Four amateur writers and professional university students gather cautiously in whatever room is available so that they might tell tales of woe, legend and general silliness.
Graduation looms, but through the magic of TTRPG systems (how original), we have countless stories to unleash from their parchment prisons. It's how they did it in the old days my pilgrims, but with a lot more dice and mathematics.
Our first campaign: "Tales of Tanamai" stars Billy Nicholls as Gwerxos, Kit Oliver as Possibly Mortimer, Elias Weaver as Mabel Mortimer and Ted Collins as the Storyteller.
Sibly undergoes spectral introspection, Gwerxos hunts for his pale reflection, and Mabel handles a past affliction.
Featuring Kit Oliver as Possibly Mortimer, Elias Weaver as Mabel Mortimer, Billy Nicholls as Gwerxos and Ted Collins as Journeyman Lam.
