Once again Games on Demand will be a thing.
Essentially a small team of highly trained experts, each with a certain set of skills will offer a veritable panoply of possibilities.
Games are not usually set in advance, instead we read the room and offer the games we feel like, or have been requested to run. They can run the gamut from intricate D&D style games through to silly parody TV show creation, exploration with cute animal characters or twisted horror.
There's always a fine selection with several different options available each round. Give it a whirl if you aren't sure what you will be in the mood for on the day or you are hoping to persuade one of our MC's to run that game you heard about but never quite got the chance to play in.
I'll try to update this list as I hear back from people and make up my own mind but at the moment offerings will include:
Judge Dredd (the 1984 Games Workshop version)
Monsterhearts
Rapscallion
Fight with Spirit
Jiangshi
Arkham Horror
The good King Duncan has died. He was well loved by the people, and we shall all mourn his passing. Nevertheless, the sun still rises, and we must go on.
His kingdom is left to you, his children, divided equally to rule as you please. He had hoped that you would rule with grace, civility, and honour. Whether this is true remains to be seen.
Your people look to you for guidance, as you grow to rule your corner of the Kingdom. They need leadership, and someone who can provide for them in times of need. They can be demanding at times, but I trust that you shall rise to the challenge and show the people that you are deserving of your inheritance.
Whether you can get along with your siblings is a different story.
The Vow is a Political, Competitive Role Playing Game, in which players role play as the leader of a people. This game is still in development and playtesting, but if you're interested in playing something a little different and a little experimental (and putting in your feedback to make it better) then this is the game for you!
May contain violence. Lines, Veils, and X Cards will be used.
Trick or Bleat
The annual Harvest Festival has begun in the cozy town of Brindlewood Bay! For our players, the sweet treats, booths, and games of the event will have to wait- this year's guest of honor, Dimples the Wonder Goat, has gone missing. Can our ladies of the Murder Mavens Book Club find him in time for the award ceremony at the end of the night? And what dark forces might be conspiring for one goat?
Brindlewood Bay
Brindlewood Bay is an emergent mystery TTRPG written by Jason Cordova. In it, you play as retired older women in the titular town of Brindlewood Bay, Massachusetts. You and your fellow Murder Mavens (named for your murder mystery loving book-club) periodically solve real murders and strange happenings in your sleepy bayside community. Behind the scenes, a vile conspiracy lies in wait which may swallow the whole town and more unless the Mavens stop it.
The Serpentine Fork
Is it really theft to take from thieves?
The British Museum holds in her exhibits and halls over 8 million artefacts plundered from around the world during the height of the British Empire. You and your crew are here to steal one back: the Serpentine Fork.
All According to Plan
Crime pays in this Carved from Brindlewood tabletop roleplaying game inspired by heist films like Ocean's 11. Assemble your crew of expert eccentrics, case the joint, and take what's yours.
Note: This is a fairly well-tested, but ultimately pre-release version of the game we're developing.
All According to Plan is a roleplaying game about camaraderie in larceny, about charming criminals stealing from targets as wealthy as they are morally bankrupt. The game is directly inspired by the Ocean's franchise, but it draws broadly from the wider body of heist cinema.
Emblematic of the film genre the game is based on, there is never a question of *if* the heist will succeed, but rather *how*- In what genius way will the crew overcome the towering odds stacked against them to pull out a last-minute success? AAtP is an emergent narrative game, which means each heist has no set approach or conclusion. You decide what details matter most, how the heist comes together, and how exactly your crew comes out on top in the end.
So, that leaves us with one question.
Are you in, or out?
Disney on Ice
"The Happiest Heist on Earth!"
Inside a secret Orlando facility hidden in Walt Disney World Resort, the disembodied head of Walter Elias Disney rests forever in cryogenic sleep. You and your criminal enterprise are going to steal it.

Wellington, September, 1974. All anyone can talk about is the arrest of Bill Sutch, former public servant, for passing information to a Soviet agent. And the chattering classes are starting to remember that some among their number, some who have also risen to similarly prominent positions, were out and proud Communists around the time Sutch was supposedly recruited.
But never mind that now; it's time for a cocktail party. To catch up with old comrades, the invitation says. An invitation from "your affectionate friend." For some, a way to reconnect with old flames. Others to demonstrate the upwards trajectory of their lives. And for some, a way to dig out secrets better left in the past.
Because radical politics were not the only thing you had in common. Twenty years ago to the day you of the cocktail party you participated in an unsanctioned experiment, run by the Abnormal Psychology and Religious Studies departments of Victoria University. It left you all changed, it left one of your number dead, and it left professor's career in tatters.
The past is never as far away as you want it to be.

A weekend long party featuring an opera never before performed in England, and you are invited. A fine way to start the social season, this event will no doubt be all they talk about in London.

Of course, there will be music; and dancing, and the latest fashions.

February of 1935 – It's the height of the Great Depression, and a group of hobos agree to transport a mysterious package from the US to Mexico, unaware that they're being hunted by a horde of preternatural wolves, a tenacious detective, a maniacal luchador, sinister fishmen, a fanatical carny, and a seductive snake woman cultist, each with their own deadly intentions.
As they traverse the unforgiving landscape of Baja California, nerves are tested, blood is spilled, and survival becomes the only law in this pulse-pounding scenario that dumps the characters into a meat grinder of horror, madness, and thrilling grindhouse action!
Described as a Coen Brothers movie, directed by Tarantino, with effects by Tom Savini, based on a story by Lovecraft.

In K.A.B.O.O.M, you play scholars, historians, and arcane scientists called to study these extraordinary events.

This roleplaying game is all about discovery. Each event is a puzzle, and every answer leads to more questions. Every new finding brings excitement and danger in a world where magic can rewrite reality overnight.
This is a playtest of a game in development
