Manilla Occult Nights at One-Shot Saturday (tabletop RPGs)

Manila Occult Nights
You are spirit detectives; navigating the typhoon battered city jungle of Manila. Your mission is to free an imprisoned diety from a corrupt contractor's compound- all this while the city is intermittently kept in the dark from rotating blackouts. And the flood water presents its own host of dangers that is hungry for blood.

Vaesen
Winter, 1865. The world is changing, but in the far north of Scandinavia, the Old Things still walk. Creatures from folklore, the Vaesen, still linger, unseen by most... but not by you. You are part of the Society, a secret order of those who can see the hidden. It’s your task to investigate strange events, confront supernatural threats, and navigate a world where myth and modernity are colliding. You have been invited to a secret gathering of like-minded people, at the manor of Count Constantine Constantinovich in Ingria, St. Petersburg. Will you find the answers you seek, or is there another stranger, darker purpose?

Discworld: Party Tricks
You are the concerned citizens of Ankh Morpork, annoyed and disrupted by a spate of unlicensed crimes happening across the city. A gang of adventurers have causing havoc, picking fights with wizards, stealing from goblins, looting the dead, and even tried to slay Lady Sybil’s dragons. The Watch have been run thin, the Thieves’ Guild is furious, and it’s about bloody time someone did something about all this.

CBR+PNK
You're a crew of chrome-plated mercs living on borrowed time in a mega-city. One final, desperate job - the stakes have never been higher. Betrayal is your currency, the corporations are closing in, and your own cyberware might be your undoing. Will you walk away rich or get enveloped by the neon shadows in this world of high-tech infiltration and low-life survival

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.
