Helloooooooo friends! Welcome back to another week of announcements and another week of chaos! I'm here, ready to go with this week's newsletter!
❗ Announcements ❗
🎲 Tabletop Weekend on the Horizon!
It feels like just yesterday that our first Tabletop Weekend of the year happened, and now we're already preparing for the next one! Just like last time, Tabletop Weekend, happening the Weekend of Week 9, will be a chance to play games with all of our different factions and just enjoy a weekend of gaming! This tabletop weekend will also come hand in hand with other events including quiz so get excited for that! This time around, we want to hear what you've got planned, so if you have any specific games you want to play, tournaments you want to organise, an RPG game you want to run, we want to hear about it on the discord! Come chat with us and get excited for a fabulous weekend of gaming.
🃏 Mafia Collab!
And to add to the excitement of Tabletop Weekend, we've got a collab to go alongside it! Our friends over at Mafia will be joining us on the Saturday of Tabletop Weekend playing some of their most popular social deduction games, such as Mafia, Blood on the Clocktower, Secret Hitler, Coup, etc. It will be running from 19:00-22:00 on Saturday 30th November. The mafia games will be running in B2.04 and will continue to run overnight until 7am on Sunday! This is a great chance for members of both societies to get a taste as to how the other one works, so we can't wait to see you all swing by the Mafia Soc games that evening!

💭 What happened last week? 💭
Last Week in LARP!!
Captain John Brownbeard received word that Archbaron von Blud was hunting an ancient scroll. He gathered a crew to get this scroll before the Archbaron's agents, and set off into the desert. This scroll was in a temple, and people nearby reported seeing things that weren't there, and our party went to it, encountering sand spirits, snakes, and scorpions, where Captain Brownbeard got stung. The temple itself was trapped to the deeps and back, but our party made it through, with the venom from the scorpion sting beginning to affect Brownbeard more and more. They met Paps, the traps spirit, an automaton who insisted on making them answer questions, fought more scorpions and some zombies, and found the scroll. Only for a shadow mage, von Blud's agent, to step out from the shadows and snatch the scroll right from their grasp, paralysing them and disappearing again with a smoke bomb. They chased the mage to the port, where they fought valiantly to try and claim the scroll, only for all 4 of them: Captian John Brownbeard, Hawthorn, W.L., Maddie, and Bolster Strombreacher, to be captured and taken to the Royal Dungeons of Tourn.
Last Week in RPGs!!
- The Kingdom of Igadale - This week, the adventurers found themselves headed to the Feywild, to find a wand that most members of the party had a vested interest in. In entering the fey, each member of the group was interrogated by Dryads before being permitted entry. Not suspicious... at all... Upon entering, the party's half-elven bard Arietta was reunited with a whole side of her family she hadn't met before, bringing an extra level of awkwardness to an already very awkward situation. The group also met a strange elvish looking traveller who appeared to be the one who gave them the prophecy. She confirmed that this group was not the first she had given prophecies to, revealing ancestors in our PCs 3 lineages that has been sat here many generations before them. Shocking the group quite significantly, before they could ask more questions, the woman disappeared leaving them in the feywild to continue their mission. After a brief run in with some pixies, the group acquired the wand, also finding Arietta's father in the process, and now, have the mission of getting out of the feywild undetected. Much easier said than done.
Extra Bonus End Bit
Last week in the minigame, Feldspar had scrambled the RPG PARANOIA so good job to those of you in the discord who got it right! This week, the question for 'Feldspar Buttons Firebreath III's Funky Beloved Fun (the obnoxiously named minigame)' is another terribly described board game! Can you get it? Let us know in the discord!
'Build spooky place, then get double-crossed by a friend. Whoops!'
Hydrate, don't diedrate, have a good week, and I'll see you next time! 💜
