Proposed Game: Original Adventures Reincarnated #5: Castle Amber

System D&D 5e Game Master Andrew Venue: Glanville Hall Wednesday night In 1981 a game called Castle Amber was released by TSR to be run with the Expert D&D set. In a nutshell the characters get stuck in a mysterious mansion and have to find their way out. Castle Amber has been updated to 5th edition and is described as the perfect old-school “funhouse dungeon”. However, I can assure you that Pat Sharp will not be making an appearance! Follow this link for further information about the game.

Proposed Game: Two Wrongs

System Era: Hitman Game Master Mark C Venue: Glanville Hall Wednesday night In this game, you are a hitman, an assassin who eliminates targets for anyone paying the right amount. Whether your skill is stealth, approaching your enemies unseen, firing a bullet from a neighbouring rooftop, hacking automated defences or demolishing a building to eliminate everyone inside, you are always in demand. You might be new to being an assassin, or you might be a grizzled veteran about ready for retirement. None of this matters to the Assassins’ Guild; only that you can complete the job and your team are assigned. With the protection of the Guild, you need not fear retribution once you escape the scene of the crime – the scrubbers have your back. Every trace of you, every piece of camera footage, everyone who will testify that you were there will vanish without a trace. As a result, joining the Assassin’s Guild was never a hard decision for you, even with the possible downsides.....

Proposed Game: Shadow plane

System D&D 5e Game Master Richard Venue: Glanville Hall Wednesday night With the disappearance of the archangel Avacyn from the shadow plane, humanity becomes the universal prey when the light fades and the moon rises. Gavony is where humanity remains safest and strongest, but it also has more dead buried here than anywhere else and so is plagued by undead and geists. In Stensia, where the sun never seems to break through the oddly coloured clouds, the vampire bloodlines rule and keep their "cattle" safe from any Werewolves or others that might endanger their food. Kessig contains vast forests and is home to Werewolves. Nephalia is a coastal province and home to a number of small-to-medium port towns. It is populated mainly by humans, gesits and vampires, all of whom seek business, secrets or solitude. Avacyns wards have slowly been fading since her disappearance and once again humanity is left unprotected and is at the mercy of those that wish to hunt them. The balance ...

The adventurers will go on a search for redemption as they descend into Avernus, the first layer of the Nine Hells, which is ruled by the Archdevil Zariel. Players will also have the option of wading into the Blood War. The group returned to the Elven Song tavern, only to learn that Raya had been found dead. A letter was left for you, suggesting that the Vanthampur family was behind the issues in Baldur’s Gate and working with Thavius Kreeg, who seems to hold the information about the disappearance of Elturel, or even be responsibl...

Empowered The team has just returned from the Cretaceous Period, our "Heros" find that the city has been taken over by Master Mind, the prisoners all released and the Police in the prison. So what next for our intrepid heros, how will they restore order to Ibadan, only time will tell...         What next? We are looking for more players as there will potentially be a third game being run as well. Depending on number of players we can be split over two games running the same time.
