THE GAMES WE PLAY

We play a wide range of role playing games and board games. We usually have at least three role playing games running at the same time and we try and plan them a bit in advance so everyone knows what their in next (and so the GMs can plan...)

Our role playing games run in 'cycles' so we can start and finish them around the same time - this makes it easy for everyone to play different games with different people. It works really well.

Every five weeks we pause for a boardgames and one-shot RPG session. This is a great time for new people to drop in and play some games.

What's happening when?

We schedule all our upcoming events on Meetup.

There you'll find more details about each game that's running over the next few weeks. It's also a great way to chat with us if you're interesting in joining.

We love to hear from other gamers. You can also contact us directly via our Contact page.

Quick view

If you just want an idea of what we play, here's what roleplaying games we're currently playing and a few that we've played recently. You can click a game title for more details about each system.

Currently playing...

91 Kingdoms
You are the disciples of the order of eternal truth. You are sworn to keep the flame of civilisation alive. To destroy corruption wherever you find it - be it supernatural or mundane. You are all that keeps the wolves of chaos from the gates of the 91 kingdoms.

This is a dark fantasy game focused on investigating conspiracies and supernatural threats. It has a feel very similar to the Warhammer Fantasy setting and uses a system loosely based on PBTA.

Exalted - The hundred kingdoms
It has been almost three years since the rulers of Huan Sho defeated the titan of the Godless Lands, an ancient guardian titan buried in the middle of a defensive citadel. But Creation never rests, and whirls ever more towards chaos and destruction.

Amidst this chaos, the Solars of Huan Sho must defend all they have fought for - will they succeed, returning Creation to the glory and light of the Unconquered Sun, or will they fall beneath the ancient might of the Steel Sun?

Fate Core
You hand-picked few, highly capable volunteers must venture forth into the nuclear devastated land that was once England and secure the future of your home!

Keep your wits about you and your laser carbine charged as you negotiate with battle-hardened survivors, encounter malfunctioning automatons, overcome terrible irradiated beasts and rediscover wonders of a lost age.
Explore, Rebuild, Protect & Survive!

Vampire: The Masqurade
You are a vampire, struggling for survival, supremacy, and your own fading humanity—afraid of what you are capable of, and fearful of the inhuman conspiracies that surround you. As a vampire you suffer the pangs of the Hunger, the relentless and terrible thirst for human blood. If you refuse to deal with it, it will overcome your mind and drive you to terrible acts to slake it. You walk this razor's edge every night.

Recently Played...

The Dracula Dossier (Night's Black Agents)
A team of ex-covert operatives with a good reputation can get a lot of work if they don't ask too many questions. But too much discretion can be a bad thing. Now, caught between a mysterious conspiracy and an ancient, impossible nightmare, will the secrets you uncover help you survive, or will they guarantee an untimely death.... or worse?

Night’s Black Agents brings the GUMSHOE engine to the spy thriller genre, combining the propulsive paranoia of movies like Ronin and The Bourne Identity with supernatural horror straight out of Bram Stoker.

Dungeons & Dragons 5e: Shackled Souls
A blood moon rises, casting it's eerie glow upon a strange, petrified world, an ancient city rising ahead of you. Your last memories are of paying for a room in a tavern - shady, perhaps, but nothing unusual for a seasoned adventurer, despite the scarred and tattooed face of the innkeep, or the strange standing stones that surrounded the place.

But wherever you are, it isn't the world you remember, and the looks of surprise on your companions faces suggest this is equally new to them as well. As you come to, a savage growl cracks the air, the scent of blood, as creatures swarm out of the mist...

Tales from the Loop
The landscape was full of machines and scrap metal connected to the facility in one way or another. If you put your ear to the ground, you could hear the heartbeat of the Loop – the purring of the Gravitron, the central piece of engineering magic that was the focus of the Loop’s experiments.

Now, you can step into the amazing world of the Loop. In this roleplaying game in the vein of E.T. and Stranger Things, you'll play teenagers solving mysteries connected to the Loop.

