To end term 2 with a bang, we'll be having a Battlebond flashback draft!

Battlebond is an exciting departure from a normal limited draft - it is a two-headed giant draft. I advise you read up on how the draft is performed here.
I also advise finding yourself a partner in advance, and signing up at the same time as them. If you're looking for a blind date, we will pair up any singles on the day ;)
Remember, you must sign up here in or…

Star Wars: Force and Destiny (and Edge of the Empire)

“It is a dark time for the galaxy. Though the brave heroes of the rebel alliance fight against the tyranny of the galactic empire, countless systems still tremble under the emperor’s iron fist. However, with the death star destroyed a spark of hope has been ignited in those oppressed.
The JEDI, guardians of peace and justice, are gone, and those that remain are hunted by the ruthless INQUISITORS. The stories of the Jedi are passing to legend as the empire spread deceit and propaganda.
With the force guidi…

Deadlands

Hi folks, or should i say Howdy.
Now I know that DnD is the most popular game system here. And don't get me wrong, dashing around as the mighty heroes of fantasy, seducing dragons, smiting rogues, and generally eldritch blasting everything that moves is good fun. But perhaps you're interested, like me, in something a bit different. A little grittier, riskier and more dramatic. With still plenty of opportunities for insane heroics and regrettable decisions.

If so might I suggest to you Deadlands. A system a…

【outside context problem】A Halloween Oneshot
18:00-22:00+ S1.141

Anyone wanting a spooky Halloween one shot in a new but familiar system. If you enjoy dark fantasy, with a fair dashing of horror on the side you will appreciate both nature of this one-shot and the inbuilt horror mechanics. You will be given the opportunity to quickly build a character or to use a character sheet already provided. In order to keep this brief and to preserve the element of surprise. However, I can tell you that you will be a party of guards, adventuring into the winter evenings to find sup…

Adventures in Middle Earth, D&D 5e

Hi there,

I am looking to start running some games this term, looking particularly at Adventures in Middle Earth, whether a campaign or series of oneshots.
I ran sessions back last year and those who took part in them will remember how great they were. Scoping out the system over multiple weeks I am convinced by it as a great alternative to normal 5e. It manages to capture that LoTR feel perfectly and the games always felt (at least for me) natural and complete.

So, I am looking to gather a bit of informat…
