This week in roleplay – week to 31/03/23

This is the second weekly update of the activity by adventuring parties travelling from our clubroom


Old School Essentials – Temple of Elemental Evil

Our latest tale of excitement and adventure has just begun, the retinue of “Sir” Angus Mornwood have been sent to collect information and deal with any issues relating to rumours of bandits and monster activity in the vicinity of Homelet, a wealthy and prosperous village that’s been through a lot in it’s time.

Having been directed to both the Moat house and the village of Nulb as areas to be wary of, our adventurers take a moment to wash the road dust from their faces, and gather rumours of the local environs and causing one case of mistaken identity. Hearing tales of ghosts, ghost demon bears, dragons and crop circles with glowing lights in the sky.


Dungeons & Dragons 5e – Gods and Men

Last night, after a 6 month hiatus, the ‘heroes’ from Of Gods and Men made their way into the Underdark. They bumped into a very jumpy wizard who had heard all about their daring exploits and, probably foolishly, decided to join them on their journey.

With a hired crew and a haphazard plan they have set off towards the city of Skullport in the hopes of finally rescuing Ubberick’s brother from slavery.

Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4e – Death on the Reik

The party had a dinner party with lady Margritte von Wittgenstein and Jean Rousseaux the village doctor, at the doctor’s house. After some chit chat dinner was served. Just after cheese and biscuits half the party fell to the sleeping poison put in their food, the rest surrendered to the guards and were put in the dungeons of Castle Wittgenstein. Breaking out they wandered the area looking for their gear. Finally ganging up to fight Slagdarg the ogre torturer, with improvised weapons and retrieving their equipment.

Pathfinder 2e – Strength of Thousands

Last night the new student attendants head into the tunnels under the Magaambya academy to confront Stone Ghost ,the antagonist of all the disruption to the academic year, and his gremlin and insect army. While investigating his cavern room he emerged from a wall and attacked with the help of two jinkins. They dispatched them fairly quickly and took the collected information back to their teachers to study.

Jinkins – a type of Gremlin

Carbon 2185 – EZ Houndz Detective Agency

The gang managed to get themselves patched up after the altercation in the hospital and left Jackie Chow under the knife for a synthetic heart transplant. After an evening of information gathering in the alleys of the red-light district and paranoia ensuring the entire surrounds of the office were assessed for threats.

Will Jackie Survive a synthetic heart transplant?

The next morning, they cracked on with their only case, after acquiring a new set of wheels they went to track down a missing girlfriend, who seemed to have vanished the Church of the Machine Bound God in District 2. With no further leads they questioned the Elder of the course and found Katie was being prepped to ascend from her flesh.


Pathfinder 2e – Middle of Newarre

The Rulebook doesn’t cover this

The Founders of Newarre after gathering all the supplies and loot they could from the goblin fort before hurrying back through the swamp hoping to catch the tail end of the goblin raid in their new home. Luckily with the extensive effort put into the training of the Militia and building up the defences allowed the village to see off the score of White Skull Goblins.

Mama Swampsinger

The Founders then turned their eyes on something fat more important than the village, the planning on the wedding of Papi Gre’orj and Mamma Swampsinger, the matriarch of the Swampsinger goblins to whom Newarre had bafflingly allied itself. In the confusing flurry of events the Founder’s acquired the Owlbear’s Head as their very own tavern, taking up prime real estate in the village.

This week in roleplay – week to 24/03/23

This is a new weekly website post were we summarise some of the activity by adventuring parties travelling from our clubroom.


Pathfinder 2e – Kingmaker

The Heroes of Last Night, THoLN for short received their charter to explore and extinguish banditry in the Greenbelt of the Stolen Lands, then set off for Oleg’s Trading Post. Not two days were they on the road before cutthroats attacked them.


Carbon 2185 – Tales of the Golden City

The Carbon Crew from Monday night, managed to prevent the death of their primary contact with the 16K Triad, but were left with questions about the 2 presumed Reapers (organ harvesters) who escaped.


Dungeons & Dragons 5e – Ghouls and Men

After surviving the Hag’s magical storm and minions’ raid the party realised an ambush would no longer be viable against her. The next day they sneaked up to the corrupted mill. Inside they found not only the hag, but also a critically wounded fae-born druid fused in the centre of four trees. A tense combat ensued; luck was on the side of the party as the hag succumbed to the magic and might of the party. Before the party could save the druid, the baron’s skeleton drawn carriage to pull up outside the mill, not ominous in the slightest.


Pathfinder 2 – Middle of Newarre

The Founders of Newarre unknowingly crashed a sacred ritual of power to the Lamashtu, the Mother of Monsters. In hopes of rescuing the matriarch of their allied goblin tribe. Several explosions later, the fort’s watch tower is toppled and the evil Barghest performing the ritual is slain. One more evil cleansed from the surrounding lands.

