[Excalibur] DEATHFEST: March 6th

[Evan Silberman]

Ladies and gentlemen,

Deathfest is next Saturday, March 6th, in FPH, starting at 6pm in the
Main Lecture Hall.

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, March 6th, 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. But if you stay, you can play in dead
games and watch the legendary Tier III festivities.

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.
