Behold Games is passionate about nurturing the role-playing community, and we're excited to announce that some of our community members have taken the initiative to host open-table RPG sessions. These sessions are open to anyone who wishes to join them, simply reserve a spot by buying a ticket which covers the room hire for the community GM's use.

Each week is a different RPG system, and beginners are absolutely welcome, however our sessions are all age 18+. All sessions start at 6:30PM and wrap up by 10:30PM.

Upcoming Sessions:

Thu 26 Feb. HELLWHALERS

Captain: Rachel (she/him)
Players: 3-5
Age: 18+

Come all ye sinners... ⚓ Collect lore, gamble with souls, fish hellish creatures from the depths, and fight a demon whale.  HELLWHALERS is an original TTRPG of both nautical and Christian-religious horror. Play as damned whalers, sailing hell's oceans to hunt a monstrous leviathan whale in a bid for redemption of your immortal souls.

Whalers will earn souls through roleplay, challenges, and gambling, eventually collecting enough to pulse the Hellwhale's disembodied heart, a blackened, grisly organ kept locked away by the captain. To pulse the heart is to summon the monster you seek: the dreaded Hellwhale. Slaying this titan of Hell's waters is said to earn you a place back in God's graces.

Wed 4 Mar. Hell or High Water (Blue Planet Recontact)

Moderator: Josh (He/Him)
Players: 3-5
Age: 18+

Poseidon (AKA Blue Planet) is many things to many people.
A limitless, watery paradise.
A new chance to escape the blight-afflicted Earth.
A new hope for humans, cetaceans and uplifts to build a better world..
A new frontier to settle and exploit for money.

The UN GEO (Global Ecology Organisation) outpost in the Erasmus Archipelago has gone quiet ahead of an approaching super-hurricane. Your team has been dispatched from the nearest base, ahead of the hurricane and asked to investigate why the outpost has gone dark. What mysteries await in the depths of Posideon's seas?

Thu 12 Mar. Bottled Seas (Flail)

GM: Sophie (she/her)
Players: 3-5
Age: 18+

The Bottled Sea is an alternative dimension where ships and sailors from across history are sucked inadvertently into, through strange wormholes and foul circumstance. Locked in a timeless state, the Sea is a flooded realm of buoyant wastes, coral-reefs of multiversal debris, floating wrecks, and makeshift technology. You and your seafaring crew have been traversing this never-ending ocean with no hope in sight...until now.

This is an exploratory hex-crawl using the Flail system. Think Mausritter meets Dungeon Crawl Classics. Get dropped into a world of low hit points, bad odds, moody miracles, twitchy spells, doomed equipment and chaotic brawls that keep escalating for no good reason. Unless you do have a reason? Do you have a reason? By nightfall, the floating taverns will run on lore, laughter and ale to decide on whether you were brilliant or just sailing in the wrong direction convincingly.

Wed 18 Mar. Bon Voyage… Forever (Brindlewood Bay)

GM: Blair (he/him)
Players: 3-4
Age: 18+

The elderly women of the Murder Mavens Mystery Book Club have taken their social club to the seas on the Ocean Empress. However, their idyllic holiday of reading mysteries in the sun and discussing them at the free buffet is interrupted by MURDER.

Play members of the local Murder Mavens Mystery Book Club, who help the authorities solve murder cases. The game is rules-light and easy to play no matter your experience with tabletop roleplaying games, with each mystery not having a predetermined solution set by the GM but instead the players collaboratively discuss connecting the clues to theorise a unique solution.conspiracy in order to save their community. The game is low-prep and easy to play no matter your experience with tabletop roleplaying games.

Thu 26 Mar. Party Below the Sea (Mothership)

Captain: Florence (she/her)
Players: 3-6
Age: 15+

Join the party below the sea in the city of new New York! It’s New York: under the sea! Everything’s going great except for the odd bit of chaos, but that should be alright, just enjoy the party!

Using the mothership system, can you survive new years in New York under the sea?

What you need to know:

• The person running or facilitating the game each week will explain the rules on the night, no need for preparation. Complexity will vary, but the vibe will always be casual and supportive. There won't be any pressure to "get the rules right".
• They'll provide characters to choose from where appropriate.
• Players should bring pen and paper and a set of polyhedral dice (we also sell dice in the store!).
• They will try to capture the "vibe" of each game in the descriptions. Players are encouraged to match that energy.
• Different games use different dice. They'll make sure to provide what is needed, but everyone is welcome to bring their own standard set if they want to.
• The room will be open from 6pm and the introduction/game will start at 6:30.
• All games are 18+
• The Community RPG Club only takes on GMs who have participated in RPGs run by the group already - if you're interested in running a game please start by attending some and getting to know the group first.
