Tabletop Game Suggestions

[Emp 209]

Hey guys, I've come here to ask for some advice...

 

I and a friend at school, as senior students, are interested in starting up a lunchtime tabletop game club at our school. I'm wondering if anyone can recommend any good beginner-and-above-level games.

 

I go to a co-ed, Prep - Year 12 Christian school, so, unfortunately, there are some restrictions on what we're able to provide :/

 - Not dark, demonic, etc.

 - Not excessively violent.

 - No magic.

 - Relatively easy to learn.

 - Preferably something that doesn't take more than a few hours.

 

As of yet, I've discovered some interesting options; Pendragon, Talisman, and Dominion look rather promising. From these examples, I'm thinking that something historical, political would be interesting.

I'm sorry and a bit embarrassed about the limitations, but I feel like introducing young kids and teenagers to tabletop and RP is a worthwhile effort.

 

Let me know!

Yeah, in my school, no one knows what RP is. When I mention 'role-play', everyone looks at me like   

You could try something like D&D? Yeah know, go old school.

The limitations restrict any good tabletop games besides the classics, but as you're asking us I'll assume you want something more exotic.

I don't think its possible really, I'd say just go with the classics. B-ut if you're willing to stretch the truth a bit maybe I've got some suggestions.

 

• Magic the gathering

 

• Dungeons and Dragons

 

• Call of Cthulhu

 

• Warhammer

Now as someone who is apart of a Christian School, who has had to explain to a teacher that we were not trying to summon Satan with a game of Magic the Gathering. Once you've explain that the game does not involve any dark rights, to the prince of devils, the lord of Carrion. L-ucifer! You should be fine.
