44 at One Shot Saturday (Tabletop RPGs)

44: A Game of Automatic Fear
Someone you know was just replaced by a machine. No one else knows. You are next. A game of paranoid science fiction and suspense. The players portray people who know a robot conspiracy called Section 44 is replacing humanity. Can you survive or will you too be replaced?

File 681 Baralku Island: Survival and Destiny
A mysterious fog, an isolated island where only few have survived. What is that sound and why have you been abandoned here? Figure out what is happening, thrive and figure out the best plan of escape. However something or someone is fast approaching and why are they determined to keep you stuck here on BARALKU ISLAND.

Bump In the Dark: The Cost of Doing Business
When the murder of a young journalist rocks the sleepy town of Little Wilford, Somerset, the local police is quick to find a culprit and put the locals at ease. That still doesn’t quell rumours of a cover-up, or conspiracies, finger-pointing, and guilt-slinging spreading like wildfire that’s threatening to tear the community apart. But you know there's something else afoot: there's been urban legends for years about a vengeful hellbeast roaming the countryside, of plots by powerful conglomerates with eyes set on the land, and corruption that runs deep. Bump in the Dark is a monster-hunting mystery game based on serialised urban fantasy TV Shows of the ‘90s and ‘00s, like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, the X- Files, Supernatural, Torchwood, etc

SPIRE: Operation Sea Siren
The spire was once the drow capital. Now it festers under Ice Elf tyranny. Your little band of fools is one cell among many seeking revolution. The Ice Elf Floats_Like_Clouds is claiming to have a live mermaid in their possession and will be exhibiting her captive in 3 days time. If there's actually a mermaid to rescue, do so, but make sure Floats_Like_Clouds' humiliation permanently damages their reputation.

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.
