The City of Secrets
System: Urban Jungle
GM: Roderick Easton
Description: The early 20th century of the United States was rife with fantastic change: from the rise of industry giants, to the great experiment of Prohibition, to the tragedy of the Great Depression, onto the dawn of the Atomic Age. The sky was tamed, the world was mapped, and the possibilities of science seemed limitless, all blue skies and buttered toast… … for some folks, anyway. URBAN JUNGLE makes you a player in an anthropomorphic world of pulp-adventure, hard-boiled crime, and film noir. You’ll tangle with hardened gangsters, with jaded debutantes, with world-weary war veterans, and with all kinds of shady characters. In San Ramon, everyone has a secret, but some of them are about to get unearthed ‘cos somebody has just murdered the senior Fed in the city and what are you going to do about that?

Each session, a new job is assigned and the details are sorted out between us all. It is the distant future and FTL travel has allowed people to settle among the stars. With space travel, comes new fauna and humanoid species. Its an age of discovery, and colonisation, a space western. It will be a comedic game with roleplay integrated.

Bronzed Beginnings (continued)
System: FATE
GM: Logan Anderson
Description: A continuing game from last semester, available spaces could change depending on how many players return. This is a campaign about the settlement of Guardia, where the PCs are the founding council guiding the development of a cultural melting pot in a fantasy world where elves, dwarves, plant people, orcs, and all sorts can live together. The campaign thus far has focused on the building up of the settlement from nothing to a thriving town, but this semester it should build to a confrontation with the fiercely xenophobic elves to the north. The rough tech level is bronze age, with some select technologies sneaking through (Mainly gunpowder) As winter fast approaches, can Guardia survive and become a lasting civilisation?

Tales From The City Watch
System: DnD 5e
GM: Alex “Grim” Lutman
Description: Once again, the city of Stalhex is facing a problem – a problem that threatens the mighty capital, and all the people in it. And once more, the Stalhex City Watch begrudgingly find themselves as the only line of defence between their city and total oblivion – a threat from beyond the veil of life and death itself. A comical fusion between High Fantasy Adventure and 70s Cop Show, ‘Tales from the City Watch’ puts you in the shoes of the long-suffering Stalhex City Watch as they try to save the Stalhex citizens from themselves . Will you use your people skills to charm information out of key witnesses, investigate the scene of the crime and detect as you’ve never detected before, or will you use your capacity for a firmly placed whack in the chops to keep your squadmates from trouble? Fight for Truth, Justice, and 15 gold pieces per week!
Spaces: 5 (or 6 as absolute maximum)
Age Rating: 15
Content Advisories: Murder, Violence, Suspense, Foul Language, Paperwork, a lot of references to cop shows from the 70s, and (depending on player actions) possible themes of corruption. All subject to discussion before the game begins.
The Estate
System: Mausritter (Into the Odd)
GM: Jamie Wheeler
Description: Huge and ancient, a mountain of stone. It stood even when the most wizened of mouse elders were young. The estate dominates the landscape for miles around. Nestled under the floorboards, the mouse settlement of Brickport is beset by trouble on every side. Can you help save the settlement before it’s too late, or will it be swallowed by the chaos that surrounds it? Mausritter is neo-old school game of delving into strange and bizarre environments, only this time you are a very very small adventurer. The Estate is a collection of 11 one shot adventures in locations surrounding your settlement. You’ll be able to choose which ones you want to pursue.
