If none of that really matters to you, it's also important to note that membership numbers shows the SU that people want our society to stick around, so if that's the case for you, please buy your membership and support us!

💭 What happened last week? 💭
Last Week In RPGS!!!
- Inkspire - Last week in the world of Inkspire, Zel, the queen of the nation of Nythera challenged Tzar Dimitri to a duel of honour! Or... a battle of honour... I guess, as both fighters had another two members joining them, and the hwole fight was done with frying pans. I wish I was joking. So... PCs Zel, Arley and Melody faced off against PC Elena, as well as NPCs Dimitri and Visily. All the meanwhile, The Witch Hunter in Red (also known as final party PC Rosie) was dealing with some 'misbehaviour' in the church. Good thing all the bloodshed blended in with her Little Red Hood...
Last Week In LARP!!! The party was contacted by a Lord of house von Blud, asking them to deliver some papers to the outskirts of the endless forest to a mysterious seer named Terne.
They encountered many things on the trek across kitaland, and in the forest itself, including some overzealous Reeves, many hunter clansmen, a ghost of a hunter, and the bear he tried to kill.
Terne seemed very happy with the context of what was delivered to him, and the party stayed for some drinks at his bar. Surprisingly thriving for being in the endless forest.
Extra Bonus End Bit
It was great to see so many people get themselves involved in 'Feldspar Buttons Firebreath III's Funky Beloved Fun (the obnoxiously named minigame)' last week. As many of you correctly pointed out, the 'Shield of Faith' spell is not a touch spell, and Feldspar had cheekily changed the spell from 'Shield' to 'Shield of Faith', so well done to the eagle eyes amongst you!
This week, Feldspar has got his hands on an RPG, but he's hidden the title! Can you recognise what the game is?
Hydrate, don't diedrate, have a good week, and I'll see you next time! 💜
