THE SPIRE: No-one owns the sky!

The rain shouldn’t be this loud.
It drums against steel walkways and shattered glass. It pours through broken vents, pools
around flickering neon signs that hiss and spark like they’re drowning. The City smells
different now: metal, ozone, wet soil from illegal gardens blooming too fast.
Seven days of rain.
Seven days since the Spire lost control. They privatised the sky and called it order. We cut
it open and let it fall.”


In a neon-soaked cyberpunk megastructure where water is currency and magic runs on code, the sky has been hacked: and it won’t shut off. You play rebels in a world that would rather you disappear.
Blades hum with algorithmic spells, underground clubs double as resistance cells, and corporate raids are closing in.

This is a high-emotion, cinematic session utilising the Thirsty Sword Lesbians system about loyalty, rebellion, found family, and choosing who you want to be when the system is hell bent on crushing you. Expect fastmoving scenes, dramatic choices, rain-soaked flirtation, intense bonds, and the first sparks of a future that could change everything. 


PLEASE NOTE:  This is a two part Event taking place on the 11th and 25th of July.

Your ticket will get you access to both sessions, as these are meant to be experienced together.
