The Magistrate's Gambit @ One Shot Saturday (Tabletop RPGs)

The Magistrate's Gambit
The bell tower strikes eight. The party begins in one hour. The old magristrate will face the powerful archmage in their annual contest of a game of smickleboard. But this time, the magistrate has a secret weapon-- he's called upon an unlikely team of heroes. Can they work together to solve puzzles, escape monsters, and find all the valuable treasures to expose the cheating archmage in time? The Magistrate’s Gambit is a tournament adventure for the Dragonbane roleplaying game and offers exciting challenges for new and skilled adventurers alike.

Apotheosis Janitors
You are an acolyte. Your master has just become a deity. Once, they were only human. Destroy all evidence of that. Apotheosis Janitors is a game about a group of true believers who work together to get rid of everything that could reveal the truth: that the deity they all worship was once a mortal person who went through an apotheosis.

Spell The RPG
Even the best thieves have to retire someday. And with that day fast approaching, your crew has decided on one last target, the heist of a lifetime. It's not going to be easy. You'll have to sneak, stab, or spell your way into the vaults of Zykovix Manor, steal the Encyclopedia Vocabula, and vanish without a trace. A single typo could spell 'doom' for you, and it's going to take every word you know to pull this one off. But if you do? They're gonna have to put your damn names in the dictionary

Apocalypse World: Giant Ants
Did they come from space? Was it mad science or magic? Their origins are a mystery but their victory is almost total. Giant ants dominate the Earth, leaving humanity to the edges and cracks. What troubles this little holdfast? Are they united in survival or fighting over scraps? Let's play to find out.

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.
