DOOM: The Board Game - Back to Hell
For the three weeks of the short block, pit yourself against the demons of hell - be warned, this game setting is pretty brutal if you don't switch on and use tactics!
It's you versus the hellish hordes of hell, demons are spewing forth from the hell portal on Mars base, and it is up to you to seal it and send them packing. Along the way you will meet up with old friends, including the Plasma Rifle, Soulcube and the obligatory Bio-Force Gun.
Of course... not every problem can be solved with a gun. Can it?
- Proposed by Anthony Edmonds
- Duration: 3 weeks
- Players (3-4)
Universalis
Probably the prototypical structured freeform game, inspiration for huge chunks of the indie/Forgite/hippy gaming culture. You start by deciding what sort of story you want to play. During the game, one person narrates events happening in a story, paying coins as they go. Other people pay coins to take over narration. Characters, places, and the like are created with coins, and go into a central pool; you pay coins to control them for a scene. (You spend coins like water.) You get coins back by initiating conflicts with other players.
And I don't expect Scott to read the rulebook.
- Proposed by Neil Smith
- Duration: 1-2 weeks
- Three-five players (GMless):
Mouse Guard
The harvest in Shaleburrow has failed, and the city will starve unless more supplies come from Ivydale. None has been sent, and no word has come from the previous Patrol sent to Ivydale to persuade the citizens to do their duty.
Your job is to get the supplies sent to Shaleburrow and discover what happened to the previous Patrol.
- Proposed yb: Neil Smith

Across the Wine Dark Sea
I will be concluding, and potentially expanding upon my Ancient Greek Pathfinder game from the second week of last short block.
The elvish city states have been at war for the last decade. now struck down by fate and the wrath of the gods the once powerful city of Iocalos has fallen and King Memnos, your lord, is slain. An armada of ships led by Araclese, the son of the king, have set out into the unexplored islands of the Sea of Myria, in search of a new home.
This is Homeric Fantasy, a game of adventure in an age inspired by Greek mythology (see http://outerreaches.wikispaces.com/Homeric+Fantasy ).
- Proposed by: Alex Barrett
- System: a slightly modified version of the Pathfinder Role-playing game http://www.d20pfsrd.com
- Duration: 2-3 weeks.
- Players: up to eight. Returning players will have priority.
Dogs in the Vineyard
- You stand between God's law and the best intentions of the weak.
- You stand between God's people and their own demons.
- Sometimes it's better for one to die than for many to suffer. Sometimes, Dog, sometimes you have to cut off the arm to save the life.
- Does the sinner deserve mercy?
- Do the wicked deserve judgement?
- They're in your hands.
Widely regarded as one of the finest role-playing games written, Dogs in the Vineyard is a game about almost-Mormons riding out to protect the Faithful.
This is a try-before-you-buy session for the long block. Preference will be given to people who haven't played this, or similar, games before.
