BCRPS Guide

From Black Country Role Playing Society

The club is dedicated to playing Role Playing Games (RPGs). We play all RPGs and have 4 games running each week. Each game runs for a total of 8 weeks before we change over to new ones, we call these Game Rotations. As for Member numbers, we currently have 20+ regular members attend each week. We are, as always, open to new people at any time who want to come along.

The BCRPS is an official playtest group for Mongoose Publishing's range of Role Playing Games.
