[Excalibur] Deathfest Reminder Time!

[Margaret Fonda Lucas]

Yes, it's that time of the semester again--when we remind you that we told you
that Deathfest is coming up!!!

If you're a GM, hopefully you're more prepared than I am right now.  That's
probably a moot hope, of course.  (Don't worry, we'll still get everything
taken care of in time.  We always do--some people just don't get much sleep the
night before.)

If you're not a GM, hopefully you're going to be there THIS SATURDAY at 6 p.m.
in the FPH Main Lecture Hall!  With a pencil!  And dice if you have them!  And
all your friends!

See you guys there.  Or else we, like, hunt you down or something.  We GMs, you
know, are killers.

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.
