[Excalibur] Deathfest Is Almost Upon Us!

[Margaret Fonda Lucas]

Deathfest is Hampshire's semi-annual roleplaying tournament, and Excalibur's
biggest event.

If you've never been, it's easy!  (We use an über-simplified D20 system, in case
you were wondering.)  We'll teach you how to play. You need only a pencil and a
competitive spirit...  ("Creative morality" and a sense of humor help, too.)

There can be only one survivor...but there are dead games, snacks, movie
screenings, board games and more for when you're eliminated, and lots of prizes
will be awarded at the end if you do something impressive.  (Some of the
recurring prizes, like the Permanent Resident Award, or the Ultimate Badass
Award, are largely self-explanatory; others, like the Benjamin Scott Hopkins
Award For Creative Morality, have stories behind them.  Look for the
introduction of a new major award this semester!  Details after Tier Three...)

Starts at 6 p.m. Saturday, November 4, in the FPH Main Lecture Hall. Food and
the "dead room" (the hangout place after your character falls prey to your best
friend) will be in FPH 105.  Bring a pencil (and dice if you have them).

Everyone is welcome. You don't even have to be a geek.  Of course, if you're on
this mailing list, we already know what you are.

Be a lover and a fighter.  We'll see you there.
