ShadowDenizen -- Adventus Regis (Part I of the “Ripples from Carcosa” trilogy, a Call of Cthulhu adventure set in the Roman Empire)
During the height of the Roman Empire, a small group of vacationing Roman citizens are about to be drawn into the web of the Mythos, and find themselves enemies of an evil intelligence that crosses millennia.
This is a Call of Cthulhu adventure using the “Cthulhu Invictus” sourcebook. This game is open and accessible to all, newbies and veterans alike. Pre-Generated characters will be provided, and there will be a brief introduction of the rules-set and important rules in advance (though the CoC rules are pretty lightweight and fairly easy to assimilate.) 6 players.

AFTERNOON
Qualidar -- Iron Dragon Fire Under Heaven (Mutants & Masterminds)
Cham Fau is a sleepy riverside city. The rice farmers gossip about the harvest, the young new magistrate, and who has the best boat for the River Flower Festival. But you've spent the last couple of days investigating mysterious disappearances, river pirates, and secret conspiracies. Can you uncover who is behind the trouble before it's too late? It's a double helping of mystery and martial arts mayhem via Mutants and Masterminds 3e.
Cast of Characters (which we'll pick at the game):
Mok To-Bon; Hulking warrior, lazy guardsman, but you don't mess with his family's boat.
Fong Yuen; A traveling wu-jen. It's easy to be the crotchety old man when you can make things explode.
Chou Liu Pang; A dashing out-of-town noble with his family honor to protect and more than his share of secrets.
Hou Tze; How does a goofy bald teenager make his way alone in the kingdom? Guardian spirits and Mad Monkey Kung Fu!
Chu Chu Chong; You don't complain about the service when the waitress can chuck you through the wall into the next closest restaurant...
K'ai Hua Lui; This reserved beauty has spent much of her time exploring the seedy underbelly of Cham Fou since she arrived from downriver, but why?

WalkingCorpse -- New Warrior Titans of Gotham Serve Some Young Justice! (Marvel Super-Heroes Adventure Game (SAGA system))
Set in an alternate DCU future that also serves as the dawn of the era of Marvel heroes (i.e. crossover free for all), this game boasts mostly teen heroes.
Twenty years ago, Superman responded to an urgent distress call in the Middle East, disappearing shortly afterward. A few years later, governments around the world started cracking down on costumed heroes and metahumans. Eventually, the other heroes disappeared as well (though there are still urban legends of a certain vigilante roaming the rooftops of Gotham City). Fast-forward to present day: Accepted Students Day at Gotham University. All is calm and serene until a superhuman danger tied to a familiar past unleashes violence upon the faculty and families. Will new heroes worth marvelling at or saviors only seen in such pulp literature as detective comics step in to save the day? And what dark secret spurs it all on?
The SAGA system is pretty easy to pick up, using a FATE deck for action resolution. Each player has a hand of cards based on their experience. This hand represents both their ability to control whether they succeed in their actions and how much abuse they can take. The basics can be handled easily at the start, and the other stuff can be resolved during play.
