ZOMBIES!!


Fridays meeting went fairly well. Three groups, playing three games. Not sure if the zombie dice/elefant hunt group actually played though........

Thanks to Dakota, one group played Zombies. It looked like a tile/mini game of sorts. Lots of tiny zombies running around the board, with players destroying as many as they could, I think. I didn't get a chance to play, but maybe next time I'll join.

My group played Munchkins. It was fun, we seemed to pick it up fairly quickly. I'm sure we bent a few rules and missed a couple of things, but for the most part it ran smoothly. Being newcomers, I think we were all a little hesitant to backstab each other, there was a lot of friendly "help" going on. We'll learn.

Ok, the next meeting might get bumped a week or two. The game this week is against D-Ridge at home, so I'll be busy getting ready. The week after is away, so maybe the week after that we will schedule another meeting. November is really not that far off.

Friday Events


3 followers!! Wow, getting popular. I wanted to remind anyone looking, that this Friday will be a retry of club day in the lunch area. I am putting together a rolling fortress cart to advertise our club. I can be out during A lunch, but I have class during the second lunch, so if anyone wants to man the cart during B lunch, I would appreciate it.

Friday is a home game, so I can hang around after school for a little while. I have a few games that need playing, Munchkins, Settlers of Cataan, Zombie Dice, and Elefant Hunt. I have to brush up on rules, but they are all pretty  simple.

PERMISSION SLIPS!! Most importantly, get your permission slips turned in. I have received a few, but need a lot more. Once I have those, I can submit paperwork, we become official. Any questions, see me in room 323.

Club Day at Skyline


Hey! I changed the format of the blog so that I could get the poll gadget to work. Look over on the sidebar and scroll down, you should see a poll where you can pick which class of character you would like to play. Kind of fun.

This Friday, the 7th, there will be club tables set up in the cafeteria area to advertise the many different clubs at Skyline. I'm going to try to haul a table or something over and promote a little RPG CLUB madness. Maybe we can add to our numbers?

PERMISSION SLIPS! The faster you get those to me, the sooner we become official. I already have two, waiting on about 20 more. Get busy.

Short Meetings....Get it??


First, I was really excited to see so many faces at the first meeting. Plenty of interest and I think if we get going and others see how much fun we are having, the club will grow. I will post a deadline for turning in permission slips. (Is there a way to put a calendar on here.....?) Once I get the permission slips, I will turn in our club constitution and we will be approved as an official club at Skyline HS. !

Then the fun can begin.

Short meetings until we start for real in November. I have a few ideas, maybe character creation, shopping and outfitting, mini painting, or just playing other games. One game I really want to introduce is MUNCHKIN. Munchkin is a Steve Jackson game, wildly popular sarcastic take on the Dungeons & Dragons theme. It is advertised as" D&D without the silly role playing..". Very fun. I will be looking to get a copy here in the near future. There are other versions also, Sci-Fi, Western, Pirates, Vampires...too bad teaching doesn't pay more. Maybe we need a fundraiser.

I'm looking forward to getting started too. I see some people have made comments and at least viewed the page. I'm not technologically advanced, so if there is anyway to improve the site, let me know.
