The Black Lodge: Red November
The Black Lodge: Red November
In the shadowy realm where reality blurs with the supernatural, the Black Lodge stands as humanity's clandestine guardian. This covert intergovernmental organization operates beyond the public eye, shielding the world from otherworldly and malevolent entities.
Players assume the roles of agents in the Cicada Initiative, an elite subdivision of the Black Lodge. They are part of November-Five, a specialized team tasked with confronting the growing vampiric threat. Distanced from the political intricacies and broader conflicts of the Lodge, the Initiative hones in on its founding principle – to investigate, contain, and neutralize paranormal occurrences.
Setting:
The game unfolds in a modern world veiled in secrecy and danger. Vampires, alien horrors, and ancient entities lurk in the shadows, hunting and influencing humanity from behind the scenes. The Black Lodge, with its extensive resources and global reach, relentlessly battles these supernatural forces.
The Cicada Initiative embodies agility and adaptability in the face of these threats, executing covert operations and rapid interventions. Teams operate under various disguises, seamlessly blending into the societal fabric, from bustling urban landscapes to isolated wilderness.
The Threat:
The vampiric menace, a looming and enigmatic danger, presents a complex challenge. With ancient origins and insidious intentions, these creatures of the night are more than mere folklore. They are sophisticated, powerful, and terrifyingly real. As agents delve deeper into their investigations, they will unravel a web of intrigue that spans across history and geography.
Gameplay:
The journey begins with an investigation into a mysterious blood bank operation in Camden, New Jersey. What appears as a routine assignment quickly spirals into a labyrinthine plot filled with danger and dark revelations. Agents will engage in a delicate dance of investigation, combat, and diplomacy in a world where allegiances are uncertain, and moral clarity is scarce.
Players will navigate through a narrative-rich experience, emphasizing character development, storytelling, and cinematic action. In this world, quick thinking, tactical skill, and the ability to adapt are crucial for survival. The game will challenge players to make difficult choices in a reality where the supernatural is an everyday truth, and the fate of humanity hangs in the balance.

Rise of Takhisis
The Queen of Many Colors and None is dead.
She is not widely mourned. Even her dark consort, Sargonnas the God of Vengeance, sheds no tears for her. Briefly, she was mourned by Mina, her most devoted follower. However, even Mina has come to learn the depths of Takhisis' deception and has forsaken her former queen.
Across Ansalon, mortals curse her name, for her fall from heaven also unseated the Platinum Dragon, Paladine, who now walks the earth in the form of the elf Valthonis. The Walking God chose mortality to preserve the Balance and preserve life on Ansalon. His former followers mourn his sacrifice and devotion, honoring his memory. Of the two great dragons, only one is mourned.
But there are those who would see Takhisis restored. Her ogres struggle to find purpose without her guidance, even as they still blame her for their ancient fall from grace. Goblins and draconians might flock to her banner again, as they did of old, if only someone would raise it. And there are those, lurking in the shadows, who have begun to put a plan into motion. For should the dead god rise, the Balance would be destroyed. Darkness would cover the face of Ansalon, and a new Age of Dragons would begin to replace the Age of Mortals.
Eons ago, in the Age of Starbirth, the Queen of Dragons poured her power into a great artifact, the Mask of the Dragon Queen, which she used to corrupt the first dragons to her cause. Now, her last cultists seek to reunite the scattered pieces of this artifact. They hope to use the divine power stored within to return Takhisis to life and power. Even now, in the Solamnic province of Southlund, the Cult of Takhisis begins to stir, putting their fell schemes into motion.
The Queen of Many Colors and None is dead... for now.

