With SOXS getting closer, we’ve been firming up our programme. We’ve now updated the Games List with some of the games that will be running on the day, including our D&D adventures.
Please note that sign up is on the day and on a first come first served basis. For popular games you may wish to make sure you arrive when doors open to ensure you get the game you want.
SOXS Gaming Day 2016 will be on 5th November at our usual venue of Radley Village Hall.
We’re now accepting game pitches and other offers of activities for the day. Get in touch if you want to run a game.
Thanks to everyone who came along to SOXS today. You all helped us to make it a really fantastic and fun day of gaming for everyone.
We’ve got so many fantastic prizes for the SOXS raffle that we’re going to give people a bit longer to buy tickets and do the draw in a couple of weeks at the club on a Wednesday night. We’ll be in touch shortly with those who have won our lovely prizes.
Big thanks to Sainsburys for providing some provender for SOXS – this year we’ll have pizza, noodles and other savouries in addition to hot and cold drinks, sweets and cakes on offer.
Only one week to go!
We’ve had some great prize donations for our charity raffle, which is raising funds to provide physiotherapy for a disabled child at Footsteps. Osprey Books have donated two copies of Frostgrave and Secret Santa.

We have a number of opportunities to try out new games at this year’s SOXS. Indy Hippo Games (publisher of Sci Fi Beta Kappa) will be play testing their latest game Great Minds, as well as offering their light hearted game of alien delinquents, Sci Fi Beta Kappa.
We’re also pleased to welcome Simon Burley (author of Squadron UK and others) who will be offering two games played with his newly developed multi-genre Manifold rules – Retired and Super Powered, and The Dweller in the Dark.
If metal guitar music is your thing, then Metal Overtüre, a new RPG being developed by Dan Charlton, is going to be right up your street. Set in a world where guitars shoot lightning and battles of the bands are literal battles, this is an interesting setting that doesn’t do subtle.
You can find out more info about all of these on the Games List. We’ve also added a few more RPG slots and board games, including a superhero RPG in the afternoon for older children.
The games list has been updated with lots of new things, including D&D, Argyle & Crew and Artemis. Go and take a look.
Our new flyer is now ready. Please print off a copy and stick it up on any notice boards near you. We’re very grateful to everyone who helps us to get the word out. You can download it from the link as a PDF.
Due to forces beyond our control, the date of SOXS has had to change to a spooky halloween date of Saturday 31st October. Please add the new date to your diaries.
