Next Event 4/5/08 – "Conan vs. Nanuck"
|
Name a game. We probably play it. The Strategic Gaming Society is a haven for
gamers of all sorts – whether you’re looking for an old favorite like chess
to something strange and new like Ursuppe, where you play evolving protozoa! We meet every
Saturday at the We have a vast library of board games, featuring
many popular titles such as Settlers of
Catan, Axis
and Allies, RoboRally,
Munchkin, Diplomacy and several versions of Risk. Interspersed with the known games are more obscure but
equally entertaining games like Kung-Fu
Samurai on Giant Robot Island, Citadels
or Democrazy. The SGS is also your place to find players of
collectable games like Magic: The
Gathering and Warhammer 40K. To raise money for the “Child's
Play” charity this fall semester, we plan on organizing several pay-to-play Magic:TG
draft tournaments and selling Jumbopoly games
– our homebrew version of Monopoly.
(Check it out at childsplaycharity.org!)
Meanwhile, with more Warhammer 40K players around campus, we’ll be able
to muster campaign-style play this year or at least more pick-up games. For pencil-and-paper role-players, we also
organize games for a variety of systems based on interest. Though generally
playing various settings of d20, last year we branched into some alternative roleplaying systems – in particular, “Big Eyes, Small
Mouth” (a tri-stat game based on anime series), “Blue Planet” (a hard-sci-fi
system) and "Warhammer Fantasy" (a dark
fantasy setting based on the popular miniatures game). Other systems we’ve
played in the past include White Wolf’s World
of Darkness games (e.g. Vampire, Mage, Werewolf, etc.) and Trinity series (Adventure, Aberrant
and Aeon), and Star
Wars d20 in addition to a steady diet of Dungeons & Dragons games in homebrewed or Eberron settings. In short, welcome to the Strategic Gaming
Society! If thus far you haven’t spotted something that sparked your
interest, please don’t hesitate to suggest something – we’re always willing
to try something new! Have a question? Please send us an email at sgs@elist.tufts.edu and we’ll get back to you as
soon as possible. Interested in learning more about our weekly meetings? Join our email newsletter here, if you have a Tufts email account. If you don’t, please send us an email at the above address. |
