Amtgard's Barony of Seven Sleeping Dragons: Boffer Combat in San Luis Obispo, CA.

[SSD Populace] Amtgard, 5/25/13 at Santa Rosa Park

There’s a new Sheriff..err..Baron in town!
First I’d like to say a big “Thank you” to Lord Kairos for holding down the fort for the last year and a half.  He is now graciously stepping into the office of Champion, Lady Faye is our Regent for another term, and Foremek is stepping into the office of Guildmaster of Reeves.  So feel free to pester him with your rules related questions and scenarios.  Even if you know the answer, bug him anyway.  It will keep him on his toes.
One of my goals for the next 6 months is to set forth a loose calendar as to what battlegames we’re going to have on a given Saturday.  This will hopefully allow you to plan out your strategy or gear loadout and have something to look forward to (and hopefully get excited about).  Also, if you show up and you just REALLY want to play a certain battlegame, I’m glad to accomodate.  Similarly, if you had a game you wanted to run – let me know and we’ll hammer out the details.
Upcoming promotions:
Aside from the usual bonus credit to travel to other lands and experience Amtgard in different places, we have the Food Fight coming up where you will have the opportunity to earn/buy credits towards the class of your choice while helping the lesser fortunate.  Also, if you bring a newbie, you both will get an extra credit on that new person’s 3rd attendance.  Amtgard is more fun when there are more people, so please make it a point to find some new blood and bring them along.
Also, there will be a Archery tournament, wherein the prize is a bow and a couple arrows (note: The prize will go to the highest placing participant who doesn’t already have a bow).  Date is to be announced.
This week, Lord Kairos has a V8 battlegame planned, so make sure to follow up on the rule changes (http://www.warlordsports.com/Assets/Gallery/MF_97_9_1.pdf).  Find your favorite class and brush up on the rules.  We would like feedback to present to the V8 committee (good and bad feedback), so dont be shy about your opinions.
Hopefully next week I’ll put out the calendar both through the email and on the SSD boards of the Westmarch website.  (http://caamtgard.com/phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=7).
I know that’s a big wall of text, but at least it was hopefully entertaining or informative.
Hope you see you all this weekend!

[SSD Populace] Amtgard: May 18th, 2013

Greetings populace! This Saturday we will be doing Amtgard as normal and I’ll have loaners for anyone who needs them.

Tomorrow (or probably today as I got this one out late) we will be doing a demo at SLO High School for the Tech Club lan party. This is a great chance to recruit people as we have been dwindling in numbers recently. If you can help please send me a message. We will be doing it from 5-6.

I would like to give a special shout out to Sir Deimos for his wonderful knighting ceremony last week. Remember that now’s your chance to beat him as tradition limits to single sword for the next couple of weeks (although you still might have trouble killing him).
Our coronation will be occurring this Saturday and is sure to be a fun event. After 18 months as monarch and sending out emails I will be leaving the office for Sir Deimos to take my place (this has nothing to do with blackmail… shut up) and just as a warning, due to doing this email weekly I might accidentally send it out out of habit during Deimos’ reign (of terror).
I’m planning the v8 playtest for the 25th, so be sure that you read up on the new rules if you want to join us for it or if you just want to say it sucks while having up to date information why. On the other hand it could be more fun to argue that it sucks without reading it, I may consider doing that.

Business as Usual

A new system for news updates is in the works, and should be online in the near future.  Until something new is up and running, we are available every Saturday from 1 to 4 PM or later at Santa Rosa Park in San Luis Obispo.  We have loaner gear available, and friendly folks to welcome you to our game.

Feel free to drop by!  If you want regular updates about our activities, feel free to check out the link above to join our mailing list.
