If yre interested in participatin gin the roleplaying activities at Av Connection you need to register ASAP! Register here with youre name and the group of people you wish to play the game with.

      What is roleplaying? Essentially, it's a group of people telling a story. One of the group sets the scene, akin to the director of a movie. The others play parts, like characters in a film or novel. Dice are used to resolve conflicts, and determine if the actions a character takes succeed or fail.

Roleplaying is a way of participating in a tale, rather than passively watching a film or reading a book. You experience the journey and influence the story. You help shape its course by
making decisions for the character you play. You are the hero, the lead,
the star. Your choices affect what happens next.

Roleplaying is the age-old art of storytelling, save the stories told
are not solely crafted by one person, but many.

   "It's always darkest before dawn" is a roleplaying game in the style
of mecha-based anime for four to five players. The game is systemless, meaning it does not use any mechanics from published roleplaying systems. Instead, the focus is on characterisation and story rather than dice and numbers.

No prior experience with roleplaying is necessary to participate
within this game.

"It's always darkest before dawn"
---------------------------------

Genre: Mecha-based Anime
Number of Players: 4-5
Rating: M
System: Systemless

Two empires fight ever onwards, interlocked in a battle that has crossed stars and spanned worlds for the past twelve years. Millions have been sacrificed by both sides in the name of honour. Still, more battles are fought and the blood continues to flow...

Now, a pivital opportunity to halt to the stupidity and bloodshed has presented itself. One side or the other could glean enough of an advantage to cripple their enemy and emerge victorious from the flames.

It all revolves around an impossible mission, a moral decision, and the faintest of hopes... Is the sacrifice of one man's life worth saving millions from a hopeless future?

    Roleplaying has been described as 'collaborative storytelling' and 'make-believe for grown-ups'. In convention roleplaying, a group of players get together with a GM (Game Master) to pretend to be other people for a while. Each player usually adopts one character for the duration of the game, and describes how that character acts in relation to the other characters and to the GM's plot.

One or two roleplaying games will be run over the weekend. There will be 4 or 5 places per session, with entries available to teams or individuals. Places are limited, so make sure to register in advance!
