🎲 Big RPG
Big RPG is on the Horizon! But HOLLY, what IS a BIG RPG? Well, many groups of individual parties play in the same room, all working together to achieve some communal goal!! This might include working cross table to figure out puzzles, helping people with items and combat… and possibly coming together for a boss fight. This will be starting at 6pm on Saturday 15th March (FAB2.43). Anna and Fran are still looking for GMs so if you would be interested, drop them a DM. Otherwise, look out for sign ups coming soon!

💭 What happened last week? 💭
Last Week in LARP!!
Last Week in LARP: Sir Grubworth Foxtrot brought esteemed King's Reeve Valmeth von Ostport, linguist Hawthorne, W. L. and hunter Rextec. They trekked up the Voidscrapers on the hunt for lost Skoian relic, a dagger used in a bond-breaking ceremony. They walked the mountains, finding bandits, wolves bears and cultists.
The further up they went, the more odd things they saw. First was a Nameless, who wished Grubworth well in his attempts to become the noble he says he is. Then a very chatty mind fragment began to follow the party, tormenting Grubworth on purpose, mocking his background and occasionally filling him with doubt, fear and mindless rage.
Eventually after solving much of their problems with violence, they found the dagger, surrounded by fragments. They fought through them, cutting them down before reclaiming the dagger, but not before the mind fragment could reveal an old identity of Grubworth's.
Last Week in RPGs!!
- Dread: Kronos - A group of employees at the AI development company Kronos are barred from leaving: the lift is broken and the door to the stairs is jammed shut. PC Drew (who lives in the server rooms) finds a person chained to the server who wasn’t there before. He attempts to restart the servers running the AI thinking something may have gone VERY wrong, but whatever AI is living in there is not happy and the servers start lashing out. PC Walter is taken over by ice encasing his body as he attempts to investigate some red text flashing over his computer screen, Dennis talks to his CEO mummy. Finding her hiding under the desk, wires and machinery covering her body, she lashes out at Dennis in an attempt to make him like her, Dennis deftly avoids this and throws the two of them through the window. Walter prowls the office and finds Rachel. He backs her into the server room before consuming her, wrapping her in wires and adding her and later PC Robert in a similar fashion to the AI’s collection. Matilda to make a run for the now working lift while Drew is cornered in the server room, making a last stand. He burns down the server, destroying the AI, himself, and the entire office building, but not before Matilda stood outside to watch it all fall. (Highlight Courtesy of Skye on Discord)
Last Week in TABLETOP WEEKEND!!
Tabletop Weekend was another fantastic success! We saw plenty of great gaming happening from all of our factions. We saw games of The Crew, Magic, and an intense Gaslands Competition. Big congratulations to Josh on that win!
Extra Bonus End Bit
Last week 'Feldspar Buttons Firebreath III's Funky Beloved Fun (the obnoxiously named minigame)', the RPG was of course the fantastic Thirsty Sword Lesbians! I highly suggest it if you haven't given it a go yet. This week Feldspar's back again, but also with Sneak the Snake (name yet to be solidified). What boardgame are the two of them hiding? (Also featured, Feldspar bestowing mascotship onto Sneak because I forgot to put it in the Newsletter last week....)
Hydrate, don't diedrate, have a good week, and I'll see you next time! 💜
