Here’s a few game that I want run together with a pitch and some links for further reading.
Call Of Cthulhu - Gaslight Link to heading
[Crunch:Low/Medium] Victorian era London. Class divides are strong and discrimination is everywhere. Chuck in the horrors of Cthulhu to break down the hierarchy and everyones sanity.
Very simple to play but with lots of depth to dive into as well. You aren’t meant to defeat everything you see because sometimes it’s a god of unknownable horrors.

Delta Green Link to heading
[Crunch:Low/Medium]
The world is ending and right before calamity the good guys sweep in and save the day. You are those good guys but what does it cost your sanity to see the things you have seen.
Based on Call Of Cthulhu but modern era. Easy to play and lots of cool character building systems. You should hopefully save the world but maybe not make it out alive.

Mothership Link to heading
**[Crunch: Low]**
A crew tries (and often fails) to survive the vast expansive of space and all of the human and inhuman horrors it contains.
Simple system with very little to learn to pickup and play. But your character is very unlikely to change much and will almost certainly be dead.

Worlds Without Number Link to heading
[Crunch: High] Old school fantasy swords and sorcery. Delve into dungeons, stab things and collect loot.
Sometimes called Old School Renaissance (OSR), it’s tactical and often brutal so you have to think before you do things! Often battles can be over quickly with a decisive plan.

Shadowdark Link to heading
[Crunch: Low] A much more streamlined dungeon crawling adventure. Use magic, steel, and wits to delve into mysterious ruins, lost cities, and monster-infested depths. Wondrous treasures and long-forgotten secrets await you! But don’t let your last torch burn out, or you could be swallowed by the Shadowdark…
