System: Ballad Hunters by by Tristan Zimmerman

Britain, 1813. You are amateur folklorists working as agents of the Crown. Across the island, the folk ballads of the common people are coming to life. The dead walk, dragons rise, lovers betray one another, authorities condemn innocents to die — whatever happens in the song happens in real life. It’s up to you, armed with a little ballad magic, to decipher the clues in each song and keep people from getting hurt. Welcome to Ballad Hunters!

ONE-SHOTS! Driven by the whims of the Happy Jacks crew, these games are (usually) self contained into one session. They often have guest players or GMs, and are ALWAYS a lot of fun!
