Scheduled Tabletop Games
GURPS Supers: The Agency
Well, recruit, you’ve found out about your powers... And you wanna do something “productive” with them... This ain’t no nursery, you need to look out for yourself...
GURPS Powers is a system where you can build your own superhero and customize your powers to your liking. Within 'The Agency', you are a rookie superhero who's just been recruited to use your powers as, essentially, a gun for hire.
Books Used:
- GURPS Basic Set: Characters
- GURPS Powers
Times: Every Other Thursday, 4 - 7 during Open Gaming
Other Games
- Munchkin...
- ...and its spinoffs: Star Munchkin, Munchkin Fu, Munchkin Impossible, Munchkin Cthulhu, Munchkin Booty, Super Munchkin, The Good, The Bad and the Munchkin and Munchkin Quest
- Kill the Monsters, Steal the Treasure, Stab your Buddy! Munchkin is a game frought with danger and treatury (not necessarily from the monsters), where everyone and thing is out to get you. Make temporary alliances, but only to further your own means to an end!
- We run demos of this game on a semi-regular basis, with interesting combinations of the sets! Star Munchkin + The Good, The Bad and the Munchkin? Join the Alliance, the Resistance or just a crew of rag-tag mercenaries as you explore barely-civilized planets, or even go to the core planets themselves. Munchkin Impossible + Super Munchkin + Munchkin Cthulhu? As an operative of a secret government organization, scour the world for ancient artifacts of power, which just might release The Great Old One himself!
- FRAG
- Its like a video game, but its a board game!
- Remember, interpret the rules as if the boardgame were a literal minded computer, and be sure to kill your opponents as quickly as possible!
- Illuminati
- Head a secret organization, and attempt to Organize, Destabilize, Rule or Destroy the world! Make temporary alliances as you see fit, but remember... Only one may win in the end.
- Hacker
- The game based on the 1990 raid of Steven Jackson Games headquarters.
- Surf the net and invade the systems you come across. Just be careful not to get raided by the Secret Service! Control the most systems, and become Net Ninja!
- SPANC
- Command your crew of Space Pirate Amazon Ninja Catgirls to get through the capers and get your Loot (and sometimes Lute), not to mention your Poolboys! Get into catfights with the other crews to fight over your toys and loot, or just take out the competition. First to 12 gets to retire in riches (and Poolboys).
