It's time for the society's most important event of the year, its Annual General Meeting (AGM). Without an AGM and elected exec members the society cannot exist, and therefore neither can the events we run!
What is an AGM, I hear you cry? It's the meeting where we discuss how the year has gone, make any necessary changes to the Society constitution and also gives you the opportunity to see Ben stress about SU regulations.
So, to help the society function, we need as many members as possible to turn up, submit motions, run for exec roles, and vote.

🎲 Sign up to play Big RPG!
Hey everyone! For those who have never heard of the Big RPG before, its an RPG! That's big!
We will be running Last Orders at the Yawning Portal, a Dungeons and Dragons adventure.
We will be running a number of tables, one for each group, at varying levels. All tables and all players will be playing in the same setting, at the same time. Each table will have their own GM, and can affect each other - sharing clues, asking for aid, bar fights, etc.
The game takes place in a tavern in the Undermountain, where curious characters meet and mingle. You will be playing adventurers, seeking clues to find the adventurer Durnan, all whilst playing poker, fighting in a fight pit, and performing!
Characters and sheets will be provided, so don't worry about making any! Beginners are more than welcome, as this adventure is a great introduction to the core aspects of D&D.
Big RPG is on 3rd of March (Week 8 Sunday) in B2.02 at 2pm-5/6pm!

💭 What happened last week? 💭
Last week in LARP:
Following more background Kitaland intrigue, the party were sent to assassinate a group of assassins who were in turn trying to assassinate Lady Emilia. After navigating through the swamps of northern Kitaland, they made their way to the voidscraper mountains where they invited themselves into a Cave Owners Association meeting, saved a baby yeti and its parent (after subduing them) from a totally trustworthy hunter, and met the Order of the Unfeeling Heart who definitely weren't losing their souls to the void. Eventually they came to Lady Emilia's cave and despite her being shot, managed to dispatch the band of adventurers who were sent to kill her, saving her life.
Last week in Wargames:
Two mighty Baneblades, super-heavy tanks, face off against one another! In what came to be a very close game, both Baneblades eventually met their demise, but it was the Tyranids who finally captured the Guard commander (and ate him)
At one point, the Genestealer/Tyrnaid Baneblade rammed into the guard tank, knocking off at least half of its wounds in one brutal attack!
Last week in Lumina falls:
A few weeks have passed since Ashton went missing and life hasn't quite returned to normal. Luckily for Ashton's friends the McKins (local farmers/witches/potential mayor) found him & were able to nurse him back to health! It's a miracle what leyline power can do.... if only it also brought back memories. As everyone gained their favourite fridge back it wasn't all cheery as Rick & Casey Taylor discovered their missing brother was also in the McKins makeshift hospital turns out five years of treatment won't solve everything! Unfortuneately for Cassidy even getting her boyfriend back can't solve whatever object the suspicous Dr. Ryan Scott put in her nervous system.
Last week in Murderous Misfits:
With the formation of a new god new problems have appeared for this group of misfits! Thankfully with some yelling to get people to exit the now crumbling city of Grova and a magic school that exists on a demi-plain they were able to escape leaving their loved ones to save the world!
The creator/ koras makeshift dad/ everyones least fave Child of the Devourer seemed to think that by joining forces with the misfits they could take down Abaddon .... luckily most of the misfits saw right through this ruse and began quickly trying to find a way to sneaky leave the castle. Big up the assasins guild though for rescuing the group & saving Kora from further experimentation, they even managed to find everyones fave rogue Arthur who might be in a tiny bit of trouble after sneaking out of school!
