Dungeons and Dragons at The Manor: The Horns of Yule

Welcome to Dungeons & Dragons as you've never seen it before.

Inspired by Britain’s mythic, folkloric past, it is midwinter and a time for celebration - for the coming together of folk to mark 'halfway through the dark', but the dropping temperatures and seemingly endless nights are not all there is to fear ... the children have started to disappear ... again. Lady Aethelfrida's band of retainers are brought together once more, to bring a stop to this periodic tragedy and bring the children home ... if they still can.

In a land where people are cautious of the shadows between the trees; where settlements co-exist with ruins of places built long ago by vanished civilisations, old and new gods jostle for power, and monsters are terrifying and strange to civilised and respectable folk. The game is run, by professional and veteran GMs, with small-group tables, in an 18th century Sussex Manor House.

In a misty, mossy and magical Britain that never was, battle-hungry warriors, druids of the Old Gods, clerics of the New Gods, and thaumaturgists who have studied the sparse ancient knowledge, join forces with other characters, in this winter special game, for experienced and novice players, alike.

Specially written and presented by professional GMs, this adventure will be run for tables of no more than five, to keep action and interaction to a maximum. The event happens over two days, with the adventure split into chapters, with each chapter run by a different GM so that all can experience a range of different styles.

Refreshments will be available throughout the days, as will lunch on day one, and breakfast and lunch on day two.

Age suitability: 16+ adults (each attendee under 18 must be accompanied by an attendee aged 18+)

What players have said about previous Rogue20 game events:

“Really loved it. Thanks! Can’t wait for the next ones! And it was fun to mix up the GMs. It gave each section a fresh start which was useful for such a long day playing.”

“The whole day was a nice fun atmosphere. All the GMs were lovely and individual, the story was fun as were the players.”

For those with dyslexia and additional neurodivergent needs, specifically designed character sheets are available, and all our GMs have experience in running games for diverse groups.

Novices and veterans are all welcome and you will be brought into the groups that most suit your playing level.
