2002 Gaming Schedule

Friday

10:00pm-2:00am Wheel of Time
 

Location: Gaming Suites, 22nd Floor - Room 2206
Game Master: Josh Dubin
Game System: Wheel of Time (d20)
Number of Players: 10

   

Set in the Wheel of Time Universe (created by Robert Jordan). Characters will be provided for up to 10 players. Ages 17 and up preferred. If you have dice, please bring them.

   
10:00pm-2:00pm Magic the Gathering Tournament
 

Location: Gaming Suites, 22nd Floor - Room 2202
Game Master: Rob Polzin
Game System: Magic the Gathering
Number of Players: 12

   
The new "Judgment" set will be used in this tournament. Type 2 rules apply if no one has played using the new set, a 30-minute time frame will be used to understand the new applications. Each player will take a deck that will be placed in a drawing box and will be given a 5-minute time frame to get an idea for what type of game they want to play. There are 3 rounds. The quickest player to win in the semi-finals will get a bye to the finals while the other 2 players battle it out. The winner of the tournament will receive 5 of the decks while the 2nd place winner will get 1 deck.
   
6:00pm-10:00pm Rappan Athuk, the Dungeon of Graves
 

Location: Gaming Suites, 22nd Floor - Room 2206
Game Master: Matt Williams
Game System: d20 (Dungeons and Dragons third edition)
Number of Players: 6

   
Players should bring a 3rd level character, with equipment totaling 3000 gp. Stats should be generated via the Point Buy option, with 30 points to spend on your character. Standard Races and Classes, as well as Psionic classes are allowed. This is a fairly dangerous dungeon crawl, so a spare character might not be a bad idea. I don't want to spend too much time with character building, so if you don't come with a character ready, I'll ask you to use one of the ready made ones rather then building one right there, as this will allow more time for the adventure.
   
10:00pm-2:00am There and back again "but for what????"
 

Location: Gaming Suites, 22nd Floor - Room 2206
Game Master: Dan Gjerdahl
Game System: Advanced Dungeons and Dragons - 2nd Edition
Number of Players: 4 - 6 mid-level pre-generated

   
You and your associates were 'requested' by the village sage to locate and acquire 5 items of magical importance to him. Although the methods of your 'employment' are far from voluntary, this has your curiosity piqued. This is just a walk in the woods, or so it appears. Seems the old man is up to something, as he has been acting odd these past few months. This an outdoors adventure for a party of 4 - 6 mid-level characters, with adventure, heroics, and a few laughs along the way.

Game Master: Pedro Rodriguez

Number of Players: 4 - 6

   
In this adventure, the story will fit the players and not the players will fit the story. The players will find themselves on the Outer Rim Territories many hundreds of years before the events of Episode I: The Phantom Menace and the story will unfold around the decisions of the players. The players may make any character with any class starting at Level 4, few species restrictions may apply. There are some minor modifications to the rules, such as the Defense value is a Dodge roll instead and a Parry modifier related to combat rolls, to name a couple. Otherwise the game is as standard. In any case... It's all in the name of Fun! Let the games begin and may the Force be with you.

An adventure for low level characters involving role-playing, puzzle-solving, combat, and thinking.