Star ORE
I was going to do a fancy faux title crawl, but that would undermine the way I'm planning to run this game. So, dry, out-of-character introduction it is.
Hello, all. This is a game using StarORE, a microgame using the One Roll Engine, set in the Star Wars universe.
Haven't heard of it? Reasonable. It's old, and also tiny — at a mere 14 pages. I did say microgame. But it is also free, and you can check out its PDF o'er here.
So what is this, then? Well, obviously, I am running a game of StarORE. It will be play-by-post, and hosted entirely on Myth Weavers.
The game is set in-between the fall of the Old Republic and the start of the first movie, a time of tumult, tyranny, and also bold, go-getting heroism. The specifics of time, place, and story will be determined by what you, my prospective players, are interested in. A story of jedi apprentices dodging the Empire's extermination squads? Stormtroopers shaking off their conditioning to break free of the Empire and make their own path in life? A smuggler crew making ends meet at the edge of known space? It's all possible.
I'm hoping for a group of between 3 and 5 players, and aim to retain a steady posting rate. At least a couple posts per week, more (but smaller) when we're in combat.
When making your character (which you can do over here) I want you to pitch me who you want to play and what story you want them to be a part of. Is your idea only a slice of a wider story, or worthy of the main plot? Would you rather ride along on someone else's adventure? Regardless, that will just be the seed. I'm sure once we get going all kinds of craziness will happen.
If you have questions, you can ask them over here.
This'll be my first time running a game on the new site. Apologies if I do not know how everything works, I'm doing my best.

Frontier Bound
The Milky Way after SECCOM is a dangerous place, as ThirdCom tries to reestablish ties to lost colonies. Out on the frontiers, rebels, pirates, and corporations constantly battle it out while the Union tries to bring peace and prosperity back to their far-flung descendants. To accomplish this several Union organizations banded together to create a special paramilitary Lancer unit: The Peregrine Syndicate. Operating completely autonomously to give them the tactical flexibility of a pirate squad, but dedicated to bringing peace and safety back to the frontier states, the Peregrine Syndicate (or PERSYN) sends its Syndis out on dangerous missions to combat pirates, fight back corporate control, and bring colonies back into the fold.
You are the first PERSYN unit ever created. With narrow access to resources your job is to prove that PERSYN will work and can bring peace back to the Frontier. It's a daunting task but you were picked because you seemed to have the grit, the courage, and the dedication to do it. Can you prove the Union right?This is a hybrid PbP/Voice Chat Discord game made for the Lancer system, and a return to Gming for yours truly.
The above is the basic set up of the game. You are a member of PERSYN, the Peregrine Syndicate, a paramilitary organization founded by members of Union seeking to bring the prosperity promised by ThirdCom back to the lost frontier colonies. Your goal is fighting pirates, leashing out of control corporations, and reestablishing contact with lost worlds.
The downside is that PERSYN doesn't have very much official support just yet, but if you prove yourselves on the frontier by completing missions then hopefully that support will grow.
CLOSING DATE: The Ad will close on November 1st, 2023. On that day I will make final character and player selections. People not selected may be called on later to fill any positions lost over time, so don't throw out your characters!
Game Structure: THIS IS A HYBRID GAME. This means the game will not be played solely on the play-by-post forum, it will be played on Play-by-Post as well as over discord voice chat, and Roll20. As such, the abilities to use discord voice and Roll20 chat are a requirement.
- The Briefing, Preparation, Missions, and Debriefs will occur on voice chat. As Lancer has a complex combat system that relies on specific measurements, its easiest to handle missions in real-time. Discord will be used for voice chat, and Roll20 will be used to handle the battle mat.
- Downtime will be played on the Myth-Weavers forums. This allows for more free role-playing during downtime and the free-form/narrative portions of the game.
- In-Universe mission summaries, documents characters receive, and other paraphernalia will be posted on the Myth-Weavers forums. This gives us a convenient, central location to access everything, as well as a record for missions.
-
There will be a mission every 2 weeks, on Fridays between 6 and 8pm MST. The specific Fridays will be selected once players are chosen. Scheduling conflicts happen, especially around holidays, so some flexibility will be required. However, in general I expect players to try and accommodate the 2 week rotations.
- This means any between-mission downtime MUST be completed in those two weeks! This is a very big, very important point. You must maintain at least enough posting regularity to complete your downtime before missions so that you have any reserves or upgrades prepared narratively by the next mission.
Application requirements:
Your character application should include all of the following:
Name: Your character's name.
Background: The background you've chosen or created for your character (custom backgrounds are allowed, within reason).
Biography: A brief, in-universe biography of your character, such as might be seen on a dossier in the PERSYN files. It should include a general description of your pilot, the name of the system and planet (or ship, or space station) your pilot is from, any living family members or close contacts, and why your character chose to join PERSYN.
Psychology: A brief psychological overview written in an in-universe style. This shouldn't be more than a paragraph long. It should not list myers-briggs personality types or specific mental illnesses. It should include descriptions of how you envision your pilot approaching high-stress situations, personality traits that may cause conflict or concern in the mission, and ways in which your character excels as a mech pilot.License Levels: Your initial license level is 0 until the game starts. As always, you start with a license for all General Massive Systems gear, and one license for the GMS-SP1-Everest frame.
Pilot Combat Stats: This will always be (until the game begins): HP 6, Size 1/2, Evasion 10, E-Defense 10, Speed 4
Triggers: The four +2 triggers from your Background.
Mech Skills: Your one +2 Mech Skill, or your two +1 Mech skills.
Talents: Your three Rank 1 talents.Mech Statblock: A name and a stat-block for your mech's basic load-out. This may change as the game progresses, but it gives me an idea what kind of combat role you'd like your mech to fill (at least initially).
Lines and Veils: A list of Lines and Veils for you as a player. This may be put in a private tag so only I and moderators can read it, if you aren't comfortable openly sharing (though I would encourage you to share them openly). If you do this, when the game is started I will anonymously list your Lines and Veils alongside everyone elses in the master list so that all players are aware of them.- A LINE is content that absolutely, under no circumstances, can come up in the game.
- A VEIL is content that might come up in the game, but will be handled "off-screen" or fade-to-black.
-
When choosing Lines and Veils, keep in mind that a good deal of content already has to be veiled due to Myth-Weavers code of conduct (such as explicit sexual acts, hard drug use, torture, ultra-violence, etc.) That said, I would encourage you to list those things anyways if they are particularly sensitive for you, just so all of our players are on the same page.

