See all- Mutant Crawl Classics RPG - Mysteries Unknown Story-ArcHero's Hearth, Cincinnati, OH
In Mutant Crawl Classics you romp into the future world of Terra AD (After Disaster)! Whatever happened to the world, happened long ago. Now the races live in an uneasy harmony. You’re a wasteland wanderer: a mutant, a seeker, a robot-killer, or possibly a stoic shaman guarding forgotten ancient sciences. You seek triumph and technology, winning it with mutations and magic, soaked in the radiation and quantum fields of the mutated, the savage, the semi-sentient, and the artificially intelligent. Just beyond the horizon of your village lurk Mysteries Unknown. There are treasures to be won in the taboo lands and ruins, and you shall have them.
Play a Pure Strain Human, a Mutant, a Manimal, or a Plantient type of character. Pregens will be provided or roll up your own random level 1 character using the Mutant Crawl Classics rules if you have them.
If you've played MCC before, this story arc includes the Hive of the Overmind and When Manimals Attack! modules.

- Old School Essentials Advanced Fantasy RPG (D&D/BECMI)- Open Table, Ongoing GameHero's Hearth, Cincinnati, OH
(This is an ongoing, open-table game. New players are encouraged and welcome!)
Embark on an epic journey through the realms of imagination with Old School Essentials Advanced Fantasy, a masterfully crafted homage to the golden age of tabletop role-playing games. Inspired by the classic Basic D&D rules (BX / BECMI, minimal house-rules), this game system brings the magic and wonder of classic fantasy adventures to life, inviting you to explore a world where heroes rise, legends are born, and every roll of the dice weaves a new tale of glory and peril. Undertake epic quests that will test your courage, wit, and resolve. Dive into a richly detailed world with captivating lore, and endless possibilities for adventure.
Beginning with first level characters, you’ll search dangerous dungeons, traverse harrowing hex-crawls, and explore exotic environments—all in the name of wealth, fame, and glory.
I’ll be using a series of published and homemade adventures set in a homebrewed world, loosely connected allowing for players to drop-in-and-out as the games progress.
As with all our games, No Experience Necessary! Beginners and first-time players welcome.
