Badge Quest at One-Shot Saturday (tabletop RPGs)

Table 1: Badge Quest
Welcome to the Brave Blossoms, a group of young girls in a Girl-Scouts-adjacent organization. After a long year of learning practical skills and partaking in active citizenship, cookie selling season is finally upon us! Along with your troop, you’ll earn badges, peddle your signature Blossom Biscuits, and investigate the strange goings-on of your small town. Be careful though– who knows what dangerous enemies are lurking among the townsfolk?

Table 2: That Is My Master's Sword and You Will Return It
Your master's sword has been taken. It will not be an easy quest to get it back, as it seems it was your master's great rival from the Monochrome Dimension who stole it. A Hong Kong action movie game using Feng Shui 2.

Table 3: Hideo's World
Genius inventor Hideo Kieslowski has been trapped in his own virtual slickworld for more than a decade and now his once-glorious abandoned dreamland is crumbling. Can you rescue Hideo before his permasleep becomes permadeath?

Table 4: Hostile Work Environment
Your organisation has been bought out by a giant conglomerate. Thanks to new legislation, their executives can now hunt you for sport on company property. Get out before you're killed, or attempt your own hostile takeover.

WHAT IS ONE-SHOT SATURDAY?

It's a weekly meet-up in Sheung Wan/Central, focusing on indie games and single-session games (one-shots). 而家所有游戏係英文嘅但如果你要嚟玩中文游戏，我哋會無任歡迎。只要湊啱玩家就行！

You can drop in and play at any One-Shot Saturday – you do not need to have played in a previous session or commit to playing again. Whether you've played an RPG before or not, you're welcome to join us.

Please arrive on time as once the games begin it becomes difficult to properly introduce latecomers.

Join the conversation, make plans, suggest games to play, etc. —

WHAT IS A TABLETOP RPG?

It's a game in which you never know where the next stop will be, because it’s all down to the decisions you and your fellow players make. Usually one person is the Game Master (or "GM"). Everyone else will be players, taking the role of the characters in the game. The players get to say what their characters say, think, and do. The GM describes everything else in the world.

Then... we play to find out what happens. The game is a conversation: I say something, then you reply, maybe someone else chimes in. We talk about what's happening to the characters we imagine and the world around them. We also talk about the rules, which help us decide what happens next if the next step is in doubt. The rules differ from game to game: some use dice to shape the story, others use cards or something else. It's always a conversation, though.