WH40K Wrath & Glory: Forsaken System
Life in the Gilead System is hard for most. Perhaps even more so on those who operate outside the boundaries of structure and order. At least working within the strict proclivities of the Imperium agencies provides some assurances and securities. The drifters and waysiders who make up the vast assortment of mercenary outfits have no such guarantees. It is a cutthroat enterprise that requires utmost cunning and swift maneuvering when things inevitably go badly.
You are part of one of these mercenary groups and your outfit has recently taken on a new patron. The only things you really know about him are that he is linked to a group of Aeldari outcasts and he has offered enough gelt to finance a comfortable retirement in a pleasure district of your choice. All that he needs you to do is locate and retrieve a piece of archaeotech known as the Quarkcube.
Intel has led you to believe this relic is somewhere deep in the wild zone of the agri world Ostia. Your patron has secured for you a low altitude skimmer that can avoid augur detections. Sneaking outside of the Imperium controlled zone was the easy part and as your skimmer makes a thruster propelled landing in the heart of Ostian jungle you know it's now time to earn your pay.
The Quarkcube Gambit is a Tier 1 adventure for 4-6 players. The framework for this adventure is a mercenary group on a mission to retrieve a piece of archaeotech for a wealthy patron. The keywords for this game are SCUM & OUTCAST. Please see Character Applications for details on character creation. This will be a single session game that I expect to be resolved in 3-5 months depending on the player's decisions and whether posting can maintain a decent pace.

