October Rotation - Here is what's coming up

Step right this way that's it, a little closer.

Cool, so are you hero enough to dive into the world of running a game?

Brilliant, Let me know the synopsis or basic premise of the game and we can work to ensure you have a table of players.

For each Rotation we need people to Pitch their games they would like to run, also if you wish to run a game in a later rotation, the earlier I know the better.

As always on the look out for GMs that are willing to run again in either the next rotation or Januarys Rotation (always good to have the future schedule done)

Currently we have

The lost city of Raukirk

System: D&D 5e
Game Master George

Dragon of Icepire Peak

System: D&D 5e
Game Master Julia

Headstone Hill

System: Deadlands (Savage Worlds)
Game Master Jo F

Boardgames

System: Multiple
Game Master Jerrie

Still unsure, well here are some tips and stuff for new and old DMs or GMs

Not all RPG is D&D, you can run (and play) other systems

Running your combat in "Theatre of the Mind" a different Roleplaying experience

First off this is not just limited to Dungeons & Dragons, but can be applied to all systems. How To Run Narrative Combat For those used to running RPGs using a gridded battle map and miniatures, running narrative "theatre of the mind" combat can feel both terribly strange and strangely familiar. If we're used to running combat on a 5 foot per square grid, the switch to combat in the theatre of the mind can easily make us feel like something is missing. How can we really know what's going on in combat if we can't see it? The answer lies in the other two pillars of our game—exploration and interaction. We don't set up battle maps and lay out miniatures when our characters have a discussion with an NPC. We likely don't set up a big map and start counting off squares when the characters explore an ancient ruin (although we can!). We don't have visual queues when we're describing how a thief narrowly avoids a poisoned pin while attempting to disarm

Members Blogs

As well as this blog which is updates and info from the Hobbits Hole itself. There are a few blogs that our members have themselves: Girls in RPGs A blog by a girl! shock horror! yep and its quite a cool read (especially as I badgered her into starting one 😁) Gaming and Geekery This is a blog by Simon Hibbs about his gaming and geeky thoughts and musings. Knights and Castles This is a blog by Freddie about Knights and Castles, a collection of stories about famous German knights, castles and the legends, myths and sagas which surround them. Role Play Games: sessions from a Mad man This is my (Mark) personal RPG blog, atm the moment mainly for formulating the sessions I GM into an ongoing story, so things can be re-referenced (and or spikes my memory of bits I forgot to write about). Been pondering writing other bits about RPGs, but well we will see..

Online games

We currently also host Friday night online RPG sessions For Xmas and New Years eve they are moving to Thursdays (22nd and 30th) then back to the Fridays. At the moment there are two games running alternate weeks. Talisman Where you play both the pilot and the Mech it rides in. We are in Talisman and have just escaped the clutches of the K-Rex They are now with Rabbas and the resistance. What strengths will the team bring to this rag tag resistance...... 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.
