This is the website for the Running Horses Roleplaying and Wargames Club. We are small informal group that meet every Thursday evening at the Running Horses Public House in Erith. The venue is perfectly suited to gaming as we have the entire upper floor with its tables and space.
At present this site is only representative of one table within the club, but as an when material comes in we will be adding additional material.
| The Running Horses is a Public House near the Thames waterfront in Erith, SE London. Its origins can be dated back to 1810 when a William Kempton (Kimpton) held the license. Then it was right on the waterfront, but building and in-filling have moved the waterfront further back. |  |
To see who we are, please visit our members page.
See below for links to the games we have played.
Currently only Paul and I (Andy) are producing game pages with the support
of all the other player/GMs within our group.

After our experience with Buffy rpg, the group wanted to play more so
Paul will be running an campaign that is set in the Universe Gaz created
for his Buffy game. His campaign, entitled Dark Angeles will be set
after the end of Angel Season 3.
Eden's Uni-System is the perfect system to adapt existing characters as well as allow for the inclusion of new PCs that can fit into the campaign. GM: Paul |

Welcome to the Otherworld...
A world where your co-worker could be a werewolf. She won't bother you, though it might be wise to forgo those midnight walks in the forest. Best not to tempt fate. A world where your neighbour could be a witch. Don't bother asking her for a love potion. She prefers spells of true magic, sometimes darker than she can handle. Based on the series of books by Kelley Armstrong, the game revolves around 'The Pack' a group of werewolves led by Jeremy Lucas. Lucas, a reclusive painter, lives in a manor house near Derby. GM: Liz |

Buffy the Vampire rpg - Eden Studios. This is a fantastic game based upon the
excellent series of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. The production is top notch and
the way they have adapted their Uni-system rules to perfectly simulate the
feel for the series is amazing. The combat is fast, easy to run and descriptive
enough to allow you to re-create the series on the gaming table.
Gary is currently running a Buffy (actually Teddy) campaign which you can read about by clicking the image above. GM: Gaz |
Please click above to access the Paul's Call of Cthulhu Index Page
|
Call of Cthulhu. This rpg is a firm favourite that has stood the test of time.
After all these years it still exists in essentially the same format that it
did when it was originally published way back in the early 1980s. Steve runs
a 1920s Call of Cthulhu campaign that takes the characters to various times
and places. Gary is running a 1920s England-based campaign as well as a 1930s
America based one. Andy has a Medieval CoC Campaign and a Modern game utilising
the rules from the rpg Millennium's End favourite rpg of the group
(although many will argue in favour of other games) GM(s): Various. |
Please click above to access Andy's CoC Dark Ages/Medieval Page
|
Call of Cthulhu Dark Ages by Chaosium is an alternative setting for Cthulhu
campaigns. It is an excellent book containing a complete set of rules as well
as background for the period. There is enough within this book to allow newcomers
to the game to be able to play as well as keep experienced CoC GMs and players
interested. Andy currently has a Cthulhu~Medieval campaign set in Twelfth
Century England. The story revolves around the journey of a few characters
from Winchester to Glastonbury Abbey in the thick of winter. GM: Andy |
Please click above to access Paul's D&D Page
|
What can you say about D&D? Thirty years old and still popular. If you want
to be the Hero's Hero then this is still high on the list. now in its third major
incarnation (D20) everyone has their favourite.
Liz is currently running a Third Ed. game where a small but heroic band battle against the myriad forces of darkness. You can read the diary of the characters and experience their adventures by clicking on the image above. GM (D20): Liz GM (D&D): Karen |
There is no link for a FWTD page yet, but the Tales of the River Rat are coming soon.
|
Fates Worse Than Death is a wonderfully detailed rpg that, to be honest,
is worth buying simply to read. There is a warning that your brain will
explode if you attempt to do this in one go, so be warned! The game is set
in the New York on 2080 and concerns gang life. The PCs all play members of
one group or another. The rules contain all the background of the city, from
its past up to its future, gang (or class) descriptions including detailed
backgrounds and specific rules, a comprehensive equipment section and they
still found space for the rules system. Gaz has run a few games set in this
rather bleak version of New York and they’ve been very popular. GM: Gaz |
Please click above to access Paul's Kult Page
|
Kult is a game set in the world of large cities at the end of the twentieth
century. It is a world where human wickedness is mingled with terrors from other
parts of a true unseen reality. Fascism still pervades politics and commerce.
Sensitive people are crushed by the anonymity of the cities and become psychotic
monsters. Primitive passions grow and fester until they erupt in sick perversions.
The hero's of the game are vehicles of destiny, bound to act in myths that they
have never heard of, myths that people have forgotten, myths that are the truth.
Adult content! GM: Paul GM: Alex Notes coming soon |
 Please click above to access Andy's Millennium's End Zombies Campaign Page
|
Millennium's End is a roleplaying game set in the modern techno-thriller genre.
It has an excellent combat system involving the use of transparant overlays of
drawings of figures. Andy has run several Mill End games, but in his usual manner
he has converted it to different settings. The group ran a short Twilight 2000
game using this rule set, which went very well. Later, Andy started a Call of Cthulhu
Modern campaign which also worked very well except for the need to draw alien/monster
body maps! Paul's notes on this campaign can be reviewed in our Call of Cthulhu
section. More recently, Andy has run Mill End using the remake of Dawn of the
Dead as a setting which you can review by clicking on the image.

Please click above to access Paul's Serenity Page
|
Based on the TV Series 'Firefly' and the follow-up film 'Serenity' by Joss Weedon. It has
been described as Cowboys and Indians in Space. The campaign, being run by Steve, follows the
adventures of the diverse crew of the Space Transport "Gettysberg".
GM: Steve G. |
We will soon by adding a Traveller page to our website
|
Some will argue that Traveller was the original sci fi roleplaying game, and I
can't think of any that preceed it. Its gone by at least six editions by various
games publishers and is still here.
Gaz has run the Long Way Home campaign at the Running Horses and now plans to run The Traveller Adventure, a scenario he says that he has had for twenty years! GM: Gaz |
Please click above to access Andy's Twilight 2000 Page
|
Twilight 2000 is a post-apocalyptic rpg set after a nuclear war. The first edition
was written back in the late 80s and it was conceivable that the West and the
Soviet Block could go to war. Andy runs a campaign using Edition 2.2 and we assume
that it’s an alternative reality.
The campaign follows the adventures of a small British unit as they struggle to survive post-nuclear-exchange Poland. The campaign tries to be character-based so that real stories are told, rather than a campaign of constant combat. GM: Andy |
