Honey Heist
A one page RPG by Grant Howitt (who also created The Witch is Dead)

The Story
The party are criminally minded bears planning a heist at HoneyCon 2017 (think Ocean's 11, but with bears). The main story elements are randomly rolled from a table. This year the Con is being held at a Lavish Lakeside Camp; protected with armed guards and electronically locked doors. The organizer, Roger Munden (named for a critter who donated a large number of bits to the day's show), is ruthless and corrupt; which is why the bears are trying to steal this year's prize, the Queen of All Bees, who was exiled and recently returned.

Back to Basic
The 1980 edition of D&D Basic Module B1: In Search of the Unknown. Notable differences from D&D as we know it today: Notes: Ivan was expected to be working on International Tabletop Day planning, but ended being able to attend as a player. Jason is using his original copy of the system.
 * Elf/Dwarf/Halfling are classes, not races.
 * Clerics do not have spells at 1st level.
 * Alignments are only Lawful, Neutral or Chaotic (Good/Evil is not part of an alignment in the 1980 edition only).
 * Each alignment has its own language.

The Story
Players are all recent graduates from Gygax Adventure Academy (GAA) in the town of Basique, a basic sort of town. The party are spoiled rich kids whose parents sent them to this expensive academy to get them away from home. The Adventure Academy is located in Basique because of all the legends surrounding the town, including that of Roghan the Fearless and Zelligar the Unknown, legendary figures known to the party from childhood stories. The party decide to investigate the veracity of tales of Roghan and Zelligar's stronghold of Quasqueton, which also reportedly contains the wizard workshop of Zelligar, containing the strongest magics known to man.

Due to player conflicts they decide to play Big Motherfuckin' Crab Truckers, a throwback to the original No Survivors. "Big Mutherfukin' Crab Truckers is a role-playing game about big motherfucking crabs. Or crab-people. Some shit like that. [...] And they truck. Yeah, they drive shit across the desert to please their Mutherfuckin' Crab Goddess. And you will truck it there, and you will like it, and you will pull an all-day and all-night ride to fuckin' do it."
