Part of our RPGs for Building Alternative Futures programme.

Join GZL as we host a series of monthly TTRPG (table-top role-playing games) at the library! In this series, we will play some amazing, award-winning independent role-playing games, focused on collaborative world-building, group storytelling, and the role of communities. It’s going to be a lot of fun, with a light-emphasis on roleplaying, suitable for people with ANY level of experience in playing games like this. If you’ve always wanted to try an RPG, join us!

In this session we'll be playing Dialect: A Game About Language and How It Dies.

Dialect is a game about an isolated community, their language, and what it means for that language to be lost. In this game, you’ll tell the story of the Isolation by building their language. New words will come from the fundamental aspects of the community: who they are, what they believe in, and how they respond to a changing world. Players take away both the story they’ve told and the dialect they’ve built together.

Play time: 3-5 hours. Learn more about this game.

Refreshments will be provided on the night! Game capacities listed below are based on 1 table of players. Depending on demand, we may run 2 or more games simultaneously.
