When mages are kicked out of their various institutions for practising dangerous magic, they come to the Observatory. Here they can experiment on the forefront of magical technology to further our growth, while keeping the general public safe from their 'mistakes'. As the Meltdown Crew, it is your job to clean up when experiments go wrong.
One day in winter, the alarm is raised from the portal labs. Most likely, they've just summoned a dangerous elemental by mistake again.
This is a 12th level one-shot. We…

Welcome to Porterhouse College! These draughty halls and creaking floors usually give way to exhausted students, but now it's time for the only enjoyable part of the year: the Christmas Gaudy!
The Christmas Gaudy is an opportunity for alumni to come back to their old stopping grounds and have fun, with a week of special (and often bizzare) lectures leading up to one of the most lavish dinners you have ever laid eyes on.
So what if the mumified bodies of the former Masters of the College also attend? It's …

Conspiracy: Take the Crown (CN2)Happy Christmas!! To end Term 1 on a bit of fun, we'll be drafting Conspiracy: Take the Crown!
Buy in: £12 (no pack prizes, but I might provide chocolate or something as this is a bit of fun)
Clearly the crown is up for grabs. Will you claim it?
No more jokes. No more intrigue. For real this time.
The throne no longer sits empty, but deception, danger, and even death await around every corner.
So... How will you plot your way to the throne?
We won't have a formal tournament structure for this (unless we ge…

On The Run is planned to be a D&D campaign taking place within the Greyhawk setting. The players will start the game as novice adventurers from Ogard, leading a band of refugees away from the wrath of the orcish host which the ambitious Pomarji chief Turosh Mak drove upon their lands. What will become of the party and their frightened protégés will depend upon the players' capacity for clever improvisation. This is meant to be a story-heavy campaign, best suited to players who enjoy role-playing, inves…

I originally wasn’t really planning on GMing this year, but I’ve decided that I need more reasons to not study. I know it’s a bit late to start a longterm game, but it you are like me it should make for an excellent excuse to not do work, which is what we’re at uni for after all.
The Eternal Isles is a dnd 5e campaign set in a homebrew world comprised of 13 islands as old as time itself. The current empire and its not so glittering cities are built on the ruins of their predecessors; all except the white t…

I thought I was happy not running a long-term campaign this year but no, I caught the itch again.
This would be a High-Ish level (starting at at least 5, using XP levelling) (thats high for me, I've never DMed above 4 before), high magic, fairly combat-heavy game. I love running complex and tactical combats so if that's not your thing then maybe this game isn't for you. That being said, I'm also more than happy with roleplay, I don't want to sound like I'm anti-story, quite the opposite.
Ideally, I'd DM f…

Welcome to the FBI! It’s the fifties, and America is facing a whole new enemy: communism! Join our investigators as they explore a brand new town, where anyone might be an enemy spy, as they try and thwart a possible communist invasion.
Have you ever wanted to be a detective? Solve crimes? Buy into American patriotism? This might just be the campaign for you.
Featuring cults! An overbearing smell of fish! And a general sense of unease!

Puddledeep - The City That Never Sweeps. For such a city, the sum of one-half-million gold dragons may be a drop in the bucket; but with taxes so low, the loss of the City Redevelopment Fund is a bucket to the face. The Lord is gone, we haven’t lost him too, we just think he’s run away, and the only clues to the location of the cash may have fled with him.
So, is the city crying out for a group of random level one heroes to restore the lost kitty? Not really, to be honest... we’re a bit strapped at the mom…

I pondered, with mind at pruritus, profusely at the Peaks of Truth;
I scoured, scorched the rank and file of Reason’s marches;
Roused I with jaundice from cirrhosis of the heart.
I could not answer, under oxymoronic syllogism-
‘How come the Gods are sane, if men be mad?’

The world is much overdue for a campaign of serious character interactions, and the building of genuine catharsis. I will deliver a D&D 5th Edition long term campaign- the …

Hello!
I'll be running a campaign for Pathfinder 1E, staring from Level 1. It'll be my first time running a campaign, though I have a solid amount of one-shot DMing and playing through a long-term campaign. I'm very happy to have newcomer players or people who've had some interest in Pathfinder but haven't had a chance to play it before, as I'll be starting from a lower-level nonetheless.
The overall setting is the world of Eidolon, a swathing continental world with sweeping oceans, grand forests, strange …
