GAMES WE LOVE

Vaesen

set in the 19th century mythic north, vaesen deals with myth and legend, and things that hide in the shadows. it's a darkly gothic game where players are able to see the creatures which lurk on the periphery, the vaesen. it's creepy, atmospheric, and utterly wonderful. 

Those Dark Places

its space, but not as we know it. Those dark places takes players on a terrifying journey through the stars, allowing them to experience the gritty, dangerous reality of space travel. you work for a corporation, and need to make it to the end of your tenure to retire. sounds easy enough, right? think again.

Dragonbane

who doesn't want to play a ninja duck?! 

dragonbane perfectly combines the spirit of high-fantasy adventure with a wonderful dash of humour. It's fun and it's frantic, and players of all ages and experience will have a blast with it. It's adaptable to be ideal for both long-term campaigns or fast and furious one-shots.

Is it expensive to play RPGs?

Not at all! It really doesn't have to cost the earth to get started with roleplaying. We have some awesome starter boxes, which contain everything you need to get going, which start at about £22. Of course, if you decide that you want to really get into things, we have loads of fun extras like shiny dice, rolling trays, GM screens, and even giant fluffy d20s!

 

Can you help me get started?

Of course! We are more than happy to help. Let us know either by contacting us on here, or in person, and we can arrange a taster session for you to see if roleplaying is for you!

What kind of games are there?

There's a setting for everyone! You can choose from real-life settings, entirely imagined, or an eclectic mix of both. It can be fantasy, sci-fi,  or modern day. There are games based on blockbuster movies, TV shows, and famous literature. Humour, horror, or historical. And if nothing quite fits, then why not try the 'homebrew' technique, where you tweak things to fit your own needs. There's really no limit to where you can go and what you can do with RPGs.
