Games

Any tabletop roleplaying game. You want to play it, bring it along and run it. It doesn't matter whether it's a mainstream system like Dungeons & Dragons, an indie game such as Apocalypse World, or something entirely of your own design. We welcome published and unpublished one-shot scenarios, free-form role-playing, and everything in between.

Game Submission

Games can be submitted in advance via the submission form and will be added to this page. But you can just pitch up with a game on the day and offer it then too!

If you're offering a game, please note that you're still responsible for writing your own sign-up sheet; we don't create them for you. You can download a blank sign-up sheet or create your own custom sheet.

Player sign-up takes place on the day, before each game slot. You may want to learn more about our signup system.
