Aight folks, welcome to back to a new year.  We got new people, new washers
n' driers and the same old Excalibur here to deliver upon to you movies and
shows and food as an act of providence.

We will be meeting in ELH at 8PM on Saturday (9/10) for Danny Boyle's *28
Days Later.*
*
*
We won't be watching the series this weekend as Hampfest hasn't occurred and
a lot of first-years don't know about the group yet.

HEY THERE FOLKS!
Deathfest is coming up again and we need new DMs!  Think your drill is the
drill that will pierce the heavens?  Then you should go and fight with giant
galaxy-size robots.  However, if you think you have the creative
capabilities to make people die in funny ways and enough arm strength to
lift and roll at least 5 dice simultaneously, then WE WANT YOU (to try out).

ONLY REQUIREMENT: You must have attended at least one Deathfest event
previous.

Here's how it works: you'll email me and then you'll receive a time-slot on
one of our tryout days.  24 hours before your time slot, we will send you
your prompt, which is the idea or phrase or whatever that you will base a
one-shot 10-minute scenario in the DF-format.  You may make characters, but
that isn't necessary.  Expect 4-6 people in your game.

The tryout days are Thursday 9/15 and Monday 9/19 at 6:30 pm.

EMAIL ME AT ZBC08 for questions or interest!

Best of luck to you all!

Welcome one and all the real first Excalibur email of the semester, now that
Hampfest has actually occurred.  I would like to personally thank each and
every new member to the Excalibur mailing list, though I won't, because
there were *so many* of you.  That makes my various geek organs quiver with
joy and elation, not actually gross, I swear.

Here's the lowdown, we screen movies n' TV shows that are of the science
fiction and fantasy flavor weekly.  We watch an episode of the show (that
lasts a semester), eat food, then watch a movie (see a list of suggested
movies HERE <https://hampedia.org/wiki/Excalibur>).

Additionally, every semester we run the rather popular event known as
Deathfest <https://hampedia.org/wiki/Deathfest>, which is out 200-person
simplified Dungeons and Dragons tournament where basically everyone dies.
 You'll be seeing more emails about that in the future, but it has been
booked for Saturday, October 22nd in FPH.

Additionally, if you have any suggestions for things we should watch, please
EMAIL ME <zbc08 at hampshire.edu>.

The screening for Saturday 9/17 is *X-Files* for the series and *City of
Ember* for the movie.  We will be meeting in the *ELH of FPH at 8PM.*
*

Be there.

YEAH OCTOBER.

Big Fish

X-Files

8PM ELH FPH SATURDAY.

Also: please be respectful with the food.  Though there is plenty for all,
remember that it's not intended to be a meal and the signers really
shouldn't *have* to try to corral you.

I'd hate to bring my Asking Stick (wooden baseball bat), Telling Leg
(broken-off wooden table leg), Pretty Please Pipe (length of metal square
tube that once served as a table leg), or my Would You Kindly Golf Club
(golf club meant to beat the skull of Andrew Ryan in).

Dig?

Dig.

Alright folks, Deathfest <https://hampedia.org/wiki/Deathfest> is upon us.

*What's Deathfest you ask?*
Deathfest is Hampshire's semiannual 200-person last-man-standing simplified
role playing tournament.

*When is it?*
October 22nd, 6PM in the Main Lecture Hall of FPH.

*How do I play?*
You show up with a pencil (please), dice (if you got 'em), sense of humor,
sense of morality (which we will have a bin for you to dispose of on your
way in), and a smile ('cause you're pretty).
You'll act out a character to the best of your ability and more likely than
not, die.  Though the death is quite good fun.

*What's the history/community importance of Deathfest?*
I would say look at our Hampedia page <https://hampedia.org/wiki/Deathfest>.
 So look at our Hampedia page <https://hampedia.org/wiki/Deathfest>.

*What if I've never played Dungeons and Dragons or have not role-played
before?*
No worries!  We make the game as accessible to everyone, from novice to
expert, as possible.  We'll walk you through what you need to know to
achieve the following: *roll and die.*
*
*
*How can I support Deathfest?*
Excellent question!  In recent history, we wanted to give more to the fun
and exciting players who win our named prizes, but for that, we needed more
money (COCA will only fund up to a singular dollar per prize), so we
starting selling awesome shirts!
We are currently running a pre-order of our 2011 line of Deathfest apparel.

SHIRTS: PRE-ORDERS END TUESDAY OCTOBER 4th AT
MIDNIGHT.<http://deathfest.bigcartel.com/>

We will be selling the shirts only on-site for $20 flat, so pre-order soon!

This is the last semester for this shirt, as we will be looking for a new
design in the Spring of 2012!

Thanks and I look forward to seeing you there!

Best,

Zachary
