My Fria Ligan Games At UK Games Expo 2025

UK Games Expo 2025, NEC, North Ave, Marston Green, Birmingham B40 1NT & Hilton, Pendigo Way, Marston Green, Birmingham B40 1PP

Friday 30th May - Sunday 1st June 2025.

http://www.ukgamesexpo.co.uk

So sorted out my Fria Ligan role playing games for UK Games Expo 2025, I’ll only be running four games this year, due to not getting full GM benefits.

A nice mix of Vaesen, Star Trek/Alien, Tales from the Loop, and a game sequel to the film “Alien Romulus”. All Year Zero Engine.

Game links below as the games have gone live.

+

“Vaesen - Those That Fight Alone”

Vaesen RPG

Friday Morning Slot

For up to seven players. New players welcome!

A student and gentleman of the esteemed Swedish historian and poet, Professor Erik Gustaf Geijer, the poet that brought the word “Viking” into common parlance, has written to the Society pleading for help. This young student, Baron Gustaf Wilhelm Leuhusen, feels he has a Doom upon him. Men who worked on the archeological dig at the old Norse burial mounds at Old Uppsala have all been violently slaughtered and he believes he is next.

Can the Society help? Does it have to do with the strange cuts on the Baron’s arm? And why are there soldiers wandering the streets of Uppsala dressed in the old uniforms of the Napoleon Wars?

Tags: Player-led, Investigation Horror (Alt-History), Horror, Supernatural, Magic, Dead, No Pre-gens, Rules-lite, Newbie Friendly, Fria Ligan, Flashing Lights, Musical Accompaniment.

+

“Alien - Star Trek Legacy: Conspiracy”

Alien RPG

Friday Afternoon Slot

For up to eight players. Newbies welcome!

Captain’s Log Stardate 79766.17

We were on route to Pacifica when we were interrupted by a Code 47 (Captain’s Eyes Only) call from Starfleet Admiralty. I’ve been ordered to take the Enterprise to the Perintha system, site of the Iconian Research Taskforce. There are no further details to the orders but my intuition is that they are wanting to send the Enterprise through the ancient Iconian Catapult Device in orbit of Perinthia Prime to be thrown instantaneously beyond the known Galaxy to the distant outreaches of deep space.

Nothing new for me then!

Captain Seven of Nine.

Tags: 18+, Star Trek, Picard Season 3, Hidden Agendas, Horror, Player-Led, Pre-Gens, Sci-Fi, PvP, Harsh Language, Spaceships with Carpets, Fria Ligan, Flashing Lights, Musical Accompaniment.

https://www.ukgamesexpo.co.uk/events/2690-alien-star-trek-legacy-conspiracy/

+

“Timeslips and Sunken Ships”

Tales from the Loop RPG

Saturday Morning Slot

For up to seven players. New players welcome!

“Hi Mum, we’re having a great time exploring the seaside, whilst Uncle and Auntie stay at the pub, and found rock pools full of sea creatures, deep caves, old wartime ruins on the cliff top, and when the tide goes out, a sunken ship!

We have to go now as a girl called Sarah has gone missing and we’re on the search party but I’ll bring fresh flowers to your grave when we get back home!”

Tags: Player-led, Sci-Fi (Alt-History), Nostalgia Play, No Pre-gens, Rules-lite, Newbie Friendly, Fria Ligan, Musical Accompaniment.

https://www.ukgamesexpo.co.uk/events/2689-timeslips-and-sunken-ships/

+

“Alien Remus”

Alien RPG

Saturday Afternoon Slot

For up to seven players. Newbies welcome!

Sequel to Alien Romulus

Jackson Star - a typical “shake & bake” colony, just seems more miserable, isolated and our supply runs are long and monotonous.

We get a bleep, a high-priority message to rescue a module launched from a space station crashing through the rings of the planet!

I hope the bonus situation still holds as this Remus Module is totally fragged before we even get there!

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