BLACK ARCHIVES: Multiversal TTRPG Adventures

'The branches of the Astral Corridor weave through time and space, echoing fractured realities once thought forgotten. The archivists of the Black Archives work tirelessly to catalogue these tales, reaching into the furthest depths of the corridor to glimpse what can never be.’

Black Archives is a TTRPG story spotlight event, as our house GMs weave tales from across the multiverse. These original stories are self-contained and setting-agnostic, intended for both experienced and newer players. We'll be featuring a variety of indie TTRPG systems alongside our regular D&D5E offerings! 

Each session will feature it's own unique system and requirements, so be sure to read the full event description before ordering. 

Tonight, the tales you can expect to uncover are: 

THIRSTY SWORD LESBIANS (HOUSE GM: MAXIM) 

SYSTEM: Thirsty Sword Lesbians 
THE STORY: Down a glass of champagne, steal a zeppelin, and turn up the heat in an after-hours club while you swap poetry and dissidence as a member of Les Violettes Dangereuses, a group of revolutionary artists who give new meaning to “the pen is mightier than the sword.”

Thirsty Sword Lesbians is a rolepaying game for telling queer stories with friends. If you love angsty disaster lesbians with swords, you’ve come to the right place.

PRE-GENS PROVIDED?: Playbooks, basic rules, scenario and worldbuilding will be discussed collaboratively at the table.

CONTENT WARNINGS: Flirting is a core fundamental of Thirsty Sword Lesbians. This is a game about feeling things and forging relationships as angsty sapphic heroines. Safety tools will be discussed as part of collaborative worldbuilding.

HEX SQUAD: SLEEPY HOLLOW (HOUSE GM: RORY)

SYSTEM: D&D5E 2024
THE STORY: Welcome to Task Force Hex.
