RPG session Thursday 30th

Image courtesy of the wonders of Google Image Search...
On Thursday 30th, I'll be running the first session of an RPG campaign set on the floating islands of the world of Harran. We'll generate characters and take them out on a short, learner adventure. In the coming weeks, we'll get stuck into some more extensive adventures linked into a campaign.
We'll be using OverSoul Games' easily learned and extremely flexible DiceChucker V.3 rule set, and a setting I've developed. Character generation is quite simple, but really needs to be done in the presence of the DM (the guy who runs the game, ie: me.), so come up with an idea for your character based on the setting background, and think about what motivates him or her.
I don't plan to run the RPG session every week - there are other exciting things to play, and I need some time between to plan and plot new adventures. We'll see how we go about developing a schedual.

Are you a bad enough dude to rescue Petunia?

Are you looking for an awesome game you can play even when the power's off? Are you after something social, which doesn't just involve having insults shouted at you by 14 year olds in other countries over a head set? Were you disappointed when Halo 4 ended with a quick time event instead of an epic battle? Are you a bad enough dude to rescue Petunia?

If you answered yes to any of the above questions, then you should certainly come to Gippsland Gamers' final summer holiday program event of the year - The Roleplaying Taster Session.
Role Playing games use dice, rules and imagination to take you to far away lands, battle strange monsters, and do literally anything you can think of (or at least, attempt to do anything you can think of...) Join together with a group of other gamers, each taking on the role of a powerful warrior, wily thief, crafty wizard, pious priest of blood-thirsty barbarian. Work as a team to overcome fearsome foes, terrible traps and cunning challenges, and at the end of the day, be rewarded with fabulous riches and new abilities (er... your character gets these - you don't actually earn any money. Sorry.)

Take up arms and take on the challenge. Prove yourself to be a bad enough dude to rescue Petunia.
Only at Gippsland Gamers.

Thursday 23rd January, 1pm-3pm.
Bookings essential via Coal Creek Historic Village. Ph. 5655 1811 or email.

No meeting Thursday 16th either...

Coal Creek is closing early today due to the heat. As a result, I'm cancelling this evening's session.
We'll be back in two weeks once school's gone back, the heat's under control, and Cancon is over.

Moving from the Mechanics' Institute

The Anne Frank exhibition has ended, so the gallery space at Coal Creek is free once more. We'll be holding our evening sessions in there, every thursday starting on the 9th. Not only is there air-con, there's also CARPET! And an interactive whiteboard! And you can wander out the door, wander over to the fridge, and buy liquid refreshment!
If the venue got any more awesome, we'd have to put the price up.
