25th September 2019Our second session had good attendance with 9 returning players and 5 new gamers joining, which let the session start with 4 active tables. In fact it was so active that we rearranged the RPG table so they could better interact, while the board gamers explained rules for new players and in one case rolled lots of dice. The RPG table was where John led a lively Cthulhu Dark one-shot session, with 4 adventurers going on a journey through time in the village of Dunwich and resulting in some of the crew descending into insanity.
-
First Session - Architecture Great and Small
11th September 2019It was the first session of the St. Ives Tabletop gaming club on the of 11th September and we weren’t sure what to expect.
