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 4: 8 – 15 December 2026 (note it's only two weeks this block). Because many short-block games are organised ad hoc on the night, this is necessarily incomplete.
Week 1
(Including pitches for the next long block.)
The Glorious Dreams of Eight Cursed Swords
No spell cast, no rite performed but the gruesome occupation of the tool itself. Yet nothing can bathe in that much blood and remain will-less and inert. It awoke, not all at once, but inevitably. Once it did, it could no longer bear the din of its own silence.
Stories tell of great swords belonging to grand champions who right the world through justice borne on their fearsome might. I do not know about justice or the grandness of its champions, but this sword does not belong to any hand—least of all mine.
Let us tell tales of Seduction, of Tragedy and of Ancient Grudges.
Swords Without Master is a game of sword and sorcery. "Guided by the evershifting tones of your tale, your adventuresome rogues encounter the perilous, explore the bizarre, and carve their names into legend." It's very player-led, and emphasises tone and style over intricate worldbuilding or even coherence.
