Communopoly!

GM: LAURA-ANN CHARLOT
Type: Board
System: Monopoly
Edition: Home Brew
Players: 6
Rules Knowledge: Beginners Welcome
Game Content: Family-Friendly

Welcome to The Worker's Paradise! Do you have the cunning, ruthlessness, and luck, to not only survive, but to also get ahead and thrive, in the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin? This home-brew real estate trading board game is loosely based on traditional 'Monopoly', but with some major plot twists, and more ways to fall afoul of The State than you can shake a vodka bottle at. Make a bad D12 die roll, or simply land on NKVD Headquarters as you travel around the board, and you could end up in a Gulag forced labor camp, fall out of a 10th story window onto some bullets, or simply disappear for no reason at all other than picking a bad 'No Chance' card and rolling a Nat 1! Pick a 'good' card from the 'Communist Test' or 'No Chance' card decks, and you might be awarded a Sputnik Keepsake Souvenir, an almost-new Lada automobile or VAZ moped, or even a Communal Chicken Coop with 6 hens! Or you might find yourself suddenly in charge of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, desperately trying to arrange a rental of the Volga Water Works before the reactor overheats and explodes, showering adjacent properties with radioactive fallout. You could be simply minding your own business, and suddenly be accused of distributing Anti-Soviet propaganda, or hiding an American spy in the basement of your apartment block. Oops! you rolled a Nat 1, and the KGB plants false evidence in your bedroom closet: you are arrested, then Disappeared!. A wild and fun game for 6 players, plus the GM/Banker. NOTE: In this variant, all players will play the entire 6 hours; if you die or get disappeared, you re-spawn your character, so don't worry about dying early in the game and having to sit out the remaining game time. The winner is determined by the total value of cash accrued 'in-hand', and cash 'smuggled to the West', plus the value of real properties held, plus the value of personal property held at the end of the game, such as that Sputnik Souvenir, or the Chicken Coop. NOTE: If your character dies during the game, you forfeit all real property back to the state, and re-spawn with a new token, but you keep your personal property and all cash smuggled to the West. So it's almost impossible to guess in advance who's going to win: Player #3 might have 3/4 of the property under their control, but very little cash smuggled to the West, and then roll a Nat 1 after being arrested on suspicion of espionage, and have to start over. Another player who has very little real estate, but who has smuggled out 50,000 rubles, and not had the bad luck to make a bunch of poor die rolls, could be the winner.

Takedown of Gornoth Horskûn (D&D 5e)

GM: LAURA-ANN CHARLOT
Type: RPG
System: Dungeons & Dragons
Edition: 5th Ed (2014)
Players: 6
Power Level: Level 7
Variations: The GM will likely introduce anachronistic technology, but will not allow Feats, Stats, Armor, Spells, or weapons from sources other than the WOTC 2014 Player's Handbook.
Rules Knowledge: Beginners Welcome
Game Content: Family-Friendly

A D&D adventure in Faerûn. Your team of six 7th Level Adventurers has entered into a contract with the Council of Governments of the Sword Coast, to take down one Gornoth Horskûn, a petty Warlord based in the Evermoors, who has begun to send raiding parties against neighboring towns, and who appears to be supporting bands of Pirates that are disrupting river trade all over the region on several tributaries of the River Desarin. You are to break up this troublemaker's operation, and arrest him if possible; if he resists, deadly force is authorized. A group of 20 Waterdeep City Guardsmen sent to investigate, and who disappeared without a trace, may still be alive in captivity: rescue them if you can, or at least try to discover their fate. Reconnaissance of the area 8 weeks ago indicates that Horskûn's group may have taken over some abandoned silver and copper mines around Startop, so you may have to infiltrate both above ground and below ground areas. The game will be a balanced mix of role playing, storytelling, and combat. Players looking for an all-combat game are forewarned that stealth, patience, and thinking outside the box will be required for a successful outcome in this game. A good Thief who can slip past a sleepy door guard without tripping an alarm, will be just as valuable as a Fighter or Berserker. The GM will provide character sheets for a Wizard (School of Evocation), Eldritch Knight (Fighter), Arcane Trickster (Thief), Cleric (Knowledge Domain), a Ranger or Barbarian, and either a Paladin or a second Cleric (Life Domain). The game will more or less follow the 5th Edition (2014) Player's Handbook and Monster Manual. Players should note that the GM will probably introduce anachronistic technology. There will be three NPC's assisting your team: a pair of wisecracking Gnome Artificer brothers named Jake and Elwood Skorningden, and their cousin Heidi.The payment offer for your services is 1,200 GP for the Team plus 5 Silvers per person per day for expenses. Transportation will be provided. The GM will provide character sheets.
