A group of travellers are making their way across the Pennines from Lancashire into the County of York when ill weather forces them to stay the night in a coaching inn. Thus, these poor unfortunates begin a nightmare descent into violence, madness and horror. | A group of travellers are making their way across the Pennines from Lancashire into the County of York when ill weather forces them to stay the night in a coaching inn.

As you can see, I'm running it twice, so if there are clashes with another game hopefully I can accommodate you. If you have a preference as to which session you wish to play in, if you could let me know? Thanks! | As you can see, I'm running it twice, so if there are clashes with another game hopefully I can accommodate you.

[http://www.greatorkgods.co.uk Great Ork Gods] is a riotous game of savage and chaotic Orks and the gods that hate them. Character creation takes less than ten minutes (if that!) and the rules are real simple so we should be able to crack straight on to the pillaging and burning! There might even be a sneak preview of the long-rumoured finished version. | [http://www.greatorkgods.co.uk Great Ork Gods] is a riotous game of savage and chaotic Orks and the gods that hate them.

A game of dark violence in a nightmarish urban city known as Mort. A place that for 900 years has been building higher and higher and pushing the older parts of the city into decay and down under ground. From the gleaming skyscrapers of Mort Central, through the high class residences of Uptown, down through the uniformly grey and depressive surburbia. Then beyond the Wall lies the segregated world of Downtown. Where all of society's dregs eek out an meagre existance of desperation, trying to survive long enough to get home to watch TV - the only thing they live for. Yet all around them lies a world of horror, darkness, madness, chaos, crime and extreme violence (brought to you live and direct, 24/7 on SLA Industries 1001 TV channels). | A game of dark violence in a nightmarish urban city known as Mort.

Warning: this game has been played before, at TimCon 1, at Easter last year. If you played this scenario back then, you might not want to do so again. I might not let you, anyway. I will probably run the same scenario a week later, at ConSternation, and, if I'm not tired of it by then, at KaasCon as well. | Warning: this game has been played before, at TimCon 1, at Easter last year.

A somewhat gritty/realistic frontier sci-fi RPG set on a waterworld colonised by humans. The rules are very user friendly. This is a tentative offer to run a BP game in Slot 3 (tentative because I've never played Blue Planet let alone run it). | A somewhat gritty/realistic frontier sci-fi RPG set on a waterworld colonised by humans.
