SUMMARY:RPG: Heart: The City Beneath - Drowned
DESCRIPTION:System: Heart: The City Beneath by Rowan\, Rook & Decard \nUnder the chaotic city of Spire lies a roiling\, unreal mass of fantasy and flesh known as the Heart\, a city beneath the city. \nHeart: The City Beneath is a roleplaying game about delving into a nightmare undercity that will give you everything you’ve ever dreamed of – or kill you in the process. It is a dungeon-crawling\, story-forward tabletop RPG from the designers of Spire that focuses on what characters have to lose in pursuit of their dreams in the chaotic darkness beneath the world. \nI will be running the Drowned quickstart scenario: \nYou are a group of troubled delvers-for-hire\, tasked with protecting the doomed settlement of Divesse from an encroaching terror that has been drowning other havens\, the safe yet fragile spaces in the ever-shifting Heart. Fight to protect your wards\, pursue your twisted callings and delve deeper into the place where all dreams shall be made flesh. \nCharacter sheets\, dice\, pencils etc. will be provided – but should you want to use your own\, this system uses D4s\, D6s\, D8s\, D10s and D12s. I would recommend bringing at least four D10s and one of each of the others. \nWarning: We will be using safety tools throughout\, but this is very much a body-horror heavy setting. \n  \n[4 spaces available] \nAdults only

SUMMARY:Sign
DESCRIPTION:A live-action game based on the true story of Nicaraguan Sign Language\, when deaf children in a country with no official sign language spontaneously created their own. \nPlayers embody students on their first day of school. Along the way\, they’ll make friends\, learn about themselves and build their own language together piece by piece. \nPlayers will select from pre-made characters. Gameplay is split between ‘classes’ and ‘recess’ with each session lasting around 10-15 minutes and will feature both the structured creation of a basic sign language and freeform interactions with other characters using that language. The game explores themes around what it means to communicate and to be understood. No RPG experience required. The game is very rules light. Total play time is around 2 hours. \nContent warnings and player safety:\nThe game doesn’t feature any mature or triggering themes. We will use an X card and safety techniques so that if anything does come up during the game that players aren’t comfortable with we can remove it. \nPlease note that the majority of the game is played in total silence. If spending ~1.5 hours in silence doesn’t sound fun or interesting this may not be the game for you! \nThe game makes use of physical contact as a means of communication (e.g. characters tapping each other to get one another’s attention\, or otherwise communicating using physical touch). If any players would be more comfortable not using any physical contact that is totally fine and we will discuss preferences before playing. \nThe game involves players drawing on their hands in pen. Washable ink pens will be provided. \nThis game is for players 18+ only \n[5 spaces available] \n

SUMMARY:Alice is Missing
DESCRIPTION:A silent role-playing game about the disappearance of Alice Briarwood\, a high school junior in the small town of Silent Falls. Players will take on the roles of Alice’s friends and attempt to solve the mystery of her disappearance. \nThe game is played live and without verbal communication. Players inhabit their character for the entirety of the 90-minute play session\, and instead of speaking\, send text messages back and forth to the other characters in a group chat\, as well as individually\, as though they aren’t in the same place together. \nThe main narrative of the game is played in silence while a soundtrack plays in the background. This is a heavily thematic and emotive roleplaying experience. The game is light on rules and focuses on storytelling\, character relationships and worldbuilding. No specific RPG experience is required but players will need to be willing to get fully involved in roleplaying and storytelling (roleplaying is all done in the first person and the story is created and told by the players not by the GM) \nContent and player safety:\nThis game inherently deals with a missing teenage girl in a small town\, and all of the topics that can arise when that happens. Because of this\, themes like tense family dynamics\, grief\, death\, violence\, jealousy\, and helplessness can and often do come up during the game. \nThe game is intended to be an intensely immersive experience but players should not be made to feel uncomfortable by anything that comes up. \nWe will be using safety tools including an X card and lines & veils\, so that players can remove any content or themes they are not comfortable with\, both before and during the game. \nThe game is played using a WhatsApp groupchat. Players will need an internet connected (and charged!) smartphone with WhatsApp installed. It will not be possible to play without this. \nThe main narrative of the game is played with a 90 minute timer\, total play time including setup\, character creation and debrief is expected to be around 2.5-3 hours. \nThis game is for players 18+ only. \n[4 spaces available]

SUMMARY:Midsummer Masquerade
DESCRIPTION:This a roleplaying game intended to run over a single evening\, focused on atmosphere\, discovery\, and character interaction. It will be rules light\, using the Fate RPG system\, and open to all levels of experience! Aiming for a tone of mildly spooky fairytale and eery whimsy. Likely to have little to no combat. \nIt is Midsummer’s Eve\, the night when the fairy prince known as the Earl of the Farthest Home puts on a ball for select attendees. His chosen location is the old coaching inn\, the Queen in the Ivy\, beneath the eaves of an ancient\, drowsy wood. The inn is sheltered in the grounds of the ruined Honeysuckle Priory\, home to the fabled Font of Fancies. At Midsummer’s Eve\, the Earl offers those guests who impress him most to drink from the fountain and receive a single wish come true. You have received an invitation for reasons unknown\, written in moonsilver and sealed in hoarfrost. For reasons of your own\, you have chosen to attend the Earl’s party for a chance of a wish come true. Of course\, there are more invitees than wishes granted. Attendees must go masked and under pseudonyms\, and one must never reveal one’s true wish to another. The ball’s fame attracts attendants from far and wide\, and not all intend to play fair. Besides the Earl\, other powers walk the crooked hallways\, hidden behind mask and costume\, and intent on games of their own… But you needn’t worry about any of that. For now take a cup of Fra Holdstadt’s best in the low-beamed taproom\, listen to the melancholic mandolin of Jonquil the Fair and admire the famed carvings of green kings in the great fireplace. Listen to the summer rain fall against the mullioned windows and pay no heed to the scent of dead roses\, wafting from beneath the ancient floorboards… \n[5 available spaces] Adults only. Dark fairytale themes – no explicit sex or violence but some horror and lore-heavy. Estimated 4-5h long. This game will continue after sunset so bring lanterns if you have them! \n
