Operation: Jungle Drums at One Shot Saturday (Tabletop RPGs)

Operation: Jungle Drums
Terra Nova, a distant human colony left to fend for itself for centuries, fought off a brutal attempted reconquest by Earth. In the aftermath, the planet is in a cold war. Heavy Gear blends military sci-fi with intrigue between Terra Nova's Northern and Southern blocs. In "Operation: Jungle Drums" you'll strap into a 6-metre tall combat machine called a Gear, as part of an elite squad sent into the Southern jungles to scope out a group of bandits – and these are no ordinary outlaws.

Outskirt
In the fantasy world of Dragonbane, a terrible tragedy has befallen the lonely village of Outskirt! Young Henry Bobbins has been abducted by rogue bandits from the Iron Forest! All signs lead to the Oracle Cave, a place of ancient wisdom and magic, but no one has ever dared to enter the cave before. What ancient mystery lies inside, and can your team of village heroes rescue Young Bobbins before it's too late?

My Summer as a Teenage Magical Zookeeper
You are the teenage summer staff of Dizzy Meg’s Magical Animal Petting Zoo. A little place of just ten acres, the zoo is here to educate and inform its visitors about the wonders of magical animals. You’re here as cheap labour and for the work experience you keep getting told that sixteen to eighteen year olds should be getting. The zoo’s owner, Dizzy Meg, is off on their summer holiday and the sub-manager who’s meant to be in charge has left you with the keys and gone for the day with their mates to the beach.

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.
