'The branches of the Astral Corridor weave through time and space, echoing fractured realities once thought forgotten. The archivists of the Black Archives work tirelessly to catalogue these tales, reaching into the furthest depths of the corridor to glimpse what can never be.’
Black Archives is a TTRPG story spotlight event, as our house GMs weave tales from across the multiverse. These original stories are self-contained and setting-agnostic, intended for both experienced and newer players. We'll be featuring a variety of indie TTRPG systems alongside our regular D&D5E offerings!
Each session will feature it's own unique system and requirements, so be sure to read the full event description before ordering.
Tonight, the tales you can expect to uncover are:
THE NECROPOLIS (HOUSE GM:
SEAN)
SYSTEM: Call of Cthulhu
7E
THE STORY: Roaring
Twenties cosmic horror.
The year is 1924 and you're part of an archaeological dig in the Valley of Kings, Egypt. We start with the investigators sealed inside the entrance to a mysterious tomb. Can you find a way to escape and avoid death at the hands of a crazed and horrific abomination!
PRE-GENS PROVIDED?: Pre-gens will be provided at the beginning of play.
CONTENT WARNINGS: extreme claustrophobia, burial, dismemberment, graves, undead
BANSHEE'S REQUEST (HOUSE GM:
RUBY)
SYSTEM: Scum & Villainy
(Powered by Forged in the Dark)
THE STORY: Scum & Villainy is about a spaceship crew
trying to keep flying and make ends meet while under the
iron-fisted rule of the Galactic Hegemony. There are heists,
chases, escapes, unwise deals, blaster fights, and high adventure
among the stars. A game session revolves around the crew attempting
to complete a job, cutting right into the action to avoid tedious
planning and using flashback mechanics to set up overcoming
obstacles.
The Nightspeakers, a reclusive group of
masked mystics, has had one of their masks end up in the grips of
Draxler's Raiders. Agreeing to pay the ransom to retrieve it, both
parties plan to meet up on the urbanised planet of Nightfall for
the exchange. Pirate Queen Banshee is hiring a crew to use this
rare opportunity to steal the Nightspeaker mask, and is paying well
for it to be done quietly.
Will you be able to intercept the exchange and steal the mask? We
play to find out…
PRE-GENS PROVIDED?: Yes, but bring lots of D6 dice
CONTENT WARNINGS: None, expect your typically PG-15 violence in TTRPG combat.
All
players who attend our events must read and agree to
our Code of Conduct. By
playing at the Arcanist's Tavern you agree to abide by the terms of
