Candi Crush	Welcome to the great city of Pire. It's the year 2308 (CR era) and overall, things are good.

Candi Delgado was a bright young accountant that you couldn't imagine anyone ever wanting to harm. But unfortunately they did, and it doesn't seem like the police have any leads. Luckily you're not alone. There are others in a similar situation, and like you, there's something... different about them.	Mystery	City of Mist by Son of Oak Games.	Kyle B	Beginners are welcome!

Nobilis: The Struggle for Apotheosis	Things sure got wild during Quelmar's War of Many Names, especially during the War of Apotheosis, where everyone and their dog (figuratively but also not not-literally) tried to ascend to godhood to secure a place for themselves in the afterlife, since the usual theocratic channels for the afterlife had become a bit... crowded. What was that like, during such a strange time of divine ascension and chaos? Let's find out... Nobilis is a diceless TTRPG system where you play as a divine aspect of a concept. Want to play as the God of Light? Sure. How about the God of Leit Motif? God of Procrastination? God of That Feeling When You Get A Really Nice Cast Iron Pan As A Gift? Now we're talking. Bring your roleplay, creativity, and improvisation to the table as you explore the powers of a niche divine domain. This system is less about worrying about succeeding (hence diceless) and more about the consequences of your intervention.	Conversation Focused	Nobilis/Eos Press/Jenna K.