The Black Fold
This is a continuation of an OGMW Fate Core game set during the Order 66 era of the Star Wars extended universe. Continuing from initial chapters in which Amon Pox is a Jedi master and black sheep of the council now in hiding with his padawan while cautiously building a team to rebel against the newly minted Empire. Taking refuge in a distant station in the Smuggler’s Run, he’s recruiting like-minded mercenaries, professionals, spies, and other rebels in this new plan.The new team with their serial randomizer is set to depart for Coruscant on a covert mission, where they will make use of senate computers to decode a message to infiltrate the plans and unmask the players of the new dark conspiracy and other skulduggery appropriate for spies and scofflaws. And in general, just trying to make it in a new dark reality.

Zeta Force: Agents vs Zombies
"Subtle and Continual Eradication of the Zombie Menace."
That was the first motto of Zeta Force.
A secretive, international organisation, formed with one mission and one mission alone: prevent the zombie apocalypse.
Most of the time, Zeta Force's agents are (seemingly) normal people, with (seemingly) normal lives. But when the Zombie Toxin rears its ugly head and the world is in peril, a handful of otherwise-unassuming, unconnected individuals seem to disappear from their lives...
...and elsewhere, perhaps even on the other side of the world, a team of badass super-spies with gear that could've come out of a spy flick emerge and eliminate the threat before vanishing as mysteriously as they had arrived.
Most people will never know the truth. Most people will never even know there was a truth to know.
But you do.
And on the evening of Halloween, 2023, you get the call from Zeta Force.

The Web of All Torment
You and your friends gave up the adventuring life long ago, the best decision you ever made. You were on a quest for... something. It's hard to remember back that far. You aren't sure how long ago. But then you came across this cute little town in the middle of nowhere.
The town only had one inn - the Kozy Kobweb. Luckily, they had vacancies. You had one of the best meals of your life, a fantastic time chatting with the locals, and enjoyed sing-a-longs over mugs of expertly crafted ale. You slept well and woke up refreshed and happy. You even told the owner - Ms. Alice - about how happy you were there and how you were sad that you had to leave and continue your quest.
But Ms. Alice told you there was no need. Several of her staff had just retired, and she offered you all jobs on the spot. You instantly accepted, the quest forgotten.
Now you spend your days working and socializing with your friends. You still have plenty of time to relax. All of your old weapons and equipment are packed away in the cellar - who needs them? Rather than the constant travel and danger of your old lives, you have endless peaceful days, one fading into the next.
And you couldn't be happier. Everything is just perfect.
***
The Web of All-Torment is a one-shot module from the DCC Horror line, and it is not for the faint of heart. This is one disturbing adventure, ladies and gentlemen, and character death is far from the worst thing that can happen. It is dark, twisted, and gory, and the PCs will be thrust right into it. None will escape unchanged.All PCs will be third level, which is the equivalent power level of fifth or sixth-level PCs in a D&D system. Not that it will save you.

The darkest eye
The village Vintino welcomes all visitors with not one but three reasons to celebrate: The yearly wine festival, the 50th anniversary of the founding of the village and the visit of the famous Merchant Horadan dy Sulvano, who wants to set of to Mengbillar and Al‘Anfa. Vintino is just a small settlement in the south of the Horasian empire but has drawn with this combination quite a crowd.
Merchants and travelers of the surrounding area flock towards the city, even a small circus has settled beyond the village. All is festive and the mood is good, obviously supported by the readily absinke wine all around.
All this commotion has also led your Adventurers to this place, perhaps they want to add to the Traders group to go further south, perhaps they want to see the circus, or it might just be lady fate that led your feet to this bustling place.

Adventures in the Black Spire Outpost
Adventures in the Black Spire Outpost is set between the end of Return of the Jedi and the beginning of The Force Awakens. Both the Empire and the Sith have largely been destroyed (there have been Imperial holdouts and warlords spread across the galaxy, but the New Republic has generally had a handle on them) and the Jedi are all but non-existent (some hold out hope that they will return, but the last known Jedi has gone into hiding).
Long ago, Batuu's Black Spire Outpost was a popular stopping point for those heading out to the Unknown Regions. Unfortunately, with the advent of hyperspace routes, it eventually lost popularity. Eyes are once again starting to cast their gaze at the Outpost, as a very organized Imperial remnant calling itself the First Order has come out of the Unknown Regions and established itself on Batuu. The New Republic has responded by secretly establishing a base of "resistance" fighters on Batuu to keep an eye on the First Order and their activities in the Outpost.
As a resident of Batuu and regular of the Outpost, you find yourself in the middle of a tense situation. Will you join the First Order, intent on rebuilding a Galactic Empire? Or will you join the New Republic "resistance" fighters, insuring the First Order does not succeed in their mission? Or will you straddle the fence, working for the highest bidder, regardless of their plans?

