| Rules | Grotten: 1-Bit Deeper |
| Suitable for | Newbies welcome! Rules will be explained at the table. |
| Description | Who are you? Some sort of a circus troupe? Cultists? What are you looking for in this endless dungeon? It matters not, even if you find it, there is no way you find your way out of Grotten! A unique dungeon-crawling adventure completely improvised by the players and the GM at the table with help of a little chaotic book full of random tables. Rules-light and incredibly player-friendly system, enjoyed by new and experienced players alike. While often tongue-in-cheek, the game can sometimes be lethal to the characters in which case new characters are created and inserted into the plot instantly. Check this YouTube video by MysteryQuest if you would like to have an idea of how the game can be played: youtube.com/watch?v=cEercpeRZ58 Bringing a pencil, an eraser and a set of RPG dice is encouraged but not mandatory. Being ready to collaborate with other players on an awesome story and have a great time is. |
| Trigger Warnings | The tone of the game, as well as topics to be avoided, will be discussed right before the adventure. Feel free to immediately communicate any concerns during the game as well. |

| Description | Victorian London, 1855. A year has passed since you and your companions unraveled a grim case of illness, death, and conspiracy. Your investigative talents, highly praised by the press, have not gone unnoticed. A cryptic letter from a solicitor reaches you, urging your presence at Addington Palace. You are tasked with safeguarding a priceless inheritance during the proceedings following the death of the esteemed aristocrat, Margaret Mallan. Drawn in by curiosity, you soon find yourself at the heart of a complex criminal investigation—one filled with the hunt for clues, intense interrogations, sharp deductions, and, ultimately, delivering justice to those who deserve it. Note: this is a soft sequel to my adventure “The Green Death” I previously ran at 3 past JKU Games. The plot is not connected to the old adventure, but it follows the same playable characters. Both new and returning players are welcome! |

| Adventure | Shattered Hope |
|---|---|
| Language | English |
| Game-Master | Sarah [starshine001] |
| Rules | Warhammer 40K: Dark Heresy |
| Suitable for | General Pen&Paper Knowldedge needed. Rules will be explained at the table. At least a passing familiarity with the Warhammer 40K universe is helpful. |
| Description | PLEASE NOTE: This is an adventure set in the universe of Warhammer 40K (a grimdark sci-fi setting), using the Dark Heresy system. Please take the trigger warnings seriously and be aware that the system is highly lethal. Backup characters will be provided should your character die. —————————————– For more than a hundred centuries the Emperor has sat immobile on the Golden Throne of Earth. He is the master of mankind by the will of the gods, and master of a million worlds by the might of his inexhaustible armies. He is a rotting carcass writhing invisibly with power from the Dark Age of Technology. He is the Carrion Lord of the Imperium, for whom a thousand souls are sacrificed every day, so that he may never truly die. To be a man in such times is to live in the cruellest and most bloody regime imaginable. Forget the power of technology and science, for so much has been forgotten. Forget the promise of progress and understanding, for in the grim dark future there is only war. There is no peace amongst the stars, only an eternity of carnage and slaughter, and the laughter of thirsting gods. You are one such man within the Imperium, forged from hardship and toil. You are fresh recruits of the Holy Inquisition, agents in training for its shadowed and secretive work of rooting out heresy, corruption and alien influence. It was clear from the tone of your master that you were far from the ideal candidates for this mission. He hesitated as he briefed you on the situation on Sepheris Secundus. Under normal circumstances, the Inquisition would have investigated at its own pace, but the damage to the planet’s economy -and thus the wider sector - could be severe if left unchecked. Thus, you and your companions have been sent. It is unsettling: you are raw recruits, bound for further training at Scintilla, yet as the closest available Acolytes, it was a small matter to divert your vessel to this harsh, frozen world. Now, you must stand resolute in the face of evil so that you may enact His holy will. |
| Trigger Warnings | * Violence and Gore * Blood and corpses * Mutations and body horror * Psychological stress / madness * General tone of dread, fear and isolation The 40K setting is grimdark. This means that life is harsh, hopeless and violent. There’s no real hope for peace or progress; everyone is struggling just to survive, and even the heroes are flawed or expendable. It’s a world of constant war and corruption where the stakes are always deadly. |

