Teaser:NEWSPAPER HEADLINE

"The Millennium Dome was raided earlier today by an intrepid armed gang, who used a JCB to break in and steal the De Beers diamonds worth an estimated 220 million pounds. They escaped by speedboat up the Thames."

"If you have any information as to their whereabouts call Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111."


The governor Mr Jackson told you to come to meet him early at the lock up, because you're the only one he trusts, but when you got there he was brown bread. Who killed him, who will take over the gang, and most importantly where's the bloody loot?

From the same stable as Farewell Father Ted this short and potentially rather silly game gives you the chance to release your inner East London Gangster.

Game Duration 1 and 1/2 hours, a must for people wishing to try this hobby.

This game requires 6 Males and 3 Female players.

Murder at the Greydog Inn
GM:Graham Robinson
No. of Players :16
Requirements:None
Teaser:The Greydog Inn is heaving. Couples flirt, warriors boast, merchants
barter, Lunars and Orlanthi glower at each other over their mead.
Just another typical night. But death walks the darkness, and foul
murder is uncovered. The clan honour has been tarnished, and the
guilty must be found before the killer strikes again...

players. Written by Graham Robinson, based on characters and setting
from "Tales of the Reaching Moon #18".

SURVIVORS OF THE NARONIC
GM:Tony Mitton
No. of Players :24
Requirements:None
Teaser:February 11, 1893. In the freezing waters of the mid-Atlantic, the survivors of the SS Naronic await their fate. Despite its being less than a year old, their vessel has sunk in mysterious circumstances. The occupants of its lifeboats have little chance of lasting the night.

The survivors will be rescued, but by a craft thought destroyed and a Captain believed dead. The legend who claims to be 'no man' has saved them for now, but has set course for an erupting volcano.

Sped beneath the seas in a marvel of modern engineering, the SS Naronic's passengers and crew will find themselves in an extraordinary adventure that takes them to an outpost of a vanished civilisation...and perhaps beyond.

Survivors of the Naronic is a rip-roaring game of Victorian adventure
and intrigue set in a universe slightly more interesting than our own.
The game is inspired by the works of Jules Verne, Maurice Leblanc and
others.

In our more mundane world, the Naronic was carrying a crew of cattlemen. In this reality, however, its passengers are European luminaries: Scientists, Celebrities, Scoundrels and Heroes. All have their secret goals and agendas. There will be Bartitsu.

The game last 3 Hours approximately.