Fate Core: Law on the edge
In 2240 on a planet several years travel from Earth you are police officers in a deeply divided city.

You are part of a team from both the underfunded and overworked the state police, and the corporate police, extremely effective and often brutally effective. Together you are investigating a crime which may determine the future of the city.

Sentinel Comics: The Roleplaying Game
You play as the Freedom Five and their former intern Unity in the timeline gap between the end of the Sentinels of the Multiverse card game and Sentinel Comics: The Roleplaying Game.

Heroes, you must help rebuild Megalopolis and reunite the hero teams of the world, all while staving off attacks from the villains who threaten us all! Can you uncover who is behind these attacks before it’s too late?

Coriolis: The Third Horizon
The Third Horizon is a remote cluster of star systems, home to proud civilisations both new and old. The First Come, descendants of the colonists of old, worship the Icons while the newly arrived Zenithians pursue an aggressive imperialistic agenda through trade and military power.

The path of the three al-Massan siblings has reached its end. One dead, one ship destroyed, the others too damaged to fly again. But with this ending comes opportunity; the remaining crew members have a chance to strike out and forge their own destinies.... Will they continue the al-Massan legacy, or tread a new path?

End of the World: Zombie Apocalypse
The dead rise and stalk the earth, hungry for the flesh of the living. All that stands between a zombie and your brain are your skills, wits, and talents. Life as you know it is about to end, and one way or another, you’ll experience the apocalypse and make your way through the aftermath… if you can survive that long!

In this game you play as yourself during the tumult of the apocalypse.

Legacy: Life Among the Ruins
The world your forebears knew is gone, ravaged by a catastrophe so wide-ranging that few living even know its origins. The new world is twisted and strange, filled with the distorted remains of the world before and the strange new things created by the Fall.

Legacy is an epic post-apocalyptic game of age-spanning factions exploring and rebuilding a shattered world. Each player controls a "family", which could be a community, kingdom, cult or army. In each age of the game you'll play one representative of your family, but you'll also take actions on a grander scale on behalf of your faction. As the ages turn, you'll gather your resources, rebuild, and face challenges.

Board / card Games

We've got many board games and card games. Some are owned by the club, many more are owned by our members. Here's just a few we enjoy. You can click the image for a larger version and click the title to open the game listing on Board Game Geek.

Spirit Island
A cooperative, settler-destruction strategy game.

Players are different spirits of the land, each with their own unique elemental powers, forced to defend their island home from colonizing Invaders spreading blight and destruction. Work with your fellow spirits and the Dahan (local islanders) to increase your power and drive the invading colonists from your island in this deep and complex area-control game!

Sentinels of the Multiverse
A cooperative, fixed-deck card game with a comic book flavour. Each player plays as one of ten heroes, against one of four villains, and the battle takes place in one of four different dynamic environments.

A team of heroes, all with impressive powers and abilities stand between the world and the forces of evil. Will you help them? Answer the call to protect the multiverse!

Dead of Winter
A meta-cooperative psychological survival game. Players are working together toward one common victory condition — but for each individual player to achieve victory, he must also complete his personal secret objective.

Certain games could end with all players winning, some winning and some losing, or all players losing. Work toward the group's goal, but don't get walked all over by a loudmouth who's looking out only for his own interests!

Lanterns: The Harvest Festival
Lanterns: The Harvest Festival is a tile placement game set in imperial China. Players act as artisans decorating the palace lake with floating lanterns. The artisan who earns the most honor before the festival starts wins the game.

Carcassonne
In Carcassonne, players build the area surrounding this impressive city, one tile at a time. They then place a follower on fields, cities, roads or monasteries in order to score as many points as possible. These followers will become knights,monks, farmers and thieves, depending on where they are placed. No matter their followers' function, the player who will most cleverly use their followers will win the game...

Flash Point: Fire Rescue
A cooperative game of fire rescue. Work as firefighters attempting to rescue victims from a raging building fire. As you work, the fire is spreading to other parts of the building, causing structural damage and possibly blocking off pathways.
