On a whim (and something to engage our little community) I've opened a Valheim game server for you all to play on. It is open to you and your friends/family to enjoy. If a Viking flavour RPG adventure in an open world survival crafting/building setting is your thing, then hop on over to our Discord server to see how to gain access. You will of course need a copy of the game on Steam if your taste in gaming is PC related or it is available on Xbox as part of the Game Pass service.

For parents on here who's younglings attend the group and you think they might be interested. It is a family friendly moderated game area where players can fight monsters, collect resources and build bases in a Viking setting with other members of our community.

We're looking forward to seeing you all again tomorrow. It feels like its been far too long.

As we close another year I find myself grateful for everyone who has attended, volunteered their services and spread the word about our little gaming safe space here in Cotherstone.

I look forward to the coming year where we continue our adventures together.

Don't forget for those who don't know. This months event will be our last until January. Since our usual DM Dan is away for this session and with it being the last of the year we will be engaging in a large scale game of Zombies!!! It's sure to be fun and chaotic for all involved.

Say hello to some of our fantastic players from last Saturday's birthday celebration.

I can't actually believe that it's been a year already since I started doing this. Whilst we've had some fun over the past 12 months, moving forward there will be some changes and updates to the format to make a more pleasant experience for all involved.

Firstly, originally I set out the Hellfire Club to include all kinds of board and card games, but over the past year it has become very clear that almost all of you who came to our little group are only interested in playing D&D. So moving forward I'll be increasing the focus on that score. I haven't set anything in stone yet, but I will be organising things so that the regular players will always have a table with consistent players and a DM. This means that new players to the group who are only there to see what it is like or if they like the game are introduced to the system in a consistent manner with short one evening adventures rather than being dropped into an existing campaign with little to no idea what's going on.

This fosters consistency for the regular players who can bond as a group each month and makes life simpler for the new players who just want to learn the game at a less urgent pace to see if they enjoy it. If it's something that they find they want to get further involved in they can be promoted to a regular table and take part in the ongoing campaign.

One of the things that surprised me the most about doing this was the positive feedback I received from participants and parents alike about how much they enjoyed and valued this event. Not just from the perspective of playing the game, but also the aspect of a safe comfortable space to be themselves and bond with like minded players.
Lastly, it's always been a goal to increase the number of players to the event but at the same time be aware that we only have a finite amount of players, resources and DM's to go around. If we are to focus on D&D and perhaps other tabletop RPG games moving forward I have to make sure things are organised well enough to increase numbers comfortably.

The next Hellfire on the 30th of September will be a special birthday edition with cake and frivolity.

Our usual DM Dan is taking a small sabbatical and will be replaced with our newly minted special guest DM Zander to further the adventure on the Stormwreck table with a one-shot tied into the current adventure.

Looking forward to seeing you all tomorrow. Hopefully, we will see some new faces turning up to bolster our numbers.

Our first year anniversary looms. Whilst we haven't decided what we might be doing yet, you can be sure it'll involve the usual mix of dice and hitting things with weapons.

29/07/2023

This coming September marks our first year of bringing D&D and games to you all in the local area. It's been a joy setting all this up for you and I hope it continues onwards.

I'd like to do something special to mark the occasion, but I'm not sure what that will be as of yet. Our other DM, Dan won't be there so this would mark a great time to do a one-off of something different.

I am open to suggestions but I was thinking of a small party of some sort or a large one off game of something.

This month, two D&D adventures will be starting concurrently. We will be splitting our regulars into two parties.

The first adventure is from the D&D starter set - The Dragons of Stormwreck Isle. This is a great adventure for new players to delve into who have never experienced the game before.

Secondly, we will begin the first chapter of a longer campaign taken from The Wild Beyond the Witchlight. Taking players into the mysterious world of the Witchlight Carnival and beyond.

There are spaces available on both tables. Get down early to secure your space.

Is it Hellfire this Saturday? Why yes, it is!

This month sees the penultimate conclusion to our Belmont adventure on the main table.

The second D&D table still has spaces available this month, so be sure to arrive early to secure a spot

Looking forward to seeing you all there!

Who's ready for some dice rolling action this coming Saturday? Our two D&D adventures will be continuing as normal and there is a handful of spots available on the second table for new players to join in on.

I have heard rumblings that there may be Magic the Gathering players invading our realm but the rumours are unsubstantiated at this time.

24/02/2023

Well, it's that time again tomorrow! Our new DM begins his inaugural session, so please be kind to him.

I am aware that there will be a few absent players for our main D&D table this month. Just as a note going forward though that spaces for absent players will be reserved for one session only. After that, it will be offered to another player.

As popularity for Hellfire grows and if we start seeing further growth I'll implement a proper booking system to keep things organised.

Since beginning this it wasn't my intention to just cater for D&D, but it seems that many of you are coming for just this purpose. Due to the fact that I can only cater for a set number of people for this, I want to be able to keep it fair for all involved and give everyone an opportunity to play.

19/02/2023

I'm just reposting this from the event page so everyone sees it from our new 2nd DM - Dan.

We are on the countdown to our next Hellfire club in Cotherstone.
Who do we have looking to join our second dnd group?
Please can people get in touch to confirm if you are coming It would also be great if people are able to come along with their characters prepared so that we can dive right in. We can always help with this if needed though
Priority will need to be given to those who attended in January. I hope you will understand.
Looking forward to seeing people then - DM Dan

The busiest night yet tonight. Apologies to those that turned up wanting to play D&D, hopefully you can join in next time.

28/01/2023

It's Hellfire night tonight! Don't forget that we start at 6pm and there is now a charge of £3 to cover costs.
We will be starting a new D&D adventure on the main table. Priority will be given to previous players.

Next month we will have a second resident Dungeon Master joining us. Anyone who wants to break in the new DM can prepare new characters in tonight's session. In the meantime, there are plenty of other games available to get involved in.

Looking forward to seeing you all.

Calling all Dungeon Masters! Due to the popularity of our Dungeons and Dragons table, we're going to need another DM very soon to start another table. If you have the necessary skills or eager to learn how to do it then get in touch.

Another great session last night. The brave adventurers finally vanquished the Thessalhydra (with a little assistance) and saved Everbrook with only minimal destruction to the local indigenous population.

Join us in January for an all new adventure. The group is already busy planning their new characters and carnival based back story.

As soon as I have dates for forthcoming events I will post them here. In the interim time, say hello on Discord. https://discord.gg/SesxFhYnYZ

Don't forget, its the last Hellfire of the year tomorrow. We will be back in January with brand new adventures.