AGM & Committee 2023

On Saturday 18th March we had our Annual General Meeting for the period ended December 2022. As granted by the Emergency General meeting on the 8th October 2022 this AGM had been delayed till the club had been relocated to its new home. Although Percy St has not yet reached its final form, as of 12th February the club has been operating out of 31 Percy St.

Election Of New Committee

The AGM saw the end of service for the 2022 committee and the election of the 2023 Committee. This year saw Erica G step down from Treasurer and Sara B step down from the committee. We thank both for their hard work and ongoing assistance with running the club. The 2023 committee is as follows.

  • Chairperson: Paul S
  • Secretary: Richard S
  • Treasurer: David M
  • Committee members:
    • Erica G
    • Gillian M
    • Richard J
    • Tim H

2023 Committee Tasks

In addition to the election of the new committee, tasks were voted on for completion during the year the membership tasked the 2023 committee with completing tasks it considered important.

The first of these tasks related to the creation of a special GM Chair for the round roleplay table in the entrance area of the club. This chair would utilise parts of the current chair to make something in keeping with the style of the table. The joiner who created the round table has already agreed to submit designs for the committee to approve.

Due to safety issues we are not commisioning the iron throne.

The AGM has also tasked the committee to create a comprehensive inventory of stock held. This would assist the club in making decisions of what should be kept, what can be sold and what can be disposed of.

Additional matters were discussed regarding ways to keep heat from escaping, privacy during gaming and security of the club. These matters the chairperson confirmed would be discussed during the next committee meeting. Members are welcome to attend all committee meetings, the next is scheduled for 25th March starting at 3pm.

Membership fees

Please note that membership fees are now due. Becoming a member grants you a vote in all topics discussed during general meetings and you can be nominated for a position on the committee at the next AGM. (must have been a member for the 6 months prior to the AGM to be eligible).

Roleplay Opportunities coming in April

New Players Welcome

The adventurers have come a long way since the violent and desperate launch of their pirate career. Now, their ship’s hold full of loot and plunder, they make their triumphant return to Port Peril to present themselves to the Hurricane King to officially gain recognition as Free Captains of the Shackles. But with this recognition comes new opportunities, as other pirates take action to aid or hinder the heroes, during which hints of a hidden plot begin to surface


Arcana of the Ancients

Mondays weekly 6pm-9/10pm for 10 weeks approx
Starting 24th April

GM: David M
5 Player slots availible
New Players Welcome

The Caracara festival takes place in the crooked hills, an area long considered haunted by spirits that plague one’s dreams with strange nightmares. Despite this the festival has become popular of late due to the appearance of inexplicable arcane artefacts. While investigating the source of these artefacts the party finds itself with a quest to stop goblin raiders plaguing the festival. What secrets do the crooked hills hide?


Keep your eyes pealed for more games planned to start in the future.

A New Home

The society has now moved to it’s new premesis at 31 Percy St, Hull, HU2 8HL.

All games previously expected at the old venue on Savile Court will now take place at Percy st.

Please note that not everything has been moved yet and there is still a lot to be sorted. Please bare with us while we organise and sort both play areas and items from the move

In consideration of the ongoing organisation if you wish to play in the clubroom please contact us to confirm there is space available for you.

A new game for a new room

On the evening of the 11th February after a long day of moving some members took advantage of the new venue to start a new game of pathfinder.

Kon’s new Pathfinder 2 campaign, Kingmaker became the first game to be played in the new venue.

As a new game this also represented the first 5 characters to be created within Percy St. May their adventures be fun and TPK never grace their table.

New things this way come

Over the last few weeks the membership have been working hard to prepare a new home for the club. We are aiming to be open in our new home by the 28th February, if not earlier.

We thank all the hard work and donations made by members to get us so far, but aren’t quite there yet. If you are able to help please let us know.

See below a map showing where our new home is

Clash at Kingston 7: Under 3 weeks away!

With the speed 2022 is passing we are now just over a week away from the final submission deadline for CaK7 (02/04/2022) , one week before the event itself (09/04/2022). This means that Chris requires a copy of each player’s 1995pt army list. The preferred format for attendees’ list is pdf created by mantic’s easyarmy website ( https://mantic.easyarmy.com/ ). If you haven’t checked out the website before I reccomend checking it out. It really is the easiest way to make a list for any Mantic game.

As Chris is playing in the event he will be sharing his list publicly through social media this week. He has already shared his intention to play his goblin force similar to CaK6. Although he has been hard at work on new units since the last tournament and promises the force to be stronger than ever.

The full attendee list for CaK7 is as follows;

  • Steven Pearson
  • David McNally
  • Paul Stonell
  • Richard Tomlinson
  • Barry Joyner
  • Erica Gilmour
  • Jeff Horton
  • Ryan Callaghan
  • Lee Fellows
  • James Frank
  • Mitchell Makin
  • Paul Makin
  • Chris Christopherson

Even if you are not playing in the tournament feel free to pop along to the event for a chat and to see the battles in action. We look forward to seeing you all on the 9th April.
