Old World Adventures

Hi all, hope you're all doing well :)

We're all good for our event next weekend, our numbers are looking very healthy both on the crew side and the player side.

We aim to start time in at 11am so please try to arrive on site at 10am to give us time to mark up players and do a crew briefing.

We're meeting at the Youth hostel car park (AKA Hurtwood car park 14) which is a different car park to last event

Crew briefs will be sent out to the crew early or mid this week :)

Hi everyone - just to confirm, we're on for Event 5 tomorrow, aiming for a time-in at 11 so if both players and crew can aim to arrive from 10 onwards that'll be a big help in terms of getting everyone ready. We'll be at Hurtwood Carpark 11 (same as last event).

Weather looks to be very obliging - warm and sunny but not too hot, with no rain and only a light breeze. Looking forward to seeing everyone for a great day out!

Hello everyone, im very sad to announce that we're forced to cancel the OWA event this Saturday, due to sickness a very large portion of the crew are unable to make it to the event and we were unable to replace the losses sufficiently, its unfortunate but completely understandable. We realise many of you have made preparations to come to this event, booked time off work, arranged for pet care ect and we're very sorry for the inconvenience, its not a decision we wanted to make but we truly feel that we have no alternative and at least wanted to give all of you a heads up as soon as we could instead of delaying it another day for the slim chance we could find enough replacement crew to go ahead and potentially annoying you all even more by giving you a last minute cancellation.

I would like to thank Bear, Smee and T for their efforts in trying to help us pull together the event and apologise for any inconvenience in your schedules this has caused.

We will try to reschedule an event as soon as is convenient.

Many thanks to Justin McKie for taking and sharing these amazing shots from last Saturday's event, especially while juggling doing a great job roleplaying!

Many thanks to everyone who came to Event 4 - March of the Faithful! Our first event of 2024 was a blast, with both players and crew pulling out all the bells and whistles. Can't wait for the next one! - Sophia

We're currently aiming for the third Saturday of the month (apart from July, to avoid Curious Pastimes), every other month - though we may need to change or add dates depending on circumstances.

Hope to see you at one or more of these dates soon!

13/01/2024

Happy 2024 everyone! Looking forward to seeing you all at OWA this year, and planned dates for our events will be posted shortly. In the meantime, please see attached a short story, covering some of the events taking place in the winter months in the wake of our heroes' efforts...

02/12/2023

One week on - congratulations to our brave heroic players and villainous (but really equally heroic) crew, who ventured out last Saturday for our final and frosty OWA event of the year. Thanks to everyone who came out, and helped us end the year with another successful event.

Particular thanks for the crew as always, for giving it their all and putting on a show - and a challenge! - for the intrepid players, as they battled to put a stop to the raging threat of the Beastmen and their allies...as well encountering more of the strange spirits drifting through the woods...

We can't wait to see lots of returning and new faces when we resume events in the Spring. We're planning for the first event - and 4th overall - for the 30th March 2024, so feel free to put it in your diaries now!

We'll be in touch with some updates in the meantime, including a few looks at what's going on in Auricsburg and the surrounding woods over the long dark...but otherwise, hope you all have a lovely Christmas and winter season, and looking forward to seeing you in 2024!

Hope everyone's excited for our event next weekend! If you'd like to eat in the pub with us afterwards please let us know so we can let the pub know ahead of time how many to expect.

This session will be a bit shorter than previous adventures, we should finish at around 4pm, before things get too dark.

We should hopefully have the crew brief sent out to all members of the crew by tuesday/wednesday.

see you in the Drakwald!
