My Fria Ligan Games at Chicago Tabletop RPG Pickup Con 2021

Chicago Tabletop RPG Pickup Con 2021, Virtual RPG Convention

Saturday 22nd - Sunday 23rd May 2021

http://ttrpgpickupcon.com/

These are the two Fria Ligan RPG games I am running at Virtual Chicago TTRPG Pickup Con in May.

The first is my regular Tales From The Loop Mystery set in the UK 1984. Adventures during the British summer as the Kids play on wasteland and avoiding school bullies, weird plants, and seeking missing pets.

What’s can go wrong?

The second game is an Fria Ligan Alien scenario using the crew of The Betty from Alien: Resurrection as the player characters. A heist on a popular space liner under a tight time constraint for a psychotic crime boss, what could go wrong?

‘Atomic Butterflies and Feral Buddleia’

Tales from the Loop RPG

Saturday Evening Slot (22:00 GMT+1)

For up to six players. New players welcome!

“Watching the swarm of butterflies flowing between the Buddleia at the 'meadow' where you play is peaceful in the sunshine and the silence is welcome after all the arguments at home. But why is it so quiet, where is the birdsong, and what are all these little bones scattered about in the grass?

‘All That Glitters is Gold’

Alien RPG

Saturday Evening Slot

For up to six players. Newbies welcome!

The job would be a cinch, a simple box bust on a floating palace baron stuck in a jam. Ringers onboard have thrown a spanner in the works.

Once they douse the glim, we bolt in offering gall gab as we grift our way in. Togged up as grease-monkeys to fix their gears they’ll welcome us in.

There’s no gitters or feds to nix the keister so we can oil open the box.

The haul wouldn’t be chicken feed either, it will be a cushy number of props. We secure the derby, scoot it out on The Betty, and meet up for the slaughter for our split. You savvy?

Tags: 18+, Alien, Hidden Agendas, Horror, Player-Led, Pre-Gens, Sci-Fi, Spaceships with Ashtrays, Fria Ligan, Musical Accompaniment.

This is the May update for the UK RPG conventions for 2021 and far beyond.

Please note that other conventions may also cancel as the COVID-19 pandemic continues.  Many conventions are running a virtual version of the convention instead.

Each has a website (though a few have Facebook pages) for information and details.

I am waiting on news on a few regular events so I may update this list.
