Fabled Roles

Most worldbuilding happens on your own. A map with four place names on it. A campaign you've been running in your head with nobody to run it for. A document you open and close.

Fabled Sessions is two hours where that happens in a room with other people doing the same thing.

There's a card at every place with three colours on it. Red is leave me alone. Orange is only if it's quick. Green is come and talk to me. You set yours when you sit down and change it whenever you like, which means someone who wants two silent hours and someone who wants to argue about how a river would actually run through their map can sit at the same table, and neither has to manage the other.

No introductions, no going round the room, and nothing you have to show anyone.

Three tables: the map, the people who live there, the factions and who secretly runs what. A town has built up across them session by session, made by whoever came that night. Add to it, or bring your own project and work on that instead.

Wednesday 26th August, 8 to 10pm, Highfield Community Centre, Hemel Hempstead. £10, booked in advance, 12 seats. No experience needed and no commitment to come back. Book once, see if it's your sort of thing.

A monthly worldbuilding evening in Hemel Hempstead. Maps, characters, factions, campaigns. Bring your own project or add to the shared town. £10, booked ahead.

Apologies!
The was a hiccup with the booking form not working...
That has been resolved now.

If you tried to book and weren't able to, it should all be fixed now. You are more than welcome to try again.

Again... Sorry.

Ran the last Fabled Session at the end of June. A small group built a place from nothing: someone drew the map, someone filled it with people, someone worked out the factions and who secretly runs them.

No plan going in. By the end there was a town on the table that none of us walked in with.

The next one is Wednesday 29 July, 8–10pm, at Highfield Community Centre.

Same shape: three tables, pen and paper, collaborative worldbuilding. Sit at the map, the people, or the factions, move between them, or just start somewhere and see what happens. No experience needed. Come alone or bring someone.

£10, booked in advance. Book once, see if it's your kind of thing. No commitment to come back.

The next Fabled Session is Wednesday 24 June, 8pm to 10pm, at Highfield Community Centre.

The town is still growing. Across the last few sessions a fictional place has been built up table by table: its map, the groups that run it, the people who live there. Some of it was made together, some of it by people who came in, sat down, and worked on their own world entirely. Both built the room.

This one runs the same way. Add to the town or bring your own thing. The cards on each table let you set whether you want to talk or focus, so you can do either without having to explain yourself.

Seated and pre-booked, £10 in advance, capacity 12. No experience needed, no commitment, each session stands on its own.

Wednesday 24 June, 8pm to 10pm. Book at fabledsessions.fabledroles.com

The reason you have not made space for yourself might genuinely not be down to you.

Kids who need more attention than expected. A caring role that does not stop. A job that follows you home.

These are not excuses. They are real shapes that real time gets forced into.

The question worth sitting with: is any part of this actually yours to change, or does it just feel like it should be?
