Monthly RPG day!!

Welcome to our monthly RPG day! whether you've never tried it before or just want to play your favourite TTRPG systems / D&D, our carefully curated oneshot event should have what you're looking for :)). Take a look through the campaigns our wonderful wonderful GMs have to offer and get a ticket, and we'll see you on Bloomsbury Campus on Sunday 11th!

BELOW ARE THE AVAILABLE CAMPAIGNS

1. Disaster at the Derby

As a diplomatic stunt and an effort to boost tourism, the Eternal Grasslands have announced a one-of-a-kind race, where contestants of all kinds would race across the continent, from the Grasslands(think Mongolia) to the border of the Elven Kingdoms(think the UK). The prize for victory? A life-changing amount of gold, and an excuse to travel the realm with minimal cost.

Unfortunately, before the race could even begin, disaster struck. A sandstorm of unusual duration and intensity has emerged, meaning that the race is unable to begin.

You, along with your fellow contestants, have formed an uneasy alliance to investigate the issue, and hopefully bring a resolution to the disaster.

As the looming shadow of disaster stands before the horizon, how would our heroes fare…

 2. Long Live the King

In the prosperous capital, the king holds a grand week-long celebration in honour of a new treaty. Which can usher in an era of peace, bringing together the surrounding orc tribes, the dwarven clans and the elves of the forest.

However, many are out for the king's head and his own personal guards have been slowly disappearing one-by-one along with many important figures in the royal court. While many mercenaries have been hired to fill the gap in the king's guard they have also seemed to be removed.

Our heroes have been hired to stand in as guards protecting the king during the last and greatest day of the celebration and it is in the best interest of all attending that nothing goes wrong. Or is it?

3.The Cosmic Cosmetics of Kosmix Beauty

Kosmix Beauty is not just a make up brand. It’s not a pyramid scheme. And It’s definitely *not* a cult. It’s a lifestyle.

In this Call of Cthulhu one shot, you are tasked with investigating the mysterious ongoings of a new multi-level marketing “lifestyle company” and finding proof of any foul play. This game will take place in a modern day setting, and will involve investigation, horror elements, social roleplay, as well as some combat.

This system is also decently "number-crunchy" but I can guide the players and simplify the process.

System: Call of Cthulhu

4.The Last True Forest

The Otravne Stromy Forest has long been known to the villages that lie on its edge as a place of cursed and unholy happenings. Those who venture into its depths often go mad, if they are ever found again at all.

Your character may not want anything to do with these forsaken woods, but one way or another, the woods want something to do with you.

In this campaign you will find you and some other unfortunate souls who have found themselves stuck with you will journey through the increasingly mind-bending and surreal woods meeting other travelers and the ‘inhabitants’ of the woods, some will be friendly, some will be less so, and perhaps even discover the source of the strange magic that plagues these lands.

If you like campaigns which tend to veer to the more silly side, like DMs that let you get away with some very strange shenanigans or just REALLY like getting lost in the woods, this is the campaign for you.
