borg vessels emerging from the aperture, on course straight for Planet Khitomer. If the ambassadors, high-ranking military and faction leaders are assimilated, the devastation that will follow will be immeasurable.

The Borg must be stopped by any and all means possible.

GM: Les Child
Type: RPG

Players: 7
Power Level: Beginning
Variations: House Rules
Rules Knowledge: Experience Useful
Game Content: Mature Themes

You're farmers kids. Raised to do chores and help with the running of the household. But today, you're adventurers. Six of the mightiest bravos to ever wield a stick (sword or mace), a long stick (lance) or even a rock. No scarecrow was a match for your band of heroes. But this day would end as no other. As the sunlight faded from the sky, it was time to head back to your village for supper. But as you crest the hill, you see your village, your homes, in ruins. Houses smoldering, livestock either dead or wandering, and bodies lying in the dirt road. Only the stone building that was the town hall remains standing. You stand for a moment, shocked by this sight, before rushing into town, shouting the names of your parents and siblings.

It was perhaps an hour later when you all gathered at the town hall, faces tear streaked and filthy, the blood of family slaughtered on your hands.

“They're gone, all of them.”

As one, you push against the door of the town hall, shoving aside furniture that was stacked up against it from the inside. Near the back you find Consular Evin the town leader. He sits on the floor, a black arrow protruding from his stomach, “so they didn't get you kids. Good. I thought myself safe until one got a bowshot through a high window at me.” His voice was ragged, and blood leaked from his mouth as he spoke, “they are the Black Avatar, marauders from the lands south. They are without mercy or conscience.”

“I'm done for, but perhaps you can mete out some justice for our people, or find someone who will.”

Consular Evin pulled a key on a leather string around his neck and tried to pull it over his head. He sat back, exhausted, “cut the damn thing and take the key to the basement. You'll have to move some desks to find the hatch. There are weapons and items you can use that were confiscated from criminals.”

He slumped sideways, his eyes barely open, “get justice or vengeance. Either will do.”

And with that message, the consular died, leaving six tired youths to contemplate what to do next.

Game Content: Mature Themes

Follow is a rules-light, GM-less collaborative storytelling RPG about a fellowship and a quest. We will collectively choose a quest template, ranging from slaying a powerful monster to discovering the cure to a disease to electing a candidate to office. Then, we create characters in our fellowship and play out scenes where we define obstacles in our quest and attempt to resolve them.

Follow is suitable both for players with extensive roleplaying experience and players who have never played a role-playing game before. It is easy to learn and easy to play, while allowing for both substantial narrative freedom and a satisfying story arc. I usually run this game as a “writer’s room” where players can seamlessly alternate between author/narrator and character. In-character roleplaying is not required, but players must be prepared to “yes-and”, share the spotlight, and collaboratively tell a story. While this game is NOT a crunchy, combat-focused “traditional” RPG, there may be Mature Themes.

Every year it seems the winters get worse. The grey skies show up sooner, banishing the fading sun with gently falling snow. The winds blow just a bit harsher, their teeth biting more easily through wool and fur that so easily used to keep them at bay. It takes longer for the icy grip to loosen on the land, letting desperate farmers out into the fields to sow the crops that will keep bellies full and famine at bay.

Or maybe not. Maybe things have always been this way and the quiet grumbling rumors are just the old-folks way of imagining how good everything used to be. After all, the flowers still bloom year after year. The potatoes, wheat, and barley still grow and nourish the land. The sun still shines, making its way undaunted past the clouds when they pass. Maybe the grim tidings mean as little as they always have. And true or not, tonight is the winter Solstice, the night to celebrate.

Tonight is the darkest night before the dawn. When the sun rises above the treetops tomorrow, summer will begin to slowly creep in and claw back the days. Tonight marks another year survived, and the turning of the tide in this season’s fight against the cold. What better reason to toast? What better reason for King and Queen, Honor and Belief Gholi to throw the grandest midwinter party in all the land on the Frell Family’s Concerto, a trade ship transformed for the evening into a veritable Floating Palace? Guests and representatives from all the most important noble families have shown up to schmooze, gain advantage, find love, and more than anything else enjoy being alive on the longest night of the year.

Or you might pull one of the "bad" cards and find yourself suddenly in charge of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, desperately trying to arrange a rental of the Volga Water Works before the plant explodes, showering adjacent properties with radioactive fallout.
