HAUS Rules RPGs
by Carl Whithaus
Adventures and monster hunting!!! The HAUS Rules Gaming Collaborative gathers and plays TTRPGs once a week. Games range from D&D 5e to Monster of the Week (MOTW).In Season 3, Nycto 2123, we play MOTW. Our hunters have to solve mysteries in a Shadowrun-esque Oakland a hundred years in the future.The D&D 5e games include two parties adventuring in the Realms of the Seven Sisters. These campaigns are happening at roughly the same time in the game world, but the adventuring groups are each pursuing different objectives. S1 Return of Dragons follows one set and S2 Ragged Coasts another.
