Sunday August 12 : GURPS China
------------------------------

Another session of GURPS Koreans in China will be held on Sunday the 12th
with the ongoing search for the Chinese Emperor, combatting goblins and
dragons, whilst dealing with Tibetans and an anarcho-syndicalist commune.

"GURPS Koreans running all over the place in China" (long titled version)
GM-ed by Michael.

Sunday August 19 : Dark Heresy & Pathfinder
-------------------------------------------

Felix (Pathfinder) and Redmond (Dark Heresy) continue their awesome games
on these days.

In Pathfinder Planescape having introduced an imp into a party, there is
the interesting discovery that people are somewhat unaware of the
existence of a whopping great big ruined cathedral in the middle of the
city. More obvious is the discovery that one member of the party is more
than fancier of rodents.

Kidnappings and interstellar drug cartels have lead the interpid acolytes
into a all-too close contact with the notorious Elder, leading to the
absolute need to spend some time getting up close and personal with a
Space Hulk.

Faith and Reason are still battling it out as a central conflict. I
honestly can't remember where we're up to :)

Fees and Membership
-------------------

After many years of gratis use the Melbourne Unitarian Church is now
charging us $20 per session. That's fine if 8 of us are present; it's a
little more onerous if there is 3.

We encourage Church of Gaming attendees to become Associate Members of the
Melbourne Unitarian Church, a non-creedal fellowship. It helps justify our
presence and existence at said building :)

Membership is $5.50 per annum and forms will be available at CoG gatherings.

By my reckoning however today is a Pathfinder Planescape and Dark Heresy
week, and next week (July 29) should be a Diaspora week.
