INTRO TO RPGs IS BACK! (with a vengeance)

Dungeons and Dragons (D&D) is perhaps the most popular Tabletop Roleplaying Game (RPG) of all time. If you have ever been interested in trying out RPGs, including D&D, this is your chance! Tabletop RPGs are something of a precursor to modern-day videogames, where a group of friends gather around a table to experience and interact with a thrilling story devised by a Game Master (GM). The GM for the group will guide the players through a story they themselves…

Intro to RPGs 2023/4 Part 2
FAB

Have you ever played a role-playing-game? Heard of one and thought "Hey, I'd like to try that!" Randomly clicked on this event and thought "this looks pretty cool!" Well, you're in the right place. Our team of GMs are running a number of one-shots on Saturday afternoon.

A "one-shot" - is a one off, self-contained story. As such, this is by far the best chance to try an RPG without an extended commitment. All you need is a good imagination - complete newcomers are very welcome! Your GM will be able to guide…

Alien: Chariot of the Gods
Saturday 15th, 12-6pm FAB4.73

Fancy a go at a really simple, yet terrifying RPG experience that requires no experience? Look no further.

This Cinematic adventure involves the crew of a cargo space-ship (you!) en-route to the Weyland-Yutani outpost on Sutter's World, a colony in outer space. But of course, it wouldn't be an ALIEN scenario without something, or, everything going wrong now, would it...

Alien: Chariot of the Gods - A cinematic oneshot that I have run several times before. It's set in the ALIEN universe (yes, the film serie…

Ultra-Cyber Gladiator Rumble! (AKA 'Oli makes everything OP')
Saturday 11th 12-6pm MS.04 (Zeeman - no humanities available @ end of term)

Have you ever wanted to play high-level, high-octane D&D with a cyberpunk twist? Well you're in luck! The game involves your adventurers being placed in a space-gladiator arena against hordes of enemies in front of the audience of Baphomet, the Abyssal deity of violence and mazes. Solve puzzles and fight your way out of the nightmare!

I'm running an absolute mess of a oneshot on Saturday 11th Dec from 12-6pm which will involve level 15 characters (anything goes, as long as you check with me!) who are g…

The Haunting of Ypsilon 14, Mothership (In-person!) [Hallowe'ek]
Saturday 30th 2-7pm H0.64

rpgoneshothalloweek

Mothership RPG

During a routine cargo job on a remote asteroid mining base, you learn that one of the workers has disappeared.
No blood, no body, no record of the airlock opening. Just gone.

What more is there to say? Welcome to this spooky Sci-fi Horror oneshot!
Mothership is inherently a Sci-fi horror RPG system, it is unfair and meant to be. Expect weird, unexplainable alien things around every corner, and they're all out to get you!

Survive. Solve. Save. Pick one.

There are also a range of other games I could run sh…

Thursday 28th (When it's dark) - Flexible Discord

rpgoneshothalloweek2021

Ten Candles 🕯

Ten days ago something, or someone, blotted out the
sky. Now no stars can be seen, all communication with
satellites has been lost, and the sun no longer lights up the sky.
Five days after this anomaly occurred, They came.
No one knows exactly who or what They are,
but two very important things are clear.
They fear the light.
They’re coming for you.

Though you know your characters will die,
you must have hope that they will survive.

Ten Candles is a tragic horror, time based, cooperative storytelling ga…

The Wild Sheep Chase
13th Jan 2024, 12-5pm TBC

The party’s attempt to grab a rare afternoon of downtime is interrupted by a frantic sheep equipped with a Scroll of Speak to Animals and a fierce determination to get their attention. This is no mere beast, however, but a wizard fallen victim to an embittered apprentice wielding a Wand of True Polymorph! Transformed assassins are looking to grab themselves a mutton dinner, while the only object capable of restoring his opposable thumbs lies in the hands of his former pupil and current nemesis. Fortunatel…

Dusk City Outlaws
Scene fades in on a Gothic city at dawn as the words "New Dunhaven" appear on screen Location text Cliché.

One letter falls from the cart into a puddle "XXXX, a noblewoman, has passed away, please be aware of canal diversions on xx/xx/xx" with a coded note attached "your skills are needed, we'll be in touch" a hand picks up the l…
