7/16/05 Well the year is half over and it's been a bit overwhelming to say the least! It's been quite awhile since our last update, mostly due to me being busy with personal issues that have dragged on way too long (thanks lawyers) and due to the health of Karen O. In case you don't know she suffered a stroke earlier this year and I have been helping nurse her back to health. No one seems to want to step up and run the club so I guess everyone waits! Ah well... Our last event was back in May of this year. We all had a grand old time as usual and the roleplaying was excellent! I'd like to give a big time congrats to Dave F. for doing a fine job producing and creating some awesome atmosphere on the events. The cave of the demons and devils was just insane!!! Many new changes in the club will be implemented. Well the club attends Mystic Realms on a monthly basis and we arrange impromptu trips to the movies and other places. Hopefully we can put together a QUEST event by the end of the year. Two big Renn Faire trips are coming up and I'll try to post the dates when I can confirm them. I've got a major court date coming in August so hopefully I'll be better off to judge what direction the club will take after that. Here's hoping the good guy wins for once!!! That's all for now, see you on the battlefields!!! 1/19/05 Happy New Year Everybody!!! Been along time since our last update! Things have been crazy here at the club. Our Haunted yard was a tremendous success!!! Thanks to everyone who participated especially our Mystic Realms friends! Well winter is upon us and the club is pretty much shut down until the weather warms up. We've been doing our winter thing as usual: trips to the movies, magic tournaments, poker tournaments, board games, the usual! Just because it's winter doesn't mean we are resting on our laurels though. I have been hard at work behind the scenes at the club. I have the plot for our next event pretty much wrapped up, it's a great one, if you want to NPC let me, your club prez know. The event should be held in March, I'll fill everyone in on the details as soon as I have everything locked down. I have also reviewed your comments, suggestions, and critiques. Believe it or not I take all your input very seriously. Some parts of our club are working perfectly, some need tweaking, some are just plain broke! Well it is your input that helps me improve the club. So with that said I redid the monster manuals. The big change is that some monsters have mana and must use that mana to utilize their abilities. I also tweaked some rules in the player rulebooks. For the most part the tweaks are in the players advantage and they will further our efforts to speed up game play and make the game more enjoyable! I removed the rulebooks and monster manuals from the website due to the fact that they seem to get outdated rather quickly and it is impossible for me to keep up with the updates any longer! The latest rulebooks and manuals are available for purchase at a very small fee, and remember all monies collected go back into the club!!! Several members weapons are in desperate need of repair and winter is the perfect time to get your equipment back in shape! Folks let me be honest with you, see the weapons fairy isn't going to keep your gear in good shape for you, you have to put forth the small effort to do this yourselves! I am saying this because I scheduled several dates over the years where I set aside some of my valuable time to teach you guys how to repair and refurbish your gear! Long story short, nobody showed up and except for Dave F. nobody in this club seems capable of putting in the small effort required to fix up their stuff! I don't want to call people lazy but JEEZ!!! Now with that said if you want to know what shape your gear is in just ask me, your club Prez. Well 2005 looks like it's shaping up to be a great year for the club but we can't do it without your help!!! That's all for now, see you all on the battlefields!!! 10/19/04 Just a quick announcement!!! WE WILL BE HAVING THE HAUNTED YARD THIS YEAR!!!
