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 board games and one-shot RPG session. This is a great time for new people to drop in and play some games.

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... |
