Diverse heroes gather to defeat danger and injustice in all its forms.
The Mayor calls on them for help. Someone close to him is in trouble. More than that, the perpetrators are a menace to the whole city…
Catch the bad guys. Prevent casualties. And wow the crowd.
In this game we are not obsessed with cannon.
You can adopt a known character, or create your own.
Have you noticed how many games go really well for the first scene. Often this continues to the second scene, but it can start to slow down.
It can be a challenge to keep going. If you are still going strong past scene 4, you might make the shortlist for a Nobel prize.
So this story is constructed for just two scenes. We can have all the usual enthusiasm of building our characters and starting the game, and tell our tale in two scenes.
Of course, if things go well we can add in a third scene.
Just imagine it - a Storium game that goes the distance instead of running out of steam!

In a realm where myths collide and chaos reigns supreme, the gods are tired of being stuck in their own pantheons. Thor, in a fit of boredom, accidentally smashes Yggdrasil’s roots with Mjölnir, creating a cosmic bridge that blends the realms of Asgard, Olympus, and beyond. Now, Zeus is challenging Thor to a lightning-off, Hades is bartering with Loki for some “chaos tips,” and Ares is arm-wrestling Freya over who gets to claim the title of “Best Badass.”
But the balance of power has been shattered, and monstrous forces from the underworlds are slipping through the cracks. It’s up to you to choose your hero (or misfit) from the pantheon of gods, demigods, and mortals, then forge alliances, cause some divine-level havoc, and maybe—just maybe—save existence from imploding in a blaze of hilarious, mythological madness.
The fate of the cosmos? It’s in your chaotic hands.
This one is for the writers, encouraging longer form moves from your creativity. Be a remix version of a classic hero.

Chat to me in the lobby if you like Star Wars or Doctor Who and I can direct you to those games!
I would want any player to tell me if I need to adjust to increase their access or inclusion.
Join them, as a tactician, specialist, investigator or warrior! (Or scientist, diplomat…)
You are keen for adventure, and this ship offers the opportunity to get out there and explore the Universe.
And now more than ever - the 𝕊𝕥𝕒𝕣𝕣𝕚𝕕𝕖𝕣 has exposed a threat from another galaxy using advanced travel technology - pirates are crossing over. And what once looked like mere criminally is starting to look like a much bigger invasion threat…
This is a sequel to previous adventures, but you do not need to read the earlier games or have knowledge of them. Everything you need will be within the narratives and challenges. No homework, I promise.
Cypreece, a cyborg freedom fighter of some renown, is determined to seek out the wicked and corrupt where-ever he finds them.
And right now he has assembled a crew that is good at finding trouble… and sometimes getting out of it.
They have a powerful starship, and an assortment of fighter craft.
Officially you are after the rogue ships. But sometimes to really bring justice you need to go after the rogue lawyers, the corrupt politicians, the faces behind the faceless corporations….
Our heroes have their sights on space pirates… but now they seem to have found interlopers from another dimension, or at least another Galaxy… this could be their most dangerous mission yet…

A fully inclusive sci-fi game for Newcomers (and anyone else who wants to join in).
I try to have a range of games to land on, including some that are in progress so you really can jump right in - message me if you want to find something!
Bexja
Be any character you like appropriate to a sci-fi environment. There are some character cards to give you an idea, but you are free to make your own. My one request - don’t make them too wacky or too powerful. They are not as much fun as you’d expect.
Its easy to join or leave as you wish. The idea is each character has solo adventures at first, maybe meeting other PCs later. This way, you are free to join mid-game and move at your own pace.
A terrible disease had broken out amidst many space colonies.
The solution had been to send characters far out in pods - far away from each other. Those who succumbed would remain in their pods and not spread the virus. Those who were still well after the quarantine period were allowed out, where they would explore where-ever they were, looking for a place to live, resources - and seeking in due course to meet up with other survivors…

Golems and Trolls! |

| View Game |
Underlying story with a lot of scope for player story-telling.
This is intended to be a fast game, for players who want to get on with it. We will start as soon as we have some characters, and new players will be welcome to join as we go.
New players welcome - and as such, when I say it is fast, that is the broad aim, but we will go at the pace of the players. Have a go and I will guide you - or ask questions in the lobby (or PM me)
It is a fantasy theme in a unique game universe with no canon to worry about. Spell-casting, diplomacy and adventure. A proper story but not too serious with scope for humour.
The Land is called Pucia. Pronounced Puck-ia by the Birdfolk and Puce-ia by the Glass Golems. The Rubber Trolls call it Puke-ia.
After a time of uneasy peace, tensions have risen between the Glass Golems and the Rubber Trolls is on the verge of breaking out. As a player, you have the opportunity to shape huge amounts of the back story and the way magic works in this land.

