Events

Yearly Fresher's "Squash"

During Fresher's Week at the start of the academic year, Cambridge's student societies hold introductory events (commonly known as "squashes") so freshers can explore their options and determine how they wish to spend their precious free time. CURTS is no exception. During fresher's week, we run an extra one of our "Guild" one-shot sessions specifically targeted at introducing newcomers to tabletop roleplaying games. Don't worry if you miss it, our normal guild sessions are still very accessible to new players, just ask a committee member to point you towards particularly welcoming games.

Guild of Heroes, Rapscallions and Allied Trades

Each term we host four fortnightly one-shot sessions on Saturday afternoons. These sessions comprise of a number of different RPG systems and settings, ranging from Dungeons and Dragons (high fantasy) to Call of Cthulhu (typically 1920s) to Traveller (scifi). At the end of each year, post-exams, CURTS runs a 24hr Guild event, which consists of 5 Guild sessions back-to-back, before finishing with a boss battle featuring characters from across the 24 hours.

Pub Nights

Pub nights are laid-back events where our members can chill out and get to know one another away from the gaming table. Conversation ranges from stories around the gaming table to political discussion, so it's a great way to unwind as the university working week comes to a close.
