Greetings and Salutations:

Welcome to the November Newsletter! Due to construction in Building 33, game club meetings will change venue for the rest of 2007. Location for club meetings in 2008 TBD (so keep glued to the newsletter!). We will meet in Bldg. 270, "D" Wing, Conference Room 138A.

Directions: Assuming attendees will be arriving from east of B.270, proceed west on McDonnell to Campus Parkway, turn left, about 150 ft later, turn right into the little side street (name escapes me). Quizzno's will be ahead on the right. The entrance to the B.270 parking lot will be on the left. The "D" wing is the wing that points to Quizzno's, the first one you get to. Pick your parking place outside the end of the "D" wing. Walk up to the end of "D" wing. The door with the badge reader is the one on the left as you approach the building. Swipe your badge and enter your 4-digit pass code. Enter the building. Proceed straight through the stairwell and through the door to the main "D" wing hallway. The hallway proceeds to the center of B.270. About 1/3 of the way down the corridor you will pass restrooms/drinking fountain on your left. Immediately past that will be a set of double doors (propped open) on the right, labeled "AV-8B….T45TS". Turn right, through the doorway. Conference Room 138A is directly in front of you.

I have heard no word regarding off-site RPG or events at the Fantasy shop, but Nate is hosting a gaming event in early December (see below).

Mike has released the meeting schedule for 2008 and there are still plenty of open slots. Email me if you’d like to sponsor a game. The next available meeting date is Jan. 3^rd, 2008.

Since this is your club newsletter, please feel free to email me any contributions you may have. In particular, web links for Link of the Month, game reviews or any game you’d like added to the Wish List.

Adventure Game Club President

NOTE: All meetings are held in the Bldg 33 Cafeteria unless otherwise posted. Meetings start at 5:00 pm; games will start no later than 5:15 pm. You are still welcome to come after that and we will try to work you into the game if at all possible, but you’ll have to figure out the rules as we go.

Link(s) of the Month:

The Big Muddy Historical Gaming Alliance of St. Louis, Missouri is holding the Command Con IX gaming convention November 16th and 17th at the Sheraton Westport Hotel (Plaza Ballroom), Westport Plaza St. Louis, MO. More details about this organization and their convention can be found on their web-site.

Paul’s RPG thang:

Nothing reported. Contact Paul Oberlin for further details.

Less lame DISCLAIMER: The RPG group is not *officially* associated with the BAGC.

Mark’s calendar of Fantasy Shop events:

Fun and games, but no details…

The Blurbs:

Betrayal at the House on the Hill: Explore a mysterious house filled with deadly secrets -- but beware! One of your fellow players is secretly a monster plotting to betray you! This is a tile laying game in which 3-6 players build the house as they explore it. At some point during the game, the monster is revealed and the remaining players must fight for their lives!

Kremlin is a game of political intrigue set in the Soviet Politburo. Players secretly influence politicians, using them to expunge other player’s politicians to Siberia, promote their own, or wheel and deal. The player who successfully gets their controlled Party Chief to wave 3 times at the May Day parade wins the game. Nice balance of chrome and playability, and the theme fits tightly.
