Deathfest! It's coming up in two weeks: Saturday November 17th, 6pm, in the FPH Main Lecture Hall.<br><br>What is this event, you ask?<br><br>Well, it's Hampshire's semesterly roleplaying tournament, also Excalibur's biggest event.
<br><br>Shamelessly stolen from Fonda's writeup last fall:<br><br>If you've never been, it's easy! (We use an über-simplified D20 system, in case<br>you were wondering.) We'll teach you how to play. You need only a pencil and a
<br>competitive spirit... ("Creative morality" and a sense of humor help, too.)<br><br>There can be only one survivor...but there are dead games, snacks, movie<br>screenings, board games and more for when you're eliminated, and lots of prizes
<br>will be awarded at the end if you do something impressive. (Some of the<br>recurring prizes, like the Permanent Resident Award, or the Ultimate Badass<br>Award, are largely self-explanatory; others, like the Benjamin Scott Hopkins
<br>Award For Creative Morality and the Alexander Holmes Cooley Award for Leadership, have stories behind them.)<br><br>Starts at 6 p.m. Saturday, November 17, in the FPH Main Lecture Hall. Bring a pencil (and dice if you have them).
<br><br>Everyone is welcome. You don't even have to be a geek. Of course, if you're on<br>this mailing list, we already know what you are.<br><br>Be a lover and a fighter. We'll see you there.<br><br>Andy "I rolled a 20 on plagiarism" Berquist
