===============================================================
"The CoG", Church of Gaming Newsletter, November 2009, Issue 16
===============================================================
        
Introduction
============

It's been a few months list the last issue of "The Cog", and it's well
about time that we had one! We have had games of Original Dungeons &
Dragons, RuneQuest, GURPS Krononauts, the release of Gulliver's Trading
Company (beta), and visits to "the Burton Club" and Jason and Argonauts
(both at ACMI) and a couple of issues of RPG Review....

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

All games start at 2pm at 110 Grey Street, East Melbourne.

D&D Original
------------

Thanks to James we now have had a session of original, 1974 edition, of
Dungeons & Dragons. Roll 3d6 in order to determine characteristics, pick
on of three classes & etc. Our journey through a forest, past a witch,
into a dungeon with exploding cultists and a giant (disembodied?) hand
have all been great features. True to early D&D style we've also managed
to go through quite a few characters already!

The next sessions of this fine classic is on November 27th

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

Penultimate success has been achieved! With the capture of Queen
Martoraz of the Sazdorf Clan and subsequent ransom for the final torch
of Yelmalio's Blood and the release of Trollkin (of which only some
wished to join their comrades at Rabbit Hat Farm), all that is required
is the transportation of half a dozen ever-burning torches across
troll-infested hinterlands into the middle of a troll complex housing
some four thousand such individuals, and the conducting of a HeroQuest
ritual. Easy!

http://mimesisrpg.com/mailman/listinfo/runequestprax_mimesisrpg.com
                
Next sessions are on November 6th and 20th


GURPS Krononauts
----------------

The computer, once again, seems to be going crazy going on about zombies
again. Again, a most peculiar link has been drawn. The lost company
time-traveller, Ingrid Berkwight, disappears as "Ombre La Belle
d'Bearroc" into the United States and befriends authors Washington
Irving and Edgar Allan Poe in a town once known as Sleepy Hollow, where
the van Meyer family have established themselves. Why is it, suggests
Connor, that they seem to be so up-to-date with discoveries in dynamo
technology?


http://mimesisrpg.com/mailman/listinfo/krononauts_mimesisrpg.com
        
Session on November 13th


RPG Review Issue 9
==================


The Ninth Issue of RPG Review has been released! 

With a guest editor, this a bestiary and aliens issue with an interview
with Steffan O'Sullivan, author of GURPS Bunnies & Burrows, GURPS
Bestiary, GURPS Fantasy Bestiary and FUDGE, among other games. It also
includes a lengthy retrospective article on Dragons and PCs for AD&D, an
almost as lengthy fantasy Australia campaign for D&D 3.x (including many
Australian beasts), a Mouse Guard rules/Warhammer setting crossover
campaign, designer's notes for The Celestial Empire (Imperial China
BRP), and a sentient species generator for the Dr. Who RPG, a movie
review for Splice and much more!

Hi,

Someone contacted me on a forum a while ago, asking to be notified if I got a game together. Is it OK to tell him about this upcoming session?

Yours,
James.
