RPG Intros 2018 - Prospective DMs

Avatar for Callum Callum ( Callum )

Right, so RPG intros will be happening on Saturday 29th September, the weekend of Welcome Week. We're doing the same thing as usual - meeting up in the Social Sciences cafe at 12 noon to get to know the new people, give them time to show up, etc. We'll then split into rooms at 1pm. We should have around 9 rooms, which will hopefully be plenty. The sessions will last however long they last, then we're heading over to the Phantom Coach for a meal, drink, social type thing (booked for 7pm).There may or may not end up being a second RPG intro session the following week, though that is highly dependent upon demand and currently seems quite unlikely.

As far as sessions go, I'll kick things off by saying that I plan to run a D&D 5E session about a town dealing with a severe wolf problem, with some deviations from the obvious cliche, and at least one interesting twist.

I will have an alternate option if people seem uninterested in the primary one, but it is not expected that everyone has two sessions prepared

I’ll be running a D&D 5e game aimed towards newer players, consisting of up to 5 minor adventures ranging from social encounters to dungeon exploration.

I will be running, for the tenth and final time, my Feng Shui one-shot The Convent of Doom.

I can run 5e D&D.
As a noob I still need to work on my improvisational characterisation so it will be a bit light on that side of things, and a bit more tactical combat focused. Good for beginners picking up mechanics.

The two sessions I am currently contemplating are. The players traveling with merchants, then intervene to save a village from marauding undead, then get pointed to a cave with suspicious activity. Alternatively they are in a tavern, since they look the adventuring type the barman asks them to clear giant rats from the cellar before the taps run dry, there is a hole in the wall leading to some very sneaky goblins.
The goblin one has a puzzle or 2 and both have a couple of twists and unexpected moments.

I'll be running my one-shot in the Warhammer 40k RPG system Dark Heresy.

I could run a 5e one shot. Potentially either a murder mystery but more likely one called Shadows over the Moonsea. I would be happy to do it but I would like to be a reserve DM in case there are enough 5e DMs


Reality is just a matter of opinion - one I happen to disagree with.

Yeah, it's totally cool if you just wanna be a reserve. Come along and if you need to DM, you can, otherwise you're free to just play.

I should be able to run a Call of Cthulhu 7th ed game. Probably run the Haunting one shot scenario.

Similar to Timi, I'd like to be running a reserve 5e game where the players have been hired to investigate an eldritch cult of sorts.
Mine is dependent on whether I'm in the area as well as whether there's enough DMs, as I still need to make plans.
If need be, I can probably bring down my Lost Mines of Phandelver stuff if anyone wants some easy "ready-made" adventure stuff.

I’m hoping to run a game of the latest (FFG’s) Legend of the Five Rings. I’ve got two adventures, one for if all players are reasonably au fait with RPGs and one for if there are any new players.

As always, I have Call of Cthulhu on standby.


Furthermore, I consider that Carthage must be destroyed.

I'll be doing a 5E one-shot. I've not actually written it yet, but my current idea is a jungle adventure with the players looking for an ancient tomb. I'll definitely be able to take 5 players, and I can try going above that if necessary.

Is your one The Wolves of Welton Callum? I've run that one twice for complete beginners, and it's pretty good.

I'd like to run a Warhammer Fantasy RPG one-shot. It's a ready-made one-shot from the book called "Through the Drakwald" in which the players travel through the forest to flee the Beastmen and have a few encounters on they way. I can take up to 5 players (6 at a push).

@soupsmith Lol, yeah. Too lazy/busy with other things to come up with something from scratch.

Anyone who's definitely running a session, if you wouldn't mind making a quick post (elevator pitch of your session??) here: https://www.warwicktabletop.co.uk/forum/thread/202/ that'd be great. This is the link we're handing out to people interested in/signed up to come to the event, so obviously avoid spoilers, etc. and be nice to the new peeps :)

I will definitely be running a 5e session of some description, but I haven't posted anything yet as I can't decide which one of the plans I've got hanging around to use.

I can run a oneshot from the DMs guild if we need more DM's, I'll prepare it just in case.
