A cursed forest. A legendary ingredient. One chef who thinks the rumours are just superstition. 🥘

Join Shane for a Dungeons & Dragons one-shot adventure where the party is hired to es**rt a renowned chef deep into an eerie woodland in search of a rare culinary herb. But the deeper you travel, the stranger things become, and whatever guards this herb does not want it taken. 👀

Whether you’re brand new to D&D or a seasoned adventurer, this is a fun, welcoming one-shot with plenty of mystery, danger, and chaotic table moments.

https://society-megagame-2026.lilregie.com/
Location: The Meteor Theatre, Victoria St
Time: 10:00-5:00

The galaxy has been locked in debilitating war for decades. The resources of the great nations are largely spent, many planets are all but destroyed, and civil unrest swells. Can the tired nations bring a graceful end to war, without sacrificing too much of what has been gained?

Tension reigns as the great Huangdi Empire and their militaristic allies sit across battlefields and negotiation tables with their former vassals and political allies, as well as mercenaries, traders, raiders and rival Kingdoms.
***
By Other Means is a megagame of high-level diplomacy, negotiation and conflict designed by Ed Silverstone.. Players take on the role of senior officials and diplomats from the major galactic powers. The game involves a small amount of grand strategy and military operations, but the majority of time and attention will be focused on negotiation and discussion
