Happy holidays and I hope you all take time to rest and recharge and play some fun games over the break! Looking forward to seeing you all again in the New Year!
❗ Announcements ❗
👕 Merch Survey
This is your last few days to share your thoughts and preferences for the merch that we're going to be organising in Term 2! The deadline for the survey is Friday 16th December so please take a few mins to let us know what sort of merch you'd be interested in and for what sort of price - thank you!!
Please click here to fill in the survey!!
🦔 Big RPG Survey
If you've ever expressed interest in picking up RPGs then this is an event for you to get excited about! I know that many folks join the society looking to play DnD (I certainly did!) and whilst Wanderhome is an undoubtedly different system, the core of collaborative storytelling and magical roleplaying is, in my opinion, even stronger in it and I would urge you to give it a shot! Not least because it'll be a great place to meet a bunch of other RPGers and maybe to find a party you gel with and could kick off a game of DnD (or something else!) with in the future!
If you are interested in participating in the Big RPG next term, please fill in this brief survey about your interest in and knowledge of Wanderhome, as well as your preferred play style (GM'd, semi-GM'd, GMless).
Click here to complete the survey! The survey will close at the end of Term 2 Week 3.
Also a reminder of the time and place for the Big RPG:
- 📆 Sunday 5th February (Week 4)
- 🕙 TBC
- 🗺 LIB2
💸 RPG Purchase Request Form
Hello! We've emptied a lot of old, unplayed or systems where we had supplements, but not the corebook out of the cupboards. If you have systems you'd like us to buy/consider purchasing with the profits of these sales, please do fill in the google doc here.
(You can check what systems we already have on the website here and this survey is an ongoing affair so there's no end date!)
❔ What's happening this week? ❔
HOLIDAY TIME
We are not running any official events over the holiday, however you can still use the website to set up any RPGs/other games that you'd like others to sign up to and you are of course welcome to use the Discord to arrange to play games online throughout the holiday. We'll be back in Week One next term (i.e. from Monday 9th January) and Term 2 boasts the Big RPG, the AGM, another quiz, more tabletop weekends and plenty more besides so there's lots to look forward to!
Remember, you can always find an up-to-date timetable of what's going on on our website's Schedule page, and you can see special events (including RPGs) and sign up to them via our Events page.
💭 What happened last week? 💭
Our wargames event came to a conclusion last Monday:
Fragum's Rift falls silent at last. Gunshots fade in the distance, as the final fights draw to a close. All that remains is the steady flow of blood that runs though the capital's gutters. Within a month, all creatures will be extinct - another month, and plant life will have wilted. This sector is of no use to anyone now, but it has served its purpose to Khorne on this day. The skull throne stands that bit taller with the combatants of Fragum's Rift annihilated!
Congratulations to Ben for the win, and thank you to everyone who took part this term!
Extra Bonus End Bit
A roll table of very sensible New Year's Resolutions:
- Watch every video essay that your friends have sent you/that you've added to watch later but never quite gotten round to watching and now the total watch time is creeping closer and closer to 48 hours (this is what the all-nighter training of being a uni student is for)
- Turn the tables: go into gyms and request money from them every month. No explanation, just ask that they PayPal you some cash and see what happens[1]
- Invent a new field of science/humanities to become a world expert in
- Any time you ask why you're doing something peculiar simply answer that it's "for your New Year's Resolution"
- Simply vibe
- Grow something beautiful and strange (in a lab? in the soil? in your soul? who knows! the choice is yours)
[1] As ever I do not actually recommend doing any of the silly nonsense I suggest in these roll tables
Wash your hands, stay safe, and come play some games with us 💚
