– Vital Emergency Stellar Protocol Expedited Recovery (VESPER) Force After - Action Report on the Carthage Incident.

Adventure Background
As the crucible of the Great War consumed the Archon Empire with impunity, its searing heat gradually melted the Archons’ ironclad ethics to slag. The Carthage began as a medical ship on a mission of mercy to the Kaltorans of Haven, but as the Archons’ cause grew every more desperate, she received a dread new purpose: harvest Kaltoran refugees, and Nephilim prisoners of war to develop new bio-weaponry for immediate deployment on the front.
Fragged Empire: Rag-Tag
Fragged Empire is a post-post-apocalyptic sci-fi setting where your people are just now returning to space following a century of hiding during the aftermath of a galactic war where the Nephilim and their X'ion master successfully defeated the Archons and their servile nations. It's a universe that leans heavily into themes of cultural tension and exploration, with a dash of trans-humanism, nation-building and a hope for a better future.

RAG-TAG will see you and your friends take on the role of a character from one of eight core species who join together to form a rag-tag band of misfit mercs that pilfer the corpses of ghost ships, explore ancient ruins, respond to SOS signals, fight pirates, defend frontier colonies, hunt monsters and explore uncharted worlds!

In life the magic user was powerful but unremarked. Vowing to change the narrative, he desired to make everyone remember him forever. He achieved that in his unlife. His name was Acererak.

Today, many adventurers know of the tale of Acererak's climb through infamy but few dare utter his name aloud for fear of atteacting his attention. He was a powerful lich who held sway over these lands many centuries past. But all creatures, not matter how powerful, have one thing in common. They have an appointment with death. And that was Acererak's ultimate end, or so they say.

A grand and deadly tomb was built while Acererak was it the height of his powers, foreseeing this day. And when the dark energies that sustained him were finally all spent, Acererak's remains were finally sealed.

But whispers and rumors never die. Quiet tales, half told and innuendo tickled the minds of adventurers as stories began circulating that maybe Acererak wasn't truly dead. And what a tale would be told of those who sought him out and finally defeated this menace to all life.

And yet others tales were told that perhaps he was dead and his tomb would surely house some of the most fabulous riches.

Which one was either true, this was a tale worthy of you to take up. And it just so happened and old sage had discovered the location of his burial mound. And that's all you need, really. Just the location of that one special cairn, and you can do the rest. Easy, right?

This is the classic Tomb of Horrors from the AD&D days which will be given a small facelift with the OSE rules. Come explore the world's deadliest dungeon (or so the stories go).

Goblins.
Not the merriest of creatures, nor the most noble. But these mischievous fellows are often painted with a crueler brush than they deserve. Goblins are crafty, sharp (in all senses of the word), and tenacious – but above all else, goblins are survivors.
They’d have to be, in order to pull off their latest heist.
Every week, the butcher's cart heads to market, full of sweetmeats, succulent sausages, and rump roasts. Such a mouthwatering target has been often coveted by you and your fellow goblins - but today will be the day that you finally make it yours.
Of course, it's best to have a place to escape the consequences of your actions afterwards. Fortunately, you know of the perfect place. Set into a nearby hillside, flanked by solid stone pillars, there's a heavy oaken door. And you're sure with a little effort, you can pry it open...

In GOBLIN QUEST, the players take on the role of Goblins! These Goblins are played with the Neon Knights rule system, a simple d6 fail-forward system. Last year, this system was used to run The Tallest Tail, an adventure of lumberjacks and were-beavers. In this year's game, there aren't any rodents afoot, but players are given a secret Goblin Quest. At the end of the adventure, if you have completed your Quest, you will receive a special prize – but watch out! If you are too obvious in your attempt, others may attempt to usurp your Quest!

Greetings, esteemed volunteer! Welcome to the World Dungeon, a state-of-the-art subterranean death labyrinth brought to you by the Syndicate’s proudest purveyor of terror and reality entertainment, the Borant Corporation. Consider yourself “lucky” to be a part of Dungeon Crawler World, an event that’s not only legally sanctioned but apparently essential for intergalactic viewers who need a bit of… let’s call it high-stakes drama in their lives. You and your fellow Crawlers are now the proud property of Borant until one of two things happens: you make it past the Tenth Floor (which, statistically speaking, you won’t) and gain citizenship, or… well, that one’s too depressing. So, sue me, there’s three things… Let’s focus on the bright side, shall we?

You’ve made it this far, meaning you’re one of the select few who survived the Transformation Event and managed to avoid the tempting warmth of oblivion. Now, by stepping into the dungeon, you’ve agreed to a unique opportunity: clawing your way to freedom as a Crawler. Once inside, the System AI—yes, that’s me—will assign you a unique Crawler Number and a Crawler Name, which will be emblazoned in your HUD for the edification of your future fans. And if you’re still wondering what a HUD is, don’t worry—it’s all very intuitive, assuming you can read.

GM Note: It is good to know what Dungeon Crawler Carl is, but you do not need to have read the book, you will have fun all the same!

Some board game experience is important as the game is quite complex, but difficulty/complexity can be tuned at several levels.

I'd like to get first or second time players primarily. Please stop by even if not selected by the algorithm. That said, the table may expand some if other experienced anchors/willing teachers join in and table space allows - specifics TBD. Anyone's free to sign up, but I'd love to get the new players (did I say that already?).

All expansions/horizons content will be included (yes, this is fine for first time players!), and a few limitations are expected to keep the game "normal" (e.g. no Finder or Ocean which warp gameplay for everyone at the table).
