As some try their luck in the many casinos of Las Vegas, a group of government agents track the suspicious activity of some purported illegal arms dealers near the Nevada-Arizona border.
Unbeknownst to these sets of people, a terror would be unleashed to those above the surface. Can the threat be neutralized before bad goes to worse?

This fantasy story is about a King who called upon warriors and adventurers to join him in a crusade against the Shadow Lord in Akkaria. Ten years later, the heroes return to Veltaria only to find that the land has changed drastically in their absence. The political situation is unstable, with various factions vying for power, and the heroes must navigate this complex landscape while trying to find their place. At its core, the story explores themes of power, as well as the struggle for control in the various kingdoms and regions of Veltaria. With a diverse cast of characters and a richly detailed world, this story promises adventure, intrigue, and challenging moral questions.

The rightful heir to the throne is Ulvander’s son, Roberne Lack-Hand, but many people — possibly including some or all of the players — have other ideas and plans about who should wield power (either openly or behind the scenes). Whatever happens, the succession is not likely to be peaceful, easy, or free of bloodshed.

George Bernard Shaw said: “Religion is a great force – the only real motive force in the world; but what you fellows don’t understand is that you must get at a man through his own religion and not through yours.”

In this story, characters from various religions talk to people. The goal would be to improve dialogue, build bridges of understanding, and hopefully, help people to learn more about various religions along the way!

Setting:
In a world of cultural and religious diversity, a group of travelers from different faiths embark on a journey, drawn by their shared spiritual yearnings. Along the way, they encounter people from all walks of life - skeptics, the devout, the spiritually curious, and those simply seeking community. As the pilgrims navigate the challenges, they find themselves sharing their beliefs, rediscovering their own faith, and finding unexpected connections with those whose worldviews differ from their own.

Premise:
The characters in Pilgrims of Faith are members of various religious traditions - Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, indigenous faiths, and more. As they travel together, they engage in deep conversations about the meaning of life, the nature of the divine, and the role of religion in an increasingly interconnected world.

Through their interactions with fellow travelers, locals, and others they meet along the way, the characters are challenged to articulate and examine their own beliefs, while also learning about and respectfully engaging with the perspectives of those from different backgrounds. Conflicts and misunderstandings arise, but also opportunities for mutual understanding, empathy, and spiritual growth.

As they navigate these trials, their faith is tested, and they must decide how to best live out their values and beliefs in the face of uncertainty.

Ultimately, Pilgrims of Faith is a story about the power of interfaith dialogue, the search for meaning and community in a diverse world, and the transformative potential of learning from those whose perspectives differ from our own.

Characters:
The player characters will represent a diverse array of realistic religious and spiritual backgrounds, including (but not limited to):

-Buddhist monk or nun
-Confucianism
-Devout Christian missionary
-Hindu priest or priestess
-Indigenous faith healer
-Jainism
-Jewish Rabbi
-Member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
-Shinto shrine maiden
-Sikh activist
-Spiritual seeker with an eclectic, non-denominational practice
-Sufi Muslim mystic
-Taoism
-Zoroastrianism

As the story progresses, these characters will have opportunities to share their faith, engage in respectful debate, and grapple with questions of theology, ethics, and human connection. The narrative will explore how their individual beliefs and practices both unite and divide them, and how they can find common ground in their shared quest for meaning and purpose.

In the end, the players should hopefully learn from each other and develop a deeper appreciation for religious diversity. The characters may work together, strengthening interfaith bonds.

The Comedy Crucible

Being a stand-up comedian is tough. The endless grind of open mics, the rejection, the hecklers - it can wear you down. But when you finally get that big break, that chance to perform on a real stage in front of a real audience, it makes all the struggle worth it.

In this game, you and your fellow players take on the roles of aspiring stand-up comics who have been given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity - a spot in a prestigious comedy festival. The only catch? It’s a winner-take-all competition, and only one of you will walk away with the grand prize: a guaranteed spot opening for a major touring comedian.

As you navigate the high-stakes world of comedy, you’ll need to strive to be funny and find ways to make your act stand out and win over the tough crowd. Will you form alliances, or will the competitive pressure tear your friendships apart? Will you compromise your comedic integrity in pursuit of success, or will you stay true to yourself no matter the cost?

The choices you make, both on and off the stage, will determine whether you come out on top or crash and burn. Are you ready to step into the Comedy Crucible?

(This is a fan fiction of the Ouroboros Wave by Jyouji Hayashi, but just in case you want to play but haven’t read it, I am including in the description some things about the setting)It is the middle of the 22’nd century. Humanity has divided into two groups, the AADD(Artificial Accretion Disk Development association), which have taken humanity to space, and the Terrans, which prefer to stay on earth. Currently, it feels like conflict is going to happen any day now, with both sides waiting for the other to strike. To try to build a little more trust, both Terran and AADD scientists have been put on the same ship. The only problem is that there has been a communications black out, and, though only the AADD scientists know this, but the last message said a war had just started between Terran and AADD.

