Profound Decisions

A friend once said that when live roleplayers are frothing in the pub after an LRP game, they don't froth about the game, they froth about the cool things they did. Profound Decisions has been running games since 2004 striving to give all our players as many of those moments as possible. Our games are run by a large team of volunteers drawn from some of the very best people in the hobby. As a company our first goal is to ensure that our crew enjoy our events. We know that when our crew are enjoying themselves they will produce the most incredible games for our players to enjoy.
Maelstrom is a game of colonization and discovery. A path has opened through the fiery Maelstrom allowing the great powers of the Known World to colonize the continent that lies on the other side. A scramble for power has begun as all seek to explore this new realm and discover the mysteries of the new technology and magic that it offers to those who can command it. 
The world of the Maelstrom is populated by rich Trading Houses and powerful Churches as well as the great nations of the Known World. You can choose to play a representative of any of these powers or reject their authority and play a pirate, freebooter or even one of the strange natives of this New World. Maelstrom's detailed rules allow you to play any one of a dozen races even including dragons. The campaign is supported by an extensive downtime system that allows you to control your characters actions between events allowing your character to pursue their goals and gain new skills and abilities.
Odyssey is a game of politics and epic battles. Five years ago, Alexander the Great, mightiest conqueror in history, was defeated in battle when he challenged the gods themselves. Now the gods have decreed that all conflict will take place at the annual, where champions battle in the arena while others scheme to control the world.
The five nations of the Odyssey world are Carthage, Egypt, Greece, Persia and Rome. Each of these send their best to the Annual to bring glory to their gods through victory in the Great Game or simply to settle scores. Each nation has it’s own traditional costume, weapons and armour that players are strongly encouraged to adopt. Odyssey uses an exceptionally simple rule system to bring the world to life. A few simple choices are all that is required to create your character, choose your nation and your path and then you're ready to play. There is no advancement between events so all characters, new and old, are equally powerful.
We strive to achieve the very highest standards possible in LRP and encourage all our players to do likewise. We use metal coins for currency in all our games and for Odyssey the arena battles take place inside a purpose built gladiatorial arena with seating for hundreds of cheering onlookers. We are passionate about LRP and we want to do everything reasonable to ensure that you enjoy our events. We enjoy talking to players, so feel free to get in touch at any time whether you're new to LRP or have been playing for years.
