Ignore the Rick role in the title. I was lacking in creativity of titles.
But Hi! And welcome to reading week! (for some, sorry stem people). Guys, I finally have a small break. It’s not very long tho I go into auditions for a new show this weekend. (as I was writing this my curtains fell down… I need suggestions on a better way to keep them up - a couple days later, update, they are bluetacked to the wall… a few more days later they are staying up-ish)
But enough of my shenanigans, on with the important stuff!!
❗ Announcements ❗
🎴Intro to Riftbound🎴
Come along this week to our CCGs session 6-10pm on Thursday where we are doing a collab with esports!
This will be an introductory event to "Riftbound" which is a league of legends TCG that will/has released recently. The session is aimed at teaching people how to play the game. Please do not worry about needing to have the game yourself as we will have decks provided to teach with.
But the plan is that Edric (our assistant CCGs rep) will teach everyone at 6:15 with a PowerPoint presentation, so please try to get to B2.02 at 6:15.
If you are late however you will still get taught do not worry!
🖌️Painting Competition 🎨
During the next Tabletop Weekend, on Saturday 6th December, we will be holding a painting competition!
So if you have painted any models (or units of model) please bring them along to showcase them. These can be for Wargs or for RPGs!
Additionally, whether it is your first time painting or you're a pro at it there will be prizes to be won in both cases.
So if you haven’t started yet you have four weeks!! Go, go, go!

💭 What happened last week? 💭
Last week in LARP
- Everything Starts Falling Apart Slightly:
The church of Ashen hired our party once again, this time to protect one of their priests if the tensions in Annd boiled over after a public speech, bringing them through the sewers to a safehouse.
Making their way into Annd went well enough, despite some very insistent
banditslost travellers who just really needed some firewood, and doesn't that shield just look like it would burn so well? Once in the city, it wasn't long before our pistolier got a bit too trigger-happy however, shooting first a merchant... and then an official executioner carrying out his duties on a guild thief. Oops. After escaping from the custody of the city guards (it turns out trying to save a guild member puts you in the thieves' guild's good books for a bit), the party found their priest, and fought their way to the sewers after things got predictably violent. After successfully protecting them from rats, crocodiles and a band of Quexxlians, they finally reached the safehouse, only to find a nasty surprise - a dagger in their priest's back. Despite a fierce fight however, they managed to stabilise both the priest and their own Reeve, making it to the safehouse in time.
Last week in Wargs
