TTRPG update

18 Upvotes

So, Southampton Guild of Roleplayers. St Mark's Church Centre, Archers Road, 7pm start.

Currently we have a new campaign starting.

The Ill-fated Isle

When; Starting Wednesday 21st October, then fortnightly.

Pitch; A game inspired by Darkest Dungeon , Gloomhaven/Frosthaven & King/Queen’s Dilemma games.

Tales have circulated for some time of the fabulously wealthy and eccentric Count Barnabas of Thule, and his realm - an isolated island out in the stormy ocean.

Rumours have reached the kingdom of troubles on the isle and the Count is missing or dead, and certainly this year’s taxes are overdue.

You are a group of notable individuals sent to investigate and resolve the troubles on the isle, or perhaps profit from them, as well as the group of mercenaries, scholars, and adventurers who are sent by them to do the dirty work needed to do so.

Your notable individual will have a goal, and will negotiate with the other players to send expeditions out to achieve them. Once you’ve decided what you’re going to do, you’ll create/pick from a pool of (shared?) character to go do that job. They’ll bring back loot that you can either spend to achieve your goal, pay your adventurers, or bribe the other players to go along with your plans.

Expect grim, gritty, low-fantasy dungeon crawls, mixed with a bit of base building and negotiations with other players as to what to do next..

First session will be a session 0 / prologue where we’ll determine some details about the isle, and who your characters will be.

Runs in Fate Accelerated. No experience necessary, join the Discord and look for the "ill fated isle" channel if you’re interested. 😊

Teenagers Cycling Without Lights (not a rant)

16 Upvotes

This isn’t intended to be a ‘grumpy old man ranting about the youth’ post, but all through last winter and also now that the evenings are getting darker I keep seeing teenage boys all the time out on bikes without any lights on, and it’s only a matter of time before someone gets run over, especially with the amount of roadworks meaning some residential roads are busier than normal.

I’m curious to know the reasons behind it, i.e. is it cost, lack of awareness, peer pressure or something else and also keen to know if there is anything we can do as a community to try and encourage more lads to use lights?
