What to Expect

The full programme of one-shot games will be released around the 24th May, once all volunteer Game Masters are confirmed. You will be able to book specific games at that point, we will also be managing a standby list. However, you can already expect a wide mix of tabletop experiences across the weekend, including classics such as Dungeons & Dragons and Call of Cthulhu, alongside a range of indie RPGs and narrative-led games. Sessions will be designed with both newcomers and experienced players in mind, with options suitable for complete beginners as well as more seasoned tabletop gamers looking to try something new. We will also have an open play area, demo area and some local traders.