Tinselfall: A Most Peculiar Advent |
|
| View Game |
It’s Christmas!
All is well in Tinselfall.
It could almost be a Hallmark family movie…
A sleepy Hallmark-perfect Christmas town finds itself locked inside a “story bubble”—a reality behaving exactly like a cheesy holiday movie.
Players can be villains trapped in a world that won’t let them be villainous, peaceful townsfolk who sense something is “off,” or interlopers with their own goals.
At first everything is wholesome and saccharine… but each day of Advent introduces a fissure. The movie’s invisible rules start to glitch. Festive perfection begins slipping into uncanny weirdness, then full-on horror—zombies, elves, malfunctioning tropes—before swinging wildly back toward heartwarming resolutions.
The town must survive the loop, discover who is controlling the script, and restore Christmas before the story collapses.
You can play a (would-be) villain, or perhaps just someone new to town with an enquiring mind. You could even be a Christmas elf, if you wanted…
What you will find in this world is that… everything leans towards a sweet, wholesome Christmas. Want to do something devious? You find it all just adds to the greater good. Wandering down the street with big pointy ears and green skin? No-one notices a thing….
How can I put this…Imagine Last Action Hero, where some things are just inevitable due to the genre of the movie you’re in. Think WandaVision, where everything seems so idyllic… until you being to think its a bit… off

Sibling Warfare |
|
| View Game |
Modern day. Focus on writing story, especially witty banter, character development and backstory.
Every day is the same.
You get home, your jealous siblings have a pop at you. Asking where you have been. Accusing you of being involved in the latest scandal.
But you’re on top of it now. Each evening you come up with a ridiculous story to explain circumstances, wind them up, lay a false trail…take them down.
I would want any player to tell me if I need to adjust to increase their access or inclusion.
All my games are fully inclusive
This story is constructed for just one scene. We can have all the usual enthusiasm of building our characters and starting the game, and tell our tale in one scene.
Of course, if things go well we can add in a second or even a third scene.
The story explores the themes of creativity, humour, sibling relationships, and controlling behaviour.

The Corner Not Turned |
|
| View Game |
Modern day with mood of the past - focus on writing story, especially character development and backstory. Mystery.
In this game, you create a rounded character with a past. I have not put up any cards - you are free to make your own from scratch. Feel free to reach out for help.
This is what happens. Your character turns a corner they have never explored before, and finds themselves in a quaint village. You have a choice - you can either stay at the local inn/hotel as a visitor, or you find a home / suitable small shop that feels like you belong to it, and immediately you feel you have belonged there for ever; but at the same time, you are finding out about the other characters.
The story then unfolds as you reveal your character’s back-story, but also interact with other characters (PCs and NPCs) to reveal theirs.
As narrator, I provide the setting, some NPCs and the prompts, and I keep the whole thing going. But in terms of building your back story - that is all for you!
This is a good way to explore Storium, and I will help as much as you need. Bear in mind though; every story is different, every game, every narrator, every group of players. This will give you a start on how the site technically works, but it is only one glimpse of all the way that system can be, and is, used!

The Two Tone Ghost |
|
| View Game |
Modern day with mood of the past - focus on writing story, especially character development and backstory. Mystery.
All my games are fully inclusive
When a struggling musician purchases a second-hand synth keyboard, they discover an unusual feature. In addition to all the normal voices and mods, a dedicated switch gives the ability to alternate between two different sound settings; a bright and cheerful one, and a haunting, eerie one. Intrigued by the instrument’s unique capability, they decide to incorporate the dual-tone into their music, hoping it will help them stand out in the competitive industry.
However, things start to get weird when they begin to hear strange noises and experience unexplainable glitches during rehearsals. As they delve deeper into the mysterious keyboard’s history, they realise the instrument might have a sinister past. Research leads to the discovery that a previous owner, a music composer named Adam, had died under mysterious circumstances.
They begin to suspect there might be a literal ghost in the machine, as they continue to experience paranormal activity and strange occurrences. With the help of tech-savvy friends, they attempt to unravel the mystery of the two-tone ghost…
As they get closer to the truth, they find themselves in danger, and must use their musical skills to confront a malevolent spirit…
This game is presented as a chance for people new to Storium to get to grips with things and ask questions, as they find their way to additional games.
