Hello helloooooo! I'm back again with your newsletter for this week. Now I won't lie to you, I am INSANELY busy this week, but the newsletter is a nice little chill out moment for me, so I'm happy to get to it!
❗ Announcements ❗
🎮 GAME JAM!
We have an exciting collab opportunity coming up with none other than Game Design Society! This weekend, we will be hosting a ‘Game Jam’ in B2.02, giving you the chance to design your own game! This will take place over the whole weekend, with introductions happening on the evening of Friday, following all the way through to the ‘judging’ process on the Sunday evening (it’s not scary I promise!). No sign ups are needed ahead of time, so just come along and make some games!

💭 What happened last week? 💭
Last Week in LARP!!
Pirates called upon the party to distract the guards of High Lord, Keeper of the Ports, etc, etc, Marinus, to be able to steal his new ship, the Shining Shark. Along the Shining Coast, they encountered bandits, a seahorse, a sorcerer with a rabbit, a gunpowder seller (come to Gary's Gunpowder to get free toast with every order!) and more bandits on their quest, and set off an explosion at the port. As the pirate crew sailed away in their newly acquired ship, the party realised one important thing - they'd not gotten paid.
Extra Bonus End Bit
The answer to 'Feldspar Buttons Firebreath III's Funky Beloved Fun (the obnoxiously named minigame)' last week was in fact, 'Codenames'! I think that's the first time I've stumped a few of you, but great job to all who participated. This week, Feldspar was spotted at boardgames taking a rest on one of the game boxes.... but which one was it? Let us know in the discord!
Hydrate, don't diedrate, have a good week, and I'll see you next time! 💜
