A Nest of Webs

Life's hard in the sewers when you're Roden living under the oppression of the human boot. But it's just gotten eight times worse: Giant freakin spiders invade the nest and start eatin babies. I say we burn 'em! Are you with me? Roden vs spiders; us vs them! Burn 'em out! One group of players take on the role of a nest of Roden Below in a desperate struggle to purge their home of arachnid invaders before the human wizards detect their presence and wipe them out. The opposing group plays a handful of Great Spiders cornered in the sewers as they make their way on an important errand for the Undernest. They must escape by any means necessary.

Torg

Over ten years ago, they came from other realities, raiders joined together to steal the awesome energy of Earth's possibilities. They brought with them their own realities, creating areas where the rules of nature are radically different - turning huge portions of Earth into someplace else.

Now a primitive realm of dinosaurs and spiritualism exists in North America, a fantasy realm of magical creatures and high sorcery has invaded the British Isles, and a theocratic Cyberpapacy has sprung up in Western Europe. A new Egyptian empire, a high-tech espionage realm, and a terror-filled reality of horrific monsters also joined the invasion.

But Earth is not helpless. Standing between these Possibility Raiders and total victory are the Storm Knights, men and women who have weathered the raging storms of change with their own realities intact. The Storm Knights come from any of the realms are and are dedicated to stopping the raiders here, before their unholy hunger consumes Earth - leaving behind a desolate husk.

The Unsung Saga (Cthulhu Dark Ages)

When the crew of the "Ravenar" were summoned to the King's Hall their plans changed dramatically. No longer would they spend the season raiding Irish monasteries and towns. Instead they would set out into the dangerous North Atlantic searching for the King's lost son. Rich rewards are promised for the Prince's return. Is this a fool's errand or the path to fortune? Following the trail of clues will lead these Norsemen into perilous waters and onto deadly shores. This story will make quite a Saga if any can return home to tell it.
