A Roleplaying Game is a tabletop game that gives players the opportunity to take on the roles of characters. They are available in a vast variety of possible genres, including Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Horror and Superhero genres, and the possibilities are endless. Roleplaying Games can be based on anything, from your favourite novels, computer games, films or period in history to games with an original story. Roleplaying Games are usually run with 1 Game Master and 2 to 6 Players, but it’s possible to have a game session with as few as 1 Game Master and 1 Player or to have more than 6 Players join the game. Getting started with Roleplaying Usually, before beginning play, each Player creates a character or picks a pre-generated character from several available options.

Then Tabletop (or is that Table Top) RPG enters from stage left, crying out ha har! You forgot me! then you have TTRPG, as why not elongate an acronym to make it longer. So with this mess kicking it all off, what other acronyms litter the game(s)? AC – Armor Class d% or d100 – A percentile die roll, either by rolling a round 100-sided die or two 10-sided dice.

The Clubs inaugural Annual General Meeting was announced via email to its members. 26th March starting 7pm on our discord channel. The first part will be voting on the Constitution (attached in the emails). The second part will be voting in your committee for the club. There are 5 roles Chair Secretary Treasurer Online Presence Officer Membership Officer We have had very limited responses for nominations (4 responses, 2 of which are none). Please look inside yourself and see if you would like to nominate yourself for a position on the committee. You can nominate yourself for one or more of the positions, as the way the voting will go we will be voting in each position individually.

 In the land of sundried tomatoes, lives an acorn who wishes to be a tree. The Acorn is happily growing from its branch, as its time will come, when it can be tree. As the months progress it swells and grows, it is ripe n ready for its time. Finally its time came, and it sprung free from its bond to the tree, free to grow further and independent of the tree, free to reach up to its potential. Hitting the ground it landed softly in a bed of leaves. My time is here, I must show them I can be tree. When suddenly a squirrel came along and stuffed the acorn into its gob and chowed down on it. For the Acorn was not to be a tree, the Acorn was to be squirrel shit.