Now for summary of the Terrans and AADD
Kali: humanity noticed a super small black hole who’s gravitational beams were irregular. They soon discovered it was on a collision with earth, so the AADD built a artificial accretion disk to generate power and redirected it into orbit around Uranus.

Ouroboros: A ring shaped space station built around Kali. Just after it was succesfully built around Kali, a scientist named Graham Chapman tried to modify the stations AI, named Shiva, to sense for signs of alien life. the modifications he made failed, and caused the Shiva to malfunction, almost killing all the people on board. people still use AI, but are warry because of the Ouroboros incident.

Webs: basically a smart phone attached to their wrist. Usually, only AADD wear them because Terrans find body modification taboo, but occasionally a Terran will wear one anyways or rarely wear a modified one that wraps around the wrist like a watch instead of being in the skin. Webs sometimes have a agent program, basically a AI, that was originally designed simply to do tasks like order food, but thanks to it allowing for modification, is now mainly used for talking to people even when they can’t actually talk to you, by making a AI version of them.

AADD:
Was orriginaly made by united nations to save humanity from Kali. But after that, it grew, because people on earth begin to see those who liked space as traitors, and some young researchers where even forcefully deported off world. Over time, AADD has gained it’s own customs and ways of doing things very different than those of Terrans, and that Terrans find difficult to understand. In the AADD, people have responsibilities and functions, but there is no rank or hierarchy. The AADD is a collective of teams. Each team has a functional specialty and is independent, coming together with outher teams as needed. There is a director, but contrary to Terran belief, he doesn’t control the AADD, he mainly helps communication between different teams and negotiations with Terrans. A important sub-group of AADD is the guardians, which act like their police force, though there role is more to protect then make sure people keep laws.

Terrans: they are people who mainly stay on earth. Corporations rule, with the leaders of corporations being like dictators. But the people are fine with it, because they’re used to it. Terrans like apologizing asking for forgivness, a custom AADD members don’t get.

WHAT’S THE TIME?

PLAYTIME.co


Hello. My name is Elliot Ludwig. When you look around at the world today, what one thing do you think it needs more of? I asked around, once. Money, I never have enough. Understanding, I can never get any. Faith, the common man has lost it. Each answer was different… and I could perhaps see some little truth in each. But I think each was also missing something. Something simple. You see, not one of them could muster a smile. A smile is hope. A smile is love. A smile is understanding. And there is nothing more gratifying to my soul than being the reason for a child’s smile. To be the spark that ignites all their hopes and dreams. For it is only through hopes and dreams that we may create a better world. One where our children need not be afraid. One where they are protected. After all, this company and its toys are nothing without them. These children deserve to smile, they deserve to love, and they deserve a safe home. That is why it is with enormous pleasure that as the founder of Playtime Co., I announce… PLAYCARE! Our very own onsite orphanage. But it’s not only that. It’s a school, a playhouse, a place to belong. Our very own ecosystem beneath the surface, dedicated in every inch and detail to ensuring a child’s smile. It’s teachers and counselors, mothers and fathers, until such a time they have all of that in you. May Playcare bring joy, inspiration, and smiles to all who enter these doors. For what gives life its meaning, if not a smile? -Elliot Ludwig (Poppy Playtime: Deep Sleep)


We all know the scary situation the Playtime Co worker found themselves in when they decided to go back to their old place of work. Encountering Huggy Wuggy, Mommy LongLegs, Catnap and many more they began to piece together the horrific truth hidden in the walls of the seemingly innocent facility. However, pieces of the puzzle are still missing.

We know that huge toys of Playtime Co have seen more horrors than anyone. But what are their stories? Who did the toys used to be?

It’s time to find out!

Welcome to the Origins of Playtime Co’s Experiments.

About the story

A bold crew seek out injustice and deal with it beneath the radar and outside of the official agencies. They have a battle-ready spacecraft.

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 is bound to the other side of the galaxy cluster where they believe there is a hub of pirate activity. And the theory is, these may not be pirates from this dimension…

This is a sequel to previous adventures, but you do not need to read the earlier games. I write everything so you get the information you need 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…

War’s like a rich man’s dinner: the gluttons eat until they’re stuffed, then they throw out the scraps for the common man to pick at. The war in the Bleak Lands was no different. The end of the Dark Lord didn’t end the terror he instilled. The Order’s received news that three Heretics — the elite followers of the Dark Lord — have entered Coldrock, presumably to meet for some foul purpose. The Night Watch is strapped keeping riots down and thugs in line, so they’re willing to call in a few favors to get this scum out of their city.

In the heart of an island teaming with cursed forests, hostile mountains, and magical creatures is a valley you call home. Every five years a beast descends on your village. In place of leveling the area and killing everyone, he takes a girl as his captive. The victim never returns.

This is the fifth year.

You’ve sent for outside aid, but whether you’ve been dismissed as inconsequential or they don’t want to get involved, no one has ever come. If this tyranny is to be stopped it must come from the pig herders, thatchers, and farmers among you.

There are ancient forces at work here. In trying to uncover them, you risk body, mind, and soul. But the cycle has gone on far too long and you will be sure to break it. Even if it’s the last thing you do.
