Host: Goodman Games Twitch Channel
Looking for something to terrify your Wednesday afternoon? Judge Stephen Newton is happy to help out, as we debut the video of him running Creep, Skrag, Creep at Cyclops Con!
The ship is adrift and a crew is dead. When the passengers of the Star of Nostro awaken, drugged and bound, and discover the crew is missing, a desperate race for survival begins. The vessel was meant to transport your group of humble villagers to a brighter future. It is now a coffin ship filled with mysterious deaths, dark plots, and a stalking horror that will not stop until it has feasted on every last soul.
Will your characters’ ingenuity be quick enough to find a means to survive, or will you too fall victim to what creeps in the shadows?

Host: Goodman Games Twitch Channel
Join Judge Terry Olson as we present the two-part DCC Lankhmar game he ran for Cyclops Con! Terry runs the players through his own adventure, DCC Lankhmar #4: Violence for Votishal.
Votishal the Silent is on the rise! Ascending from antiquity, the religion threatens to dominate Lankhmar’s Street of the Gods. Alas, something is killing the clergy! Desperately offering a fortune in reward, they’ve abandoned their temple. But it is by no means vacant. Intrepid souls must face nickers, alley-bashers, and magical guardians, while avoiding sinister traps to uncover the building’s secrets. Even the sewers have something to hide. Only keen minds and blades can stop the violence for Votishal!

DCC #94: Neon Knights
Host: Goodman Games Twitch Channel
Judge Brendan brings the glowing power from an ancient being into play for a group that he runs through DCC #94: Neon Knights. A re-broadcast from Cyclops Con, this is a chance to watch the play once more.
Ten thousand flawless killers surround the city. Utterly silent in battle and in death, they seem unconquerable. They mean to choke the life out of the age-old city and leave it an empty ruin.
The city calls upon its heroes to defeat this unnatural menace. The heroes gather to ponder the question: how do you defeat an impregnable foe?
And then a wizard from a far-off world whisks the heroes away to fight a battle of a very different sort, leaving them with a strange neon pink glow around their eyes…
