Go to the Meetup’s page on Warhorn and sign up now.
Go Play Manchester August Meetup on Warhorn, is now live for player registration.
Game sign up will open on Sunday 7th August, with priority going to those people who have pre-registered.
Currently we have four games of 13th Age, Dead of Night, Dungeon Crawl Classics and Only War. Full details on the Meetup’s schedule.
After a long hiatus, Go Play Manchester is returning to Fan Boy 3 on the following Sundays 1-5pm.
Also, I’m provisionally looking at doing Winter Con again, our full dayer in early Jan 2023.
More details to follow.
After a long slumber, Go Play Manchester is coming back, with plans to bring it back on a monthly or bimonthly basis.
Emails are being sent, discussions are being had…dates will be forthcoming 
(soonish)
After a long break, we are back at Fanboy 3 in Manchester City Centre on Sunday 14th November, in the afternoon 1 to 5 pm.
This is our traditional post-Grogmeet meetup. This is a public event. If you are a GPM regular, a Grogmeet attendee who wants one more game before going home, or someone who has never come to one of our event’s before, simply register for the event when we open registration in about a week or two. Join our email newsletter to be alerted when this happens.
Join the Go Play Manchester email newsletter to be notified when registration opens.
We need GMs to run games. At the time of writing, we have three games signed up, which you can view on Warhorn, but we love to have more 🙂
Read our GM’s information and fill out the game form if you would like to GM.
Player registration and games sign up will be via Warhorn, an online game sign up system. Registration will open up in one to two weeks, once we have more GMs. Sign up to our email newsletter to be told when. Games sign up will open be two weeks before the event, on Sunday, October 31st at 8 pm. Again we will notify registrants via email beforehand.
Bookmark/view the meetup’s Warhorn page.
Please note, Fanboy 3 do have Covid 19 prevention measures in places, such as space between tables and a maximum of four players per game, which we will be following. This is a cautious return, and the meetup will be smaller and less busy than it was previously.
Also if the situation changes, such as cases rising and new measures being brought into place, we will communicate this to attendees in a timely manner.
Look forward to seeing you

System: Aftermath (FGU)
GM: Chris Hart
Sheffield, 1984, nuclear fall-out from a ground-burst at Crewe is falling on the city. The emergency operations team are coordinating the relief efforts from the basement of the town hall. Energy supplies are low, the battery cells on their short-wave radios have nearly run out, what options remain?

This is one of the games for Grim Con 2020 – registration open now.
Here we are the game allocation for this month’s Go Play Manchester:
Under Snowhill (13th Age)
The Grief of the Blood Countess (Mork Bork)
Over the years I’ve seen the term “Fine Local Gaming Store” (or FLGs) thrown around to describe many a games store, but Manchester’s Fan Boy 3 with its perfect storm of gaming space and well-stocked selection of games truly deserves the title. And they have been our generous hosts over the last year and a bit, before lockdown.
I’m happy to say back in July they opened the shop. I made a visit recently with Henry, my 10-year-old son. It was quieter than usual, but then again it was during Wednesday afternoon. Henry and I were able to look around the shop, which is all set up with the required safety standards. The two-metre distancing squares and the one-way system makes the shop floor look like a game board. There is handwash and a perspex screen by the till. It’s all very unobtrusive, and my greatest fear that the familiar fun place, I go to grab my gaming supplies would be significantly dulled by anti-Convid 19 measures were utterly unfounded.
Talking of gaming supplies me, and Henry filled my man-bag with stuff; A Pokemon box set for Henry, a beautiful gleaming copy of Theros the new D&D book, and the Cyberpunk Red Jumpstart Kit (the starter set for the full game which comes out soonish).
I even had a natter with Phil, who was on duty that day in the shop, which was good. Cut short by our H pulling on my sleeve keen to join the rest of the family at the Manchester Cat Cafe (which I wholeheartedly recommend if you like fluffy cats). I left not sure when I’ll be back again since I’m pretty much housebound here in Oldham since I work from home, but more than glad I had visited.
Another thing Fanboy 3 have done during lockdown is update their website, so it’s even more clear about what’s going on at the shop. Also if like me you can’t make it into the shop, there’s now a web store.
