The big game is on tonight in Neuva Vegas. Everyone's watching it. Only down-on-their-luck scumdogs like you have their eyes fixed on the tickers inching across grimy screens above the bar.

HEIRONYMOUS
You are all brothers and sisters in the Order at High Cliff Monastery; repenting from a past life that you are running away from. They say the Monastery holds the secret to true inner peace. But a great challenge awaits when your master Father Anthony has gone missing. Hieronymus is a hex crawl game where characters will explore the worldscapes painted by Heironymus Bosch.

Sentai and Sensibility
What would happen if Jane Austen wrote the Power Rangers? If a kaiju interrupted a party held in Bridgerton? Social combat and feral totems abound as members of the nobility compete for a chance at love and station. In this game, players represent courting members of Feral Clans who have civilised themselves over intrigue, betrayal, and high tea

Diamond City Stars and the Knight of Whispers
Spectral horrors are appearing and causing nightmares all over Diamond City. No one can sleep and it's making everyone a little crazy. Worse, there are now reports of the horrors being seen in the day! Help Alexa Persistentine seal off the Whisper Dimension.

WHAT IS ONE-SHOT SATURDAY?

It's a weekly meet-up in Sheung Wan/Central, focusing on indie games and single-session games (one-shots). 而家所有游戏係英文嘅但如果你要嚟玩中文游戏，我哋會無任歡迎。只要湊啱玩家就行！

You can drop in and play at any One-Shot Saturday – you do not need to have played in a previous session or commit to playing again. Whether you've played an RPG before or not, you're welcome to join us.

Please arrive on time as once the games begin it becomes difficult to properly introduce latecomers.

Join the conversation, make plans, suggest games to play, etc. —

WHAT IS A TABLETOP RPG?

It's a game in which you never know where the next stop will be, because it’s all down to the decisions you and your fellow players make. Usually one person is the Game Master (or "GM"). Everyone else will be players, taking the role of the characters in the game. The players get to say what their characters say, think, and do. The GM describes everything else in the world.

Then... we play to find out what happens. The game is a conversation: I say something, then you reply, maybe someone else chimes in. We talk about what's happening to the characters we imagine and the world around them. We also talk about the rules, which help us decide what happens next if the next step is in doubt. The rules differ from game to game: some use dice to shape the story, others use cards or something else. It's always a conversation, though.
