Proposed short-block games
This page is for games that are on offer for the next short block. The Proposed Long Block games are on a separate page. If ideas in here sound interesting to you, please contact the GM in question.
These are the proposed short block games for Block 5: 3 February – 17 February 2026. Because many short-block games are organised ad hoc on the night, this is necessarily incomplete.
Week 1

Welcome to Gotham
The city of Gotham is a place of contradictions. Towering skyscrapers loom over crumbling tenements, neon signs flicker against the endless night, and every alley whispers secrets best left unspoken. Heroes and villains alike have carved their names into its streets: Batman, the Joker, Catwoman, and countless others. Gotham is a city defined by masks, by the choices people make when the world demands more than they can give.
And now, it’s your turn.
You are sixteen years old, freshly transferred to Gotham Academy, a prestigious school nestled between the gothic spires of old Wayne architecture and the ever-present hum of danger. However, you’re not just ordinary students. You carry powers, secrets, and the weight of expectations. Some of you may dream of living up to Gotham’s greatest heroes. Others may feel the pull of its villains, tempted by promises of freedom, chaos, or control. But all of you are caught in the same web: teenagers trying to survive high school while deciding what kind of heroes—or threats—you’ll become.
Masks the game
Masks is a superhero roleplaying game about teen heroes discovering who they are. If you’ve played D&D, think of it as shifting the focus from dungeon crawling and combat tactics to identity, relationships, and emotional choices. Instead of leveling up by slaying monsters, you grow by figuring out what kind of hero you want to be. Players will interact with both established and new characters in the DC comics setting.
