2009-09-09 Guild Meeting Notes

Prepared by Scribe Will H.

Fellow Gamers,

We had a great turnout at the Role Playing Guild meeting last night. But don’t worry if you weren’t able to come, you’re still more than welcome to join us for anything and everything the Guild will be doing.

Champion City ComiCon will be held in Shouvlin this Saturday (9/12) from 10 AM-7 PM. There will panels about comics as well as loads of vendors. Entry fee is $3 with a Wittenberg ID.

Because ComicCon is in Shouvlin, Saturday Night Board Game Night is moving to Bayley Auditorium in the Science Center for this Saturday (9/12) only. Next week, we’ll be back in the second story of Shouvlin. Feel free to join us any time from 7PM till Midnight.

After a close vote between wanting to see Pirates or Scottsmen, the Guild has decided that we are going to the Renaissance Festival on Saturday, October 10. That’s during the “Highland Games” theme weekend featuring Scottish culture and kilts. We had more than 15 people say they plan on coming, so we’ll be able to get the group discount for tickets.

There were a number of people interested in Magic: The Gathering, so we’ll have games at Saturday Night Board Game Night if people want to play. We’re also looking into possibly having a tournament at WittCon. More info on that to come.

We’re trying to have at least two one-shot Role Playing Games per month to try out new systems, to provide GM experience, and to give people who can’t commit to a full campaign a chance to play. Will H. is running a Star Wars D6 one-shot on Friday, September 18. Eric E. and Andy K. are planning an epic tier D&D one-shot as well, but haven’t picked a day yet.

Finally, if you’re interested in being part of a Role Playing Game campaign but didn’t get a chance to sign up, let the Game Master know since we’ll be starting games next week. More information about each campaign is on the Role-Playing Guild Sharepoint site, but I’ll quickly summarize each of the campaigns:

  1. Atlantis Awaits (Savage Worlds)- An Indiana-Jones style adventure in search of the Lost City of Atlantis. Run by Will H. Able to take 2 more players.
  2. Echoes of the Last War (Dungeons & Dragons 4e)- Uncover a vast conspiracy in the land of Eberron. Run by Andy K. Able to take 1 more player.
  3. The Enemy Within (Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay)- Forge your path in the midst of dark forces plotting to tear apart the Empire. Run by Katrina O. Able to take 3 more players.
  4. Tattered Fates (Dark Heresy)- Portents and ancient evils face the acolytes on the planet Quaddis. Run by Lionel W . Able to take 3 more players.
  5. Welcome to Earth Defense Force (Cthulhu Tech)- It’s up to the players to keep two alien forces and long vanished races from destroying humanity. Run by Eric E. Able to take several more players.

Well, that was a lot. If you read the whole thing, you deserve a cookie! Mmm… those sound good right now.

P.S. Just wanted to remind you again that Saturday Night Board Game Night is in Bayley Auditorium this week, not the second story of Shouvlin where it usually is. See you then!
