Gallivant is a single day TTRPG fundraiser event for Disability Mutual Aid Cymru.

On April 18th from 11-7 you can join one of our talented GMs on an oneshot adventure @Arthole in Canton.

We'd prefer if you'd buy an advance ticket, but there may be seats available if you show up in the morning. We are starting with selling 3 D&D Adventures, but we will be adding more according to demand.

GMs will lead you on a oneshot adventure through systems old and new, with pre-written characters available for each story. You don’t need anything to play at any of our tables - just bring yourself! You are welcome to bring dice, pencils and paper too if you wish, but equipment will be provided. We recommend that people bring a packed lunch, but there are also several cafes and supermarkets in the area.

---Q&A---

What are the CWs, can they be changed?

Please bear in mind any content warning or setting descriptions provided for each game. We have tried to be as clear as possible to the content in the adventures. Though every game takes place in the realm of fiction, we understand some themes or events in our games will be upsetting or might feel in some way close to real-life. We will have consent forms in place on the day to make sure you have a clear line of communication with your GMs about your limits and triggers, called The Lines and Veils process. There may be some tags that can be described in less detail or slightly altered. Please contact us if you would like more specific information on a particular tag.

11-7 sounds like a long day! Won’t that be tiring?

The timings were chosen to give you the most optimum oneshot experience, with two breaks to give your brain a rest, to drink and eat, and multiplie shorter breaks for your comfort. Your tables GM will work with the players to create the most comfortable experience possible for the unique needs of your table. Don't be afraid to go at your own pace. Your game will finish some time from 6-7.

We've run this once before, and we got positive responses about the pace of play.

When should I arrive?

Please arrive promptly from 11-11.20. We won’t turn you away if you are late, but we can’t promise the game will wait for you if you are very late.

Can we book as a group?

Of course! Please be careful to book the exact amount of tickets you need in one go, if you can, to make sure you and your friends get to play on the same table if that’s what you’d like to do.

Can I bring food into the venue, and eat during play?

Yes, you can! We only ask that you be respectful to the venue and the GM and try to be as clean and tidy as possible.

What are levels? I'm a beginner, will I struggle?

In D&D, levels describe the level of supernatural ability the players have, and the power of the monsters is adjusted accordingly. It goes from 1-20, and there is a slight increase in complexity to characters as you accrue more levels, but overall the game stays the same. Level 1-6 remain fairly beginner friendly. No matter what level you play at, or DMs are expecting inexperienced people at the table and will help you make the most of your character. TTRPGs are not competitive games, they are collaborative!

---Accessibility Info---

Venue is totally step free, with a small incline at the entrance. We have two ungendered toilets, with one of them being wheelchair friendly. We're located on a main bus route with regular public transport stopping within a 1 minute walk of the venue. Trains are 10 minutes away by foot.

*NEW* Love Enough

5 seats available

GM: Ray

Level 5, D&D 5e (2024)

Prewritten characters available, or bring 2014/2024 compliant characters.

Content: Mystery, heroic combat, political intrigue.

The party, on the track of a notorious fugitive, runs aground in the wrong town and the wrong adventure. A giant, that tormented this sleepy seaside mining town for years, was supposedly killed by a single young halfling woman. Now, rumour has it he has returned to Boscawen to kill again. The township has appealed to Agnes to deal with the giant for a second time, but she refuses, and is now missing - amid her election campaign for district councillor.

Inspired by Cornish myth, this story is about romanticising the past, and building better things for the future.

CW: Mentions of death and murder, classism, brief mentions of unwanted attention, environmental mismanagement.

*NEW* Of Relics and Revenants

5 seats available

GM: Millie

Free League's Vaesen, Fae Horror Roleplaying

Prewritten characters will be provided, with plenty of choice and ability to change.

This Gothic story is one of a murder, a fairy, and a village haunted by a past injustice. Our investigators receive a invitation to the funeral and will reading of an Oxford academic, William Newbury, in his home village of Aldsham. However, upon arrival it seems that foul play was involved in Newbury’s death. Seemingly unconnected, a spirit haunts the village and the nearby Abbey of St. Arilda’s, and villagers disappear from their homes one night each mid-winter. Investigation uncovers secrets a decade old and secrets new, the resolution of which may lay a desolate soul to rest and save a village.

Vaesen is a supernatural investigation roleplaying game set in a world very similar to our own - except, for the fact that fairies, werewolves, trolls and any creature you can imagine are real. They hide themselves from ordinary society, effecting the world in subtle ways. You play Thursday's Children, humans blessed with the ability to see these creatures. Many Thursday's Children see it as their duty to protect the world from Vaesen - and Vaesen from the world, lest the hidden magic be exploited for terrible ends. These threats cannot be fought with strength of arms alone - you must use your cunning and your heart.

CW: death/dying, depictions of corpses, blood, violence, mild body horror, reference to suicide, missing people (including children), hypnosis.
