Hey all, come play RPGs this Sunday! As always, beginner-friendly but see below for the different RPGs on offer, and remember to check your confirmation email for further information on any potential prep expected of you. Tickets are available to Standard and Term 2&3 members only, the latter available here for £3.
RPGs are as follows:
- The Phantom of Pandemonia
- Flavour text: The small town of Pandemonia is nothing remarkable. Situated between the rivalling nations of Zeraia and Yankia, Pandemonia stands out due to how uneventful it is. That is, until a mysterious string of assaults, murders and worst of all: cattle theft occurred, with the prime suspect being the long dead Alexi Williams. The only ones who could solve this issue is our heroes, stopping in this quaint village in midst of a pilgrimage. Will our intrepid heroes prevail, or would they succumb to the Phantom of Pandemonia? Brought from the same world as the Dreaded of the Duchy

2. THE BOOMERANG GAMBIT
AN IRON FIST GRIPS THE GALAXY It has been two decades since the GOD-EMPEROR abolished the Galactic Federation and put in place an unquestionable IMPERIAL RULE. In the WANING HOURS of the ANTI-IMPERIAL RESISTANCE you are sent BACK IN TIME to PREVENT the Federation's decline. YOU have been chosen due to your unparalleled familiarity with the events surrounding the God-Emperor's RISE TO POWER. YOU are the only ones capable of ending this nightmare before it begins, because YOU were the ones that LET IT HAPPEN the first time around. Hi! If you're a fan of a more fast-paced narrative ttrpg experience, or want to dip your toes into Pseudo-GMing and worldbuilding, this is the game for you. You will each create and play a CHARACTER- a member of the group of player characters, and an ANSATZ, a place or community central to the story of another player's CHARACTER. While play is happening within the ANSATZ you control, you will effectively be Co-GM, while your CHARACTER will take a back seat. You will all get to establish the history and (space) geography of the setting via CHARACTER and ANSATZ creation at the beginning, so if you have worldbuilding ideas you'd like to see realised or an OC you cant put anywhere else, this is a good place.

4. Trouble in Deep Waters
Ajax, broad like a galley and arms of steel. Atalanta, swift as a hare and sharp-eyed as a hawk. Odysseus, of deep cunning like the owl. Heroes and legends dot our past like stars in the sky, and now it's time to hear the tales of your heroes. Welcome to Agon, a game about forging our own epic, of strife, drama, and conflict. You will be true heroes of epics, mortals whose names will echo in the hearts of storytellers for generations to come. If you love stories like the Argonauts, or the Odessey, this is an RPG about writing your own epic. Trials and tribulations await, which your heroes will face head on with skill, guile, and divine blessing. After days of sailing through deep, choking fog, the grey clouds around you begin to recede. Visions have plagued your sleep, of sunken crowns, closed oysters, shimmering with encrusted jewels, and soft cries of lament bubbling from the depths below. Ahead, a singular ship floats in the middle of a vast ocean, seemingly lost and adrift. The day is cloudless and perfect, a pastiche to the ideas of an ocean held by those who have never braved it. What tasks have the Gods in mind for you today?
