Church of Gaming, June 2009 Newsletter, Issue 8
===============================================

Introduction
============

Welcome to the eighth issue of our newsletter!

Gaming at CoG at the past month has been - as will continue - with 
GURPS Krononauts and RuneQuest Prax.

The former campaign has started up with quite a scale; an Artificial
Intelligence based in Archangel in far north Russia, an amoral
corporation and a journey back to the amazing events of Hernan Cortes
and the invasion of the Aztec Empire.

In the latter campaign, the famous "Cradles" adventure has come to an
end with the valiant PCs escaping from the Lunar Coders, taking the 
giant's cradle out to sea, defeating the Watchdog of Corflu, leading 
to a rebellion in that port-town and converting Duke Rauss to the
Yelmalio way. What next?!


Gaming Timetable
================

RuneQuest Rhythm of the Heat 
----------------------------

Now two-thirds complete the campaign will move into its final and 
dramatic conclusion as Sun Dome County expands its borders, rebellion
brew in Prax and the Lunars fortify Pavis. Mailing list here:
