There's a special new opportunity to experience our whimsical, earnest, and extremely gay way of building characters and worlds. This October half-term, Intrapology is bringing a series of alternative indie tabletop storygames to High Street Rotherham. We're going to use cards, dice, crystals, and our own imaginations to tell stories about our magical little town.

These events are intended for attendees aged 16-25.

Plug In & Play is Rotherham's Festival of videogames, digital arts and role-playing activities. It is run by the Children's Capital of Culture.

What we're playing

Hocus Pocus Hyperfocus, Allison Brandy and Cole Wright

A cozy storytelling game for 2-6 players about a little witch with ADHD and all the magic in the world to distract her. A magnificent mess where anything can happen.
