As many of you will know, we launched the first killer game of the year on Sunday 9th Oct. This is a Circle of Death game, although most casualties so far have not been killed by their hunters. We are hoping to run at least one Killer game a term, and if there is enough interest, possibly more. As it stands, the next killer game will probably start one week after the current one ends.
Some of you may have already bought copies of our periodical fanzine,"The Sign". If not, please do. The Chronicler, David Donachie, worked very hard to get this edition out in time for Fresher's Week. "The Sign" usually features , roleplaying articles, short stories and artwork by various members of the society, and is published as and when enough material for an edition is submitted. So if you are of a literary or artistic bent, please , please give us something to publish, and experience the joy of seeing your name, and work, in print .
