Event Attractions

Beginner DND 5E

A setup designed for people who have never played any role playing games, with no need to bring anything but the desire to join in. Fyastarter has taken many complete beginners through from zero knowledge to playing a game and each session assumes you know nothing at all except basic english. It's not about learning the book cover to cover (though you can do that as well if you want!) It's about having fun. Characters, dice and even oxygen are provided. As with so many other sessions, if you have played before you are still welcome, as long as you help Fyastarter focus on the beginners! Folks with learning difficulties and disabilities of many kinds supported, please reach out for details if concerned.

Marvel Crisis Protocol - Seperation Anxiety

Enter the Marvel Universe and command a small team of iconic superheroes or villains! From the X-Men, to the Avengers, to the Brotherhood of Mutants, each team brings its own attacks and superpowers to the table in fast paced skirmish game combat. Separation Anxiety is a four player scenario where teams are fighting to control the most symbiote canisters. However, many canisters have been damaged and their occupants are loose, searching for new hosts to bond with. Each symbiote brings with it powerful abilities to enhance its host but beware - they have no time for weakness and will abandon their hosts should they prove inadequate in combat! Teams will be provided, so there is no need to bring any miniatures or game materials.