At The Sign Of The Golden Gear
A Haunted Forest...

A Mage Gone Missing...
A Desperate Steward...
An Implacable Foe...
A Menacing Friend...

*************
Come, Noble Adventurers, break your fast and rest from your travels at the famous Korova Inn (Also known as The Golden Gear), home of the refreshing, pale liquid known as Korova Cream, a drink that goes down easy and smooth, but makes it tough for you to get back up again.
A roaring fire, a fine meal, and an evening's light entertainment await you.
Join us!*************
<Dr Nick Voice>HI EVERYBODY!</Dr Nick Voice>
So, I've been away from MW for awhile now, due to a combination of burnout, personal issues, and (for the last couple months) BG3 eating my brain (as it's probably done to many of you ).
Ironically, it's the latter that's brought me back to MW. I was watching a liveplay with the VA's from BG3, and it got me so inspired, that my PbP motor just kicked into fifth gear with no warning...and here I am.
So, rather than do what I usually do, which is come up with something complicated, baroque, and stupidly over-powered, I've decided to go with something a bit more simple, accessible, and, most importantly, easy to get off the ground.
As such, I present to you "At The Sign Of The Golden Gear", based on an old (like, seriously OLD) D&D module. It's one I've run before (many years ago), both in TT as well as here on MW, but it's one that I never managed to get all the way through, in either instance. So, I'm hoping to change that.
Here's the basics: One group. Four players. Five (Gestalt) Levels. Spheres classes ONLY (or vanilla classes with Spheres archetypes).There will be a few (though only a few) other specific house rules, but those are my standard ones. I'm otherwise aiming to make this as uncomplicated as possible, so that I can get a game going, and hopefully get back into the swing of things in a relatively simple manner.
And, while this adventure will most definitely NOT be a "traditional" dungeon crawl, it will contain many similar elements (tricks, traps, puzzles, and a decent amount of combat) that the characters will need to be able to deal with. Keep this in mind when creating your character.
That said, I'm not expecting any single character to be able to handle every situation on their own. You will be part of a team, and once the final group is chosen, I'll allow folks to make tweaks to their characters, should they wish to.
So, if you're interested, come check out the forum, stop in at the Golden Gear for a Korova Kream (or your favorite adult beverage of choice), check out the Character Creation Rules, or even pose a question in the Creation Rules Q&A Thread (though please do read the Creation Rules in their entirety first...while I dont mind if multiple people ask the same question, since threads tend to get too long to conveniently search rather quickly, I do get...grouchy if the answer to your question is clearly marked in the Creation Rules).
Regardless, I look forward to seeing you there!- Pathfinder 1e

The Wild Lands
The Green is the plane of growing things. Like a great twisting growing tree, it stretches out through the cosmos connecting to anywhere that life flourishes, sinking its tendrils into all life giving lands. The Green sustains life, and is in return sustained by life. But what could cause the Green, or at least portions of it, to recoil in fear? To recoil so jarringly that it tears lands away from their worlds, depositing them on new ones?
Welcome to Orona - a large, wild continent on a new world. Players will play characters from one group or another that have recently been uprooted and transplanted to a new world. Some of these groups are large provinces, once part of massive empires, and some mere villages, but they all find themselves in a new world recovering from the upheaval that took them here; rebuilding, healing, and exploring.
Join a crew of chartered explorers. Explore the wilderness. Find resources, fearsome beasts, treasure, and fame! Defend and support fledgling settlements, and build relationships with the people there.
