Hi all,
Just to let you know that after the grand total of one person (Blythy) answering my call for GMs for our next online meetup, I’ve decided to put Go Play Manchester into hibernation for the foreseeable future. No reflection on anyone, it’s just the GMs are all busy with regular commitments.
I’m going to review the situation in early spring (March 1st) next year 2021, and hopefully, things will have significantly improved by then.
All the best
;O) Newt
Please note the previously advertised Go Play Manchester this coming Saturday 24th October is not going ahead.
The next date is Sunday 15th November – our post-Grogmeet meet-up.
If you would like to run a game at this meetup, please visit the GM’s Information page and submit a game using the form. I’m going to hold sign up for the games on Sunday 1st November – so please submit your game details by then.
And now a message of Welcome from our Chairnewt on this day of great games 🙂

As officers of The Peekers, the Great Lunden city watch, you’ve been charged with searching your ward in case “The Finger Eater” is hiding there. You’re hoping he isn’t – you’re fond of your fingers and would like to keep them! Surely he will have fled the city. But then nothing is quite as you would expect about him. Why, for example, wasn’t he executed like other murderers? And there are tales of him regularly receiving a strange masked visitor at the Gaol.

It will be great and nothing can go wrong…
