Under Snowhill

System: 13th Age
GM: Newt

Snowhill Manor in the Shirewolds, the hillside home of Sir Albus the Collector, is under attack by an organised force of goblins. The Council of Summerset sends a group of adventurers who just happen to be nearby, on their way home to nearby Borton on the Water, to relieve their ally. The weather takes an unexpected turn for the worse, and the party take refugee in a roadside Tavern, where things take a devilish twist.

An adventure for 13th Age set in a Mythic version of the Cotswolds. High on action, fantasy, mystery and excitement. 13th Age is a straightforward narrative version of D&D written by two of the designers of D&D’s 3rd Edition (Jonathan Tweet) and 4th Edition (Rob Heisonloo). Characters will be 1st Level, and the adventure will be suitable for players who have not played 13th Age before.

The Grief of the Blood Countess

GM: Steven Blyth
Game: Mork Borg

You’re beginning to wonder if this was a good idea. A handsome payment to simply rob a funeral procession? What could be easier?

Until you discovered that your employer was Glax, the infamous blind traitor. And that the funeral procession was that of the sister of the blood countess, Anthelia, on its way back home across the bleak wastes of Kergus to the Glass City. All Glax wants is the sarcophagus. Just a dead body. Harmless. Isn’t it?

Mork Borg is a rules-light game of dark fantasy, set in a doomed world ruled by mad kings and tyrannical cultists.

On a Bank by Moonlight

System: The Fall of Delta Green (Gumshoe)
GM: Chris Hart
It might be the Summer of Love, but Delta Green agents must face unimaginable horror…
Agents are sent upstate New York to a small town of Milltown where two members of the same hippie commune have died on one night, one shot in self-defence by the police, the other in a car accident. Recovered from the scene was an idol similar to those found on previous Delta Green missions. How did they come to die? What were they doing with the idol? Does it have anything to do with the commune?
Come and join the stakeout.
Based on the 2018 Quickstart by Gareth Ryder-Hanrahan
Please note this game is a morning game (10.00 – 13.00)

Blood on Brown Corduroy

System: Liminal 
GM: Roderick Hamilton

It’s 1974. Bagpuss is on the telly, John Pertwee’s still The Doctor, and the Three Day Week has just kicked in – but you’ve got your own problems. You’re someone who has been touched by the strange in some way, drawn onto the precipice of the Hidden World, and thought your future was out there in the wider world – but the funeral of an important figure from your childhood has drawn you back to South Manchester and reunited you with your old schoolmates. Something seems off about it all though – Maybe the Hidden World was here, back home, all along? It’s up to you and your chums to find out. And you’ve got to do it all while wearing a shirt with massive lapels.

Blood on Brown Corduroy is a mystery scenario using the acclaimed Liminal game system. It will be run over Roll20, with Discord as preferred voice/video communication channel (although the latter is up for negotiation). Some action and light horror expected, no Player V Player or adult content.

The Birds

System: Tales from the Loop
GM: Guy Milner

You are kids, ages between 10 and 15. It is sometime in the 1980s. You live in the Mälaren Islands, a suburb on the coast not far from Stockholm, Sweden. Nothing ever happens here. Work hard at school, and you might get a job at the Facility for Research in High Energy Physics (“The Loop”) and have a comfortable life doing what your parents do. Except for that one day, in the long, hot summer of 1984, you hear the pigeons near the kiosk talk.

We’ll be using Roll20 and Google Meet with video.
