Game Descriptions

Game TypeDescription
tabletop rpg "All That Glitters" run by Jen R.
GURPS

“It's taken them a while,” said the old man with the silver-tipped arrows, “but once they learned how to work with the modern media, they took advantage every chance they got. They made themselves seem harmless - sexy, even. All bows and dressing up.” He sniffed. ”And sparkling.”
“Vampires?” You asked, as he handed you an arrow.
“Worse,” he grumbled. ”The Fae.”

A GURPS adventure in modern fantastic horror for 4-7 players.
tabletop rpg "The Bones of Daragom" run by Jeremy and Jenn Tully
Mana Punk RPG

Mana Punk is the fantasy role-playing game with a steampunk twist! Create your own troll warrior with a steam powered mechanical arm to help drive their weapon swings, or be a spell slinging mage capable of commanding the very elements themselves! The only limit is your imagination as you take your hero from the burning threats in the volcanic Smoking Crown in the southwest to the rolling expanses of the northeastern plains and everything in between, all of this can be seen from the deck of a flying Airship or by stepping across the threshold of a mystical portal.

18+ Age preferred. 2-5 Players. Players should bring a sense of humor and an imagination.

larp "Task Force 9" run by Mythos Houston
Call of Chthulu LARP

What makes someone a hero? Is it superpowers, is it the willpower to fight the good fight, or is it making the hard choice when no one else will? In this Call of Cthulhu Live-Action Role Playing game, you become a member of the superhero group known as Task Force 9. Despite your best efforts, an insidious alien plague has overwhelmed the citizens of the world. You represent the last of humanity, and now it’s up to you to solve the mystery, and to put an end to the attacks that plague your home in Central City. Push yourself and your sanity to the very edge, and determine once and for all what makes a hero, and what you’d be willing to sacrifice to hold on to that dream.

A Live-Action Cthulhu Event for 10-20 players, brought to you by Mythos Houston. No special equipment required; superhero costumes or masks are welcome.
tabletop rpg "This Thing of Darkness..." run by Marion “MFC2TX” Carpenter
7th Sea RPG

“...I acknowledge mine.” A tempestuous night drives you to a dilapidated, secluded abbey off the beaten path. Its only inhabitant is a kindly old monk. Offered shelter until the storm passes, you settle in for a meal by a warm fire. He’s jovial at first, but as it gets later, he becomes melancholy and finally, with a heavy heart, he retires from the gathering. Stopping in his open chamber door, he turns and hisses, “You should never have come! One must die or none shall leave. I cannot save you.” He walks through the door and locks it behind him.

Players should bring a charming personality, spirit for adventure, and cooperative attitude. A set of 10 ten-sided dice is recommended, but not required.
