The Tavern - A panel on drinking & gaming 🍺 (Featuring our upcoming game Brewmaster)
Ah, the tavern! The quintessential space for tall tales, spending some hard-won GP, and the starting point of many an adventure. But focus your attention away from the raucous customers for a moment, and to the bottles and barrels sat neatly behind the owner of the inn. There you’ll find the subject of this panel: the role and presentation of beer, wine, and spirits in gaming.
Date:
Saturday 23rd October 7pm BST

Sci-Fi RPG Settings & Environments Panel 🔫
When we think of an RPG we often think of a fantasy setting with dragons, elves, magic swords and trolls. However there is a huge amount of titles that opt to be set not in fantasy but in sci-fi settings; with technology, dystopias, space, spaces that feel contemporary, inhospitable planets or a setting that re recognise some and yet other aspects of fantastical. This panel explores the attraction of the sci-fi (or non-fantasy) setting for RPGs and how it approaches world-building.

Narrative in Wargaming Panel 💣
Wargaming is arguably the precursor to RPGs, via games like Chainmail, yet while RPGs and Wargames do largely differ, there are areas that share concepts; one key one is narrative. Just as in an RPG the players create the story, so in a Wargame there is a story about why the belligerents are fighting. We’re also seeing more and more wargames leaning into the idea of why more story in a wargame is a good idea! This panel will roll 6d6 to discuss!

Sunday 24th October 9pm BST

The Myths of King Arthur Roundtable 🏹
Swirling up from the mists of time are the enduring stories of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table. In many ways these stories of adventure epitomize many key elements of RPGs; a band of heroes, questing, the search for glory, advancement and magical artifacts plus the mix of a spiritual and physical conflict. In this session we explore all this and more!
