After some review and discussion, so that we can get more sessions in without ending too late, we’ve decided to shift RPG Day to be RPG Weekend. The sessions will run from 10 AM to 3 PM and 5 PM to 10PM, allowing time for some over run and a break between games. Planned sessions so far include

  • Mouse Guard (Thai)
  • World of Darkness (Thai)
  • DnD 4th Ed (Thai)
  • Pathfinder (Thai)
  • Promethean (Thai)
  • Shadowrun (English)
  • Star Wars (English)
  • Song of Ice and Fire (English)
  • Cthulhu  (English)

Book your place at the store now with Nat and Krit, or contact us if you’d like to run a session.

BFB RPG Day II

Author: Games Master
10 21st, 2009

The last RPG day we ran (in association  with World RPG day) was a huge success and really helped to kick start the RPG scene at the store…. and as it’s been nearly 6 months since the last one….it must be time for a new event.

The focus of the event is

  • Introduction of new RPG settings to experienced players
  • Introduction of RPGs  to new players
  • Short 4-5 hour games

Ideally Sessions will run from

  • 9AM to  2 PM
  • 3 PM to 8 PM
  • 9 PM to 2 AM

Three sessions running at one time, 2 at the store , one nearby. So before we get players in, I’d like to ask for Volunteers to GM in Thai and English and review the best date for the event. Ideally GMs will run mini sessions of Games that players have not played before, so a mix of things like

  • - Giest
  • - Hunter
  • - Changeling
  • - DnD 4e
  • - Star Wars
  • - Cthulu
  • - And others :-)

Drop us a mail or track me down at the store to volunteer to DM

New PFRPG Sessions

Author: Games Master
09 21st, 2009

We’ll be starting two new sessions of DnD , using the Pathfinder core rules. This campaign is aimed at people who are new to DnD and are interested in learning the system and experiencing a fantasy system.

There will be two seperate gaming groups

Group 1 : Will play on Sunday Afternoons from 1 PM to 5:30PM every Third Sunday
Group 2 : Will play on Either Thursday or Friday Evenings from 6:30 to 10:30 PM Every two weeks.

The first session will focus on character creation and some initial party introductions and encounters to get everyone ready to play

Then the next 4-5 sessions will run using the first stand alone Pathfinder RPG (PFRPG) module. This will give everyone a chance to learn the rules and their characters, as well as a chance to see how other characters work.

Once that module is finished we’ll allow everyone to make a new character or stick with their original character, and then we will start a fully fledged PFRGP Campaign Path. The Campaign paths are designed to take characters from Level 1 to level 20.

The game will be run in English, the gaming groups are expected to be mixed Expat and Thai.

Please ensure you register at the store to book a place and  make sure you say whether you want to play at the weekend (Sunday) or on a week day (Friday/Thursday)
