[Excalibur] DEATHFEST: Saturday at 6pm

[Evan Silberman]

Ladies and gentlemen,

Deathfest is this Saturday, 24th, in FPH, starting at 6pm. Don't be late.

What is Deathfest, you ask?

Well, it's Hampshire's semesterly roleplaying tournament, also
Excalibur's biggest event. 100 people playing in a pen-and-paper
role-playing game!

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 and the Alexander Holmes Cooley
Award for Leadership, have stories behind them.)

Starts at 6 p.m. Saturday, October 24th, in FPH. Bring a pencil (and
dice if you have them). We usually run till around 2am, but if you die
early, you can always leave.

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.


(Seriously, don't be late.)
