More details below:

Baron Munchausen (Friday 8:00 p.m. - Midnight)

You take the place of a Great British Aristocrat, with many a tall tale to tell. Naturally you cannot necessarily remember all the tales you've told, so one of your peers will give you a little prompting. After your tale, you request a tale from another chap, and so the hours are wiled away.  Baron Munchausen is a party game, and we'll be using a system of drop-in-drop-out whenever you want with no pressure to tell a story. So if you want to meet and get to know people then this'll be there. If you are waiting for something else to start, drop in and share a story with us. If you're unsure about this roleplaying malarky, then this can let you dip your toes in the water. This will be being run by Luke and Toph, so just ask after one of us at social if you want to learn more.

Introduction to Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 Edition (Saturday, Midday)

Dungeons and Dragons is probably the most famous tabletop RPG, and a good introduction to 'dice and minis' RPGs in general.  You'll play a group of adventurers, dispatched to discover the fate of a towns missing ships.  No experience necessary, so if you want to find out what tabletop gaming is like, look for me (Thomas) at Social or Convention.


If you have any questions, or if you are running an event and want a room booked, or it publishing in this email, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
