You can have a party, hang out with friends, dodge losers, and play with the cats. Borrow from your roomies so you can have snacks while you watch TV.  What other game gives you points for sleeping? Just look out for the car alarm. Drink, party, and sleep late as you pursue Slack points to win the game.  Just remember, when your roommate and his S.O. keep you up all night:  You can't throw them out. They live here.

Event Description: It's October and it's getting hard to concentrate on school. There's something in the air. Actually, it's LOTS of things. You are a 10th grader attending Lamar High. You and your friends are also Demon Slayers when nobody's looking... You're expected to put in volunteer hours getting some dogs adopted, and the payoff is a free night of pizza and video games. There's a U.T. football game coming up. The movie Serenity is premiering. Halloween is coming, and the Astronomy Club's all excited about the imminent eclipse. That field trip to a touring exhibit of Bronze Age relics at the Texas History Museum seems pretty tame by comparison. Who cares that they're showing off a priceless German artifact called the Sky Disk? The demons do.

Event Description: This historical fantasy game is set in Northern Ireland during the height of the Viking raids. As the game opens, the monastery of Bangor has been besieged by Norse raiders. A lone monk has escaped to the dun of King Muiredach to beseech his aid. As members of his court, you make haste for Bangor to bring succor to its people and (as knights are wont to do) vengeance upon the heathen. Things get complicated when a rival to the west, Lord Lethlobar, takes advantage of the king's absence to settle an old feud... Can you help defeat the Viking host before your country is torn apart by feudal strife?o.

Engage the Enemy More Closely...
Type of Event: Historical Miniatures

Event Description: Britain's ringing victory of the Napoleonic Wars at sea was the Battle of Trafalgar, fought off the southwest coast of Spain on October 21, 1805. Twenty-seven line-of-battle ships under the command of Admiral Lord Nelson decisively engaged and smashed a larger force of 33 French and Spanish ships under the command of France's Admiral de Villeneuve. It forever ended Napoleon's dream of an invasion of England and established the Royal Navy's near-monopoly on global sea-power for the next century. This game will be a decidedly lighter treatment of the battle using a modification of Kevin Dunn's 'Damn Monitors Again' tabletop naval rules. Beginners (and grognards looking for a break between heavier sessions) are encouraged to play.
