Online event (Free but please register below to book a place)
On 13 November join David Blandy for an online table-top RPG session. The World After imagines Earth 8000 years after a Climate Cataclysm, where emerging societies must cooperate to face new threats from old foes.
The World After roleplaying game reimagines Canvey Wick (Essex) as an alternate future world, devising creatures based on local wildlife and myth, and imagining societies that have evolved in vast underground Havens. This is a world that feels familiar, but gives a new perspective on current global turmoil, imagining the Earth after humanity, 8,000 years after the Climate Cataclysm and a 20 meter sea-rise, where the emerging societies must cooperate to face new threats from old foes.
