'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:
MONSTERS! (HOUSE GM: TIBET)
SYSTEM: Monster Of The
Week
THE STORY: We
both know it. There are Monsters out there. Wild and wicked things
that are summoned from some great unknown and enter our world just
to eat away at it. But you, you hunt these creatures, you kill them
because no one else can.
Monster of the Week is a TTRPG inspired by shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Supernatural, The X-Files, etc. You will be playing a band of traveling hunters, entering the next lonely town along your accursed travels.
PRE-GENS PROVIDED?: Guided Character Creation before
play.
CONTENT WARNINGS: Violence.
HEX SQUAD - THE ARDENT PRINCE (HOUSE
GM: RORY)
SYSTEM: D&D5E 2024

penitentiary inmates recruited into Task Force Hex, colloquially
known as the Hex Squad. A council-sanctioned, expendable, black-ops
intelligence unit comprising the prison’s most infamous inmates who
agree to undertake high-risk, covert missions in exchange for
commuted sentences. Its very existence? Denied. Its missions? Off
the record. Its survival rate? Minimal.
Your task? Simple. All you need to do is follow the Director’s instructions:
1 - Investigate the history of fey anomalies occurring at the
Shoalfall Docks.
2 - Locate, capture and secure the source of the anomalies.
3 - Carry out all orders issued to you on mission without question or hesitation.
