One Shot Wonders
One Shot Wonders - Role Playing Games Group
Explore new worlds, amazing adventures and meet strange new friends and foes in our friendly monthly Role Playing Games group.
Each month we will run a short adventure, playing across a range of game systems in different styles and genres.
Whether you are a complete beginner or a seasoned campaigner, these sessions are designed to introduce you to new games in a friendly and relaxed environment. If you have a game you would like to run, let us know! You can find out more about the group on our slack channel #one-shot-wonders
Sessions will run every third Thursday of the month from 7pm and should last about 3 hours.
The next session will be on Thursday 19th October at the Hackspace:
Dungeon Crawl Classics: Bride of the Black Manse
Centuries past, Lady Ilse ascended to scion of house Liis by trading the archdevil Mammon what he wanted most; her immortal soul - and a diabolical betrothal. The triumph proved hollow, for every year on the eve of her fell covenant, she was beset by visions of Mammon and her foul promise. Seeking to save herself, she was buried alive, swaddled in the holy symbols of dozens of divergent faiths. This desperate ploy held Mammon at bay for centuries...but a devil can afford to wait a very long time.
After hundreds of years, the last of the holy wards has falled. The devil has come to collect his due. Tonight a storm crashed against the ancient manor house and forgotten spirits rise from the muck and mire. The fallen belfry tolls once more, announcing the hellish fete.
As the aventurers arrive to explore the Black Manse, Mammon calls for this winsome bride. He will leave with a soul at the end of the night. The only question is: Whose?
Please note: This game uses a real time clock and is designed to last exactly 4 hours. If possible, we will be aiming for a prompt 7pm start.
