Mess around Friday | Trying out new games together

About the adventure

So many systems, so little time! ~~~~Current game and details~~~~ SHADOW OF THE WEIRD WIZARD on FOUNDRY ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Shadow of the Weird Wizard is a fantasy roleplaying game in which you and your friends assume the roles of characters who explore the borderlands and make them safe for the refugees escaping the doom that has befallen the old country. Unsafe are these lands: the Weird Wizard released monsters to roam the countryside, cruel faeries haunt the shadows, undead drag themselves free from their tombs, and ancient evils stir once more. If the displaced people would rebuild their lives, they need heroes to protect them. A brand new game built using the system powering Shadow of the Demon Lord, this game gives you everything you need for you and your friends to champion the innocent, to brave grave dangers, and right terrible wrongs, all while exploring the wild frontier of the borderlands! Some saw him as a mad sorcerer who commanded eldritch powers of staggering might. As proof, one only has to look at all the abominations he set loose in the lands—the hybrid beasts, the multilegged hulking collectors, floating eyes that hang in the air trailing their nerve endings. And then, far, far beyond the edges of the new lands rose the walls of the Forbidden City and the clockwork peoples who dwelled there in seeming servitude to the dread mage who ruled over all he surveyed. But the Weird Wizard is gone. His shadow remains, but the figure casting it disappeared and none, not even his closest servants, know where he went. It might be coincidence that his absence preceded the bloody civil war that tore the Great Kingdom apart and that precipitated the violent struggle between the other nations in the west, or the Weird Wizard might have had some stabilizing influence that enabled civilization to flourish once more following a far older, nastier decline. Too, he could have been the source of the conflict and abandoned the world to its fate. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The mess around format: A relaxed taste of the many different systems available. A chance to make a character, learn the basics, have a fight or two and see what each game has to offer. We may also be trying out a new VTT, depending on where the game feels best suited to play. Only games will be selected that will have no additional purchases required for the player. The game charge goes towards supporting any VTT and modules etc I need to purchase to run the game for everyone. Together we have tried out Shadow of the Demon Lord, Avatar Legends, Blade Runner, Mothership, Dragonbane, Alien RPG, Discworld: Adventures in Ankh-Morpork, Shadowdark and Forbidden Lands so far. Come join us in checking out the vast range of the hobby, find your new favourite game!
