Cambridge University Dungeons And Dragons Society NEWSLETTER the Second 1991/92 Ever-so Slyghtly Doctored Minutes of the Last Committee Meeting "... and that's how much membership money we've collected this year,"said the Treasurer. He looked up to find himself surrounded. "OK," said the President, his vowel sounds getting shorter by the minute, "I move that I be provided with a Society-paid drinks account." "Fire!" shouted the Treasurer, fooling no-one. "Er... well actually that sounds quite reasonable..." "And the Society should buy me a new amp," said the Vice-President, "because the one I've got is just TOO F---ING QUIET... oops..." "Yes, yes," said the Treasurer, "I'm sure we can run to that." "I need a new pair of boots," said a voice from a darkened corner. "Sounds like money well spent," said the Treasurer nervously, as the rest of the Committee looked at each other and made the sign of the Evil Eye. "Now there's a happy thing," said the Assistant Secretary, who was always saying things like that for no apparent reason. "I just want a holiday," said the External Officer. This immediately engaged the enthusiasm of the rest of the Committee, and soon suggestions were flying thick and fast - "Switzerland... Barbados... the Plateau of Leng..." "So that's settled," said the President. The Secretary muttered something irrelevant about leather. "Yes, right, so I'll write the cheques now then, shall I?" said the Treasurer. "Now will you please let go of my balls?" People who have yet to join! We regret that we cannot send you Newsletters indefinitely unless you actually decide to join.

If you want us to continue to stay in touch, a contribution towards these costs would be greatly appreciated. 2 a year sound reasonable? We thought so... Please get in touch (preferably with the money) by Christmas, so that we0know whether we0should continue to send you stuff. Current members who are leaving at the end of this year, please bear this in mind. Weekly Meetings The weekly meeting scheduled for Tuesday 29th October has been moved to Wednesday 30th, but wi|l still be held at 7:00pm in Emmanuel's Upper Hall. After that, it's back to Tuesdays again. One Off Meetings Sometime this term we0want to devote one of the Tuesday meetings to a number of one-off scenarios, so that people can try out new or unfamiliar game systems/GMs/players. But to do thys, we need GMs to run things. If anyone is interested in running something jwst for one evening, please get in touch with one of the Committee, letting him/her know the system you want to run< and the number of players you can cope with. We will then post the details (date etc.) in the next Newsletter. Pub Meeting Our next communal ritual of libation will be held on Thursday24tx October, in Catz bar, from 7:30pm onwards. Thys is a good place to find Committee members and bribe them with alcohol. Labyrinth - Live Role-Playing If you fancy the idea of hitting people with rubber swords, or shouting arcane Words of Power at eccentrically-attired monsters, then get in touch with Harvey Maycock (our External Officer). Harvey will arrange a date for this expedition to suit thse interested, some time later this term, so the sooner you get in touch the better (by or at the Pub Meeting, for preference). If anyone has any suggestions for a live ro|e-playing venue other than Labyrinth, Harvey is also the person to see. Video Evening We want to organise a video evening as soon as possible, so please get in touch with us with suggestins and requests. So far, suggestins have included Alien Natin, Robin Hood (either version), The Naked Gun< The Lair of the Whyte Worm, and... well, is there anyone out there wh hasn't seen The Princess Bride? Let us know what you're interested in, and we'll have it organised and announced in the next Newsletter. Campaign Information If you are run~ing a campaign this year (or are interested in run~ing one), please get in touch with Rebecca Teed (Emmanuel College, or RT108 on Phoenix), and let her know your name and college (or wherever you can be contacted), the system you want to run, and the number of spaces you have available (or whetherit's already full up). If you would also include a brief paragraph about your campaign, it will be included in an upcoming Newsletter. If on the other hand you are having difficulty finding a campaign in which to play, don't give up - keep coming to Society meetings, and watch out for information in future Newsletters. Classifieds? We have had a few enquiries from people interested in selling role-playing materials. If anyone out there has any games, modules, magazines etc. that they would like to sell, please get in touch with Iain Walker or(Rebecca Teed, and we can styck an advert in the next Newsletter for you. Similarly, if you are trying to hold of any out-of-date or otherwise unobtainable games etc., we can run a "Wanted" advert for you as well. - Wanted - Players for French-Speaking Campaign Thierry Chaucheyras, who lectures in French at Jesus Cllege, is looking for players for a campaign to be run in French.
