THE GAMES WE PLAY
We play a wide range of roleplaying games and board games. We usually have at least three roleplaying games running at the same time and we try and plan them a bit in advance so everyone knows what they're in next, and so the GMs can plan. We also have board games happening every week.
Our roleplaying games run in four or eight week 'cycles' so we can start and finish them around the same time. This also makes it easy for everyone to play different games with different people. It works really well.
