Alien: The Roleplaying Game - Evolved Edition collection is out of this world.

It has everything players need for running adventures in the Alien, from frontier colonisation to colonial Marine missions.

The miniatures are a new addition. They look amazing and include simplified skirmish rules.

In a weeks time I will be hosting a game of D&D at Elvaston Castle.

Midwinter holds the city of Derventio in an icy grip, but the dead are stirring; strange lights can be seen in the city’s necropolis and there are whispers that something is coming.

Coolest costume

Viking inspired modern-day viking.

In our vampire LARP As Night Falls: The Auction, we asked the players what do they believe vampires would like in the modern day.

Debrief and decompress the following day.

And that's a successful culmination of As Night Falls: The Auction - a #vampire #LARP in Elvaston Castle.

We have worked together for many months to make this happen (figuring out the dynasty goals took us ages).

A massive thank you to our amazing volunteers for giving up their weekend.
