Alright folks, 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?
March 10th, 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.  So look at our Hampedia page.

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 did not have the time to organize a 2012 shirt design so we will be
selling off stock of 2011 shirts (link to design<http://i.imgur.com/kDGwo.jpg>
).

We will be selling the shirts only on-site for $15 flat, so pre-order soon!

Thanks and I look forward to seeing you there!

Alright folks, here's what's going down for screening during break:

IF there are enough people, I will be showing Cowboy Bebop.

The movie will be REDLINE (yes, this is the all pretenses dropped anime
night).

If there *aren't* enough people, I'll be bringing along some other movies
I'll show until you all just want to go home already.

8PM, Saturday, ELH.

Hey there folks, I sure hope y'all enjoyed dying as much as we enjoyed
killing you at Deathfest.

If you didn't get a chance to fill out a DM evaluation sheet,  feel free to
email me (zbc08 at hampshire.edu) answering the following questions:

Who was you tier 1 dm?  Did you die?  Did you find tier one enjoyable?
What are your thoughts?

Who was your tier 2/dead game dm(s)?  Did you die?  Did you find your tier
2/dead game enjoyable?  What are your thoughts?

Did you play in or watch tier 3?  What did you think?  Any thoughts for
Deathfest as a whole?

Thanks guys!

Best,
Zachary

It's the last screening of break before everyone else returns and we are once
again forced to wake up obscenely early to go to class off campus...or is that
just me?

Since there aren't enough people to show Bebop, we're showing the brand spanking
new episodes of Korra and the movie Kick-Ass, because we should all learn how to
be a good parent through the example of Nicholas Cage.

8pm, Saturday, WLH.
