Dungeons & Dragons

System by Wizards of the Coast, written by Kai Linder

GM: Claire

While seeking shelter to survive the harsh winter, a gang of six goblins stumbled into the cave of a large and exceptionally greedy goblin called Big Boss. He’s promised shelter in his cave if the goblins can steal enough cozy things from the sleepy village of Little Humbleton to build him the comfiest nest a goblin ever did burrow into. Fail, and the goblins are out in the freezing cold with no hope. All that stands between them and survival is a snowstorm, sturdy doors, sleeping townsfolk, and an evil adventurer!

Serious rating: 2/5

Numenera 

System by: Monte Cooke Games

GM: Magdalene 

There have been eight previous worlds. Each world stretched across vast millennia of time. Each played host to a civilisation that rose to supremacy but eventually died or scattered, disappeared or transcended. During the time that each world flourished, those that ruled it spoke to the stars, reengineered their bodies, and mastered reality, each in their own unique way. ' Each left behind remnants. People of the new world -- the Ninth World -- sometimes call these remnants magic and who are we to say they're wrong? But most give a unique name to the legacies of the nigh-unimaginable past. They call them Numenera. WARNINGS:  sci-fi / fantasy violence and themes approximately M rating equivalent. Safety tools Lines and Veils and X-Card will be used. 

Serious rating: 3.5/5
