Hi all,
Here is just a bit of the Circle Battle Group club goings-on. Assorted Noble Romans and peasantry Celts (myself included) have been appearing in our role-playing of Roman Chuthulu, where we carelessly let an "Old One" get loose (some of us paid the ultimate price) and in our latest adventure, we are now in19th /15th-century Chuthulu on our table for the last few weeks.
In case you are wondering, usually, a game will last six weeks, but this was extended for an extra two weeks. There are sneaky Dungeons and Dragons of some description on another table, Battle Mechs are in another section and a card game on the fourth. I quite fancy trying a ride on a Battle Mech, I must dig out my Demo rules.
Full marks to all of our GM's for coming up with all of the plots and nastiness our characters go through, plus all of the painting and prepping that involves.
There are signs of the Club Bar reopening in one of the other rooms and work seems to be going on in there, good, and other rumors of us being closed down by the council, very bad. The council has already sacked the Event Coordinator who got bookings for the other events room. This venue has quite a few clubs and societies that use it during the week, a bowling green and cricket pitch attached.
There are committee meetings going on, but the one hand does not seem to know what the other is doing. This club has had to move venues once before due to the council. We hope to know a bit more by next week. Currently, our spies are out looking for a new venue just in case.
Keep rolling them there dice.

This is for my war gaming and role-playing exploits, including SF worlds, fantasy and post-apocalyptic settings, with a dash of history. A mix of solo and group gameplay. Terrain making is also included, with reviews of figures, TV shows and films.

RPG_Chronicles Part 0
Hi all,
I have just provisionally joined a weekly Role Playing Game / Wargame club in my local area called The Circle Battle Group. Yo gang.
On my first week, on my table, they were running a Sword and Sorcery GURPS RPG in 15mm, other tables were doing war games.
Currently, we are using D20 Modern rules for our RPG. I went for a tech type, for a change. I will be doing write-ups of some of our adventures so you can join in the fun. Currently, I am doing the Department 7 Adventure first, getting it roughly typed up, taking it to the members about what I missed, then doing corrections and inserts, finally posting it on here. Since I am the new kid on the block, I'm not sure how regular the episodes will be though, probably three weeks to a month for each adventure. I will just go with the flow.
The only snag is that it actually takes longer to type up and expand the story than it did to actually play it in the first place, also I am an evening short each week to do stuff, so I will cherry-pick the stories that I put on here. There will be photos to go along with it, but don't expect very exotic scenery, more like just diagrams with figures. I am giving priority to my homegrown blog stuff, so once I have finished what I am doing, I will slot some of this in.
If you are in the Erdington / Stocklands Green area of Birmingham, the UK on a Wednesday evening come along and see us at the Highcroft Community Center.

There are food vendors in the area. We usually eat before a game.

Postscript: At one point, due to unforeseen circumstances, I thought I was going to have to postpone my joining the club for the present then attend in the future. Then that fell through and I managed to go for another week to finish off a game. It is now full steam ahead again.
