Subject: [Excalibur] Deathfest DM Tryouts
Message-ID: <CACCnaXHOvGGfWviK01UQj3Wm7nF3dcDs4JsQv=eAtRkKC7rvkg@mail.gmail.com>

Hey all you folks out there in the snow-less cold.  We, the DMs of
Deathfest are looking to expand our ranks and replace the dead (on field
study or graduated).

*Think you got what it takes?*
Then you should try out.


*What is DMing you ask?*
DMing (or Dungeon Master-ing) is the organizational and creative role that
requires you to create a number of characters and scenarios with the
purpose of facilitating the running of those said scenarios with the
purpose of killing those said characters.  At least that's what it means
for Deathfest.

*What are the requirements?*
The only *true* requirement to tryout is to have previously participated in
at least one Deathfest event.  Other than that, being a Hampshire student
who is creative and fun doesn't hurt.

*When do these tryouts happen?*
Our first tryout time will be Sunday in the evening.

*How do I tryout?*
To tryout, email David Warshow (diw08 at hampshire.edu).  He will send you a
time and place for the tryout.

*What happens?*
24 hours before your tryout, we will send you prompt.  You will then base a
10-minute one-shot game in the Deathfest style based on that prompt.  You
will not have to make characters, though please note about 5-7 DMs will be
participating as your players.

*What if I'm not here for Jan Term?*
That's a good one.  We'll be playing that by ear.  We're only looking for
2-3 new DMs, so if we find the one's were looking for during Jan Term, we
most like will go with those due to scheduling constraints of having
Deathfest on 3/10.

*What if I have more questions?*
Feel free to email David Warshow (*diw8 at hampshire.edu*).

Subject: [Excalibur] First Mayan Blood: 1/7 Screening
Message-ID: <CACCnaXH7LN-kAKCHE=L7RkpkWd+SJKShYG-dvLXjEH6mmQbS0w@mail.gmail.com>

Hey there folks, welcome back to the Hampshire and the new year of our good
'ol Mayan apocalypse.

For Jan Term, what Excalibur does (since there are 3 Saturday screenings)
is show a couple of mini-series.

This year, we have the option of viewing 2 out of the following 3:

The Lost Room (This series revolves around the titular room and some of the
everyday items from that room which possess unusual powers. The show's
protagonist, Joe Miller, is searching for these objects to rescue his
daughter, Anna, who has disappeared inside the Room. Once a typical room at
a 1960s motel along U.S. Route 66, the Lost Room has existed outside of
normal time and space since 1961, when what is only referred to as "the
Event" took place.)

Tin Man (This miniseries is a reimagining and continuation of the classic
story *The Wonderful Wizard of Oz*, with science fiction and additional
fantasy elements added. It focuses on the adventures of a small-town
waitress named DG who is pulled into a magical realm called the O.Z., ruled
by the tyrannical sorceress Azkadellia. Together with her companions, DG
journeys to uncover her lost memories, find her true parents, and foil
Azkadellia's plot to trap the O.Z. in eternal darkness.)

BBC's Sherlock (Sherlock is a British television series that presents a
contemporary update of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes detective
stories. Be aware that we will be showing the second season of this
mini-series, as the episodes air the Sundays before the screening).

Be prepared to vote for which series you'd rather us not show at:

8PM
ELH
Saturday.
