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.