In Nacht der Hekate übernimmst du eine solche Person und triffst gegen Abend in ein kleines Städtchen namens Rabenau ein. Doch kurz nach eurem Eintreffen reiht sich eine Merkwürdigkeit nach der anderen bis… Lernt das System von Hexxen1733 kennen, eine Spannende Welt, einfach zu lernende Regeln, und ein Abenteuer für Anfänger als auch erfahrene Rollenspieler :) |

| Adventure | Escape the Lair |
|---|---|
| Language | English |
| Game-Master | Oscar [oscar3927] |
| Rules | Savage Worlds (+ Super Powers Companion) |
| Suitable for | Newbies welcome! Rules will be explained at the table. |
| Description | “Goon” is a bit of a harsh word. You’re really just workers. Workers that sell their superpowered time to some rich guys, and maybe just don’t look that closely at what their employers do. Sure, your run-of-the-mill CEO might not ask you to burn down entire city blocks, but at least your employers have really sad and understandable backstories. Anyways, you just finished the largest gig you’ve ever gotten, but just as you were about to spend your hard-earned money, the “good guys” just had to come and crash the party. Sadly, they are quite a bit out of your league, so you only really have one goal here: Escape while their fighting destroys the very lair around you. In this one-shot you’ll be playing street-level supervillains. Think e.g. daredevil or hawkeye for rough power level. Savage Worlds is trying a more cinematic spin on TTRPGs inspired by movies rather than realism. |
| Trigger Warnings | graphical descriptions of violence and torture, please inform DM beforehand to avoid that |
| Players | 5 |
| Duration | 5h |
| Characters | provided by GM or bring your own (Please contact the DM for details a few days before if you want to create your own character. The DM will only accept characters that were sent to them at least 2 days beforehand. You can also give them a general power set that you’d be interested in and they can lean on that.) |

| Suitable for | Newbies welcome! Rules will be explained at the table. - Neulinge willkommen! Regeln werden am Tisch erklärt. |
| Description | During your road trip, your car breaks down on the road between two cities. An empty gas tank wouldn’t normally be a problem, but unfortunately, you’re miles away from any civilization on the map. Luckily, not too far from your car, you find a mansion—a huge estate with a two-story house, a large garage, and a mausoleum decorated with angel icons. You’re welcomed by a hospitable and helpful family, but the longer you stay, the stranger they seem. And the longer you stay, the more certain you become that they aren’t the only ones here… - Während eurer Buchtour stirbt am Weg zwischen zwei Städten euer Auto ab. Ein leerer Benzintank wäre sonst kein Problem, doch leider seid ihr meilenweit entfernt von jeglicher Zivilisation auf der Karte. Zum Glück findet ihr nicht allzu weit von eurem Auto eine Villa - ein riesiges Grundstück mit einem zweistöckigen Haus, einer großen Garage und einem Mausoleum, dekoriert mit Engelsikonen. Empfangen werdet ihr von einer gastfreundlichen und hilfsbereiten Familie, doch je länger ihr bleibt, desto komischer wirken sie. Und je länger ihr bleibt, desto sicherer seid ihr euch, dass sie nicht die einzigen hier sind… |

| Description | Our ship is our kingdom, and someones has to rule it! We might be battling THE KRAKEN, be having a mutiny or pray to our one and only lover: The sea! Hard to say, because in Kingdom, there is no storyteller - we write the world together. We’ll spend about an hour creating the world (““Kingdom””), characters and story beats. We will then set sail and follow the call of the sea. Kingdom is more about creative roleplay, intrigue and fun, less about mechanics: You won’t need dice or know how Pen and Papers usually go, the rules are a one-pager. Rum will be provided. |
