Question 1

The games

Accepted Answer

We play a wide variety of roleplaying games (RPGs) from different genres and themes. Most of our RPGs run in "blocks" of 4 or 8 weeks and are planned in advance. We sometimes have one-off sessions that just last the one night. If you've got a game that you're interesting in running please contact us (via the "Contact" page) and we'll be happy to chat about it.

We also have a wide range of board games. We have people happy to teach, so it's fine if you're new to the gaming hobby. Our board games aren't usually planned, so are always available for newcomers to jump right into.

Question 2

Finding a table

Accepted Answer

Check our Meetup page before you come. We list the games currently running there, and you can "RSPV" to secure a spot at a specific table/game (subject to availability).

Question 3

When should I arrive?

Accepted Answer

Doors open around 7:15 and games start around 7:30. If it's your first time, aim to arrive a few minutes early so we can do an introduction to the venue, our set up and welcome you to the group.

Question 4

Do I need to bring anything?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. While some members bring their own dice, rulebooks or games, we have plenty to share. You're welcome to bring snacks (sharing is optional). There are hot drink making facilities but you'll need to bring your own tea, coffee, etc.

Question 5

How much does it cost?

Accepted Answer

It costs £5.00 a week, which covers room rent and other expenses. We accept card and contactless payments.

Question 6

Is there an age limit?

Accepted Answer

Occasionally some of the games we played can include adult themes, because of this we have a minimum age limit of 16 years old.

Question 7

Do you use any safety tools?

Accepted Answer

We have two mandatory safety tools.

We have an Open Door policy. An Open Door means anyone can leave any game (even the venue), at any time, for any reason. It means there'll be no social pressure to stay in a game they don’t want to stay in, even if that means the game won’t run. Because the game is never more important than personal well-being. The person doesn't have to give a reason, but  it'd be helpful if they told someone (eg the GM) if they'd be returning  to the game.

All our roleplaying games use the X-Card tool.(https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SB0jsx34bWHZWbnNIVVuMjhDkrdFGo1_hSC2BWPlI3A/edit) This allows anyone  in the game to edit out any content anyone is uncomfortable with as the  game is played.

We also include content warnings in the listings of any games where caution is advised. Additional safety tools may also be used by the game host, and indicated in advance, as appropriate.

Question 8

Is the venue suitable for people with disabilities?

Accepted Answer

The venue has wheelchair access and toilets. Two of the three rooms we use are on ground level. If you'd like more details please get in touch and we'll be happy to try and help with any specific questions or needs you may have.
